The whereabouts of Mohammed and Binalshibh have not been revealed by the US authorities. Asked whether torture was being used on the two men, J.Cofer Black, the US State Department co-ordinator for counterterrorism, has said: "All I can say to that is that there is a before and an after September 11." He added: "We have taken off our kid gloves."

However, according to the information leaked to Der Spiegel magazine, Binalshibh began to talk while he was still in the custody of Pakistan's intelligence service.

Mohammed was less co-operative, spending the first two days of his captivity crouching on the floor of his cell and reciting verses from the Koran.

Since then Mohammed has revealed details of much of the network he built up in the US to destroy bridges, planes, trains and fuel supplies.

He has admitted that one of his associates was Iyman Faris, a Kashmiri truck driver who was jailed for 20 years last week in Virginia after he admitted scouting New York's Brooklyn Bridge for a possible attack.

There is some suspicion that a few al-Qaeda operatives have been turned by their US captors in an effort to break down al-Qaeda's international structure further.

Mohammed has admitted that after September 11, while he was still on the run, he continued to plan attacks in the US, including one scheme to blow up petrol stations in New York and Washington.

[A CA Guy]

"co-ordinator of the operations of holy Tuesday"

Holy Tuesday?

Does this indicate that before the events a "tuesday" was chosen on purpose, or is the title an afterthought?

We can't kill these creeps fast enough.

THE two main planners of the September 11 terrorist attacks have revealed details of Osama bin Laden's close involvement in organising the atrocity, according to leaked transcripts of their interrogations.

Lots of leaked information and unnamed soures today identifying our past and current efforts against al-Qaeda and other jihadist irregulars. I think the 16 helicopter deaths may have had something to do with it.

It's like somebody is saying, lookee here folks, we are in this covert war and our soldiers are dieing for a reason. JMO.

Torture isn't necessary with the right drugs.

I remember the time when I was put under to have my wisdom teeth removed...mama...

How much time off will he get for good behavior?

That he is still alive beggars the imagination.

Does anyone else notice that there is lots of 9/11 news coming out recently?

So the plot was hatched and the great bulk of the planning was done while Clinton was president.

What does this do to the current democratic argument that the terrorists are terrorists because Bush is so mean to terrorists?

I looked for the article on the Der Spiegel site, and found this: Operation Heiliger Dienstag [Operation Holy Thursday]. Since it would cost money to look at the articles in the dossier, I'm going to try to find a hard copy of the issue of the magazine instead.
