| Okay, so Khadr might have gotten away, but at least someone else might have been taken out. 18 suspected militants were held in the tribal areas operation American and Pakistani security officials are investigating whether one of eight suspected al-Qaeda men killed during a military operation in Pakistan’s tribal region of Waziristan this month is a key terror suspect. Habis Abdullah al-Saoub, also known as "Samarkand", is an American national of Jordanian origin and is wanted by the FBI on charges of aiding or assisting al-Qaeda. The FBI believes he left the United States in October 2001 to join the jihad, or holy war, in Afghanistan. Reward money of up to $5m has been put up for information leading to his arrest. Samarkand should not be difficult to identify - the FBI’s internet site says he has a three- to five-inch vertical scar on his lower back and a piece of flesh from one of his earlobes is missing. |

| #1 and a piece of flesh from one of his earlobes is missing. Did he fight Mike Tyson while in the States? |
