(Sunday Mirror-UK) Euan Stretch- Al-Qaeda's suspected UK chief Abu al-Hindi and four other men were arrested in London on Tuesday. Three of al-Hindi's flatmates in Willesden, North London, were Palestinian asylum seekers. One man had been ordered to train as a suicide bomber with the Islamic terror group Hamas. Another had got through the first interview stage for a job at Heathrow Airport. One of the men is a 19-year-old Palestinian who claims his father is a senior PLO official and friend of its leader Yasser Arafat. The official 9/11 report refers to al-Hindi as Issa al-Britani and claims he was sent to the U.S. in early 2001 to identify key Jewish and economic targets in New York.
