Anatomy of an Ageing Bombmaker

From the Associated Press’ crack investigative team, via Yahoo, a great piece of investigative journalism about a captured terrorist who has remained a mystery since 1973. And is about to be released:
In 1973, a young terrorist named Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary entered the United States and quickly began plotting an audacious attack in New York City.
He built three powerful bombs — bombs powerful enough to kill, maim and destroy — and put them in rental cars scattered around town, near Israeli targets.
The plot failed. The explosive devices did not detonate, and Al-Jawary fled the country, escaping prosecution for nearly two decades — until he was convicted of terrorism charges in Brooklyn and sentenced to 30 years in federal penitentiary.
But his time is up.
Read it. This is a definite must read!
