   1            (Trial resumed)

   2            (Jury not present)

   3            THE COURT:  Are there any matters which require the

   4   court's attention prior to the entry of the jury?

   5            MR. SCHMIDT:  Just one issue while we are here now I

   6   guess I can raise so we don't delay later.

   7            THE COURT:  Yes.

   8            MR. SCHMIDT:  The government has given me some

   9   documents relating to the computer expert.  I spoke to the

  10   computer expert.  He wanted to get them done today because he

  11   has been on vacation.  I received a cover document relating to

  12   a particular document coming out of the computer --

  13            THE COURT:  Can we have silence in the courtroom,

  14   please.

  15            MR. SCHMIDT:  I received the document itself that was

  16   taken out of the computer but it was not identified in the

  17   manner it was previously identified, by Bates numbers.  The

  18   items that are in Arabic, I have to figure out which document

  19   it is and locate the document before I can even begin to

  20   examine this witness, a delay that shouldn't be necessary, and

  21   I have to wait for Mr. Karas to identify which particular

  22   document it is.  I want to note that if there is a delay in

  23   the next witness it is a result of the unfortunate manner in

  24   which the documents have been marked, or not marked.

  25            MR. FITZGERALD:  I would rather have Mr. Karas


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1638

   1   address it.  Mr. Schmidt wants creation dates of the

   2   documents.  The expert has been on vacation and sitting in our

   3   office through the night to translate the Arabic entries and

   4   get things to Mr. Schmidt as soon as possible.  Mr. Karas is

   5   dealing with those issues and we will try and expedite it.  It

   6   is not for lack of effort.

   7            THE COURT:  It seems there is nothing I can do about

   8   it.  If that occasions a request for some deferral of

   9   examination or continuance, I will deal with it.

  10            We are awaiting the defendants.  The witness may

  11   resume the stand.

  12            MR. FITZGERALD:  There is one item I should make sure

  13   while counsel for Odeh and Mr. Schmidt are here.  We agreed to

  14   do Bruton redactions regarding the Odeh statement.  The

  15   written statement, we actually took out more than we agreed to

  16   do.  The only thing I want to make sure --

  17            THE COURT:  May we please have quiet in the

  18   courtroom.

  19            MR. FITZGERALD:  The defendant Odeh stated that he

  20   was aware that the home of Wadih El Hage was searched and that

  21   the name of the person who was present was searched, which was

  22   not Mr. El Hage.  What I simply seek to elicit from Agent

  23   Anticev was that Odeh was aware that a house was searched in

  24   Nairobi and the person present was Mohamed Karama.

  25            MR. SCHMIDT:  I have no objection to that.

   1            MR. FITZGERALD:  And I will lead in that area to make

   2   sure.

   3            MR. SCHMIDT:  And I will try not to object.

   4            THE COURT:  I was supposed to be advised this morning

   5   whether there was any objection to the in limine application

   6   made by the government with respect to the examination of

   7   Ambassador Bushnell.  Does anybody quarrel with the

   8   government's position on that matter?

   9            Silence is acquiescence.  Very well then.

  10            MR. RICCO:  Your Honor, we need to see you at

  11   sometime during the morning break.  It's not urgent.

  12    JOHN MICHAEL ANTICEV, resumed.

  13            (Jury present)

  14            THE COURT:  Good morning.

  15            JURORS:  Good morning.

  16            THE COURT:  Agent Anticev, the court reminds you you

  17   are still under oath.

  18            Mr. Fitzgerald, you may continue.

  19            MR. FITZGERALD:  Thank you, Judge.

   1   DIRECT EXAMINATION (Continued)

   2   BY MR. FITZGERALD:

   3   Q.  Good morning, Agent Anticev.

   4   A.  Good morning.

   5   Q.  When we broke yesterday, you described what Odeh told you

   6   about his understanding of the bayat he gave.  Did Odeh tell

   7   you when it was he made a pledge of bayat?

   8   A.  I believe it was in March of '92.

   9   Q.  Did he indicate where he did that?

  10   A.  I believe in Peshawar.

  11   Q.  In Peshawar, Pakistan?

  12   A.  Yes.

  13   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what he did after he made the pledge of

  14   bayat?

  15   A.  After he took the pledge to Al Qaeda, he went back to the

  16   Jihad Wal camp for just a couple days to get reassigned, and

  17   then from there he went back to the Farouq camp.  Because he

  18   had medical training he went back there to be a medic for a

  19   couple of months.

  20   Q.  Do you recall approximately what months it was that he

  21   would have begun serving as a medic in the Farouq camp?

  22   A.  April, May '92.

  23   Q.  Did he indicate what he did after he served as a medic at

  24   the Farouq camp?

  25   A.  After the Farouq camp, he went on to another training

                                                                1641

   1   camp, called the Sadeek camp, where he took a course in

   2   explosives.

   3   Q.  Did he indicate what he learned during the course in

   4   explosives?

   5   A.  He learned the more complicated aspects of explosives.  He

   6   had a trainer there, Abu Ubaidah, that taught him mathematical

   7   formulas, the type of explosives to use, how much explosives

   8   would be needed to do a certain job.  And I believe he was

   9   also at the camp with another instructor, was somebody named

  10   Abdel Rahman, and another student with him was Ahmed the

  11   Egyptian.

  12   Q.  Did he indicate the Abu Ubaidah who was his trainer, was

  13   that the same person who was Abu Ubaidah al Banshiri, or a

  14   different Abu Ubaidah?

  15   A.  It's a different Abu Ubaidah.

  16   Q.  Did he indicate what he did after he took this course in

  17   explosives at the Sadeek camp?

  18   A.  Yes.  I believe the course lasted 45 days, and then after

  19   that he went to get some medical treatment for problems he was

  20   having.

  21   Q.  Did he indicate where he went to get the medical

  22   treatment?

  23   A.  He did.  I forget where he went, but I think he recovered

  24   in Peshawar.

  25   Q.  Did he indicate what he did after he recovered from the


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1642
       12skbin1
                              Anticev - direct

   1   medical treatment?

   2   A.  After he recovered from the medical treatment he went back

   3   to the Bait al Ansar, that house of support where he

   4   originally came to when he came to Peshawar, to look for his

   5   passport that he had left there and some personal items, and

   6   that house of support was closed because the war in

   7   Afghanistan was winding down, and he had to go search for his

   8   documents so he wound up going to a different house of

   9   support.

  10   Q.  Did he tell you what happened when he went to the other

  11   house looking for his documents?

  12   A.  Yes.  The other house, I think, was called Bait al

  13   Umameen.  When he went there, he was found by one of his

  14   instructors, Abu Thomama.  And then Abu Thomama told him that

  15   he had to go see an important Al Qaeda leader named Adel.

  16   Q.  Did he go see this person?  Did Odeh tell you that he went

  17   to see this person that Abu Ubaidah told him to go see?

  18   A.  Yes.

  19   Q.  Do you know what Adel's full name was?

  20   A.  Saif al Adel.

  21   Q.  What happened when he went to see Saif al Adel?

  22   A.  Saif al Adel told him that the war in Afghanistan was

  23   winding down and that they were going to move the jihad to

  24   other parts of the world, and he wanted him to go to Somalia

  25   via Kenya.

   1   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what he did after this conversation?

   2   Let me strike that.

   3            Did Saif al Adel tell Odeh where those instructions

   4   were coming from?

   5   A.  Yes, he told him they were coming from Usama Bin Laden.

   6   Q.  Did Odeh tell you what he did after he received those

   7   instructions?

   8   A.  Yes.  Later on he went by plane from Pakistan to Nairobi.

   9   Q.  Did he tell you approximately what month and what year it

  10   was that he went from Pakistan to Nairobi?

  11   A.  March of '93.

  12   Q.  Did he indicate how long he stayed in Nairobi?

  13   A.  He said he stayed in Nairobi for two weeks, and when he

  14   got there the first night he stayed at the Ambassador Hotel,

  15   and then he spent the next two weeks -- the rest of the two

  16   weeks with another Al Qaeda member.

  17   Q.  Do you remember the name of the Al Qaeda member that he

  18   spent the two weeks with?

  19   A.  It escapes me now but I believe he was from Oman.

  20   Q.  What did Odeh tell you he did after those two weeks in

  21   Nairobi?

  22   A.  He tried -- so he was ordered to go to Somalia, so he had

  23   to try to get to Somalia, but he didn't have the proper

  24   documents to get to Somalia.  So he was able to find his way

  25   on to a small airplane that's used in that region to

   1   smuggle -- it's a mild narcotic that the local people chew

   2   called khat, or khat, and he was able to hitch a ride on that

   3   plane to the Kenyan/Somali border, but he remained on the

   4   Kenyan side of the border.

   5   Q.  Did Odeh tell you what happened when he got to that part

   6   of Kenya near the Somali border?

   7   A.  He was told to wait for somebody to come and pick him up

   8   there.

   9   Q.  Did he indicate whether somebody ever came and picked him

  10   up?

  11   A.  Yes, he was picked up and brought across the border into

  12   the Somalia to the town of Belahawa.

  13   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what he did in Somalia?

  14   A.  His job in Somalia was to train one of the tribes that was

  15   in Somalia.  It was one of 17 tribes, and they picked one

  16   particular tribe at that time called the Um Rehan tribe, to

  17   give training and other additional support such as food and

  18   medical treatments.

  19   Q.  For the Um Rehan tribe, did Odeh indicate what type of

  20   training he provided to them?

  21   A.  He provided them training in small arms and medical

  22   treatments.

  23   Q.  Did Odeh indicate why it was that that tribe, the Um Rehan

  24   tribe, was picked to receive this training?

  25   A.  That was picked by Bin Laden's group because it had the

   1   closest philosophical ties to Al Qaeda.

   2   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether the Um Rehan tribe had links to

   3   any other group?

   4   A.  Yes, it had links to another group called Ittihad

   5   Islamiya, which I think is Islamic Unity, translation.

   6   Q.  Did Odeh indicate how long he spent in that area training

   7   people with the Um Rehan tribe?

   8   A.  Approximately seven months.

   9   Q.  Did he tell you how far the area he was located in was

  10   from the area of Somalia, the city in Somalia called

  11   Mogadishu?

  12   A.  He said it was 600 kilometers.

  13   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what it was his understanding was of the

  14   attitude of the tribes toward United Nations presence in

  15   Somalia?

  16   A.  Yes.  He said that the tribes were very upset that the UN

  17   was in that area.  They felt that they were controlling the

  18   area.  They were afraid that if they accepted aid from the

  19   United Nations, that they would have to give up their arms in

  20   exchange for this aid.

  21   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what the position of Al Qaeda was

  22   regarding United Nations and United States troops being in

  23   Somalia?

  24   A.  The position of Al Qaeda regarding unarmed civilian aid

  25   workers just providing aid, that it was OK, but as far as

   1   armed US troops being in Somalia, Al Qaeda thought that this

   2   was not good, that it was wrong, and they considered it

   3   colonization.

   4   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not Al Qaeda would support

   5   attacks on civilian workers from the UN in Somalia?

   6   A.  He stated that they wouldn't support attacks on civilian

   7   workers but would support attacks on soldiers.

   8   Q.  During the time that he was in that area, did Odeh

   9   indicate whether or not he received any training himself?

  10   A.  Yes.  While they were there, him and the other trainers

  11   brushed up on their own skills in fighting.

  12   Q.  Did Odeh discuss a person by the name of Abu Hafs?

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  What did Odeh tell you about Abu Hafs?

  15   A.  He said while he was there an individual, Abu Hafs, who he

  16   describes as a major leader in Al Qaeda, who served with Bin

  17   Laden from the very beginning and has been with him since the

  18   early times in Afghanistan, was coming down from Mogadishu,

  19   and he had four other trainers with him.

  20   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what nationality Abu Hafs was?

  21   A.  Egyptian.

   1   told you were with Abu Hafs in Somalia?

   2   A.  Yes.  One person was named Khalid.  He is also known as

   3   Abu Jihad and also known as Mustafa.  And the second person

   4   was a person named Shuaib, who was also known as Abu Islam and

   5   also known as Ahmed the Egyptian.  I think the third person

   6   was Irkima, and the fourth person was another person, I

   7   believe from either Oman or Morocco.

   8   Q.  Did Odeh indicate to you what his understanding was of why

   9   Abu Hafs was in Somalia, what he was doing there or where he

  10   was coming from?

  11   A.  Abu Hafs was sent to Somalia by Usama Bin Laden to not

   3   about the background of Fahad?

   4   A.  He said that Fahad was a young guy who was born in Kenya.

   1   A.  Than Odeh did.

   2   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not he liked spending time

   3   with Fahad?

   4   A.  The gist of what he said about Fahad is that he really

   5   didn't trust him all that much.  He thought that Fahad knew

   6   too many things about that little cell.  He complained that

   7   Fahad knew all the guys in that cell, all their nicknames, and

   8   he didn't think that was a good idea, that he would know so

   9   much about everybody.

  11   Fahad brought him any material?

  15   brought him the TNT and the detonator?

   8   of explosives there and readily available.

   9   Q.  What if anything did Odeh tell you about what would happen

  10   to the information that Fahad could get TNT from Tanzania?

  11   A.  Odeh stated that if Fahad had developed a source of

  12   explosives that was easy to get, that that should be reported

  13   back to the hierarchy at Al Qaeda.

  14   Q.  Did he indicate whether or not Fahad ever traveled to

  15   Afghanistan?

  16   A.  Yes, he spent a year in Afghanistan.

  17   Q.  Let me just approach you with page 19 of Government's

  18   Exhibit 6.  I will ask you if reading that document refreshes

  19   your recollection as to the time Odeh indicated that Fahad

  20   showed him the TNT?

  21   A.  On this document it says that --

   1   an enemy and if it was a wise thing to do since the United

   2   States was so powerful and some -- they also discussed that

   3   some leadership in al Qaeda weren't really sure if that was a

   4   good thing to do, but they all wound up supporting Bin Laden

   5   in doing what he wanted to do.

   6   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether he saw or received any further

   7   messages from Saleh after that point?

   8   A.  I believe about three months before August, as he

   9   describes it, he said that Mustafa came to see him again three

  10   months before August with another message about hurry up, get

  11   your documents in order, there's an emergency situation and

  12   that we have to start getting ready to travel.

  14   saw Ahmed the Egyptian, or Shuaib?

  15   A.  Yes.  Approximately -- this is the way he describes it --

  16   40 days before they travel, meaning August 6th, so 40 days

  17   before August 6, Ahmed the Egyptian came to see him in Witu in

  18   his home and he brought with him two messages.

  19            One message was that an individual named Sheik

  20   Hassan, who was a leader of a Somali tribe, and that Sheik

  21   Hassan wants to go see Usama Bin Laden and that one of the

  22   three, Odeh, Ahmed the Egyptian, and/or, I should say, or

  23   Mustafa had to actually escort him from Somalia to

  24   Afghanistan.

  25            And the second message was that they had received

   1   other messages from Bin Laden that Bin Laden was able to unite

   2   other Islamic terrorist groups to join him in his fight

   3   against the United States and that they would all get together

   4   and make a front against the United States.

   5   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether he had any discussions during

   6   this time with Mustafa or Saleh about whether or not it was

   7   appropriate to do operations in Kenya?

   8   A.  Yes.  He had that type of conversation with both of them

   9   and Saleh stated, he is the Kenyan conciliator, he said that

  10   he would like to do an operation against the United States in

  11   Kenya because he did not like Kenya or Kenyans.  And Mustafa

  12   had the opposite view.  He said he wouldn't want to do an

  13   operation in Kenya because he liked Kenya and the Kenyan

  14   people.

  15   Q.  Did Odeh indicate to you which mind-set he shared?

  16   A.  I'm sorry?

  17   Q.  Did Odeh say which view he shared?

  18   A.  Yes.  Odeh, he did not want to do an operation in Kenya.

  19   He liked it there and he liked the people.

   2   We said would you partake in an action against U.S. troops in

   3   Saudi Arabia, and he stated that he would if it was

   4   Islamically correct.  And he would check before he would do

   5   so, he would check with a religious authority to see if it was

   6   okay because, he said, because I do not follow blindly like a

   7   cat.  And the second situation was, would you attack a U.S.

   8   building or installation in Kenya if only Americans were

   9   killed and no Kenyans were killed, and he said that he would

  10   not because he likes Kenya.

  11            The third situation was, would you attack a U.S.

  12   installation or building outside of Kenya if no civilians were

  13   killed, and he said, well, if it was Islamically correct, and

  15   ordered by Bin Laden, that he would have no choice but to

  16   partake in it.

   2   then he told Saleh, well, Fahad's not here, he's in Tanzania.

   3            And so Saleh didn't give him any other direction so

   4   Odeh went to see his friend, his friend Sheik Bahamad, for

   5   some money and he told Sheik Bahamad that he needed 6500

   6   shillings, which Sheik Bahamad gave him.  And Odeh told Sheik

   7   Bahamad, don't worry, Fahad will pay you back.

   8            And Sheik Bahamad is also a businessman.  He owns a

   9   small trucking company in Mombasa.

  11   what his nationality was?

  12   A.  Yes, he did, but I just can't recall right now.

  14   Sheik Bahamad Odeh's friend or Fahad's friend?

  15   A.  Both.

  16   Q.  Did Saleh work with -- who worked in the trucking business

  17   with Sheik Bahamad?

  18   A.  Fahad used to work as a driver for him.

  19   Q.  Did there come a time when Odeh told you during the

  20   interviews that he saw Saleh again in Kenya after -- let me

  21   strike that.

  22            You mentioned before that there was a conversation

  23   where somebody had to bring Sheik Hassan over to Afghanistan,

  24   whether it be Odeh, Mustafa, or Ahmed the Egyptian?

  25   A.  Yes.

   1   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not Sheik Hassan ever --

   2   first, whether he himself, Odeh, took Sheik Hassan to

   3   Afghanistan?

   4   A.  He didn't.

   5   Q.  And did Odeh indicate whether Sheik Hassan ever went to

   6   Afghanistan and came back?

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  What, if anything, did he tell you about what happened

   9   when Sheik Hassan returned from Afghanistan?

