Abu Bakr, that name sounds familiar.

See post regarding WSJ Opinion article

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/744820/posts

"According to phone records analyzed by Ms. Mylroie, Abdul Yasin appeared in the orbit of one of U.S. conspirators, Muhammed Salameh, some weeks after Mr. Salameh made a series of phone calls to relatives in Iraq, including to his uncle, Kadri Abu Bakr. Mr. Bakr is a senior figure in the PLO's "Western Sector" terrorist unit; at the very least, his phone calls would be monitored by Iraqi intelligence.

Ramzi Yousef also showed up after the calls to Mr. Bakr, according to Ms. Mylroie's analysis. His arrival "transformed the conspiracy from a pipe bombing plot to an audacious attack on the World Trade Center." Yousef was "the individual most responsible for building the World Trade Center bomb" -- 1,200 pounds of urea nitrate with a nitroglycerine trigger, booster chemicals, sulfuric acid and sodium cyanide."

Interesting...

Nothing special about Abu Bakr -- a very common Arabic name, move along now.

I checked the Mecca phone book. Hundreds of Abu Bakr's. Abu Bakr Plumbing, Abu Bakr & Sons Moving Service, Abu Bakr Virginity Restoration Service.

Really. Nothing there. Move along now.
