| US court reveals Libya 'terror plot' |

| via BBC - EFL This story works best when read in conjunction with the other 2 links on this topic - yielding a nice well-rounded story. A novella in 3 parts. Saturday, 31 July, 2004, 08:41 GMT 09:41 UK A plea bargain in a US court has revealed details of an alleged Libyan plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's de facto leader Crown Prince Abdullah. Leading US Muslim activist Abdurahman Alamoudi admitted taking part in the plot, as he pleaded guilty to three charges of illegal dealings with Libya. US Attorney General John Ashcroft said the case has provided "critical intelligence" in the war on terror. Libya has denied plotting to assassinate the Crown Prince. The US Justice Department described an elaborate plot, in which Mr Alamoudi - a founder of the American Muslim Council and the American Muslim Foundation - served as a go-between between top Libyan officials and Saudi dissidents. ...more... Plot thickens up nicely. Alamoudi clearly implicates the AMC and AMF orgs, heh. Thanx! |

| #1 As Instapundit says, Grover Norquist is loking bad. It will be interesting to see when this one stops unwinding. Somehow I suspect the truth of this era will make Le Carre seem naive. Money is a much more effective motivator than ideology, as the KGB knew. They just didn't have as much as the Arabs do. |
