A bungling bomber who made history only because he failed to set his shoes alight - or the most senior Al Qaeda operative in custody anywhere in the world? Journalist Daniel Pearl is believed to have met his death following the trail of the elusive man who became known as the shoe-bomber. Since his dramatic arrest at Boston Airport, Reid has had only ONE contact with the world of the media. In a six-page handwritten letter to Noel Young he declared that he had no regrets over trying to bring down a plane with 197 people on board." I make no apologies for my activities nor those of my associates ", he said - a statement that the US prosecutors later quoted arguing for the maximum jail sentence: life that really means life. |
