The Egyptian
Its my filing cabinet folks.
BS: The FBI and other U.S. agencies are interested enough in Mursi to have posted a $5 million reward this year for his capture. Egypt’s government reportedly is interested enough to have locked up his two sons in an effort to track down their father….After the U.S. invasion in 2001, computer files uncovered by reporters in Afghanistan showed that by 1999 Mursi, armed with a startup budget of $2,000 to $4,000, was working to develop chemical and biological weapons in Afghanistan….
Experts believe the gas was hydrogen cyanide, used in gas-chamber executions. But NATO chemical weapons specialist Rene Pita says that compound has long been viewed as an unsatisfactory mass-casualty chemical weapon because of its instability and low density….
Even before discovery of his Afghan operation, Mursi was quietly being hunted as an al-Qaida bombmaker, Mohamed Salah, a Cairo expert in extremism, said. He said the Egyptian was suspected of having helped train suicide bombers who attacked the destroyer USS Cole in Yemen, killing 17 American sailors.
Five months after that October 2000 attack, Egyptian authorities arrested Mursi’s son Mohamed as he flew into Cairo with a fake Yemeni passport, Cairo’s al-Ahram Weekly reported at the time.
“That indicates the family was in Yemen,” said Salah. “Abu Khabab must have gone to Yemen. Why Yemen? Because of the USS Cole.”
