Khalid Shaikh Mohammed - Dead or Alive?
Terror boss gets moved up the ladder as the US sees fit
There has been a bit of controversy surrounding the capture of latest evil-genious terrorist mastermind/boogeyman, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Many news outlets such as the Toronto Star and the Memory Hole are questioning the capture by quoting reports of his death from Asia Times. However, this analysis may be incorrect. According to TIME Magazine (October 12, 2002): "But a fingerprint check later revealed that the dead man on the floor of the Karachi apartment wasn't Mohammed."

A month after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush released a list of the world's most-wanted terrorists. There were 22 names on it. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed wasn't No. 2 or No. 3. He wasn't even in the top 10. He was No. 22. . . . . The house where the terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was arrested is in one of the least likely places to find one of the world's most wanted terrorists. Westridge, a well-to-do suburb of Rawalpindi, is a five-minute drive from the headquarters of the Pakistani army and hundreds of senior officers, including serving and retired generals, live in the area.
