[quote]U.S. investigators tracked Suleiman Abu Ghaith, a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, for about 10 years before he was detained in Jordan and brought by the FBI to New York City in the past few days, U.S. officials familiar with the investigation said.
An FBI agent and a New York police detective together spent more than a decade investigating Abu Ghaith, not only for his role as a spokesman for al Qaeda after the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington but for activities they believed he was involved in before 2001, said one official.
On Friday, Abu Ghaith pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court to conspiring to kill Americans, becoming one of the highest-ranking al Qaeda figures to face trial in the United States for crimes connected to the September 11 attacks.[/quote]
I'd be surprised if all known Bin Laden relatives aren't being tracked ever since 9/11. In fact, if there's one group of people on this Earth who should know they aren't being paranoid cause they [i]are[/i] out to get you, it's his relatives. This guy probablu thought years ago "If they haven't picked me up by now, they probably don't know about me." never realizing that sometimes they'd rather just gather intel by watching and listening.
Nothing wrong with keeping tabs.