  10   A.  Okay.  July, late July, July 30th or 31st, seven days

  11   before the bombing, Odeh finds Sheik Hassan in Mombasa.  Sheik

  12   Hassan has with him cassette tapes, a letter, and some

  13   documents from the Saudi opposition in London.  And he gives

  14   these documents and tapes and letter to Odeh to deliver to

  15   Saleh, and he does.  And Saleh reads the letter and he just

  16   says, this is nothing new.

  17   Q.  Can you describe what Odeh told you about what happened

  18   during the week of August 1st through August 7th, 1998?  If

  19   you could try to go day-by-day.  Let's focus on August 1st.

  20   A.  Okay, first of all, on -- everybody is starting to really

  21   get into a mode that, you know, we have to start traveling and

  22   get out real quick.  On August 1st, first of all, the first

  23   three cell leaders leave, okay.  On August 1st, Ahmed the

  24   Egyptian, Mustafa, and Sheik Bahamad leave for Afghanistan on

  25   that day.  Odeh is still in Mombasa and he is directed to

                                                                1674

   1   try -- he has to find Saleh, but he keeps missing him.

   2            Finally, he runs into Saleh with Fahad and Saleh is

   3   extremely upset.  He's even like, as Odeh says, he was yelling

   4   at me in the middle of the street, we have to get out of here,

   5   it's an emergency, we got to get out of here, you have to be

   6   out of here by the 6th and you have to get your documents.

   7   And then Odeh told Saleh that, I don't have my passport, and

   8   Saleh said, well, I have a passport for you and we'll meet

   9   tonight at your brother-in-law's house, Omar.

  10            And so that night, Fahad and Saleh do come to Omar's

  11   house and they give Odeh a -- I believe it's a Yemeni

  12   passport, it's expired, and it has somebody else's picture on

  13   it.  And they tell him that tomorrow, on the 2nd, you better

  14   get that stuff organized.  Go to immigration authorities and

  15   get a picture and get that passport up to date.

  16   Q.  Now, you mentioned that Odeh was told that he had to get

  17   out of Kenya by the 6th.  Is that a reference to the 6th of

  18   August?

  19   A.  Yes.

  20   Q.  And did Odeh indicate whether or not in his prior

  21   experience in al Qaeda he had received urgent orders like that

  22   to leave places by a certain date?

  23   A.  Well, he saw it, he saw it coming, but regarding the 1st,

  24   he stated that he had never seen anything so urgent before.

  25   Q.  And on August 1st, you mentioned that Saleh told him to

                                                                1675

   1   meet at Odeh's brother-in-law's house that evening, correct?

   2   A.  Correct.

   3   Q.  And when he met at the brother-in-law's house that

   4   evening, did Odeh indicate whether he had any conversation

   5   one-on-one with Saleh?

   6   A.  On the 1st?

   7   Q.  On the 1st.

   8   A.  Yes.

   9   Q.  What did he say happened during that conversation?

  10   A.  That's when Saleh told him that he had to, that the other

  11   people were traveling today and that he had to get his affairs

  12   in order and leave.

  13   Q.  And on the 1st of August did anyone give Odeh any money?

  14   A.  On the 1st of August, yes.  Saleh had given Mustafa a

  15   thousand dollars to give to Odeh, and I guess before Mustafa

  16   left on the 1st he got the thousand dollars from Mustafa and

  17   that evening, also, he returned 400 of the thousand, I

  18   believe, back to Saleh.

  19   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not Mustafa told him any

  20   reason why Mustafa and the two other people he was with had to

  21   leave, leave Kenya?

  22   A.  He said that they were ordered to leave.

  23   Q.  Did he indicate, did Odeh indicate whether or not Mustafa

  24   told him what, what it was that was to happen?

  25   A.  Mustafa told him that he felt something big was going to

   1   happen real soon.

   2   Q.  During the course of your interviews with Mr. Odeh, did he

   3   indicate whether or not Saleh was in contact with the people

   4   in Afghanistan, and if so, how?

   5   A.  He had been in contact with people in Afghanistan all

   6   along, but I'm not quite sure if you mean on the 1st.

   7   Q.  No, just generally did he indicate whether Saleh was in

   8   contact?

   9   A.  Oh, yes, he was the point of contact for the al Qaeda

  10   group.  He was -- actually, Odeh stated that Saleh was the

  11   only one in the group that was allowed to make overseas phone

  12   calls on behalf of al Qaeda.

  13   Q.  Directing your attention to August 2, did Odeh tell you

  14   what happened on August 2nd?

  15   A.  Well, August 2nd was a Sunday and he was just ordered by

  16   Saleh to get all his affairs in order and get his passport

  17   fixed and a picture and all that stuff, but since it was

  18   Sunday, Odeh decided to go visit his wife's aunt in Malindi to

  19   settle up on some furniture business.  And that's where he

  20   went.

  21            And while he was there, he got an angry, a real angry

  22   phone call from Fahad saying, where are you?  What are you

  23   doing?  And he said, Saleh wants to see you right away, and

  24   they made an arrangement to meet because Saleh was leaving

  25   that day on the 1st for Nairobi.  So Odeh took a bus from

                                                                1677

   1   Malindi back to Nairobi -- to Mombasa to try to hook up with

   2   Saleh at the bus station.  But he didn't arrive there until 9

   3   and he missed -- I guess Saleh didn't wait for him, he left.

   4   So then after that, he went back to his brother-in-law's to

   5   sleep.

   6   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not he understood whether the

   7   immigration office was open on Sunday?

   8   A.  It was closed on Sunday.

   9   Q.  What happened?  What did Odeh tell you happened on August

  10   the 3rd, Monday?

  11   A.  On the 3rd, on Monday, he had slept at Omar's house in

  12   Mombasa that night, and that morning, early, around 7:30,

  13   Fahad came to pick him up.  And that was the day they had to

  14   get all these things done.  So he picks him up and they go to

  15   the immigration office to start to work on the passports.

  16            Then Odeh tells Fahad, why don't you do it for me, I

  17   really have to get back to my brother-in-law, Omar, because I

  18   have to make arrangements for my wife and child to live with

  19   him because I'm leaving.  So he did that.  So I guess Fahad

  20   took care of the documents, and he later meets up with Fahad

  21   and then they go to a thing called Eagle Travel Agency to buy

  22   their airline tickets for, from Nairobi to Karachi.

  23   Q.  And did Odeh indicate what happened after the tickets were

  24   purchased at the Eagle Travel Agency, what Odeh and Fahad did

  25   that night, the that rest of the day?

   1   A.  Well, after they purchased the tickets Fahad told Odeh,

   2   gave him instructions as for Saleh that Odeh had to travel

   3   that day and meet the people who were leaving in Nairobi, and

   4   he gave him the address of the Hilltop, Hilltop Hotel in

   5   Nairobi.  He gave that address to Odeh, told him to meet Saleh

   6   at the Hilltop Hotel.

   7   Q.  And did Odeh tell you what it was that Fahad told Odeh he

   8   was going to do that day?

   9   A.  He said he had something else to do and he will be

  10   traveling later.

  11   Q.  Did Odeh tell you during the interviews what then happened

  12   after Fahad told him to go to the Hilltop Hotel and meet

  13   Saleh?

  14   A.  Okay, now we're getting into the evening of the 3rd, so

  15   Odeh took a bus that travels all night from Mombasa to

  16   Nairobi.  And he was on the bus all night alone, he says, and

  17   arrived in Nairobi at 7:30 a.m. the following day, the 4th.

  18   Q.  And did Odeh indicate to you what happened on the 4th once

  19   he arrived in Nairobi?

  20   A.  Well, he arrived at 7:30 in the morning and he said he was

  21   very tired.  He checked into the hotel.  He used that passport

  22   given to him by Saleh with the fake name to register, and then

  23   he went for a nap.  And around noon he said that he woke up

  24   and ran into Saleh and Harun.  They were leaving, leaving the

  25   hotel.

   1            When Saleh saw him, Saleh gave him a razor and a pair

   2   of pants and told him to shave his beard, and he continued on

   3   to Saleh's room and in Saleh's room was Abdel Rahman, the same

   4   Abdel Rahman that was his trainer in explosives in the Sadeek

   5   Camp.

   6   Q.  I'm going to stop you there a moment.  When you said that

   7   Odeh told you he checked into the Hilltop Hotel and took a

   8   nap, did he tell you what room he stayed in in the Hilltop

   9   Hotel?

  10   A.  102B.

  11   Q.  And you indicated that when he saw Saleh and Harun, Saleh

  12   had given him a razor.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not he

  13   ever did shave the beard?

  14   A.  Yes, he says he shaved it the following day.

  15   Q.  And did Odeh tell you why he shaved his beard?

  16   A.  He shaved it so he would conceal himself being a Muslim

  17   while traveling.

  18   Q.  And you mentioned that he saw Saleh and Harun and Saleh

  19   and Harun left and he went to Saleh's room, correct?

  20   A.  Yes.

  21   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not Saleh and Harun told him

  22   anything about what they were going to do at that point?

  23   A.  They said they were going out to do a small job.

  24   Q.  And did Odeh indicate to you what he understood "a small

  25   job" to refer to?

   1   A.  Well, he knew it was not shopping or something like that,

   2   he knew it was to do some al Qaeda work.

   3   Q.  And when he got to the room where Saleh was, did he

   4   indicate what room number that was?

   5   A.  107A, I believe.

   6   Q.  And you mentioned that he, when he got there he saw Abdel

   7   Rahman, who he knew as the explosives trainer from the past.

   8            Did he indicate whether or not he knew Abdel Rahman

   9   would be in that room when he got there?

  10   A.  He didn't know he was going to be in that room.  He was

  11   actually -- it's hard to describe.  He said, I was surprised

  12   to see him, but not shocked.  You know, it was like, it

  13   figures you're here, but he wasn't expecting to see him and he

  14   also stated that it made sense, this was al Qaeda business and

  15   all the al Qaeda people were traveling, so it didn't shock him

  16   to see Abdel Rahman at the hotel.

  17   Q.  Did Odeh tell you whether he learned how long Abdel Rahman

  18   had been at the Hilltop Hotel?

  19   A.  Yes, he stated that he knew that Abdel Rahman -- I guess

  20   he found out later that Abdel Rahman was staying at the

  21   Hilltop Hotel for the past two months.

  22   Q.  And you mentioned that Harun and Saleh left to go do a

  23   small job.  Did Odeh indicate whether he ever saw Harun and

  24   Saleh return?

  25   A.  Yes, he stated they returned I think about 4:00 p.m.

   2   whether he knew what kind of vehicle Harun had?

   3   A.  I think it was a white pickup truck, Toyota.

   4   Q.  And sticking with August 4th for the moment, did Odeh

   5   indicate what happened with the various people, Saleh, Harun,

   6   Abdel Rahman, and he did on the evening of August 4th?

   7   A.  On the evening of August 4th, Abdel Rahman and Harun leave

   8   the Hilltop Hotel and stay away all night.  I think he said

   9   that Rahman might have slept at Harun's house.  Harun had a

  10   house in Nairobi.  And then he went to stay with Saleh that

  11   night.  They were talking in Saleh's room and they were

  12   talking about a magazine article in, I believe it was an

  13   Egyptian publication about Egyptian terrorism and wanted

  14   terrorists and they discussed, they were wondering if Abu

  15   Hafs' picture would be in that magazine.

  16   Q.  And did Odeh indicate what Saleh's demeanor was that

  17   evening?

  18   A.  Saleh's demeanor was he was extremely worried and I

  19   believe he was saying some kind of prayers for anxiety and for

  20   worry, for being worried.

  21   Q.  Did Odeh indicate where he slept that night?

  22   A.  Yes, he slept in Saleh's room.

  24   interview, did he indicate to you whether he thought at that

   1            During the interview, did Odeh say anything about

   2   whether at that time he thought an operation was going to be

   3   carried out in Kenya.

   4   A.  On the day of the 4th, on that evening?

   5   Q.  Yes.

   6   A.  He actually stated that when people were there, the cell

   7   people, nobody talked about anything; even though the climate

   8   was urgent, nobody discussed anything.

   9   Q.  Now, tell us what Odeh told you about the following

  10   morning, the morning of August 5th.

  11   A.  Odeh states that when he woke up on the morning of August

  12   5th, he saw Haroun having breakfast with Saleh, and then a

  13   little later after that, Saleh and Harun were leaving the

  14   hotel.  So Odeh asks Saleh, while you're out, can you pick me

  15   up a Nike bag -- a travel bag, I should say -- a travel bag,

  16   socks and a shirt, something like that, and then he says, is

  17   there anything I can do?  Odeh asks Saleh, is there anything I

  18   can do?

  19            So Saleh tells him, why don't you stay at the hotel

  20   and wait for Abdel Rahman.  So I guess he had, you know,

  21   probably hadn't returned from the night before, he was out at

  22   Harun's.  He said, stay and wait for Rahman, and he did.

  23   However, Saleh and Harun returned before Rahman came back, so

  24   he went outside, he left the hotel at about 2:00 to go for a

  25   walk and buy some stuff on Moi Avenue.

  18   Saleh tells Odeh, I just got news from Kandahar, which is an

  19   area in Afghanistan, that all the people have been evacuated.

  20   And Odeh says, what do you mean?  And he says, well, we're

  21   expecting a retaliation by the United States Navy, we're

  22   expecting their warplanes to start hitting us and we're

  23   expecting missile attacks.  And then Odeh says that he doesn't

  24   pursue that comment.

  25   Q.  You mentioned Ahmed the Tanzanian and Fahad coming that

   1   day.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not they were staying at

   2   the Hilltop Hotel?

   3   A.  No, they were staying at a hotel on the same side of the

   4   street about 50 meters down the street.

   5   Q.  Did Odeh indicate whether or not he left the Hilltop Hotel

   6   for any time period during August 6th to do anything?

   7   A.  Yes.  He went out, he left the -- well, at 3:00 he left to

   8   go out to buy, I think he bought a towel and a bag, and

   9   returned to the hotel at about 5:00.

  10   Q.  Do you know what type of bag it was that Odeh said he

  11   bought?

  12   A.  Nike, a Nike bag, I think.

  13   Q.  Did he indicate what happened when he returned to the

  14   hotel?

  15   A.  When he returned to the hotel, he found Fahad.  Fahad was

  16   there, and now they were alone because the other three guys

  17   had left that day, too.  Ahmed from Tanzania, Abdel Rahman and

  18   Saleh left that day at 3:00.  They had a flight out of Nairobi

  19   at 3 to Karachi.

  20   Q.  Did he indicate what airline those three men flew on?

  21   A.  I think Kenyan Air.

  22   Q.  And did Odeh tell you what it was that he and Fahad did on

  23   August 6th in the afternoon?

  24   A.  When he got back to the hotel he said he saw Fahad, and

  25   Odeh also said before he returned, he also got his shoes

   1   shined.  And when he got back to the hotel, Fahad's there so

   2   they decide to go out for dinner at a place called Malindi

   3   Dishes and Fahad gets his shoes shined also.

   4   Q.  And did Odeh indicate whether or not before Saleh left

   5   that day Saleh gave anything to anyone?

   6   A.  Yes.  Before Saleh left, he gave $500 to each person who

   7   was traveling and said that that money was to be used for

   8   bribes, if you had to bribe somebody at the border or

   9   something, and for personal expenses.

  10   Q.  Now, during the course of the interview with Mr. Odeh, did

  11   he indicate anything about any other actions that were being

  12   taken in Afghanistan besides the people relocating from

  13   Kandahar?  Were they making any other changes?

  14   A.  Well, Saleh said that he was in contact with Abu Hafs and

  15   that Abu Hafs said that they were, you know, to quote him,

  16   changing the lines.  And he didn't understand, he assumed that

  17   to mean changing phone lines.

  18   Q.  When you say "he assumed that to mean," Odeh said that he

  19   assumed?

  20   A.  Odeh assumed to mean.  He said, I assume that was the

  21   phone lines.

  22   Q.  Did Odeh indicate what it is he did the rest of the day on

  23   August 6th with Fahad?

  24   A.  Well, you know, they went out for dinner and Fahad got his

  25   shoes shined and stuff, but they had a 10 p.m. flight that

                                                                1687

   1   night to leave Nairobi and they were expecting that Harun was

   2   going to drive them to the airport, but Harun never did it.

   3   So they took a taxi to the airport that night.

   4   Q.  Did Odeh indicate to you what happened when the plane

   5   arrived in Pakistan?

   6   A.  Yes.  Odeh stated that Fahad got through and that he got

   7   caught with bad documents by the Pakistani service.

   8   Q.  Just so we're clear, who got caught with bad documents?

   9   A.  Odeh got caught with bad documents.

  10   Q.  Now, during the time that you interviewed Odeh, did he

  11   tell you how terrorist operations in general are carried out?

  12   A.  Yes.  He described during a typical terrorist operation,

  13   that it's broken down into two cells.  You have your one cell

  14   that gets there ahead of time and they do all the logistics

  15   and planning.  They observe the building, they do

  16   surveillances.

  17            If it's difficult to do a really covert surveillance

  18   where you're going to get picked up, they would maybe set up a

  19   food stand or buy or set up some kind of a shop nearby to the

  20   target and observe the target and look for weaknesses.  They

  21   might even send somebody to the target to try to get in, you

  22   know, asking questions to see how tough the security was.  And

  23   then all this would be used to, you know, set up the

  24   operation, all this intelligence-gathering that that cell does

  25   and acquiring of the explosives and building the bomb and all

   1   that kind of stuff.

   2            The second cell is the actual people who arrived and

   3   do the act itself.

   4   Q.  Did he indicate to you with regard to explosives where

   5   the, as a general matter, where the best place to put

   6   explosive is if you are attacking a target that is a building?

   7   A.  The best place he said was to get the explosive charge

   8   inside the building.

   9   Q.  And can you indicate what was the next best alternative if

  10   you couldn't get the explosive charge inside the building?

  11   A.  Is to get the charge as close to the building as possible.

  12   Q.  During the course of the interviews did you discuss with

  13   Odeh general characteristics of a bomb, how to make one?

  14   A.  Yes.  He displayed knowledge of how explosives work.  He

  15   gave me an example of TNT.  He said that the best way to

  16   detonate TNT is to use another type of explosive called det.

  17   cord and he said that ten -- it's like a rope, det. cord, and

  18   that ten centimeters of det. cord would be good to initiate

  19   5.5 kilos of TNT.

