[edit] Which Prison is he in?
A New York Times article "Tape Tied to Al Qaeda Urges More Attacks in Iraq" (Sept 28, 2006) claims that he is in Springfield, Mo, USA.
Which prison is he really in?
[edit] Better sources
This article has few sources its claims. Some links were gone or out of date, and not even from anywhere reliable. Since this is a newsworthy person and there should be plenty of references out there from news organizations, it shouldn't be hard. Wikipedia in general is moving in this direction.
[edit] Not convicted of...
I removed this piece fo text: 'not convicted of conspiring to bomb New York landmarks including the United Nations and FBI offices on October 1, 1995 nor were they convicted of the World Trade Center bombing of 1993, rather they were convicted under the US Civil War era law'. Can someone please demonstate how mentioning things they weren't convicted is notable? Were they tried and found not guilty, or is this just a rhetorical device? Ashmoo 02:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proper transliteration, or lack therof
Jeez, that guy on the photo is the ugliest Santa ever seen! Ain't anybody a cute pic worthy of good ol' Umar "Handsome" abd al-Rahman?? And lest I forget: if nobody moves this article soon, some deeply hurt reindeer will - they got feelings too! Earnestly, speaking the contraction is ok, writing it is colloqial at best, poor from really, even if most English -and Arab- speakers don't know better - pls check Umar (name) and Harun al-Rashid. The wrong -though popular- form should become a redirect to the proper version.
The reader will then profit twofold: how to spell properly and how to become a pious man. --tickle me 15:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Seditious conspiracy? Now that's a trumped up charge if I ever heard one...... just plain rediculous. I'm not saying he's innocent, I'm just saying we need more specific laws to fit specific crimes. Also, does the encyclopedia really need to turn into Fox News? Non-stop terror alerts are exactly what don't need.

[edit] claim associated with him.
I've replaced the out of date Reuters source with an available one that I believe contains the same content. However, it doesn't seem to support the way the source is described, as a description of the 'will' of a person is far from an actual statement from them. Nimmo 11:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
