Ahmad Siddiqui, en afghan frånHamburg med tyskt pass, var den
som avslöjade terrorplanerna som
nu skakar Europa.
Siddiqui rekryterades i den nu stängda
al-Taibamoskéen på Steindamm 103 i
Hamburg. Sändes på terroristutbildning
i Waziristan i Pakistan och sedan till en
talibangrupp i Afghanistan. I juli tillfånga-
togs han av amerikanska trupper.

Siddiqui uppges ha nära band till minst
fyra Al Qaedamedlemmar från
Hamburgcellen.
"Siddiqui attended the same mosque
as the Hamburg cell. In August of this
year, the Taiba mosque, which was
formerly known as the Al Quds mosque,
was closed down just weeks after
Siddiqui was detained in Afghanistan.
The imam of the Taiba mosque was a S
yrian-German named Mamoun Darkazanli,
who is a longtime al Qaeda operative and
was closely affiliated with the Hamburg cell."

"Ahmad Siddiqui, who was captured in
Afghanistan in July, has told his inter-
rogators that he met with Said Bahaji
after joining al Qaeda's ranks in Pakistan,
Der Spiegel reported on Saturday.
Siddiqui also told interrogators that
Osama bin Laden had ordered and
financed the Mumbai-like terror plot
in Europe.
Bahaji is wanted by Western authorities
for his involvement in the 9/11 plot and
has been on the lam for years.
In October 2009, CNN reported that the
Pakistani military had recovered a passport
bearing Bahaji's name and photo after
taking control of a terror camp in the village
of Sherwangi in South Waziristan. The
passport contained a Pakistani visa
showing that Bahaji "entered Pakistan
on September 4, 2001."
Some members of the Hamburg cell fled
Germany shortly before the 9/11 attacks
in order to avoid arrest after the fact.
Today, Bahaji is both a senior propagandist
within al Qaeda and also involved in the
organization's operations."