  20   Q.  And did he indicate whether there was an alternative

  21   tousing the 10 centimeters of detonation cord?

  22   A.  Yes, that you could use a blasting cap.

  23   Q.  Did he indicate whether there was a formula how many

  24   blasting caps you would need versus the cord?

  25   A.  Yes, he did.  I believe it was one blasting cap for 5

   1   kilos of TNT.

   2   Q.  And did Odeh indicate to you any of the properties of TNT,

   3   what you could do with TNT if you were using it to make a

   4   bomb?

   5   A.  He said that you can actually melt TNT by heat, but that

   6   it has to be done outside because of the fumes.  He also

   7   stated that you can use -- with TNT you can use metal, it's

   8   called a shape charge, where you put the metal around the TNT

   9   so when it goes off, all the force of the blast you can aim

  10   the -- you can actually aim the force in one direction.

  11   Q.  Did he talk to you about different types of detonators?

  12   A.  Yes.  He said he was familiar with three types of

  13   detonators:  electrical detonator, mechanical and a fuse.

  14   Q.  Did he indicate which one was the best one to use for a

  15   particular type of operation?

  16   A.  The best type is to use either an electrical detonator or

  17   a mechanical detonator that would, what he described as

  18   command detonate, where you can command detonate actually

  19   yourself.

  20   Q.  During the course of the interviews, is it fair to say

  21   that Odeh told you that he did not know in advance that the

  22   bombing would happen?

  23   A.  Yes, that's fair to say.

  24   Q.  Did he indicate to you during the course of the interviews

  25   how he thinks the bombing was done and who he thought did it?

   1   A.  Well, I --

   2   Q.  Let me make that two questions.  Did he indicate during

   3   the course of the interview who he thought had bombed the

   4   American Embassy?

   5   A.  That his cell, Saleh and company.

   6   Q.  Did he indicate who he thought had built the bomb and

   7   where?

   8   A.  He thought that it was Harun and Abdel Rahman building the

   9   bomb at Harun's house.

  10   Q.  That would be the bomb of the American Embassy in Nairobi?

  11   A.  Yes.

  12   Q.  Did he indicate who he thought built the bomb for the

  13   embassy in Tanzania?

  14   A.  He made a statement that he believed that Abdel Rahman

  15   could have built that one, too.

  16   Q.  During the course of the interview, did Odeh indicate to

  17   you how he thought one could get explosives into Nairobi?

  18   A.  Yes.  He gave us a situation where explosives could be

  19   smuggled into Nairobi in boxes of lobsters.

  20   Q.  Did he indicate that in fact it was smuggled that way, or

  21   is that his indication of how they could have been smuggled?

  22   A.  Could have been smuggled.

  23   Q.  Did Odeh during the interviews make comments to you what

  24   he thought of the actual bombing and how it was carried out?

  25   A.  He thought it was a blunder.  He blamed Saleh for making a

                                                                1691

   1   big mistake.  He didn't like the fact that so many civilians

   2   and Kenyans were killed.  He said that the bombing of Khobar

   3   Towers was a hundred times better and that the individuals who

   4   had the, who drove the truck with the explosives should have

   5   got it into the building or died trying.

   6            MR. FITZGERALD:  Before we continue, I think you were

   7   going to give an instruction.

   8            THE COURT:  With respect to the Khobar matter, the

   9   parties have stipulated that no defendants are charged with

  10   participating in the Khobar bombing or in conspiring with

  11   respect thereto.

  12            That's a stipulation.

  13            MR. FITZGERALD:  Thank you, Judge.

  14   BY MR. FITZGERALD:

  15   Q.  Did Odeh tell you what he thought, how he thought the

  16   mistake had been made with regard to the bombing that caused

  17   so many civilians to be killed?

  18   A.  Well, one, they couldn't get it into the building and,

  19   two, the bomb was in the back of a pickup truck.  So, you

  20   imagine how a pickup truck is.  The bomb is in the back.  He

  21   said that the truck should have been backed into the target

  22   closely, okay, because the cab in front would act as a

  23   diversion for the explosion.

  24            So what actually happened is the truck came in nose

  25   first and when the bomb went off, he said that the force of


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1692
       12slbin2
                              Anticev - direct

   1   the explosion actually ricocheted for a second off the cab,

   2   which diverted the explosion and caused so much more damage in


   3   the area.

   4   Q.  So we're clear, what he's telling is you what he thinks

   5   the mistakes were that were made that would have caused the

   6   buildings nearby to be hit by the bomb explosion?

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  During the time that you interviewed Mr. Odeh, did he

   9   indicate to you why it was that he was talking to you?

  10   A.  Yes.  He stated that the reason he was talking to us now

  11   was because the people that he was with were pushing him and

  12   pushing him and pushing him and they're all gone and he's left

  13   here facing big problems.

  14   Q.  And then two last questions.  During the time that you

  15   spoke to Mr. Odeh did he ever talk about a person by the name

  16   of Fawwaz?  Fawwaz?

  17   A.  Fawwaz.

  18   Q.  If you recall.

  19   A.  I know that he did, but I don't recall.

  20   Q.  During the time that you spoke to him, did Odeh indicate

  21   whether or not he was aware of a search conducted of a house

  22   in Nairobi prior to 1998?  Just yes or no.

  23   A.  Yes.

  24   Q.  Did he indicate to you who the person that was present,

  25   present in the house at the time of the search, whether there

   2   A.  Yes, there was.

   3   Q.  Can you indicate the name of the man?

   5   Q.  K-A-R-A-M-A?

   3            MR. FITZGERALD:  Your Honor, I forgot to ask one

   4   question, which I told Mr. Ricco.

   5            THE COURT:  Hold the jury.  I just want to clarify

   6   the matter of sketching and sketch artists, because I am told

   7   that the CNN Web site had a sketch of the face of the last

   8   witness, who was somebody who was in the Witness Protection

   9   Program and whose face should not have been sketched.

  10   Government witnesses there is no prohibition.  With respect to

  11   any other witness, before an artist attempts to sketch the

  12   face the court is to be notified, so that there will be no

  13   ambiguity as to whether or not a particular witness's face may

  14   or may not be sketched.  There are some witnesses who have

  15   been assured for security reasons that their likeness will not

  16   be disseminated.

  17            MR. FITZGERALD:  Your Honor, could we clarify that by

  18   government witness you mean government employee witness.

  19            THE COURT:  Government employees, law enforcement

  20   agents.

  21            (Jury present)

  22            MR. FITZGERALD:  There is one minor correction.  I

  23   change the last "or" to "and not."  I think it will make it

  24   more clear.

  25            THE COURT:  That is all right.

   1   Q.  You said to us that with the exception of two full days

   2   you worked on or most of most of the other days.

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  I would like -- first I would like to start, the document

   5   before you has been identified as Government's Exhibit 6, and

   6   that document memorializes your interview with Mr. Odeh back

   7   in 1998; isn't that correct?

   8   A.  Yes.

   9   Q.  You have had an opportunity to review that document,

  10   haven't you?

  11   A.  Yes.

  12   Q.  It reasonably records your interview with him; isn't that

  13   correct?

  14   A.  Yes.

  15            MR. RICCO:  At this point, your Honor, I move

  16   Government's Exhibit 6 into evidence.  I believe it is without

  17   objection.

  18            MR. FITZGERALD:  Yes, your Honor, no objection.  We

  19   just need to confirm that we have the right copy of it, but no

  20   objection whatsoever.

  21            THE COURT:  Government's Exhibit 6 is received.  Is

  22   that the document that this has reference to?

  23            MR. RICCO:  Yes, your Honor.

  24            THE COURT:  May I see Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Dratel

  25   over here.  I don't think it need be on.

   2            (Government's Exhibit 6 received in evidence)

   3            THE COURT:  Ladies and gentlemen, with respect to

   4   Government's Exhibit 6, the exhibit that has just been

   5   received in evidence, you may notice that portions have been

   6   redacted, that is, deleted, with blanks indicated.  In other

   7   exhibits also have portions that have been redacted.  Redacted

   8   is a fancy word for deleted or omitted.  The redactions are

   9   made by the court and the parties and are for the purposes of

  10   eliminating any irrelevant or inadmissible portions of any

  11   particular exhibits.  As a result, the fact that any exhibit

  12   has been redacted is not of any concern to you and not

  13   relevant to your consideration of the evidence.

  14            MR. RICCO:  May I continue, your Honor?

  15            THE COURT:  Please.

  16   BY MR. RICCO:

  17   Q.  Agent Anticev, I would like to start where you ended.  You

  18   were explaining to us that at sometime during the interview

  19   hypothetical questions were asked of Mr. Odeh, right?

  20   A.  Yes.

  21   Q.  He was asked to speculate on hindsight as to who he

  22   thought was responsible for the bombing, right?

  23            MR. FITZGERALD:  Objection to form, your Honor.

  24   Q.  All right.  He was asked to give his assessment of how he

  25   thought the bomb, where it was developed and how it happened,


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1699
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   right?

   2   A.  Well, except for we asked him certainly and we brought it

   3   out as hypothetical situations, those three actions that he

   4   would take, you know, about bombing a US target in Saudi

   5   Arabia and the bombing of a building in Kenya and the bombing

   6   of a building outside.  Those were three hypothetical

   7   situations that we brought up.

   8   Q.  That was done in order to get Mr. Odeh to talk, right, to

   9   ask him hypothetical questions, right?

  10   A.  It was to establish his mindset, how he felt about the

  11   group, how dedicated he was, yes.

  12   Q.  To get him to talk, right?

  13   A.  OK, yes.

  14   Q.  And he did.

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  One of the things that he talked to you about was a level

  17   of anger and disappointment over the bombing that took place

  18   itself, the actual bombing, right?

  19   A.  Yes.

  20   Q.  He was angry at the amount of innocent civilian people who

  21   were injured; isn't that correct?

  22   A.  Yes.

  23   Q.  You also asked Mr. Odeh questions about his knowledge of

  24   explosives, correct?

  25   A.  Yes.


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1700

                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  And I think that you told us that you had the impression

   2   that he was very or somewhat knowledgeable about explosives.

   3   A.  Somewhat knowledgeable, yes.

   4   Q.  That sort of confirmed in your mind that when Mr. Odeh

   5   told you that he had explosive training that probably was

   6   accurate, right?

   7   A.  If he told me he had explosives training, I am really no

   8   judge to say if his stuff was accurate, what he was telling

   9   me.  I'm not a bomb technician.

  10   Q.  OK, but the conversation that he was having with you about

  11   how explosives worked didn't sound like it was off the wall.

  12   A.  No.

  13   Q.  When the interviews first started, the interviews were

  14   conducted with you and other US government officials, correct?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  And also the presence of the Kenyan police authorities,

  17   right?

  18   A.  Yes.

  19   Q.  I am not going to try to squeeze the whole 12 or 13 days

  20   of interviews into the cross-examination.  I would like to

  21   just focus in on some things.  OK?

  22   A.  OK.

  23   Q.  The areas that I would like to focus in on would be the

  24   interviews that would be as to his membership in Al Qaeda, the

  25   circumstances that led up to Mr. Odeh's leaving Kenya, and his


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1701

                               Anticev - cross

   1   association with other members of Al Qaeda.  OK?

   2   A.  OK.

   3   Q.  During the interview, the series of interviews, Mr. Odeh

   4   would explain things on some days, and then on a subsequent

   5   day you would have him come back to give additional

   6   information, or he would offer additional information as to

   7   areas that were already covered; isn't that right?

   8   A.  Yes.

   9   Q.  Before the interviews started, Mr. Odeh was advised that

  10   he had a right to remain silent; isn't that correct?

  11   A.  Yes.

  12   Q.  That was done in your presence?

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  He was also advised that in America, here, he would have a

  15   right to have an attorney appointed for him, right?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  He was advised that he could have the attorney with him if

  18   he were in America, be there for him during the interviews,

  19   correct?

  20   A.  Yes.

  21   Q.  And he could also have an attorney assist him into whether

  22   or not he wanted to talk to you in the first place.

  23   A.  Yes.

  24   Q.  There was a problem because there was no American lawyer

  25   there; isn't that right?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1702

                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Yes.

   2   Q.  That could assist him.

   3   A.  I am sorry?

   4   Q.  That could assist him.

   5   A.  Correct.

   6   Q.  So during the reading of his rights, Mr. Odeh said what

   7   about a Kenyan lawyer?  He raised that subject, didn't he?

   8   A.  Yes, he did.

   9   Q.  And at first, because of the way he was presenting issues,

  10   you weren't able to immediately respond to his request for a

  11   Kenyan lawyer, right?

  12   A.  He didn't request a Kenyan lawyer.  He said would I be

  13   getting a Kenyan lawyer, is there one available.

  14   Q.  And you take that as to not mean that he was requesting a

  15   lawyer.

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  OK.  The conversation continued for a few moments, and

  18   then there was a break to find out whether or not under Kenyan

  19   law a court-appointed lawyer, a free lawyer would be available

  20   for him, right?

  21   A.  I don't recall about a free or court-appointed, but we

  22   asked if under their rule of law, was he entitled to have a

  23   lawyer present during questioning.

  24   Q.  Did you say during your direct testimony that he was told

  25   that there was no Kenyan lawyer available for him?

                                                                1703
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Yes.

   2   Q.  Did you explain to Mr. Odeh what available meant?

   3   A.  We explained to him that the way our advice of rights form

   4   that is used when FBI agents do this kind of thing overseas,

   5   that we can't -- in the advice form itself it says we can't

   6   guarantee that you can get an attorney, something to that

   7   effect.  It says in America we would give you an attorney, but

   8   the advice of rights form that he read and signed says that we

   9   weren't the ones giving him an attorney overseas.  It says if

  10   it was available.

  11   Q.  Did you explain to Mr. Odeh that the Kenyans will not give

  12   him an attorney?

  13   A.  We explained that under the rules in Kenya, that he does

  14   not get an attorney at that stage of the game.

  15   Q.  OK.  So Mr. Odeh was told that he could speak to -- I

  16   think you told us he had three options.  One was, he could

  17   speak to the US authorities and the Kenyan authorities

  18   together.  That would be one option.  He could speak with the

  19   Kenyans alone.  Or he could speak with nobody.  Right?

  20   A.  Yes.  The second one was if he states that I won't talk --

  21   I want a lawyer --

  22   Q.  We will get to that.  I just want to get to the three

  23   options --

  24   A.  Yes, basically that's correct.

  25   Q.  You told us, I think, and I don't mean to cut you off, but


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1704
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   you told us that Mr. Odeh gave you a fourth option.

   2   A.  Yes.

   3   Q.  Before we get to the fourth option, at that point Mr. Odeh

   4   had not selected option 1, 2 or 3, correct?

   5   A.  No.

   6   Q.  He wasn't interested in talking --

   7            THE COURT:  You said correct and the witness said no.

   8            MR. RICCO:  I am sorry, Judge.  I will straighten it

   9   out.  Let me take it step by step.

  10   Q.  Mr. Odeh did not say OK, I'll speak to you and the Kenyans

  11   together, correct?  He didn't say that.  At first.

  12   A.  At first he said that he would talk to us, and then he

  13   asked -- this was before he signed the form.  And he said

  14   well, I don't want to sign the form right now, we'll talk

  15   small talk first.  But he did agree to talk.

  16   Q.  Did he agree to speak to the Kenyans alone?

  17   A.  No.

  18   Q.  When Mr. Odeh mentioned the fourth option, yourself and

  19   the other US officials left the room to discuss the matter

  20   amongst yourselves; isn't that correct?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  And the fourth option was, I would like to speak to the

  23   American officials alone, to the exclusion of the Kenyans;

  24   isn't that correct?

  25   A.  Yes.

       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  And the Americans got up, left the room to discuss it,

   2   right?

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  And when you left the room, you left Mr. Odeh in the room

   5   with the people who he did not want to talk to alone, correct?

   6   A.  Yes.

   7   Q.  Then all of a sudden you are called back into the room and

   8   Mr. Odeh says I'll speak to both groups, right?

   9   A.  Yes.

  10   Q.  And I think that you said to us that he said well, since

  11   you're going to tell each other what's going on anyway, I'll

  12   do it.

  13   A.  Yes, basically.

  14   Q.  Now I want to go to his membership in Al Qaeda.  Mr. Odeh

  15   told you straight out that he was a member of Al Qaeda; isn't

  16   that correct?

  17   A.  Yes.

  18   Q.  He told you that he made bayat and officially joined Al

  19   Qaeda in March of 1992.

  20   A.  Yes.

  21   Q.  Mr. Odeh stated that he had joined Bin Laden and Al Qaeda

  22   group because they treated Muslims the same without regard to

  23   nationality.  That was one of the reasons why he joined,

  24   right?

  25   A.  Yes.

                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  He also stated that he wasn't interested in joining other

   2   groups because in the other Islamic groups the members took

   3   orders from a chain of command that would often have the

   4   membership do things that were Islamically incorrect.

   5   A.  Yes.

   6   Q.  This theme of Islamic, things being Islamically correct,

   7   permeated your conversations with Mr. Odeh; isn't that fair to

   8   say?

   9   A.  Yes.

  10   Q.  It came up often, isn't that right?

  11   A.  Yes.

  12   Q.  Mr. Odeh explained that he took bayat and swore to Allah

  13   that he would follow Usama Bin Laden but only as long as

  14   Mr. Bin Laden followed proper Islamic law; isn't that correct?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  Now I want to turn to Mr. Odeh's travels to Afghanistan

  17   and Somalia and how that came about, as he told them to you.

  18            Mr. Odeh explained the circumstances under which he

  19   joined the Mujahedeen forces fighting against the Soviet

  20   Union; isn't that right?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  And I think you told us his background, that he was

  23   attending college and he got involved in the Islamic movement

  24   and he left school to join the forces in Afghanistan.

  25   A.  Yes.

                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  The men that he met in Afghanistan ultimately became the

   2   core group of the individuals that later made up the core

   3   group of Al Qaeda; isn't that correct?

   4   A.  The core group of Al Qaeda in Kenya.

   5   Q.  Yes.

   6   A.  Yes.

   7   Q.  OK.  When the events in Afghanistan were winding down, one

   8   of the members of Al Qaeda had suggested to Mohamed, I think

   9   it was Saif al Adel, that he should prepare to go to Somalia

  10   by way of Kenya.

