9/9/1998

According to information in a Washington Post article on September 9, 1998, “With the help of the CTC [Counterterrorism Center], forty terrorists from the former Yugoslavia were captured and turned over to Arab governments, usually Egypt. Egyptian security is believed to have tortured, tried, and executed many of them. In this way, al Qaeda cells were quickly smashed in Albania, Bosnia, and elsewhere.”
