Though the lead that had prompted their desire to question al-Owhali was only one of hundreds, agents became increasingly convinced — over two weeks of intermittent questioning — that he was a college-educated al-Qaeda operative, well-schooled in counter-interrogation techniques, who was complicit in the atrocity.