  11   A.  Yes.

  12   Q.  And Mr. Odeh told you that somewhere around March of 1993,

  13   he in fact went to Somalia.

  14   A.  Yes.

  15   Q.  Mr. Odeh advised you that when he first went to Somalia he

  16   went because there was trouble in Somalia between the tribes

  17   and Aideed; isn't that correct?

  18   A.  Yes.

  19   Q.  Mr. Odeh told you that the tribes needed training for

  20   fighting, food and money, right?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  He told you that the training was to provide some basic

  23   training.  His job was the medical part --

  24   A.  I am sorry?

  25   Q.  The medical part.  But he also said there was small arms

   2   A.  Yes.

   3   Q.  He told you at that time he was about 600 kilometers from

   4   Mogadishu; isn't that right?

   5   A.  Yes.

   6   Q.  And that the groups that he was training were against

   7   Aideed.

   8   A.  No.

   9   Q.  Were with Aideed.

  10   A.  He was training the -- when he first got to Somalia, he

  11   was training the Um Rehan tribe.

  12   Q.  OK.  At some point Mr. Odeh returned to Kenya.

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  He met up there with other members of Al Qaeda that he

  15   fought with in Afghanistan; isn't that right?

  16   A.  Yes, and had been with in Somalia also.

  17   Q.  Like Suliman, for example, was one of the people he said

  18   was both in Afghanistan and Somalia.

  19   A.  OK, yes.

  20   Q.  Some members of Al Qaeda moved on to other countries, but

  21   Mohamed and a few others decided to stay in Kenya.  I think

  22   you told us that.

  23   A.  Yes.

  24   Q.  Mr. Odeh indicated to you that he had gotten married and

  25   that he began to support himself in his marriage in a fishing

   1   business.

   2   A.  Yes, but that fishing business was presented to him by Abu

   3   Hafs and funded by Abu Hafs.

   4   Q.  I'm not there yet.  I will get to that piece by piece.

   5   A.  OK.

   6   Q.  First he told you that there was a fishing business.

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  And the fishing business came from a boat that he got from

   9   Abu Hafs, right?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  And the boat was from Al Qaeda.  Right?

  12   A.  Yes.

  13   Q.  And he said that the boat provided income for other

  14   members of Al Qaeda who were in the area.

  15            By the way, when Mr. Odeh was giving you those codes

  16   about different words that are used in the reports, was there

  17   any secret code for fish, like fish means detonators or fish

  18   means something?  Any code for fish?

  19   A.  He gave me five or six words that he remembered off the

  20   top of his head but nothing for fish.

  21   Q.  Ultimately down the line I think Mr. Odeh was in the

  22   carpentry business and making furniture, right?

  23   A.  Yes.

  24   Q.  Al Qaeda wasn't in the furniture business -- I will

  25   withdraw that.

   1            Mr. Odeh told you in 1997 that he received orders to

   2   go back to Somalia to evaluate a situation there, and he went

   3   there with two other members of Al Qaeda; isn't that correct?

   4   A.  Yes.

   5   Q.  And they stayed there for several months, right?

   6   A.  Yes.

   7   Q.  Then you learned that Mr. Odeh returned to Kenya where he

   8   remained up until the time he was ordered to leave.

   9   A.  Yes.

  10   Q.  Now I would like to just turn to the circumstances that

  11   led up to the August 6 leaving by Mr. Odeh.  During the

  12   interview, Mr. Odeh stated that several months before August

  13   1998, he was told by Mustafa that Saleh got a message from

  14   Usama Bin Laden that all the Al Qaeda people had to be ready

  15   to travel soon; is that right?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  And Mr. Odeh related to you over these interviews that he

  18   was told that he assumed that the travel would include his

  19   wife and his child, right?

  20   A.  Yes.

  21   Q.  Mr. Odeh further told you that he informed Mustafa that he

  22   would work on getting his documents together legitimately so

  23   that he and his family could travel; isn't that correct?

  24   A.  I am not sure about that.  He wanted to go with his

  25   family, that's for sure, but I don't know about -- yes, he did

                                                                1711
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   say that he would try to get more than one passport if that

   2   meant his family, fine.  But then they said no, you get one

   3   passport for yourself.

   4   Q.  That's right.

   5            THE COURT:  Who said you get one passport?

   6            THE WITNESS:  Saleh.

   7   Q.  Ultimately Saleh told him that.

   8   A.  Saleh.

   9   Q.  And Saleh told him that a little further down the line

  10   when Saleh was a little anxious about the delay that Mohamed

  11   was having in getting his passport through regular channels,

  12   right?

  13   A.  I didn't get the last part.

  14   Q.  I will rephrase it.  The statement that Saleh made to

  15   Mohamed, which was to just get one passport, and even if it

  16   has to be fake get a passport and be ready to go, this

  17   statement was made a little further down the line; isn't that

  18   right?

  19   A.  Yes.  I don't know if Saleh said that.  I recall that as

  20   maybe being from --

  21   Q.  Mustafa?

  22   A.  Mustafa saying, but on the orders of Saleh.

  23   Q.  This was after there was some delay on behalf of Mohamed

  24   to get his paperwork together through regular channels; isn't

  25   that right?  Isn't that correct?

       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Yes.

   2   Q.  Mr. Odeh had indicated to you that in the six years that

   3   he had been in Al Qaeda, he had never had that kind of

   4   pressure put on him before to move so urgently; isn't that

   5   right?

   6   A.  Yes.

   7   Q.  He also indicated to you that he really had a willingness

   8   to stay in Kenya, that he liked Kenya and he wanted to stay

   9   there.

  10   A.  Yes, he did indicate that.

  11   Q.  What Mr. Odeh has indicated to you is that around the time

  12   he had this conversation with Mustafa he was living in Witu,

  13   right?

  14   A.  Yes.

  15   Q.  And Witu is an area that is the sub -- it's a rural area

  16   in Kenya, isn't that correct?

  17   A.  I don't know.

  18            MR. RICCO:  Your Honor, I think this map has been

  19   previously identified of the Kenya area.

  20            I am sorry, Judge.  I am informed by Mr. Wilford that

  21   it was Odeh C but they couldn't get it up yesterday.  So with

  22   the permission of the court it is being displayed to the jury.

  23   I am sorry.  We would like this map marked as Odeh C.

  24            MR. FITZGERALD:  No objection.

  25            THE COURT:  You are offering it?

                               Anticev - cross

   1            MR. RICCO:  Yes, your Honor.

   2            THE COURT:  Received.

   3            (Defendant's Exhibit Odeh C received in evidence)

   4   Q.  Mr. Odeh indicated to you that he was in the carpentry

   5   business in Witu, right?

   6   A.  Yes.  Furniture business he called it.

   7   Q.  The furniture business, OK.  Never been to Witu, had you?

   8   A.  No.

   9   Q.  Never seen the furniture in Witu?

  10   A.  No.

  11   Q.  What Mr. Odeh indicated to you, that he happened to be in

  12   Mombasa on business and he ran into Saleh, and Saleh told him

  13   to come to the town of Malindi for a meeting; isn't that

  14   right?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  And Mr. Odeh indicated to you that he came to the meeting,

  17   and at the meeting there were other members of Al Qaeda, and

  18   at that meeting Saleh stated to the group that he had recently

  19   returned from Afghanistan and that Bin Laden was calling all

  20   Mujahedeen to return to Afghanistan, correct?

  21   A.  Mujahedeen and Al Qaeda members.

  22   Q.  Mr. Odeh indicated to you that afterwards he spoke to

  23   Saleh alone and said that he would relocate to Afghanistan

  24   because it was an Islamic country and it would be his duty --

  25   he used the word duty -- to return to Afghanistan, correct?

                                                                1714
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Correct.

   2   Q.  Odeh recalled to you that he informed Odeh that -- I am

   3   sorry.  I will strike that.

   4            Mr. Odeh indicated after the meeting that he returned

   5   to Witu to work and wait for his Jordanian passport to be

   6   renewed, right?

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  The conversation that we had talked about earlier with

   9   Mustafa happened, according to Mr. Odeh, sometime in April

  10   1998.  He gets a visit from Mustafa, and Mustafa visits him

  11   and tells him that Saleh has a message from Bin Laden, and

  12   everyone including Al Qaeda and Mujahedeen must leave, right?

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  So he is constantly being informed that there is an

  15   urgency about him getting himself ready to travel, right?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  You also indicated to us, indicated to the jury that it

  18   was during this visit that Mr. Odeh related to you that he had

  19   a conversation with Mustafa about Bin Laden's declaration of

  20   war against American people in these fatwahs, correct?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  Odeh related to you that there were some concerns amongst

  23   Al Qaeda members whether Bin Laden had the right to do this,

  24   and whether they were prepared to participate in that

  25   activity; isn't that correct?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1715
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Right, that's what he told me.

   2   Q.  By the way, when Mr. Odeh made the statement to you that

   3   there was concern as to whether or not Bin Laden had the right

   4   to do this, did you ask Mr. Odeh what do you mean by that?

   5   A.  I don't think he said that if Bin Laden had the right to

   6   do it, unless I am mistaken.  I thought, from what I recall it

   7   was more like are we prepared to take on an enemy so strong as

   8   the United States.  I think that was the essence.

   9   Q.  Mr. Odeh stated that there were many people who were

  10   against such a plan; isn't that correct?  Isn't that correct?

  11   A.  OK, I stand corrected, yes.

  12   Q.  Mr. Odeh related to you that there were many people who

  13   were against such a plan.

  14   A.  Yes, there were.

  15   Q.  I would like to move along.  About 40 days before Mr. Odeh

  16   traveled out of Nairobi, he said to you that he received yet

  17   another visit, and he received a visit from a person named

  18   Ahmad the Egyptian.

  19   A.  Yes.

  20   Q.  And Ahmed the Egyptian came to him in Witu and told

  21   Mr. Odeh two messages:  One, that there was a sheik from

  22   Somalia that had to somehow get to Afghanistan, right?

  23   A.  Right.

  24   Q.  And that they needed Mohamed Odeh and others to export him

  25   to Afghanistan.


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1716
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Not and the others.  I think it was more like either you,

   2   Mustafa or Ahmed the Egyptian would --

   3   Q.  Like one or two or three of them, right?

   4   A.  I don't know.  It could have been one, it could have been

   5   three.  The way I understood it to be was one of the three.

   6   Q.  But the bottom line is that what Mr. Odeh related to you

   7   was that a person came to him with a story as to why he had to

   8   go to Afghanistan, and one part of the story was that there

   9   was some sheik that needed to go.

  10   A.  The meeting with Ahmed 40 days before he had to go, that's

  11   the first time that he is hearing that this is regarding a

  12   sheik.  But before that, they are telling -- you know, the

  13   first two meetings is everybody is leaving.  So I don't

  14   understand how he would think that was just to escort one

  15   person to Afghanistan.

  16   Q.  Needless to say as to what he thought, what he told you

  17   was that Ahmed the Egyptian came to him and said the sheik

  18   needed to be escorted to Afghanistan.

  19   A.  Yes.

  20   Q.  That's what he related to you.

  21   A.  Right.

  22   Q.  They also discussed the fatwah and Mr. Odeh again stated

  23   that he was anxious about traveling on such a short notice;

  24   isn't that right?

  25   A.  On the 40-day meeting?

                                                                1717
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  Yes.

   2   A.  Well, he was anxious about traveling in general.

   3   Q.  OK.  Mr. Odeh related to you that Ahmed informed him to

   4   travel as soon as possible, even if it meant getting fake

   5   documents; isn't that correct?

   6   A.  That's what he said.

   7   Q.  And Ahmed left Mr. Odeh remain in Witu for approximately

   8   another 20 days or so, and then on July 14, 1998, he headed

   9   for Mombasa.

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  When Mr. Odeh arrives in Mombasa, he said he ran into

  12   Saleh in old Mombasa, and he asked Saleh if they still needed

  13   him to travel to Afghanistan.

  14   A.  Yes.

  15   Q.  Mr. Odeh was told yes, they still needed him to travel,

  16   but Mr. Odeh indicated that he had not received a renewal of

  17   his passport, and he did not have the necessary travel

  18   documents.  This was in July of 1998, correct?

  19   A.  Yes.

  20   Q.  Mr. Odeh said that Saleh told him to find a person named

  21   Fahad and that Fahad would help him with the travel documents

  22   and give him money to get the documents together; isn't that

  23   correct?

  24   A.  Yes.

  25   Q.  There was a problem that Fahad wasn't available and he


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1718
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   ended up having to get the money from a third person; isn't

   2   that correct?

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  Mr. Odeh several days later said that he ran into Saleh

   5   but they were constantly sort of missing each other when they

   6   were in Mombasa; isn't that right?

   7   A.  Seems that way, yes.

   8   Q.  And I think Mr. Odeh related to you that he had left an

   9   umbrella in the mosque and he was going back to the mosque to

  10   pick up the umbrella, and he ran into Harun and Saleh.

  11   A.  Fahad and Saleh.

  12   Q.  I am sorry, excuse me.  Fahad and Saleh, right?

  13   A.  Right.

  14   Q.  This was the time --

  15   A.  This was August 1, I believe.

  16   Q.  And this is the time when Saleh berated -- I am sorry.

  17            Again there was conversation about traveling and this

  18   was the time that Saleh berated Mohamed publicly for the slow

  19   way in which he was moving about getting himself prepared to

  20   travel; isn't that correct?

  21   A.  Yes.  He says he yelled at him out in the street to get

  22   going.

  23   Q.  Mohamed was told the money was available, be prepared to

  24   go, someone is going to help you with the documents, but there

  25   was a problem, it was on a Sunday, and he couldn't get the


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1719
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   documents on that Sunday; isn't that right?

   2   A.  Right.

   3   Q.  So what he did was, Mr. Odeh went back to Mombasa to

   4   straighten out business with his family.

   5   A.  He went back to, not Mombasa, he went back to see his

   6   wife's --

   7   Q.  Family.

   8   A.  Family.  His wife's aunt, in Malindi, I thought.

   9   Q.  I think you are correct.

  10   A.  Right.

  11   Q.  And while he is there in Malindi, he gets a telephone

  12   call, and basically the call says listen, it's time to go, get

  13   back over here, we're preparing to leave, something to that

  14   effect; isn't that correct?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  He then travels back to Mombasa, he gets himself prepared,

  17   and it is from Mombasa that he makes his way towards Nairobi;

  18   isn't that correct?

  19   A.  Well, he goes back to Mombasa the next day.  He is

  20   supposed to meet Saleh at the bus stop.

  21   Q.  They miss each other?

  22   A.  They miss each other and he sleeps at his

  23   brother-in-law's, and the next day they run around trying to

  24   get all those things done that he was told to do, the 3rd,

  25   August 3.

                                                                1720
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  Eventually he travels to Nairobi by bus; isn't that

   2   correct?

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  I just want to take you through a few questions when he

   5   gets to Nairobi.  Mr. Odeh checks into the Hilltop Hotel, he

   6   runs into Saleh and Harun, they leave the hotel, right?

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  When they leave the hotel, the two are leaving the hotel,

   9   they run into -- withdrawn.

  10            While at the hotel, Mr. Odeh runs into Saleh and

  11   Harun, right?  And Saleh stated that they were on their way to

  12   do a small job.  I think you told us that.

  13   A.  Right.

  14   Q.  And what you told us was that Mohamed knew it was Al Qaeda

  15   work that they were going to take care of.  Was that something

  16   that you assumed or was that something that's a part of his

  17   statement?

  18   A.  When I said Al Qaeda business during testimony, that's not

  19   in the document.

  20   Q.  That's right.

  21   A.  Right.  The way he says in the document, he knew it

  22   wasn't, you know, personal things.  He made that pretty clear.

  23   They were going out to do something, and he actually said

  24   they're not going out to do some shopping or something like

  25   that.

                                                                1721
       12skbin3
                               Anticev - cross

   1   Q.  Isn't it a fact that what he said is that when the two of

   2   them returned that they talked about that they were shopping?

   3   A.  Yes, that's says it in the report, I believe.

   4   Q.  They said that they talked about the shopping that they

   5   had done.  This was Harun and Saleh.

   6   A.  Right.

   7   Q.  So when you said to us that Mohamed knew it was Al Qaeda

   8   business, is that your assessment or is that what he actually

   9   said?

  10   A.  No, he did not say that.

  11   Q.  Mr. Odeh was at the hotel several days, and while at the

  12   hotel he came in contact with other members of Al Qaeda.  I

  13   think you have told us that.  For the most part Mr. Odeh

  14   remained at the hotel, except for the time periods that he

  15   went out to do some shopping.  Mr. Odeh indicated to you that

  16   no one had discussed with him any plans about bombing or

  17   surveillance or anything of that sort; isn't that correct?

  18   A.  Right.  He said that he didn't know what was going on.

  19   Q.  All right.  He said that some of the men sometimes would

  20   go and they would be out all night and he would see them in

  21   the morning at breakfast, right?

  22   A.  Right.

  23   Q.  And then on another night maybe a different combination

  24   would go out and then they would come back the next day,

  25   right?

                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  Yes.

   2   Q.  One of the things that Saleh told -- one of the things

   3   that happened -- I think I said this.  I just want to be clear

   4   about it -- is that Saleh gave to Mohamed Odeh a pair of

   5   trousers, a razor, and I think maybe one or two other small

   6   items, right?

   7   A.  On the first day they met.

   8   Q.  Yes.

   9   A.  When they checked in and they ran into each other.

  10   Q.  Yes.

  11   A.  Saleh gave him a razor and a pair of pants.

  12   Q.  And he wanted him -- he gave him some socks and a shirt,

  13   something like that, but he wanted him to shave himself so he

  14   wouldn't look Islamic without a beard.

  15   A.  Right.

  16   Q.  What Mr. Odeh told you is that ultimately he leaves

  17   Mombasa -- I am sorry -- he leaves Nairobi on August 6 with

  18   Fahad.

  19   A.  Correct.

  20   Q.  And that they fly into Pakistan, and that at the Pakistani

  21   airport Mr. Odeh is arrested, right?

  22   A.  Right.

  23   Q.  And Mr. Fahad continues traveling on to wherever it is he

  24   was going to.

