Bin Ladin Associate Pleads Guilty in U.S. Court Page 1 of 5

October 21, 2000Bin Ladin Associate Pleads Guilty in U.S.Court

A former U.S. A rm y sergeant pleaded guilty friday to helping to plot the U.S. embassy bombings andparticipating in a terrorist conspiracy against Am ericans.A N Mohamed, 48, pleaded guilty in the Federal District Court in Manhattan to a total of five chargesof conspiracy to murder, kidnap and maim U.S. citizens abroad, and conspiracy to destroy U.S.national defense sites. His testimony directly linked, for the first time, Osama bin Ladin to thebombings of the bomb ings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tan zania.A trusted bin Ladin lieutenantFor most of the past decade, AN Moham ed was in a unique position to further bin Ladin's terroristactivities. A native of Egypt, M oham ed served for three ye ars as a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army,where he taught special forces personnel about Islam and M uslim culture. Before that he served inthe Egyptian Army. Upon his discharge from the army in 1989, he became a naturalized U.S.citizen.Even before his service in the U.S.A rmy, Moha med had become involved in the Egyptian al-Jihadgroupthe same group that was responsible for the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadatin 1981. A l-J ihad jo ined bin Ladin's al-Qaidah network in the early 1990's. Its leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is reported to have sat on the al-Qaidah ruling council, which planned the embassy attacksand is now believed to be in hiding with bin Ladin in AfghanistanMohamed said that he becam e acquainted with bin Ladin's organization around the time al-J ihadjoined al-Qaida. In 1991, he helped bin Laden to relocate his base of operations from Afghanistan toSudan.In 1992, three years after Moham ed became a U.S. citizen, he traveled to Afghanistan to instruct al-Qaidah members in basic explosives an d intelligence training, teaching them how to createoperational cells. In 1994, Mohamed was summoned to Sudan to train bin Ladin's personalbodyguards, and to coordinate with Sudanese intelligence agents who were responsible for binLadin's security outside his compound.Operational methodsMohamad's testimony provided a fascinating glimpse into the methods of bin Ladin's al-Qaidahnetwork. The goal of the group's activit ies was to force the United States and other Westerngovernments out of the Middle EastAccording to Mohamed, in the early 1990's he began working closely with bin Ladin's top aides,including Wadih el-Hage, another of the defendants facing trial in New York, to help bin Ladin tocreate "a presence in Nairobi, Kenya.""A ca r business was set up to create income," Moham ed said. "Wa dih el-Hage created a charityorganization that would help provide al-Qaidah members with identity documents. I personallyhelped el-Hage by making labels in his home in Nairobi. We used various code names to conceal our
