“Abdul Basit’s life as one of America’s most-wanted men came to an end⟳ almost as suddenly as it began. His alleged co-conspirators in the World Trade⟳ Center bombing had implicated “Ramzi Yousef” when they were arrested, and the F.B.I. had on several occasions laid elaborate plans to capture⟳ him in Pakistan, but each time he had been alerted and had disappeared, either into Karachi’s un derground or across the border⟳ into Afghanistan.”
