US charges six men with support of al-Qaida network

WHEN federal agents raided a Detroit apartment shortly after September 11, they found three men living in a flop house, with no beds and garbage bags full of clothing.

A search of the apartment resulted in an alarming discovery: a cache of false documents, a day planner detailing planned attacks in Turkey and Jordan and a videotape that appeared to case US landmarks such as Disneyland in California and the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Karim Koubriti, Ahmed Hannan and Farouk Ali-Haimoud were taken into custody and charged with fraud and misuse of visas. At the time, officials said they were really looking for another man whose name appeared on the mailbox.
