"The passport has an entry stamp of September 4, 2001," said an official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "This shows that this terrorist came to Pakistan days before the attacks in the United States." "He might have travelled from here to Afghanistan to inform al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden about the plan and its execution time," the official added.
Bahaji, a Moroccan-German, lived with Mohammed Atta, who led the four hijacking teams responsible for carrying out the deadly attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. Bahaji is believed to have been the internet expert of the cell.