  25            I wanted just to ask you a couple questions and I'm

   1   done.

   2            Mr. Odeh also told you a lot of information about

   3   friends of Al Qaeda.  These would be people who were not

   4   official members but who were sort of associates of Al Qaeda,

   5   correct?

   6   A.  Yes.

   7   Q.  He indicated who some of those individuals were, right?

   8   A.  Yes.

   9   Q.  One was a guy named Tawhil, the tall one, right?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  Another one was a guy Abu Suliman from Tanzania, right?

  12   A.  Yes.

  13   Q.  Another fellow named Numeiri, who was an Egyptian from the

  14   United States?

  15   A.  Right.

  16   Q.  And he gave you the names of other people who were friends

  17   of Al Qaeda.

  18   A.  Yes.

  19   Q.  These were people who he indicated were not members with

  20   bayat but they either did business or conducted affairs that

  21   Al Qaeda either benefited from or furthered their interests,

  22   right?

  23   A.  Yes, but he also mentioned some friends of Al Qaeda could

  24   be used to also gather intelligence on targets.  They don't

  25   have to be, you know, full-fledged bayat-taking members to do

   1   that for them.

   2   Q.  All right.  And he also gave you quite a bit of

   3   information about people who he said to you were members of Al

   4   Qaeda, right?

   5   A.  Yes.

   6   Q.  And when you asked him questions about these individuals,

   7   he gave you their names, right?  He gave you descriptions of

   8   them, correct?

   9   A.  Yes.

  10   Q.  He told you where he believed they were from, like what

  11   countries they were from, right?

  12   A.  Yes.

  13   Q.  He even offered at times where he thought they were

  14   presently located, right?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  These descriptions were very detailed; isn't that right?

  17   A.  Yes.

  18   Q.  Mr. Odeh said to you that he felt a sense of

  19   responsibility for the bombing because he was a member of Al

  20   Qaeda; isn't that right?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  But his sharing that with you was a moral sense of

  23   responsibility; isn't that right?

  24   A.  Yes.

  25   Q.  He never said to you that he was responsible because this

   1   was something that he did; isn't that correct?

   2   A.  Correct.

   3   Q.  He felt morally responsible because he was associated with

   4   and a member of Al Qaeda; isn't that correct?

   5   A.  In that context, yes.

   6   Q.  Now I am at the point where I only have a few more

   7   questions and I'm done.

   8            During the interviews with Mohamed Odeh, the Kenyans

   9   were present during those interviews; isn't that right?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  During the evening hours when the interviews ceased,

  12   Mr. Odeh was taken back into Kenyan custody; isn't that

  13   correct?

  14   A.  Yes.

  15   Q.  You didn't spend those evening hours with Mr. Odeh; isn't

  16   that right?

  17   A.  That's right.

  18   Q.  There were times when Mr. Odeh was in the presence and

  19   custody of the Kenyans without the American officials being

  20   there; isn't that right?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  Often, isn't that correct?

  23   A.  Yes.

  24   Q.  In fact, during the two-day period where you were not

  25   questioning Mr. Odeh, do you know whether or not he was being

                               Anticev - cross

   1   questioned by the Kenyans during that timed period?

   2   A.  We were -- we made agreements with the Kenyans that we

   3   would participate in all the interviews.  Do I know what

   4   happened outside my presence?  I don't know.

   5   Q.  Were you sharing your information with the Kenyans?

   6   A.  Yes.

   7   Q.  Were they sharing their information with you?

   8   A.  I wouldn't know.

   9   Q.  You wouldn't know?  Did they?

  10   A.  I am sorry?

  11   Q.  Did they?

  12   A.  I can't understand.

  13   Q.  Did they share --

  14   A.  No, the Kenyans never came to me and said we found this

  15   out, no.  That wasn't the arrangement that we made.  We were

  16   going to do the interview together.

  17   Q.  But you have no knowledge of whether or not interviews

  18   took place with the Kenyans when you were not present, do you?

  19   A.  No, because I wasn't there.  But I would ask him.  There

  20   were times that we were alone without Kenyans, and I asked him

  21   how things were, is everything OK, are you fed, how are you

  22   doing, and he said fine.

  23   Q.  Mr. Odeh was pretty upset about his wife's situation,

  24   wasn't he?

  25   A.  Yes.

   1   Q.  That's not in the report, is it?

   2   A.  About the wife, no.

   3   Q.  In fact, as early as the first morning, the first full

   4   morning on the 16th of August there was a directive from the

   5   FBI to get information about the location of his wife; isn't

   6   that right?

   7   A.  I don't recall that, but that might have -- you know, find

   8   out where he lives --

   9   Q.  Where she lives --

  10   A.  Where she lives, naturally, where his home is.

  11   Q.  And Mr. Odeh gave you information about where his wife

  12   could be located; isn't that correct?

  13   A.  I believe so, yes.

  14   Q.  Didn't the American agents go out and bring his wife to

  15   the precinct?

  16   A.  I guess -- I didn't do that part but I don't know if the

  17   Kenyans brought her or if Americans and Kenyans together

  18   brought her in.  I don't know.

  19   Q.  Don't your notes indicate that Mr. Odeh should be informed

  20   that his wife is in custody?

  21   A.  I am sorry.

  22   Q.  Don't your handwritten notes indicate that?

  23   A.  Do I?

  24   Q.  Yes.

   1   Q.  Let me ask you the question this way.  First, do you have

   2   any knowledge as to whether or not his wife was taken into

   3   custody by the authorities?

   4   A.  Yes.

   5   Q.  Was she taken into custody by US and Kenyan authorities or

   6   just Kenyan authorities?

   7   A.  I don't know.

   8   Q.  Did you see Mrs. Odeh at the location where Mr. Odeh was

   9   being questioned?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  When you saw Mrs. Odeh, was she in US custody or was she

  12   in Kenyan custody?

  13   A.  At that -- nobody was in US custody at that time.  We

  14   still didn't even know that they were even coming back to the

  15   United States.  She was brought to Nairobi, so I guess she was

  16   in Kenyan custody, or --

  17   Q.  When you saw her, were any American officials standing

  18   next to her?

  19   A.  When I saw her.  No, I was in a room -- I talked to her.

  20   Q.  OK.  So you interviewed Mrs. Odeh.

  21   A.  Yes, I did.

  22   Q.  All right.  Did you tell Mohamed Odeh his wife was at the

  23   precinct being interviewed?  No.  Right?

  24   A.  He knew, but I don't know when I told him.

  25   Q.  I'm not asking about when he knew.  First question is, did

                               Anticev - cross

   1   you tell Mr. Odeh that his wife was at the precinct?

   2   A.  I don't remember if I did or not.

   3   Q.  Was Mrs. Odeh, when you saw her was his wife pregnant?

   4   A.  She might have been.  I think so.

   5   Q.  Did you ever allow Mr. Odeh to speak to his wife when he

   6   was at the precinct?

   7   A.  I didn't make arrangements for him to or not to.  That

   8   wasn't my call.

   9   Q.  Did it happen?

  10   A.  I don't know.

  11   Q.  Did it happen during 11 days that Mr. Odeh was in your

  12   presence?

  13   A.  I don't remember.  I think he might have spoke to his

  14   wife.  I'm not really sure.

  15   Q.  Listen.  I will ask the question again.  While you were

  16   interviewing Mr. Odeh over the 11-day period, was there ever

  17   occasion when you took a time out and allowed Mr. Odeh to

  18   speak to his wife?  Yes or no.

  19            MR. FITZGERALD:  Objection to form, Judge.

  20            THE COURT:  I won't require a yes or no answer.

  21   Q.  Explain.

  22            THE COURT:  You may answer.

  23   A.  I don't remember.  I vaguely remember he might have talked

  24   to his wife, but it's not sticking out in my --

   1   opportunity to speak to his wife?

   2   A.  No.

   3   Q.  Is it in your notes that he had an opportunity to speak to

   4   his wife?

   5   A.  I don't know.

   6   Q.  Did you review your notes before you testified?

   7   A.  I reviewed them briefly.  I was reviewing the other

   8   document mostly.

   9   Q.  Isn't it true that Mr. Odeh was kept in communicado for

  10   approximately 12 days?

  11   A.  I guess so, yes.  I interviewed him and he was brought

  12   back.  I didn't give him any access to a phone.  I didn't do

  13   any of that.

  14   Q.  You didn't give him access to a phone and you didn't let

  15   him speak to his wife either; isn't that right?

  16   A.  About the wife part I really don't remember, but I know he

  17   wasn't out there talking to people.

  18   Q.  All right.  But Mr. Odeh was upset and concerned about his

  19   wife's condition.  He did express that to you, isn't that

  20   correct?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  That's in your notes, right?

  23   A.  OK.

  24   Q.  During the 11 days that Mr. Odeh was questioned, was any

  25   of the interview tape recorded?

   3   A.  I don't recall anything about having a tape recorder,

   4   asking for a tape recorder.

   5   Q.  Didn't ask for it, right?

   6   A.  Mr. Odeh?

   7   Q.  You.  You didn't ask for a tape recorder, right?

   8   A.  No.

   9   Q.  And you didn't bring one from America either.

  10   A.  No.

  11   Q.  And Mombasa, Nairobi is a pretty big city; isn't that

  12   correct?

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  Stores, streetcars, right?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  You could buy a tape recorder anywhere, right?

  17   A.  Right.

  18   Q.  Did you go out to buy a tape recorder to record and

  19   memorialize this 11 days of statements by Mr. Odeh?

  20   A.  What's the question?

  21   Q.  Did you go out and buy a tape recorder to record the 11

  22   days of interviews by Mr. Odeh?

  23   A.  No.

  24   Q.  What you did was, you wrote a report, right?

   2   interviews took place, right?

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  And you relied upon your memory and your notes to write

   5   your report; isn't that correct?

   6   A.  Yes.  My notes were pretty extensive.  My memory is not

   7   that good.  I took very detailed notes.

   8   Q.  During the interviews -- your Honor, I just have a few

   9   more questions.  I think I'm going to get there.

  10            During the interviews that took place -- withdrawn.

  11            When you prepared your report, your report is not a

  12   question by question, answer by answer memorial of what was

  13   said and how it was answered; isn't that right?

  14   A.  No, right.

  15   Q.  It's an overview of what was said, right?

  16   A.  My report reflects in order how the interview went.  If

  17   you took my report and took my notes, you can almost follow

  18   it.  My report reflects in the order the information was

  19   obtained.

  20   Q.  Mr. Odeh's native language is not English; isn't that

  21   correct?

  22   A.  Yes.

  23   Q.  But during the 11-day interview, you never used an

  24   interpreter, correct?

  25   A.  Correct.

   3   Q.  And I think that you indicated to us that sometimes you

   4   would have to ask a question a couple of times.

   5   A.  Yes.

   6   Q.  Was Mr. Odeh able to grasp the subtle nuances of the

   7   English language while you were talking to him?

   8   A.  Yes, and I kept my English very basic.  I've done lots of

   9   interviews with people who don't speak that well English,

  10   English like myself, and I kept it very simple.

  11   Q.  When Mr. Odeh was placed on a plane to come to the United

  12   States, did you travel with him?

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  When Mr. Odeh got on the airplane to go to the United

  15   States, he was read his rights again; isn't that correct?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  But when he was read his rights on the plane coming to the

  18   United States, there was an interpreter there; isn't that

  19   right?

  20   A.  I am sorry.

  21   Q.  There was an interpreter there, isn't that correct?

  22   A.  Well, I don't remember if there was.

  24   airplane were read to him in both English and Arabic?

   1   in -- we touched down -- when we left Nairobi we touched down

   2   in Cairo, and I was told that I had to ask him another

   3   question, and then a US representative met me on the plane and

   4   I really don't recall if that was told to him in Arabic or

   5   not.

   6   Q.  That US representative told you it might be a good idea if

   7   we have this done in English and Arabic; isn't that right?

   8   A.  I don't remember.

   9   Q.  You have no recollection?

  10   A.  If it's in my 302 or in my notes, I can refresh my memory.

  11   But right now, asking me that question, I don't remember.

   1            Does that refresh your recollection as to whether or

   2   not he was given his advice of rights in English and Arabic,

   3   having read your own report to you?

   4   A.  OK.  That might have been -- also in the FBI we have

   5   advice of rights forms written in both -- in most languages.

   6   So I probably gave it to him in English and Arabic.

   7   Q.  Probably --

   8   A.  Yes, we did.  If that's what I said, that's what happened.

   9   Q.  But during the 11 days that he was in Kenya, he didn't

  10   have a lawyer, right?

  11   A.  Right.

  12   Q.  And he didn't have an Arabic interpreter either.

  13   A.  Right.

  14   Q.  He spoke to you based on what you told him his rights

  15   would be and were; isn't that correct?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  You, I take it, took steps to ensure that the interviews

  18   took place in an area that was free of intimidation and fear.

  19   A.  Yes, I think we did.

  20   Q.  You are generally a very quiet-spoken person.  The

  21   interviews that took place between you and Mr. Odeh, were they

  22   sort of in the voice that you are using here today?

  23   A.  Most of the time.

  24   Q.  And Mr. Odeh's responses to you, was he loud-spoken,

  25   making speeches, or were they conversations?

                               Anticev - cross

   1   A.  No, very conversational.

   2   Q.  When Mr. Odeh was taken into custody, he had hundreds of

   3   dollars on his person, when he was brought back to Kenya;

   4   isn't that right?

   5   A.  Yes.

   6   Q.  When you was explaining to Mr. Odeh that he was the boss

   7   and he could stop the interviews at any time, did you tell

   8   Mr. Odeh we can't, the Kenyans can't give you a lawyer but if

   9   you want, you can use your money and go out and hire a lawyer?

  10   Did you tell him that he could hire a lawyer?

  11   A.  No.

  12   Q.  During the interviews with Mr. Odeh, you learned that

  13   Mr. Odeh had joined Al Qaeda with the proviso that he would

  14   only follow orders that were Islamically correct; isn't that

  15   right?

  16   A.  That's what he told me.

  17   Q.  And you learned that although Mr. Odeh was a member of Al

  18   Qaeda and was in the presence of others who actually bombed

  19   the U.S. Embassy, Mr. Odeh denied any involvement in the

  20   planning or bombing of that embassy where all of those people

  21   lost their lives and those people were injured; isn't that

  22   right?

  23   A.  Yes.

  24            MR. RICCO:  I have no further questions -- I am

  25   sorry, your Honor.  I am being called by counsel.  Your Honor,

   8   indication to the government.

   9            THE COURT:  Who goes next.

  10            MR. COHN:  I will.  Despite the fact that I said I

  11   wouldn't, I was about to advise the court.  I will be very

  12   short.

  13            THE COURT:  And Mr. Ruhnke?  So it will be Mr. Cohn

  14   and Mr. Dratel.  We will break till quarter after 2.

  23   CROSS-EXAMINATION (continued)

  24   BY MR. RICCO:

  25   Q.  Agent Anticev, I have a couple more questions that I


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1739
       12slbin4
                            Anticev - cross/Ricco

   1   wanted to go over with you.

   2            The first thing I want to do is go to a part in your

   3   direct examination testimony where you were talking about

   4   Mr. Odeh related to you a conversation about how groups

   5   approach an operation, okay?  And I think that you told us

   6   that they approach it with two separate groups, right?  One

   7   group that plans and another group that executes?

   8   A.  Yes.

   9   Q.  Okay.  During the second part when he was explaining the

  10   second group, he indicated to you that oftentimes the people

  11   who will be a part of that second group are people who are

  12   viewed as being expendable, is that the term that he used?

  13   A.  He didn't use the word "expendable," but he said that

  14   these people had less skills to offer al Qaeda than the first

  15   group.

  16   Q.  Okay.  Now, I had asked you this question earlier, and

  17   this relates to this whole term about this proviso that, I'm

  18   involved as long as things are Islamically correct, okay?  Did

  19   you ever ask Mr. Odeh, what do you mean by that, Islamically

  20   correct?  Did you guys ever have a dialogue about what that

  21   meant?

  22   A.  No.  For "Islamically correct," no.

  23   Q.  This morning I asked you questions about when Mr. Odeh

  24   went to Somalia and I asked you, did he say to you when we

  25   went to Somalia we were training the tribe's that were against


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1740
       12slbin4
                            Anticev - cross/Ricco

   1   Aideed, and I think you told me that's not what he said.

   2   A.  No, I didn't get it from my talking to him that the tribes

   3   he was training was -- were against Aideed.

   4   Q.  Okay.  I would like to show you what has been marked as

   5   3507-2, and I'm going to show you a page from it and ask if it

   6   refreshes your recollection about this conversation about the

   7   tribes being against Aideed, if it refreshes your

   8   recollection.

   9            Have you had a chance to read that?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  And the document that I am referring to, those were your

  12   own handwritten notes, right?

  13   A.  Yes.

  14   Q.  Okay.  Isn't it a fact that Mr. Odeh told you that when he

  15   went to Somalia, he went there and they would train

  16   individuals who were in tribes who were against Aideed?

  17   A.  No.

  18   Q.  That's not what your notes say?

  19   A.  Can you point out to me?  Because maybe I'm not seeing it,

  20   counsel.

  21            MR. RICCO:  Can I approach the witness, your Honor?

  22            THE COURT:  Yes.

  23   Q.  "These groups were against" --

  24            THE COURT:  Please don't read.

   1   A.  Yes, okay, I see it now.

   2   Q.  So he did tell you that?

   3   A.  I guess he did.

   4   Q.  You didn't make that up, did you?

   5   A.  No.

   6            MR. RICCO:  I have no further questions.  Thank you

   7   very much, your Honor.

   8            THE COURT:  Very well.

   9            MR. COHN:  Not from me, your Honor.

  10            MR. DRATEL:  Just a couple, your Honor.

  11            THE COURT:  On behalf of defendant El Hage,

  12   Mr. Dratel.

  14   BY MR. DRATEL:

  15   Q.  Good afternoon, Agent Anticev.

  16   A.  Good afternoon.

  17   Q.  Mr. Odeh also told you -- withdrawn.  As you just were

  18   shown in your notes, Mr. Odeh told you that these groups that

  19   he was training were fighting Aideed, correct?

