He evaded Israeli capture by going to ground among his relatives in America. The U.S. authorities at the time turned down Israels request to extradite this U.S. national. He is reportedly the scion of a prominent, affluent family in El-Bireh, Ramallah, one of whose members is a former mayor and most of whom carry American citizenship, as do many elite Palestinian families in Ramallah and its environs. The latest information coming out of the FBI investigation traces Atta, Ashehri and another of the seven suicide pilots, Ziad Jarrah, from the Lebanese Bekaa Valley, to Hamburg four years ago, where they established an Islamic terrorist cell. Terrorist experts note that this cell based itself on a much older German-based terrorist group the one involved in the 1988 Pan Am 103 terrorist disaster over Lockerbie, Scotland, in which 270 died. Atta, who set up an Islamic prayer room in the local university, was known in Hamburg as Mohamed el-Amir. Ashihri registered for studies, but never turned up. Jarrah, who flew aboard the plane that crashed near Pittsburgh, went from Germany to Afghanistan 18 months ago and from there to Miami, Florida. It now appears that some of the seven suicide pilots may have trained not only in private flying schools in Florida, but at U.S. military schools. That is yet another pointer to how well Islamic jihadists were able to secretly place themselves in American society and its institutions. The most recent penetration dates back 11 years at least, although its roots go back much earlier. In 1990, when the Afghan war ended with the Red Armys defeat, Osama Bin Laden, who led the international Islamic brigade America raised to fight the Red Army, turned coat. Afghan Arabs -- as those volunteers came to be known -- were allowed to settle in the United States with their families. Some stayed loyal to their former commander and enlisted to the Al Qaeda, the militant movement Bin Laden created to fight the second surviving secular superpower, America. Those Afghan Arabs form the American-based core of Al Qaeda. A second important branch that buried its operatives inside the United States was the fanatical and violent Egyptian Jihad Islami movement, Bin Ladens foremost ally. Bin Laden's published creed is: "To kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible." TERROR IN JERUSALEM AGAIN An Israeli motorist died in the hospital last night after being shot in the chest by terrorists on Route 9 between Jerusalem's French Hill and Ramot neighborhoods. A second Israeli man traveling in the same car was hit in the ear. Security forces searched for the assailants, who were believed to have fled in the direction of Ramallah. Army forces launched a four-hour incursion into Ramallah following an ambush on an Israeli car in northern Jerusalem which killed one Israeli man late last night. The army said that its troops entered the southern sectors of the Palestinian-controlled city in retaliation for the ambush on the road between Jerusalem's French Hill and Ramot neighborhoods. The raid by IDF tanks and infantry came under very heavy light arms fire from the Palestinians. IAF Apache helicopters also participated in the raid, according to reports. The army said a number of arrests were made, reportedly of key fugitives. The IDF withdrew before dawn. The Palestinians reported at least one security man, Ali al-Yaseany, 26,was killed. Dozens of others were wounded in the strike. They also reported that some IDF tanks penetrated all the way to the Palestinian Legislative Council building, a symbol of Palestinian autonomy. ARAFAT-PERES MEETING POSTPONED INDEFINITELY After heated discussion between Prime Minister Sharon and Shimon Peres, the proposed meeting of Peres with Arafat was postponed indefinitely. ------------------------ Yahoo!
