Karachi

You get Abu Zubaydah, the first big arrest.

You get him in Karachi, I believe it was.

I think he was-

He was arrested in Lahore.

In the section of the movie devoted to the release of Satanic Verses and the street protests and the effigy burnings, this kind of insane reaction in London, but also in Europe.

You know, Karachi and in New York and people threatening your life.

And it also, I mean, I think this is a, I don't want to kind of diminish the horrific kind of impact of the violence, but it's actually hard to imagine people getting that upset about a book in the year 2026.

Right.

He knew we'd be on the lookout for Arab men.

And so he had a cell in Karachi that was preparing to carry out the second wave.

And that was stopped because we captured KSM.

We interviewed him and got him to tell us his plans and wrapped up that cell, wrapped up the other terrorists.

Hi, everybody.

This is Madiha from Pathfinder speaking to you from Karachi, Pakistan again today.

I'm really excited.

This conversation is squarely focused on how to position menstrual health equity as a core pillar of women, economic empowerment, climate justice and fundamental human rights.

He was going to attack the world.

trade center in new york in the pentagon in washington and he was going to blow up the library do the same thing to the library tower in los angeles and osama bin laden forced him to scale it back because he thought it was too ambitious and would get unraveled but he had recruited a cell of terrorists he knew we'd be looking for arab men so he recruited terrorists from jamal islamia southeast asian terrorist group and he had a cell in karachi it included trained pilots that was ready to deploy to carry out the second wave.

And it was because he was interrogated, we captured the leaders of that cell and took them off.

And there were a good half-dozen plots that were in action, blowing up our Marine camp in Djibouti, blowing up our consulate in Karachi.

He was someone who got in over his head on a real estate deal.

He had like a seaside Karachi, you know, resort hotel, you know, condo thing.

And he needed 200,000 euros quick.

And Al-Qaeda is like, hey, you know, maybe we invest in that.

So it's expensive, inexpensive to feed and house and maintain the health of all these detainees.

And they were aging, too.

Saifullah Karachi, I think he finally was released in the 70s.

And I think Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is now 61.

Bayoumi had been employed by Hamid al-Rashid of the Saudi Arabian government.

In a raid on an Al-Qaeda safe house in Karachi, Pakistan, a photo was found of Saud Al Rashid Hamid's son.

It's circumstantial, but it's still suspicious.

The FBI issued a report on Bayoumi in 1998 because he had been in contact with several FBI suspects.

I came to Tehran.

I was in Tehran for 48 hours because I went to Pakistan embassy, no, to India embassy to take visa to come to India via Zahra and Land Roads, Balochistan, Quetta, Karachi.

So at Tehran, a sharp voice came to my ear.

Before you take these eatables, to India, asked Baba's permission.

And so that's really what the move was about.

So When I was at the age of seven, we moved from Karachi, Pakistan to Toronto, Canada.

And that's really where I truly grew up.

I went to school, did all my schooling in Toronto, went to college out there and started my career.