  20   A.  Yes, my notes reflect that.

  21   Q.  Yes.  And your notes were taken at the time that Mr. Odeh

  22   was actually speaking to you?

  23   A.  Yes.

  24   Q.  And your report, which is Government Exhibit 6, was taken

  25   from your notes, correct?

                           Anticev - cross/Dratel

   1   A.  Yes.

   2   Q.  The fact that something appears in your notes but doesn't

   3   appear in your report doesn't mean it didn't occur, correct?

   4   A.  Yes.

   5   Q.  And your notes are accurate, correct?

   6   A.  To the best of my ability when I was doing it.

   7   Q.  Did Mr. Odeh also tell you that the tribe that he was

   8   training was the same tribe as that of Siad Barre?

   9   A.  I don't recall.

  10            MR. DRATEL:  If I may I approach the witness, your

  11   Honor?

  12            THE COURT:  Same tribe that?  I didn't hear the end

  13   of your question.

  14            MR. DRATEL:  Excuse me, your Honor?

  15            THE COURT:  I didn't hear the end of your question.

  16   BY MR. DRATEL:

  17   Q.  The end of the question was, didn't Mr. Odeh tell you

  18   during your interview with Mr. Odeh that the tribe that he was

  19   training was the tribe of Siad Barre?

  20   A.  That's a person.  I don't recall the person's name.

  21            MR. DRATEL:  If I may approach, your Honor?

  22            THE COURT:  Yes.

  23   Q.  I show you what has been marked as 3507-2, and these are

  24   your contemporaneous notes, correct?

  25   A.  Yes.

   1   Q.  And just ask you to look at this section right here.

   2   A.  Okay.

   3   Q.  And does that say "the same tribe as Siad Barre"?

   4   A.  Yes.

   5   Q.  On direct you testified about Abu Hafs making a visit to

   6   Mogadishu as a businessman in 1993, correct?

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  And in fact, sometime during that period Mr. -- well,

   9   Mr. Odeh told you that sometime during that period he and four

  10   others moved to a camp in the Ogaden, correct?

  11   A.  Yes.

  12   Q.  And that Abu Hafs came back through that camp after his

  13   visit to Mogadishu?

  14   A.  Yes.

  15   Q.  And you testified that then Saleh came through the camp

  16   and told Mr. Odeh that he had been in Mogadishu fighting the

  17   U.N.?

  18            MR. FITZGERALD:  Objection, your Honor.

  19   Q.  Did you testify that Saleh had told Mr. Odeh that he had

  20   been fighting the U.N.?

  21   A.  Saleh?  He's -- Odeh is telling me what happened to him in

  22   Somalia.

  23   Q.  Yes.

  24   A.  And he saw Saif al Adel come back -- I'm sorry, Abu Hafs

  25   come back in Mogadishu and take over from Saif al Adel.

   1   Q.  After Abu Hafs, you testified that someone else came back

   2   and said that they had been --

   3   A.  Oh, yes, a person named Daoud.

   4   Q.  Abu Daoud?

   5   A.  Daoud.

   6   Q.  Came through the same camp in Ogaden after that?

   7   A.  Yes.

   8   Q.  Just with respect to your notes, you have no doubt if you

   9   put it down that that occurred during the interview, correct?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11            MR. DRATEL:  Nothing further, your Honor.

  12            THE COURT:  Anything further of this witness --

  17   REDIRECT EXAMINATION

  18   BY MR. FITZGERALD:

  19   Q.  Agent Anticev, you just referenced a person by the name of

  20   Daoud.  What did Odeh tell you about who Daoud was, or Abu

  21   Daoud?

  22   A.  He was somebody that just had been returning from

  23   Mogadishu and came through the camp and stated that he had

  24   partaken in actions against the U.N. and the U.S. and that

  25   they were leaving Mogadishu.

   1   Q.  And did Odeh indicate to you whether or not Abu Daoud was

   2   a member of al Qaeda?

   3   A.  No.

   4   Q.  Let me show you another copy of your notes which was

   5   marked, I believe, 3507-2, and I ask you to look at the --

   6   A.  I'm sorry, yes.

   7   Q.  Does that refresh your recollection whether or not Odeh

   8   told you whether Abu Daoud was part of al Qaeda?

   9   A.  Yes.

  10   Q.  What did he tell you?  Was he part of al Qaeda?

  11   A.  Yes, according to the notes.  I must have left that out of

  12   my report.  I just had Daoud in my report.

  13   Q.  Now, you were asked questions about Mr. Odeh's custody

  14   during the time that you interviewed him.  In whose custody

  15   was Mr. Odeh from August 15th prior to the time he was taken

  16   to the airplane?

  17   A.  From --

  18   Q.  From August, when you were interviewing him in Nairobi, in

  19   whose custody was he in?

  20   A.  He was in Kenyan custody.

  21   Q.  And during that time was there ever an occasion when you

  22   were alone with him in a room without any Kenyan officers

  23   there?

  24   A.  Yes.

  25   Q.  Did he ever indicate to you during that time that he was

   1   physically mistreated by the Kenyans?

   2   A.  No.

   3   Q.  Did he ever look like he was physically mistreated?

   4   A.  No.

   5   Q.  During that time that he was being interviewed was he ever

   6   in handcuffs?

   7   A.  No.

   8   Q.  You were asked questions about when it was that you saw

   9   his wife in the police building.  Was she in custody --

  10   whatever custody she was in, was she in custody on the first

  11   day, August 15, when the advice of rights was given to

  12   Mr. Odeh?

  13   A.  No.

  14   Q.  You were asked questions about whether or not you tape

  15   recorded the interview of Mr. Odeh.  In your 13 years in the

  16   FBI, have you ever tape recorded an interview, even in

  17   America?

  18   A.  No.

  19   Q.  And you were asked questions about whether or not Mr. Odeh

  20   told you that there was a discussion in al Qaeda as to whether

  21   or not Usama Bin Laden had the right to declare war on

  22   America, and you were shown a document to refresh your

  23   recollection.

  24            Let me show you that same document that you looked at

  25   prior.  It's Government Exhibit 6 and it's page 13 and the

   4   A.  Okay.

   5   Q.  Is it your recollection of the conversation Odeh had with

   6   you, describing his conversation about the declaration of war,

   7   did he indicate that al Qaeda was concerned that Usama Bin

   8   Laden did not have the moral right to declare war on America,

   9   or was the concern that they were taking on an enemy too

  10   strong?

  11   A.  That they were taking on an enemy too strong.

  12   Q.  And my question then is, with regard to Mr. Odeh

  13   indicating his being upset and angry that a number of people

  14   were killed, isn't it fair to say that Mr. Odeh did say that

  15   he was upset that the bomb had deflected and affected many

  16   buildings around the embassy and killed many people?

  17   A.  Yes.

  18   Q.  Did he ever indicate that he was concerned or upset that

  19   Americans in the embassy had been killed?

  20   A.  No.

  21            MR. FITZGERALD:  Thank you.

  22            MR. RICCO:  Judge, I have a couple.

  23            THE COURT:  Yes.

  24   RECROSS-EXAMINATION

  25   BY MR. RICCO:


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1748
       12slbin4
                           Anticev - recross/Ricco

   1   Q.  Mr. Fitzgerald just asked you questions as to whether or

   2   not he expressed any concern that Americans were killed.

   3            Isn't it a fact that Mr. Odeh didn't make any

   4   distinction between Americans or Kenyans; he was upset that

   5   the people were killed, isn't that right?

   6   A.  I don't know what he was thinking when he made that

   7   statement.

   8   Q.  Made what statement, that he was concerned that many

   9   people were killed?

  10   A.  I truly believe he was concerned that people were killed,

  11   innocent people were killed.

  12   Q.  So my question was a simple question:  He never made a

  13   distinction to you that he was concerned because they were

  14   only Kenyan or not Americans, did he?  That was never said by

  15   him, was it?

  16   A.  No, he never specifically said that he broke it down, I'm

  17   upset Kenyans are killed and Americans are, are not.

  18   Q.  And when Mr. Fitzgerald asked you the questions about

  19   United States being too powerful and whether or not the term

  20   "right" was used, your report in evidence says the following:

  21   "Odeh talked to Mustafa about Bin Laden declaring war against

  22   American people in his last two fatwahs.  They discussed if al

  23   Qaeda was right in doing this.  They were concerned if they

  24   were ready to face such an enemy."

  25            When Mr. Odeh said to you they were concerned if al


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1749
       12slbin4
                           Anticev - recross/Ricco

   1   Qaeda was right in doing this, did you ask Mr. Odeh what he

   2   meant by that?

   3   A.  No.

   4   Q.  Mr. Fitzgerald also asked you a question about tape

   5   recording.  Isn't it a fact that agents are trained in how to

   6   obtain a statement from a suspect?

   7   A.  I don't know what you mean.

   8   Q.  Approaching a suspect in order to question him involves a

   9   technique that you are trained in; isn't that correct?

  10   A.  I don't know what you mean.  A technical way of doing it?

  11   Paperwork wise?  How to talk to a person?

  12   Q.  I'll break it down.  Way back when you were in school

  13   learning how to be an FBI agent, one day there was a class on

  14   how to conduct an interview with a suspect, isn't that right?

  15   A.  I believe there probably was.  I don't recall any specific

  16   course that like that.

  17   Q.  So what your testimony is, is that you work for the

  18   Federal Bureau of Investigation and you don't recall that

  19   there was ever a class where you were instructed on how to

  20   conduct an interview with a suspect, is that what you're

  21   telling the jury?

  22   A.  No, we learned how to conduct, how to -- they can't teach

  23   you how to talk to somebody.  They teach you, when you do talk

  24   to somebody, how the paperwork is done on this after you do

  25   the interview and how to save your notes and preserve your


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1750
       12slbin4
                           Anticev - recross/Ricco

   1   notes and -- there are other courses outside of Quantico

   2   called In Services when you go back and there might be

   3   specific courses on interview interrogation.

   4   Q.  You have take one of those courses?

   5   A.  I did as, now that -- I did take a course on that.  Can I

   6   explain what I learned?  No.

   7   Q.  Of course you can explain.  Of course you can explain.

   8            The question is, didn't you learn that there are

   9   techniques to getting a statement from a suspect?

  10   A.  I don't know of any technique that I learned from the FBI

  11   on how to get a confession or an interview or anything out of

  12   a subject.

  13   Q.  Firstly, somebody had to tell you that you got to read

  14   them their rights, right?

  15   A.  Well, that we learned in basic legal courses in Quantico,

  16   not in the interviewing course, or whatever you want to call

  17   it.

  18   Q.  You have heard of the term "good cop, bad cop"?

  19   A.  Yeah, I've heard that term.

  20   Q.  That's a law enforcement technique, right?

  21   A.  I never learned good cop, bad cop techniques in the FBI.

  22   Q.  Okay.  I'll get back to the specific point that Mr.

  23   Fitzgerald raised about the tape recording.

  24            Your testimony is that in the 13 years that you have

  25   been an agent, you have never recorded an interview, tape


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1751
       12slbin4
                          Anticev - recross/Dratel

   1   recorded an interview, right?

   2   A.  Right.

   3   Q.  Have you ever heard of an interview being tape recorded in

   4   your 13 years with the FBI?

   5            MR. FITZGERALD:  Objection to form.  By whom?

   6            THE COURT:  Yes.

   7   Q.  By the FBI?

   8   A.  I can't think of any, and I've never been involved in one.

   9   Q.  Have you ever heard of a video confession being extracted

  10   by the FBI in your 13 years of being with the bureau?

  11   A.  I don't have any direct experience or any direct knowledge

  12   of anybody whose ever done it, or I've never been involved in

  13   one.

  14            MR. RICCO:  Thank you very much.  No further

  15   questions, your Honor.  Thank you.

  16            THE COURT:  Anything further of this witness?

  17            MR. FITZGERALD:  Just one.

  18            MR. DRATEL:  Yes, your Honor.

  19   RECROSS-EXAMINATION

  20   BY MR. DRATEL:

  21   Q.  When Daoud came through the camp in Ogaden, Mr. Odeh told

  22   you that Abu Daoud or Daoud told him that he had been

  23   participating actually against the U.N. in Mogadishu; isn't

  24   that correct?

  25   A.  I believe it was U.N. and U.S.

                                                                1752
       12slbin4
                          Anticev - recross/Dratel

   1   Q.  Let me show you what has been marked as 3507-2, your

   2   contemporaneous notes again.  I just ask you to read the part

   3   from here to here, that paragraph, and then tell me when you

   4   have finished.

   5   A.  Okay.

   6   Q.  Thank you.  Isn't it a fact that Mr. Odeh told you that

   7   the U.N.?

   8   A.  Yes, it says U.N. there.

   9   Q.  It only says U.N.?

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  In fact, exhibit Government Exhibit 6, if you read the

  12   last statement, the last sentence of this paragraph, please.

  13            (Pause)

  14   A.  Same thing.

  15   Q.  Just says U.N., correct?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  And that's what Mr. Odeh told you, correct?

  18   A.  Yes.

  19            MR. DRATEL:  No further questions.

  20            MR. FITZGERALD:  Nothing further.

  21            THE COURT:  Thank you, Agent.  You may step down.

  22            (Witness excused)

  23            THE COURT:  Government may proceed with the next

  24   order of business.

  25            MR. KARAS:  Yes, Judge.  At this time we would like

   4   between the United States of America and the defendants, with

   5   the consent of their attorneys, as follows:

   6            "If called as a witness, a government computer

   7   forensics analyst would testify that on August 21, 1997, he

   8   made, using commercially available software, a mirror image of

   9   the laptop computer previously received in evidence as

  10   Government Exhibit 300.

  11            "A mirror image is an electronic copy of the data

  12   stored on the hard drive of the subject computer, in this

  13   case, the laptop computer identified as Government Exhibit

  14   300.

  15            "The government computer forensics analyst thereafter

  16   provided a copy of the mirror image to Special Agent Daniel J.

  17   Coleman from the Federal Bureau of Investigation on August 21,

  18   1997."

  19            The mirror image is marked as Government Exhibit

  20   300Z, and this stipulation --

  21            MR. RICCO:  I didn't hear you.

  22            MR. KARAS:  Z, as in zebra, and this stipulation is

  23   marked as Government Exhibit 43.  And your Honor, at this time

  11   A.  Yes, I have.

  12   Q.  Can you tell us a little bit about that.

  13   A.  With just the forensics, or did you want the entire

  14   diatribe of classes I have taken?

  15   Q.  If you could summarize the completions of certification

  16   before you became an FBI agent and then we'll talk about FBI

  17   certification.

  18   A.  As employed as a computer specialist at Oppenheimer, I

  19   stock several courses that data general offered to familiarize

  20   myself with their operating system.

  21   Q.  And now if you could tell us a little bit about the

  22   certifications you have completed as part of your work with

  23   the FBI.

  24   A.  Starting in April of 1998 I took a DOS seizure course

  25   provided by the International Association of Computer


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1757
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   Investigative Specialists.

   2   Q.  If you could just tell us what DOS is.

   3   A.  DOS is a Disk Operating System for Intel-based computers.

   4   Q.  Did you take any field examiner training with the FBI?

   5   A.  Starting in July, I took -- the laboratory division down

   6   at headquarters provided a two-week course in field

   7   examination for PC-based computers.

   8   Q.  Can you tell us about some of the other courses you have

   9   taken with the FBI?

  10   A.  Well, in addition to the field examiner for PCs, in

  11   February of '99 I took the Macintosh examiners certification

  12   as well.

  13   Q.  Is there a requirement that you be annually certified for

  14   both DOS and Macintosh?

  15   A.  There is.

  16   Q.  And are you up to date on that?

  17   A.  I am.

  18   Q.  Directing your attention to April of 1999, were you asked

  19   to make a mirror image of an Apple Macintosh Power Book

  20   computer?

  21   A.  Yes, I was.

  22            MR. KARAS:  Can I approach the witness, your Honor?

  23            THE COURT:  Yes.

  24   Q.  Agent Crisalli, I have handed you what has been marked in

  25   evidence as Government Exhibit 300.  Do you recognize that?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1758
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   A.  Yes, I do.

   2   Q.  Can you tell us what it is?

   3   A.  It's an Apple Macintosh Power 140 Notebook.

   4   Q.  And did you make a mirror image off of that particular

   5   laptop?

   6   A.  Yes, I did.

   7   Q.  Did you make a notation on that laptop yourself?

   8   A.  Yes.  On the bottom of the laptop I put the Q number and

   9   my initials.

  10   Q.  Can you tell us how it is you went about making the mirror

  11   image off of that laptop computer?

  12   A.  Well, the first step in any examination is to ensure that

  13   the evidence, the hard drive in this case, is not touched or

  14   modified in any way.  To do that in the Macintosh world, we

  15   place an external zip drive on the SCSI chain connected to the

  16   notebook.

  17   Q.  Can I just stop you there.  If you can tell the jury what

  18   a SCSI chain is?

  19   A.  SCSI stands for small commuter system interface and it is

  20   a mechanism by which you can connect external devices to a

  21   laptop or a desktop and you can add up to six devices to one

  22   machine, whether it be a hard drive or CD-ROM or something of

  23   that nature.

  24   Q.  Please continue.

  25   A.  So from the zip drive I attach an external needle optical


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1759
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   drive, which is kind of like a large-capacity floppy disk.

   2   Inside the zip drive I will place a trusted operating system,

   3   an operating system that I have made up that contains

   4   utilities that I will need to image the hard drive.

   5   Q.  And then what do you do when you have those mechanisms in

   6   place?

   7   A.  Once everything is in place, then I will boot the computer

   8   while holding down the command key, the shift key, the Apple

   9   key and the delete key, and what that enables me to do is to

  10   boot the machine in reverse SCSI order.  Typically when you

  11   boot a computer it looks for the hard drive and it expects to

  12   see a device zero on the SCSI chain, and what I'm telling the

  13   computer to do is to ignore the zero, start at the other end

  14   and look for a boot disk.

  15   Q.  What is the purpose in doing that?

  16   A.  What I can tell is that my operating system, system, my

  17   trusted OS, will be found first by the computer and it will

  18   boot from that disk and it won't have to touch the one that's

  19   in the laptop.

