Al Anwar - Beirut - Sept.  21, 01

A team of U.S.  intelligence officers is heading to Beirut to
investigate the role Osama bin Laden may have had in the ill-starred
insurrection staged by Sunni fanatics in north Lebanon on the turn of
the century to overthrow the Lebanese government. 

The Americans have sent word about their interest to see and interrogate
the detained insurrectionists in Lebanon's Roumieh prison about the
claims some of them had made of fighting alongside bin Laden against the
Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. 

The leader of the revolt, Bassam Kanj, was killed with his three senior
aides and 15 other rebels in the uprising in north Lebanon's Dinniyeh
Mountains over the first 8 days of the year 2000.  Kanj had a 1997
driving license issued by Boston authorities. 

Fourteen Lebanese army troops and officers were also killed in the
fighting that raged from cave to cave on the snow- blanketed mountains. 
The authorities contend the crush of the insurrection had finished off
bin Laden's cells in Lebanon altogether. 

Media reports said Thursday the American team would also seek
information about bin Laden's ties with the Muslim fundamentalist group
headed by Palestinian fundamentalists Abu Mohjen, who is based in
Sidon's Palestinian refugee camp of Ein El Hilweh. 

The FBI has also asked Lebanon's Prosecutor-General Adnan Addoum for any
available information about Ziad Jarrah, a Lebanese from Baalbeck who
U.S.  authorities say may have been one of the 19 hijackers who staged
the terrorist attacks of New York and Washington Sept.  11. 

Jarrah, 26, has just finished a course in a flying school in Miami and
was preparing to return to the Hamburg University in Germany, where he
had been studying aviation engineering for the last four years.  He was
among the victims of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. 

His family in Baalbeck rejected U.S.  claims that their son might have
converted to terrorism.  They said he was a fun- loving spendthrift
playboy who would never fit into terrorism, let alone suicide.
