A native of Egypt, Ali Abdelsoud Mohamed rose to the rank of major in Egypt'sspecial forces before being forced out of Egypt's military in 1984 because hewas considered a religious extremist. Much later he was identified as a secretmember of the Islamic Jihad movement that assassinated Egypt's President Sadatin 1981. According to an amazing front page story in the Wall Street Journal onNovember 26 headlined The Infiltrator, "Ali Mohamed Served In the U.S. Army- And bin Laden's Inner Circle," it is implicit that the FBI and the CIAwould have had to have knowledge of Mohamed's chameleon-like lifestyle. Mohamedwas able to obtain a visa, marry an American woman, become a U.S. citizen,settle in California and somehow become a U.S. Army sergeant by 1986. Until1989, he was a supply sergeant and lecturer on Mid-east culture at the U.S.Army's special warfare school at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, a place where hehad studied earlier as an Egyptian officer.
