Fathur Rohman Al-Ghozi, an Indonesian and key al-Qaeda member operating from the Philippines. He is one of two foreign handlers of the Singapore JI cells.
A bombmaker, he had in his possession more than a ton of TNT, hundreds of detonators and more than a mile of detonating cord. The other foreign handler, a Canadian national of Kuwaiti descent, is still at large.
Yazid Sufaat, a Malaysian and another important al-Qaeda-linked operative, had already obtained and stored 4 tons of ammonium nitrate in a Malaysian town 100 miles north of Singapore.
Sufaat had housed two of the Sept. 11 bombers in Kuala Lumpur when they were en route to America for the attacks. The two handlers asked the Singaporeans to purchase another 17 tons of nitrate, bringing the total to 21 tons, for seven bombs -- each the size of the Oklahoma City bomb.
When all was ready, the two handlers were to assemble seven truck bombs and direct where they were to be placed and detonated simultaneously. (They knew that after one explosion, security would be tightened.)
The arrests of the Singapore cells thwarted the handlers' plans, which, had they succeeded, would have caused many American and Singaporean casualties and horrendous damage.