  20   Q.  Okay.  Please continue.

  21   A.  Once the computer comes up with my operating system and my

  22   utilities, I can then make an image of the hard drive using a

  23   utility called FWB Tool Kit, and what that does is that allows

  24   me to take all the information that's stored on the hard drive

  25   in the notebook and transfer it to my external mag needle

                                                                1760

   1   optical disk.

   2   Q.  The FWB Tool Kit you mentioned, is that something that is

   3   commercially available?

   4   A.  Yes, it is.

   5   Q.  Now, were you able to make a mirror image off Government

   6   Exhibit 300?

   7   A.  Yes, I was.

   8   Q.  And can you tell the jury precisely what it means to make

   9   a mirror image, what is it you are copying?

  10   A.  I am copying every piece of information that's on that

  11   hard drive.  When we see a mirror image, it's almost

  12   synonymous as if you are looking in the mirror and what you

  13   see is the exact duplicate of yourself.

  14            What I'm doing is I'm taking everything that's on the

  15   subject hard drive and I'm placing it exactly as it was on my

  16   mag needle optical disk.

  17   Q.  And the purpose of going through this exercise is?

  18   A.  To make sure I capture all of the information that's on

  19   there and to make sure that the hard drive is not touched when

  20   the examination is being done.

  21   Q.  Now after you made the mirror image in this case, what did

  22   you do with the mirror image?

  23   A.  After the image was complete, then I will turn the machine

  24   off because I no longer need it.  I will take that mag needle

  25   optical disk and I will place it into my exam Macintosh

   1   machine after I write-protected the hard drive.

   2   Q.  Can you tell us what you mean by "write protect"?

   3   A.  Well, the mag needle optical disk itself has a couple of

   4   tabs, sort of like a VCR tape.  If you pull the tab off the

   5   VCR tape, you can't record over it again.  It's similar to

   6   that.  Again, once I do that, I don't have any fear of

   7   touching the data on that hard drive.

   8   Q.  After you write-protected the disk, what did you do next?

   9   A.  I brought it up in my exam machine, at which point I could

  10   make directory listings, I could extract recover deleted

  11   files, I could view invisible files, things of that nature,

  12   and then I could create CD-ROMs based upon that information.

  13   Q.  Did you make a copy of the mirror image you had made?

  14   A.  I made several copies.

  15   Q.  And you made those on CD-ROM?

  16   A.  Yes, I did.

  17            MR. KARAS:  May I approach, your Honor?

  18            THE COURT:  Yes.

  19   Q.  Agent Crisalli, I have put before you Government Exhibit

  20   300T.  If you can tell us what that is.

  21   A.  Government Exhibit 300T is one of the CD-ROMs that I

  22   imaged that I made from that notebook.

  23   Q.  Did you initial and date?

  24   A.  It is initialed and dated, correct.

  25            MR. KARAS:  Your Honor, at this time we move

   2            THE COURT:  Received.

   3            (Government Exhibit 300T received in evidence)

   4   BY MR. KARAS:

   5   Q.  After you made the copies, you mentioned earlier that you

   6   would go into the image to start retrieving the files?

   7   A.  That's correct.

   8   Q.  Generally speaking, what type of files did you see in the

   9   copy that you made?

  10   A.  Well, right off the bat you see what's called visible

  11   files.  Operating system files, icons, help files, things of

  12   that nature are all visible.  In addition to that, you can

  13   retrieve delete files, files that have been deleted from the

  14   operating system but still reside on the hard drive.  And the

  15   third options are invisible files that are files that have

  16   been made invisible so that they can't be seen unless

  17   extraordinary measures are taken.

  18   Q.  Can you explain for us what you mean by a deleted file?

  19   A.  A deleted file is usually a file that the user does not

  20   want on his hard drive anymore, and in the Macintosh

  21   environment there is a two-step process by which you can

  22   delete a file.  The first step would be to drag it to the

  23   trash bin, which is a small little icon of a garbage pail

  24   that's typically on the bottom right-hand side of the screen.

  25   Once it's there, it can be retrieved again by the user if he


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1763
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   decides that he made a mistake when he deleted it.

   2            The next step would be to empty the recycle bin,

   3   which is another step that you can take.  It's a little menu

   4   item that you can bring down.  Once it's removed from the

   5   recycle bin, then the user can no longer retrieve it unless he

   6   uses a third-party program.

   7   Q.  If a file is deleted, can you just explain electronically

   8   what happens with a deleted file on the hard drive?

   9   A.  Well, to put it simply, you can consider your hard drive

  10   like a filing cabinet and then there's a part of that hard

  11   drive that is kind of like a card index.  And the card, what's

  12   on the card index is the exact location in the filing cabinet

  13   of where the files are located.  So when you delete a file,

  14   you take just the card index and you throw that away, but the

  15   files themself also still remain in that filing cabinet or, in

  16   this case, they still remain on the hard drive.

  17   Q.  Can a delete file stay on a hard drive forever, or is

  18   there a process by which it can be erased forever?

  19   A.  Well, once the operating system has designated that the

  20   space is available, in other words, it knows that there is a

  21   space available in that card file, it can choose to put more

  22   data in those locations.  The longer the hard drive is used,

  23   the less likely that files will remain in there because they

  24   will be overwritten by the need to replace them with other

  25   files.

                                                                1764
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   Q.  You told us you were able to retrieve deleted files from

   2   this particular image.  Can you explain the process that you

   3   used to retrieve those files?

   4   A.  There is a utility called Norton's Utilities, and within

   5   Norton's Utilities there is an unerase feature, and what that

   6   does is that goes through the card catalog and sees what files

   7   have been removed recently.  And then we'll try and compare

   8   them to what's on the hard drive and give you a probability of

   9   what it can and what it can't retrieve from the hard drive.

  10   Q.  Now, you mentioned Norton Utilities.  Is that a

  11   commercially available means of retrieving deleted files?

  12   A.  Yes, it is.

  13   Q.  When you retrieved the deleted files, where did you save

  14   them?

  15   A.  Well, again, if you remember, I work off an image that's

  16   write-protected so when I want to retrieve information off of

  17   that image I can no longer save to the same image because it

  18   is write-protected.  So what I need to do is copy it off to

  19   another form of media, whether it be a floppy disk or a zip

  20   drive or another mag needle optical or something like that.

  21   Q.  You mentioned earlier that there were also invisible files

  22   on this particular hard drive?

  23   A.  Yes, most operating systems have invisible files, and the

  24   idea behind that is that there are certain files that the

  25   system absolutely, positively needs to run and if those files


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1765
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   were accidentally deleted by the user, then the operating

   2   system will no longer function.  So they hide them so that you

   3   can't see them.

   4   Q.  Are those otherwise referred to as program files?

   5   A.  Most cases, yes, they are, program or system files.

   6   Q.  Now, were there non-system or non-program files that were

   7   invisible in this hard drive?

   8   A.  Yes, there were.

   9   Q.  What types of files were those?

  10   A.  They were documents.

  11   Q.  And generally speaking, can you tell us whether or not a

  12   document can be made invisible by accident or by default?

  13   A.  No.  Typically a document, one that you bring up in a Word

  14   editor, like if you use a PC or Microsoft Word or something

  15   like that, the operating system or the program needs to see

  16   that file so that it can open it, modify it, and save it

  17   again.

  18            By definition, an invisible file cannot be seen so

  19   that, therefore, the program cannot find it to open it.  So

  20   there would be no reason for you to hide a file that you edit.

  21   Q.  In addition to retrieving files, were you able to retrieve

  22   directories of files?

  23   A.  From the deleted?

  24   Q.  From the deleted or invisible or the stored?

  25   A.  Yes, from both the invisible and the deleted files.

   2            THE COURT:  Yes.

   3   Q.  Agent Crisalli, I have placed before you the following

   4   list of exhibits:  300A-1, 300A-2, 300B, 300D, 300E, 300F,

   5   300G, 300H, 300J, 300K, 300L, 300N, 300O, 300P, 300Q, 300R,

   6   310-73A, 310-74A.  If you could just take a look at those.

   7            Can you tell us what those are?

   8   A.  These are documents that I have printed off of the image

   9   of that notebook.

  10   Q.  And did you initial and date those documents?

  11   A.  Yes, I did.

  12            MR. KARAS:  Your Honor, at this time we would offer

  13   the previously listed exhibits.

  14            THE COURT:  Received.

  15            (Government Exhibits 300A-1, 300A-2, 300B, 300D,

  16   300E, 300F, 300G, 300H, 300J, 300K, 300L, 300N, 300O, 300P,

  17   300Q, 300R, 310-73A, 310-74A received in evidence)

  18   BY MR. KARAS:

  19   Q.  Agent Crisalli, if you could turn to -- actually, recall

  20   300N for publication to counsel and the jury.

  21            If you turn to the screen to your left there, can you

  22   tell us what 300N is, sir?

  23   A.  300N is a directory listing of the hard drive contents of

  24   the notebook.

  25   Q.  And are these the visible files only?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1767
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   A.  That's right, these are the visible files only.

   2   Q.  There are four columns there at the top?

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  And the name, I take it, is either the name of the folder

   5   or the file?

   6   A.  That's correct.

   7   Q.  Could you distinguish a folder from a file for us?

   8   A.  On the folder has an icon just to the left of it that

   9   looks like one of those folders.  In fact, it looks like this.

  10            MR. SCHMIDT:  I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.

  11   A.  The folder, those items that are folders, have an icon

  12   next to them that looks like a folder, something that you see

  13   right here.  A file has an icon that will sometimes denote the

  14   program that created it, or just have a plain document or a

  15   piece of paper with a corner folded down.

  16   Q.  You see the folder there marked Adobe?

  17   A.  Yes, I do.

  18   Q.  Can you tell the jury what that is?

  19   A.  Adobe is a software company.  They make a commercial

  20   product called Photo Shop, in addition to others.  Photo Shop

  21   is a software program that allows you to view pictures and

  22   manipulate them, sort of like a desktop publisher, if you were

  23   to make a newsletter or magazine or something like that and

  24   you wanted to move around pictures with text or what have you.

  25   Q.  Do you see about halfway down that first page there the


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1768

                              Crisalli - direct

   1   file called Games?

   2   A.  Yes, I do.

   3   Q.  Now, if you want to pull up Games or any of the other

   4   files, you just double click it; is that right?

   5   A.  That's one way you can do it, that's correct.

   6   Q.  If we could pull up and publish 300R, please.

   7            Is that the Games file there, is that the same one

   8   that was in the directory?

   9   A.  Yes, it is.

  10   Q.  Did you go into that file called Games?

  11   A.  Yes, I did.

  12   Q.  What did you find?

  13   A.  That particular icon is not a game.  It's called, a

  14   program called ResEdit.

  15   Q.  What is ResEdit?

  16   A.  ResEdit stands for Resource Editor, and essentially what

  17   that is is a program that allows you to edit the resource fork

  18   of a file.

  19   Q.  Can it be used to make documents invisible?

  20   A.  Well, the resource part of your document -- there's two

  21   forks to a file, a resource fork and a data fork.  The

  22   resource fork holds the formatting codes for the file, and

  23   within that --

  24            MR. SCHMIDT:  Your Honor, I'm having trouble hearing

  25   the witness.


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1769
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1            MR. KARAS:  If you can just speak into the

   2   microphone.

   3   A.  Certainly.  The file, like I said, the file has two forks

   4   to it, resource fork and a data fork.  The resource fork holds

   5   certain formatting codes, one of which is an attribute for

   6   invisibility.

   7   Q.  Earlier when you had mentioned that files that are made

   8   invisible have to be done deliberately by the user, is this

   9   one of the programs that could be used?

  10   A.  Yes, it is.

  11   Q.  Could you tell whether or not the Games file was the

  12   original name given to that file or not?

  13   A.  In my opinion, it's not the original name of the program.

  14   Typically when you install a program, a program comes with an

  15   out-branch system.  The name of the program comes underneath

  16   the icon.

  17   Q.  If we could publish 300L, please.

  18            Agent Crisalli, could you tell us what the first page

  19   of 300L is?

  20   A.  That's a screen capture of the information window that

  21   comes up when you request information on a file.

  22   Q.  What is at the top there where it says CERTI Info?

  23   A.  Right below that is this name, SECRT is the name of the

  24   file, and to the left of it is the icon that represents that

  25   program in the directory listing.  Below that you find a


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1770
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   subject called "Kind," and what that does is describe the kind

   2   of file that it is.  In this case, it says "Ready, Set, Go

   3   Document."

   4            Below that is the size of the file in kilobytes, and

   5   below that is the location on the hard drive where the file is

   6   found.  And you will find that the Macintosh with the "HD" in

   7   parentheses is the name of the volume that was on the

   8   notebook, and then below that is the series of folders where

   9   you need to go down to find this file if you wanted to.

  10   Q.  And then below that where it says "created and modified,"

  11   can you tell us what that is?

  12   A.  The "created" is the date and time that the file was

  13   created and the "modified" is the date and time, the last time

  14   the file was changed in any way.

  15   Q.  Now, if we could publish page 3 of 300L, and is that one

  16   of the pages of the document that's called CERTI?

  17   A.  Yes, it is.

  18   Q.  And one of the documents that you were able to retrieve

  19   from the computer?

  20   A.  That's correct.

  21   Q.  And if we could publish page 2 of Exhibit 300K.  Again,

  22   Agent Crisalli, this is one of the documents you retrieved

  23   from the file of the computer?

  24   A.  Yes, it is.

  25   Q.  If we could now publish Exhibit 300P.  Agent Crisalli, if


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1771
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   you could tell us what that page is.

   2   A.  This page is similar to the other one that we had.  It's a

   3   directory listing of the contents of the hard thrive of the

   4   notebook, but this one includes invisible files.

   5   Q.  I'm sorry, is it invisible or deleted files?

   6   A.  I'm sorry, you're right.  This is the deleted file

   7   listing.

   8   Q.  Now, if you take a look to the left, the first files and

   9   folders there, there are names like "Moved" and "Rename" and

  10   "Norton."  Could you tell us what those files are?

  11   A.  Those are some of system files that both Norton's and the

  12   Macintosh operating system places on a volume when you mount

  13   it on a desktop.  The desktop, both those desktop files and

  14   the Move, Rename are placed there by the operating system.

  15   The other ones are the Norton's files.

  16   Q.  And are those files used to retrieve the deleted files?

  17   A.  They work with the program to make those files appear,

  18   correct.

  19   Q.  And so we're clear, when you retrieve and store these

  20   files, you save them on a different media?

  21   A.  Yes.

  22   Q.  And the files and folders that are listed below the folder

  23   labeled "Recovered Files," that's actually what you recovered

  24   from the mirror image?

  25   A.  Yes, everything below that was recovered as deleted.

   1   Q.  Now, if you looked to the column at the top called

   2   "Modified Date" and you see the first several files says

   3   "today, 5:30," and there are references in that column to

   4   yesterday and it gives a time, can you tell us what that

   5   means?

   6   A.  Those dates -- well, those dates are associated with the

   7   files that I used to retrieve the erased files from the hard

   8   drive so that's why they have "today's date" and in some cases

   9   "yesterday's date."

  10   Q.  And there are other modified dates in there that have

  11   actual dates.  For example, there's a reference to August 2,

  12   1997.  Can you tell us what that date represents?

  13   A.  Well, even though the file is deleted, it's still retained

  14   some of the original attributes, and what this does is it

  15   shows you that the date created and the date modified were

  16   maintained when the file was restored.

  17   Q.  Does the modified date represent the date the document was

  18   deleted?

  19   A.  No, it doesn't.

  20   Q.  If we could now publish Exhibit 300A-2.  The first page of

  21   this, Agent Crisalli, is this a similar type of information

  22   sheet that appears for the non-deleted files you discussed

  23   earlier?

  24   A.  Yes, it is.

  25   Q.  And the created date and modified date, are those affected

                                                                1773
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   by the fact that the file was deleted?

   2   A.  No, they're not.

   3   Q.  If we could now publish Exhibit 300Q.

   4            Agent Crisalli, if you could tell us what 300Q is.

   5   A.  300Q is a directory listing of the invisible files found

   6   on the hard drive.

   7   Q.  And the list on the left is the actual file names

   8   themselves?

   9   A.  That's correct.

  10   Q.  And the "Created" and "Modified" column, what do those

  11   represent?

  12   A.  Those also represent the date the file was created and the

  13   date it was last modified.

  14   Q.  And when it says "last modified," does that mean that

  15   that's the date the document was made invisible?

  16   A.  No, that's the last time any change was made to the

  17   contents of the file.

  18   Q.  If we could publish 300E, please.

  19            Agent Crisalli, do you see the image there in the top

  20   left that reads "PICT"?

  21   A.  Yes, I do.

  22   Q.  Can you tell us what that means?

  23   A.  That means that this file is some form of a picture.

  24   Q.  Within that document next to "kind," there's a reference

  25   to Photo Shop.

                              Crisalli - direct

   1   A.  It's saying that this particular file is a Photo Shop

   2   file.

   3   Q.  Does this relates to the Adobe --

   4   A.  Yes, it does.

   5   Q.  -- system that you mentioned earlier?

   6            If we could publish page 2 of 300E.

   7            Now, how would somebody get that image into the

   8   computer.

   9   A.  Well, there's two ways it could happen.  The first way

  10   would be to take it off of another form of media, like a

  11   floppy disk or a CD.  The other way would be to scan it in

  12   using a scanner.

  13   Q.  And once that image is saved in the computer, can it be

  14   manipulated or changed?

  15   A.  Yes, it can.

  16   Q.  Now, Agent Crisalli, in addition to the laptop computer,

  17   were you also asked to review some disks?

  18   A.  Some floppy disks, yes.

  19   Q.  Floppy disks, excuse me.

  20            MR. KARAS:  May I approach, your Honor?

  21            THE COURT:  Yes.

  22   Q.  Are those the disks you were asked to review?

  23   A.  Yes, they are.

  24   Q.  What type of operating system is used in connection with

  25   those disks?

                                                                1775
       12slbin4
                              Crisalli - direct

   1   A.  These seven floppies were used with an Intel-based

   2   computer.

   3   Q.  And for the record, you are referring to 310-68 through

   4   310-74?

   5   A.  That's correct.

   6   Q.  Which are marked into evidence.

   7            Were you able to retrieve documents off of -73 and

   8   -74?

