According to other reports generated during U.S. interrogations of “Hambali,” an Indonesian terrorist leader captured in Thailand last summer, a Malaysian named Yazid Sufaat, who helped organize and host the Kuala Lumpur terror “summit,” traveled to Afghanistan in June 2001 for a one-month training course. Hambali claimed that, after training, Sufaat worked with him “supporting” a Qaeda “anthrax program” in the Afghan city of Kandahar. After 9/11, Hambali says, he again met Sufaat and had discussions about “continuing the anthrax program in Indonesia.” Though U.S. intelligence officials say there is evidence that Al Qaeda was interested in acquiring chemical, biological and atomic weapons, there is little if any proof that the bin Laden network ever acquired weapons of mass destruction other than poisons like cyanide and ricin. A CIA spokesman had no comment on the interrogations of Mohammed and Hambali.
