CNN said the three men suspects had stopped to ask an Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer for directions Wednesday, and the officer was suspicious enough to write down their car's license plate number. The license number was registered to a rental car -- a car other than what the men were driving, the network said.
In New York, a law enforcement source told The Associated Press that one of the three, Asad R. Siddiqy of New York, was a suspect in the bombing. Siddiqy is a cab driver in the borough of Queens.
CNN said Siddiqy was arrested in Dallas, along with Mohammed Chafi. The network said a brother of Siddiqy was arrested in Oklahoma.
The prefix Al- is common, for example Al-Hussaini, the former Iraqi Republican Guard and McVeigh accomplice.
Could Alshafei be an Americanized version of Al-Shafei. I know an alternative spelling of Chafi is Shafi, giving us Al-Chafi. Just a thought. I am curious to know the whereabouts and country of origin of the Chafi detained in the OKC bombing case
