This story may very well be true; but the first thing that comes to mind is that someone is attempting to undermine the cooperation between the US and Qatar to stop the attack on Iraq. Sounds like they want to cause enough of a rift to get rid of the bases.

One other note:

Mohammed went to the Czech Republic where he began to live under the alias "Mustaf Nasir." Mohammed also traveled to Germany to meet bin Laden associates, Baer said

Note the veiled reference to the anthrax.

I've seen the story about Baer, Qatar, and the two al Qaeda guys there before. I think it may be in Baer's book.
