9/11 attack: Pak Army finds clues in Waziristan

Pakistan Army says it has found the passport of a man linked to two hijackers involved in the 9/11 attacks in the US. The passport of Said Bahaji, a German of Moroccan origin, was among weapons, documents and jihadi literature seized by troops in the conflict zone in South Waziristan. The army showed the document to a group of reporters during a trip to the area. Said Bahaji is suspected to be a member of the Hamburg cell which planned the 2001 attacks. He is believed to have been a close associate of Mohammad Atta, the leader of the hijackers and fled Germany shortly before the attacks. Reports say if the document is authentic, this will be the first time a direct link can be established between the Taliban in South Waziristan and a suspect in the 9/11 attacks.
