| Khalid Abu-al-Dahab, 37, an Egyptian- born U.S. citizen, says he recruited 10 U.S. citizens into Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization during his 12-year residence in California. Bin Laden personally congratulated the Silicon Valley car salesman and confessed member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. In his confession to an Egyptian military court, Dahab said he and another admitted terrorist from Silicon Valley, former U.S. Army Sgt. Ali Mohamed, had traveled to Afghanistan in the mid-1990s to report to bin Laden. |
