Re: "There has been no further news of his specific whereabouts or sentencing but he is currently in federal custody at an unspecified location. However, the Federal Department of Prisons Inmate Locater does not show an Ali Mohamed/Mohammed/Mohamad/Muhamed/Muhammed/Muhammad or other variation currently incarcerated.[12] Patrick Briley, an American op-ed journalist writing for NewsWithViews.com, has reported that Ali Mohamed was given an early release from prison by direct order from the Bush Administration's DOJ, specifically USAG Alberto Gonzales.[13]" -- People who are in the Witness Protection Program (even while still in prison) are not listed by the Inmate Locator for reasons which should be obvious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.42.234 (talk) 19:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's sad. I would LOVE to hear an interview with the guy who trained Bin Laden. He would have some first-hand reports that no one else has. Family Guy Guy (talk) 18:25, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FBI informant/double agent

Regarding the 'citation needed' note on 'He became an FBI informant.' in the article: According to Weiner (A History of the FBI, 2012. ISBN 978-1-4000-6748-0) he was an FBI informant since 1992 ('Though his application to become a full-time translator was still pending, he was on the books as an FBI informant by 1992.', page 397). In that book Ali Mohamed is even described as Al-Quaeda 'double agent' (p. 384) who had 'penetrated' (p. 383) the FBI. Weiner closes the Ali Mohamed episode with: 'Two years later, he pleaded guilty in open court to serving as bin Laden's first deep-penetration agent in America and a key conspirator in the embassy bombings. Then the United States made him vanish; no record of his imprisonment exists. He was an embarrassment to the FBI.' (p. 404) --Gms (talk) 22:19, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