   9   A.  Yes, I was.

  10   Q.  If we could publish 310-73A.  This first page of 310-73A,

  11   can you tell us what that is?

  12   A.  That's an information page that comes from Word for

  13   Windows.

  14   Q.  And the "Creation Date" and "Last Date Saved On" are --

  15   reflect the same type of information that the other

  16   information sheets reflected you talked about earlier?

  17   A.  In Macintosh, that's correct, they do.

  18   Q.  And if we could publish 310-74A.  If you could tell us

  19   what that first page is of 310-74A.

  20   A.  That's a directory listing of one of the floppies.  I

  21   believe it's 310-74.

  22   Q.  Which lists all the files on that floppy disk?

  23   A.  Which lists all the files on that floppy disk, correct.

  24   Q.  Have you seen some files where the document has an auto

  25   date function?

                                                                1776
       12slbin4
                          Crisalli - cross/Schmidt

   1   A.  Yes, I have.

   2   Q.  Can you tell us what that is?

   3   A.  The auto date function in Word allows you to place the

   4   current date and time on the top of a document or anyplace on

   5   the document so that when that document is either brought up

   6   or printed, it will be brought up or printed with today's

   7   date.

   8   Q.  Now, 310-74A, were you able to determine whether or not

   9   that disk was used in a Macintosh computer?

  10   A.  Yes, I was.  There are several files listed here,

  11   specifically, the Resource Fork and the desktop, which are

  12   synonymous with the Macintosh operating system.

  13            MR. KARAS:  No further questions.

  14            THE COURT:  Mr. Schmidt on behalf of defendant El

  15   Hage.

  16   CROSS-EXAMINATION

  17   BY MR. SCHMIDT:

  18   Q.  Good afternoon, Mr. Crisalli.

  19   A.  Good afternoon.

  20   Q.  Please feel free to correct me if I mispronounce or

  21   misstate any computer information.

  22   A.  Okay.

  23   Q.  Am I correct in understanding that the date that's listed

  24   under "Date Modified" is only the last date that something was

  25   actually done to that document?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1777
       12slbin4
                          Crisalli - cross/Schmidt

   1   A.  To the contents of that document.

   2   Q.  If I opened the document but make no changes and closed

   3   it, would the date change?

   4   A.  I believe it would, yes.

   5            THE COURT:  It would?

   6            THE WITNESS:  I believe it would.

   7   Q.  When you say "I believe it would," there seems to be a

   8   hesitation.  Can you explain why you say "I believe" as

   9   opposed to "it would"?

  10   A.  Well, I've never actually done it to see if it will do

  11   that, but it's my belief that if you opened up that document

  12   and then saved it again, that it would change the last

  13   modified date.

  14   Q.  You've work with Macintosh computers; is that correct?

  15   A.  Yes, I have.

  16   Q.  Is it your testimony that at no time you have opened up a

  17   file in a Macintosh computer and closed it just to determine

  18   if it would change the date?

  19   A.  That's correct.

  20   Q.  You indicated -- withdrawn.  If somebody uses the ResEdit

  21   program to make something invisible, do they need to open the

  22   file?

  23   A.  No, they don't.

  24   Q.  They could then just take the file that's on the hard

  25   drive, do some clicking, and make it invisible?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1778
       12slbin4
                          Crisalli - cross/Schmidt

   1   A.  Yes.

   2   Q.  So the date last modified does not indicate the date that

   3   the particular file was made invisible; is that right?

   4   A.  I'm sorry, would you just repeat that for me?

   5   Q.  The date last modified would certainly not reflect -- let

   6   me rephrase that.

   7   A.  Okay.

   8   Q.  The date last modified would not tell you the date that

   9   the particular file was made invisible; is that correct?

  10   A.  That's correct.

  11   Q.  If the date was the same for created and modified, would

  12   that tell you that that date also was the date that that

  13   document was made invisible?

  14   A.  No, if the creation date and the modified date are the

  15   same, that means that the person created the document, saved

  16   it, and never touched it again.

  17   Q.  And if the document was invisible as well, would it mean

  18   that it was made invisible on that date, or you really can't

  19   tell?

  20   A.  You really can't tell.

  21   Q.  You indicated on 300R -- that was the icon that read

  22   Games, you remember that?

  23   A.  I remember that, yes.

  24   Q.  And you said that was the ResEdit, actually, program?

  25   A.  That's correct.

                                                                1779
       12slbin4
                          Crisalli - cross/Schmidt

   1   Q.  Now, there's two icons below that, one saying "Inclosing"

   2   and one saying "Untitled."  Can you tell us what those icons

   3   are?

   4   A.  They are preferences for the program.  You can save

   5   certain settings so next time the program comes up those

   6   settings will be there.

   7   Q.  When preferences are set, you can find out the date that

   8   the preferences were set; is that right?

   9   A.  I don't think so, no.

  10   Q.  When you set preferences, aren't you doing something to a

  11   file?

  12   A.  Yes.

  13   Q.  And wouldn't the file indicate that it was modified on

  14   that date?

  15   A.  Yes.

  16   Q.  So you can determine when the last preferences were set by

  17   looking at the date last modified; is that right?

  18   A.  Okay, yeah, that sounds right.

  19   Q.  Well, I'm not the expert, you're the expert.  So am I

  20   correct in saying that?

  21   A.  Yes, I would say you're correct in saying that.

                              Crisalli - cross

   1   Q.  Do you know this if ResEdit is used, would there be

   2   something found in the hard drive that would reflect --

   3   withdrawn.  Would there be some file or something in the

   4   computer that would indicate the last time that a program like

   5   ResEdit was used?

   6   A.  If you didn't make any savings to the preferences, there

   7   would be no way.  If you made a change to your preferences

   8   during that session that the program was opened, then you

   9   could say the last time that file was used and the preferences

  10   were changed you would know when it was.  But if you used the

  11   program and you didn't use any ResEdit preferences, there

  12   would be no way of knowing when that program was last used.

  13   Q.  Looking at the -- that is the record of all files visible

  14   and invisible.

  15   A.  That is correct.

  16   Q.  Looking at that directory, can you tell us the last date

  17   that you know ResEdit was used?  By that I mean it could have

  18   been used perhaps afterwards, but it was at least the last

  19   time it was used was a particular day.

  20   A.  Looks to be August 17, 1997.

  21   Q.  Is that the last time that an invisible file was modified?

  22   A.  No, that's the last time that the preferences were

  23   changed.

  24   Q.  Could you tell me where I should look to find that.

  25   A.  Underneath the games, in closing file.

                                                                1781
       12skbin5
                              Crisalli - cross

   1   Q.  What does that actually mean, preferences, in dealing with

   2   ResEdit?

   3   A.  Every program has a set of preferences.  If I'd like to

   4   have the screen a certain size, if I'd like to have my file

   5   sorted alphabetically, expand, those are preferences.  If you

   6   want to talk about invisible files, you want to talk about

   7   attributes.

   8   Q.  I don't quite understand that.

   9   A.  Programs have preferences, files have attributes.

  10   Q.  In ResEdit, if you are making a program that was visible

  11   into invisible, would that affect the date modified in the

  12   preferences?

  13   A.  The preferences are associated with the program ResEdit.

  14   What ResEdit does is it goes into the resource fork of a file

  15   that you choose and changes an attribute.

  16   Q.  Could you give us an example of some preferences that

  17   would be changed on August 17.

  18   A.  Whatever preferences the user wanted to make a change to

  19   in the ResEdit program.

  20   Q.  It could only be in the ResEdit program?

  21   A.  That's what that file takes care of.

  22   Q.  In the ResEdit program, if -- withdrawn.

  23            Could you give us an example in the ResEdit program

  24   that deals with making files invisible, what would be an

  25   example of a change that would occur?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1782
       12skbin5
                              Crisalli - cross

   1   A.  I don't believe there would be one.  Again, a preference

   2   file will set up the way a program looks on your screen or the

   3   way it acts when you are using it.  It's a file that has a set

   4   of instructions that the program will read into and say OK,

   5   put your screen here, make your list look like this, things of

   6   that nature.  It happens whenever you bring up the program.

   7   Q.  So if you brought up ResEdit program on August 17, 1997,

   8   and you made files invisible --

   9   A.  It would have no effect on preferences.

  10   Q.  So what I am trying to find out, that since there is

  11   indication that some preference was changed on August 17, I am

  12   trying to find out what that means, what kind of thing was

  13   changed.

  14   A.  I don't know.

  15   Q.  What kind of thing could be changed that would reflect a

  16   change on August 17, 1997?

  17   A.  When I bring up the ResEdit program, and say it produces a

  18   screen listing of files and I decide that I want my files to

  19   be listed in alphabetical order, I will make a change in that

  20   program to say list my files in alphabetical file.

  21   Q.  As opposed to, say, date created.

  22   A.  By date order or picture or whatever.  When I get out of

  23   that program, that change is saved for the ResEdit program.

  24   Q.  Under that change we have 1K, one kilowatt, right?

  25   A.  Right, 1 kilowatt.  That's a thousand bytes.

                              Crisalli - cross

   1   Q.  That is very, very small, isn't it?

   2   A.  As compared to something larger?  Yes, it's small.

   3   Q.  Compared to anything in the computer.

   4            Do you know what other things could have been changed

   5   other than the order how the files come up?

   6   A.  I am not that familiar with the ResEdit program.

   7   Q.  Is there any way to find out by reviewing the program or

   8   the computer what actually was changed?

   9   A.  No.  You would have to know how the program was to begin

  10   with, to find out what was changed.

  11   Q.  It says not only was the modified date August 17, the

  12   created date was August 17.  That means any time you make a

  13   change in the ResEdit preferences, it would be created on the

  14   same day as modified.

  15   A.  No.  If you made any changes to the ResEdit program, it

  16   would have a different modified date.

  17   Q.  If you made a date to the preferences --

  18   A.  To the preferences, I am sorry.

  19   Q.  Does that mean that the only time that there might be

  20   preference changes is in untitled and closing?

  21   A.  That is correct.

  22   Q.  And untitled looks like it was created January 17, 1904.

  23   There weren't Apple or McIntosh computers in 1904.

  24   A.  I don't think there were any computers in 1904.

  25   Q.  Why does it say 1904?

   1   A.  1904 was the date that Apple chose to represent zeros in

   2   the date and time fields.  They chose that because at the time

   3   McIntosh could only track 136 years, and they figured that if

   4   you start in 1904 and go 136 years, you will encompass every

   5   McIntosh user's birthday and it will probably outlast the

   6   McIntosh system.  In addition to that, they started in 1904

   7   because 1900 wasn't a leap year.

   8   Q.  So for whatever reason, they just chose that date so if

   9   something goes wrong it shows up 1904?

  10   A.  Right, because you need a date to start with.

  11   Q.  But something has to go wrong in saving whatever it was to

  12   get to 1904.

  13   A.  Typically -- the mother board on the notebook has a

  14   battery.  That battery is what is in charge of holding the

  15   date and time while the computer is turned off.  What happens

  16   when the battery dies is that it has to fall back on

  17   something, sort of like when you pull the plug on a VCR and it

  18   starts flashing 12.

  19   Q.  I ask you to look at 300P.  There is a file under file

  20   maker that is called Appletalk.  Do you see that?

  21   A.  Yes, I do.

  22   Q.  That says June 1, 1988.  Do you see that?

  23   A.  I can't make it out on the screen.

  24            June 1, 1988, yes.

  25   Q.  How come that date came about?


                  SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS (212) 805-0300
                                                                1785
       12skbin5
                              Crisalli - cross

   1   A.  That's the date on the computer when that file was

   2   installed.

   3   Q.  So this computer was built in 1988, or approximately that

   4   date?

   5   A.  The Appletalk, that Appletalk software was written on June

   6   1, 1988.  A lot of times when you install an operating system

   7   on a computer, the system files all come the same date,

   8   typically the date that operating system was completed.  So I

   9   believe that's the date that you see there.

  10   Q.  I am looking at Government's Exhibit 300O and 300N.

  11   Actually, I withdraw that question.

  12            Actually, if you can look at Exhibit 300N on page 8.

  13   Do you see that?

  14   A.  Yes, I do.

  15   Q.  Do you see where it says ResEdit preferences?

  16   A.  Yes.

  17   Q.  Is there a reason why the ResEdit preferences on that

  18   ResEdit preference folder is there as opposed to under games?

  19   A.  There is no reason I know of.  I mean, I think this is the

  20   location where it's supposed to be.

  21   Q.  Where the location of ResEdit should be?

  22   A.  Where the location of the ResEdit preferences should be.

  23   Q.  So if somebody moved -- would it be fair to say that

  24   somebody changed the ResEdit program and called it games?

  25   A.  Could you say that again.

   1   Q.  When it was installed in the computer, it would be

   2   installed as ResEdit.

   3   A.  Yes.

   4   Q.  But it's not hard to change the name of a program by

   5   clicking around, right?

   6   A.  No, it's not hard to change at all.

   7   Q.  And it was probably changed from ResEdit to games somehow.

   8   A.  Yes.

   9   Q.  But ResEdit preferences was left there.

  10   A.  Yes.

  11   Q.  Would you be able to use ResEdit to find an invisible

  12   file?

  13   A.  Sure.

  14            MR. SCHMIDT:  I have no further questions, your

  15   Honor.

  16            THE COURT:  Anything further?

  17            MR. KARAS:  One brief question, your Honor.

  18   REDIRECT EXAMINATION

  19   BY MR. KARAS:

  20   Q.  Agent Crisalli, if you could take a look or if we could

  21   have published 300B, please.  Do you see where there is a

  22   reference to created Monday, August 27, 1956?

  23   A.  Yes, I do.

  24   Q.  Can you explain that date, please.

  25   A.  August 27, 1956, is the birthday of one of the designers

   1   of the controller board that has the battery on it that

   2   controls the date and time.  Apparently when he designed it,

   3   that's the date he used to fall back on.

   4   Q.  Is that another default date similar to the 1904 date?

   5   A.  Yes, it is.

   3            THE COURT:  What is the next order of business?

   4            MR. KARAS:  We are going to read a stipulation

   5   regarding transcripts and then we will read transcriptions

   6   from the wiretaps.

   7            THE COURT:  More wiretap?

   8            MR. KARAS:  Correct.

  10   tomorrow?

  11            MR. FITZGERALD:  If we are in the middle of documents

  12   we will finish that.  The first live witness will be Agent

  13   Leadbetter with respect to the search in Witu, and then likely

  14   we will have the testimony of the ambassador.

  15            (Jury present)

  16            MR. KARAS:  Your Honor, at this time we would propose

  17   to read the following stip marked for identification as

  18   proposed Government's Exhibit 44.

  19            It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between the

  20   United States of America and the defendants, with the consent

  21   of their attorneys, as follows:  If called to testify as a

  22   witness, a person fluent in the Arabic and English languages

  23   would testify that Government's Exhibit 300A-T is a fair and

  24   accurate English translation of Government's Exhibits 300A-1

  25   and 300A-2.  This witness would also testify that Government's

                                                                1792
       12skbin5


   1   Exhibits 300B-T, 300E-T, 300H-T, 310-73A-T, and 310-74A-T are

   2   fair and accurate English translations of Government's

   3   Exhibits 300B, 300E, 300H, 310-73A, and 310-74A respectively.

   4            If called to testify as a witness, a person fluent in

   5   the Swahili and English languages would testify that

   6   Government's Exhibit 300D-T is a fair and accurate English

   7   translation of Government's Exhibit 300D.

   8            Your Honor, at this time we would offer Government's

   9   Exhibit 44 and the exhibits listed in that stipulation.

  10            THE COURT:  Received.

  11            (Government's Exhibits 44, 300A-T, 300A-1, 300A-2,

  12   300B-T, 300E-T, 300H-T, 310-73A-T, 310-74A-T, 300B, 300E,

  13   300H, 310-73A, and 310-74A, 300D and 300D-T received in

  14   evidence)

  15            MR. KARAS:  At this time we would like to read

  16   Government's Exhibit 310-73A-T, and we are publishing it as

  17   well.

  18            (Government's Exhibit 310-73A-T in evidence read to

  19   the jury)

  20            MR. FITZGERALD:  At this time, your Honor, the

  21   government would read from the following exhibits, which are

  22   in the binders that were distributed, I believe yesterday or

  23   the day before, and Gerard Francisco and Abigail Seda will

  24   read the parts of 208A-T, which are the translations from

  25   Arabic and English, and the transcript indicates it is a

   1   transcript of a conversation occurring on January 19, 1997, at

   2   10:20.  It will also be displayed on the screen.

   3            (Government's Exhibit 208A-T read to the jury)

   4            MR. FITZGERALD:  Your Honor, at this point in time we

   5   would play Government's Exhibit 209A and 209C, which are calls

   6   in English.  We will also display on the screen the

   7   transcripts 209A-T and then later 209C-T.  As far as 209A,

   8   that is a conversation recorded on January 30, 1997, at 14:47.

   9   It reflects the participants are April El Hage and a person

  10   identified as Abu Khadija.

  11            THE COURT:  Very well.

  12            (Government's Exhibits 209A-T and 209C-T in evidence

  13   played)

  14            MR. FITZGERALD:  Your Honor, the next call will be

  15   209C, same date, January 30, 1997, at 15:22 p.m., also in

  16   English, and the participants are April El Hage and Wadih El

  17   Hage.

  18            (Government's Exhibit 209C in evidence played)

  19            MR. FITZGERALD:  Your Honor, at this time we would

  20   read 210A-T, which is a transcript of an Arabic conversation

  21   on February 4, 1997, at 16:59, and we would display the

  22   transcript from 210A-T.

  24   jury)

  25            MR. FITZGERALD:  Your Honor, there is a series of

   1   calls and your Honor will just guide me.  There are about five

   2   left.  Some are short, some are middle length.  I will stop

   3   whenever your Honor wants me to.  I am happy to proceed.

   4            THE COURT:  How long will it take to conclude them

   5   all?

   6            MR. FITZGERALD:  My guess is within a half hour.

   7            THE COURT:  A half hour is too long.  We will call it

   8   a day.  I think it has been awhile since I remind mind

   9   reminded you not to read anything about this case.  I remind

  10   you.  Have a pleasant evening, and we will return tomorrow at

  11   the usual hour.
