He has, it is said, 27 aliases, speaks five languages, and is – say the Americans – as smooth and unruffled in a sleazy nightclub or in a restaurant in North Carolina, where he studied engineering in Chowan College, as he is in a staunchly conservative Islamic home in Pakistan.

Here's the info on Chowan College.

Two observations:

1. I couldn't find where Chowan College's website said anything about having an engineering school or any engineering department. So the article is a little off on the fact checking.

2. Not dissing Chowan College, but how is it that "random" Arabs from the other side of the world have fingered this little church college as a place to go?

Chowan must have some useful attribute for this guy to have holed up there. Maybe it's somehow a good place to hide (college as "safe house"), or maybe it's close to Fort Bragg or some other military installation in NC.

Good research ptttt.
Chowan appears to have been a two year college
in 1983 and it currently has no engineering department.

Also, their football team was 0 for 10 in 2002.
All in all, times have been better for Chowan. http://www.chowan.edu/athlet/football/2002games/schedule.htm

More info for you:
He went to Chowan College in Murfreesboro, NC, first. Then he transferred to NC A&T in Greensboro, NC, where they do have engineering, I believe. This should clear up the confusion.

My further (politically incorrect) thought is how many ruthless enemies have been hiding in plain sight, right here in rural NC/SC/FL/NY/TX/CA,etc.....
