| | 'Informers' point the finger at bin Laden |
 | | Two "informers" are now helping the Americans, Muhammad Sadiq Howaida, 33, a Palestinian who built the Tanzanian embassy bomb, and Wali Khan Amin Shah, convicted in September 1996 with World Trade Centre bomber Ramzi Yousef, a close friend, of a plot to blow up American airliners in the Philippines the year before. |
 | | Shah's family emigrated from the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan in 1950 to Saudi Arabia, where he met bin Laden, who was born into - and later disowned by - a wealthy Muslim family. |
 | | Shah, who lost two fingers in a battle in Afghanistan, was mainly involved in gun-running for bin Laden, according to American intelligence. |
