Sixth Buffalo Boy arrested in Bahrain...
2002-09-16
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested a sixth man of Yemeni descent, family and friends said here tonight, in addition to the five young American citizens charged Saturday with providing "material support" for Qaeda terrorists. The new suspect, whose family said he was arrested in the Gulf emirate of Bahrain as he prepared for his arranged marriage there, was identified as Mukhtar al-Bakri, who lived near the other young men in the Yemeni community of this fading steel town. A federal official confirmed that a sixth arrest had been made and said it was expected to be announced Monday.

#1  This time the lucky escape is on the other side. Says Yvonne Ridley, "After several days of interrogation at the Jalalabad Intelligence HQ, I was told that they believed I was an American spy and that was quite unnerving. They also gave me a wedding dress before a cleric asked me if I wanted to convert to Islam and that was scary. All I can say is that some man in Afghanistan has had a pretty lucky escape!"
