| Captured Al-Qaeda kingpin is case of 'mistaken identity' According to European intelligence experts, however, Abu Faraj al-Libbi was not the terrorists' third in command, as claimed, but a middle-ranker derided by one source as "among the flotsam and jetsam" of the organisation. A former close associate of Bin Laden now living in London laughed: "What I remember of him is he used to make the coffee and do the photocopying." |

| #5 He may have been a middle ranker then, but there've been a lot of promotions since then. The number three spot seems to be the "up or out" position in the very dynamic (dynamitic? sorry) A.Q. organization plan. And for some reason the calibre of candidates just doesn't seem to be what it was in those days. |

| #3 Europe is talking, it's about all they are doing. They have yet to get out of the "law enforcement mode." European intelligence experts what a laugh. What good is intelligence you are too vain and to act on. Enjoy you status as good little dhimmi and STFU. |
