Would this be one of the people whom Teresa Heinz Munster wants treated as a POW?

Really now? Where was he planning on getting the anthrax? From Hatfill or some other rogue white boy gone astray?

LOL!
You were quick in finding the article. :)

"Moazzam Begg, one of nine Britons detained at Camp Delta in Cuba, has agreed to plead guilty over an elaborate Al Qaeda plot as part of the deal returning him to the UK, his lawyer said.
The 36-year- old father- of-three has allegedly confessed to planning to fly an unmanned plane from Suffolk to London and drop the bacteria over Westminster. "

I hope they also made him tell them where he was going to get the anthrax. I bet it was NOT from Hatfill. ;)
To: riri
gee, you would think we would have drugged this guy to find out, I hope?

I actually found it an hour ago, but I've been doing multi-searches, because I have a phobia of posting repeat articles.

Hope they treated him real nice......NOT.

Brought to us from the "Czech Republic", I see. ;)
To: TrebleRebel
Well I sure hope those interrogators weren't mean to him to get him to confess! That wouldn't be fair. :-(

That's an odd thing to confess to. Either it's true, and the plot thickens considerably, or he made it up, which would be incredibly stupid of him.
Not to say that incredible stupidity is out of the question when dealing with jihadis. It just doesn't add up. Guantanamo might not be Waikiki, but it's not like they're getting worked over with crowbars and jumper cables. Why make up a story that will keep you in prison for decades?
There is no upshoot to confessing to this, unless they already have you dead to rights, and you're trying to avoid being executed.

No doubt this guy "broke" just about the time the FBI started leaving Hatfil alone.
The only way this plea will work is if the guy pointed to a location where they found stored anthrax.
One hopes they remove it from that place very, very carefully!

Maybe he got it from that white gun nut, who was supposed to be the D.C. Sniper.

Actually, everything could start to unravel just as I thought it might. If I am correct on my hunches, the peices of the puzzle will starting looking clearer and clearer as November 2004 draws near.

Interesting,but pretty much in line with some of the more outlandish material "revealed during interrogations".
The rascal may be speaking the truth-as he knows it. The al-Qaeda folks never had a shortage of brave-sounding-but-impractical schemes.Any time one of the schemes collapsed under the weight of its irrationality, the idiots behind it could shrug, and say : " It was the will of Al'lah (His name be blessed !)"

I expect he must have told them where he was going to get the anthrax and presumable all that was followed up, by now and will be the subject of another article. Interesting that this article makes no mention of that whatsoever, when in fact anyone's first question would be exactly, where he is getting that quantity of anthrax.
Maybe that's why we didn't find any anthrax in Iraq -- it was moved long before we got there, Saddam certainly had plenty of time, thanks to Chirac and others.

That's what the intelligence agencies thought about a 9-11 style attack in 1995 or 1996, when they were told -- at that time, I think it was called "boinka" attack, but had the same general idea of flying airplanes into buildings. They dismissed it because it was "impractical" -- UNTIL IT HAPPENED.
