One Terrorist Suspect Was from Bin Laden`s Camp

It has been verified for the first time that one of the 19 suspects of the terrorist activity against the U.S. originated from the bin Laden`s training camp.

ABC reported yesterday that ``according to the testimony of a training mate, it has been verified that one of the 19 suspects of the terrorist activities had a 6 month training in a bin Laden`s training camp in Afghanistan.`` ``This is the first evidence that bin Laden was directly connected to this terror.``

Majed Moqed was the suspect who had a terrorist training at bin Laden`s camp, verified by testimony of his training mate. He was pointed as a primary suspect of the terrorist attack on Pentagon after hijacking American Airline 77 on Sep. 11.

A training mate of Moqed, `Max` said, ``Moqed was one of my 18 training mate from our team. He was from Saudi Arabia and is about 25-30 years old.``

Mr. Max, who interviewed hiding his face, said ``we had several speeches by bin Laden that we should destroy the U.S. that is trying to overthrow Islam during his 2 year training. The participants were trained to rush into the buildings with bombs by the order of bin Laden.``

He also testified that ``bin Laden has many hiding places in Afghanistan and moves from place to place by an old Mercedes-Benz bus to avoid from any possible surveillance.`` Max said, ``he changes his residence every 48 hours to shake off his shadow and so it would be virtually impossible for the U.S. to find him.``

According to him, ``over 3000 people from many nations are learning the skills of armed military operation, surveillance, and intelligence activity. After the completion of the training, they scatter to Europe, Middle East, Canada, and so forth, and wait for the operation order from bin Laden.``

Max has defected from the bin Laden`s terrorist organization, al Qaeda, and is now cooperating with the U.S. government. He added that ``the next target of bin Laden would be to release of Omar Abdel Rahman, who is in prison for the charge of the terror on the World Trade Center in 1993. Bin Laden is likely to kidnap a U.S. ambassador to trade him with Abdel Rahman.``
