Germans Grab Syrian Linked to Al-Qaeda
(AP/Washington Post) German authorities last week arrested a Syrian German businessman who is wanted by Spain on charges he helped fund the al-Qaeda network for years and who appeared in a wedding video at a mosque with some of the Sept. 11 hijackers. Spanish authorities allege that Mamoun Darkazanli, 46, was "one of the key figures of the al-Qaeda terror network" and "the permanent contact person and assistant of Osama bin Laden in Germany." His Hamburg-based trading company has been labeled a front for terrorism by the U.S. government.
