Stardate 20011018.1332 (On Screen): A member of the al Qaeda organization was arrested in Dubai in July, and after the WTC attack he was extradited to France because of his implication in a foiled plot to bomb the US embassy there. He has been testifying in front of a judge in France. He testifies that the Taliban and al Qaeda are actually comingled at this point, and starting in May, any attacks made by al Qaeda would have had to have been approved by Mullah Omar. It's difficult to say whether this should be given any credence; he's already recanted his own confession given in Dubai. Still, it isn't all that farfetched.
