#1 This WaPo Update says he's a US ciizen (naturalized), born in Jordan and of Chechen descent. He was picked up because his name appears on a watch list of people trained in Afghanistan by al Qaeda. Shishani's name turned up in documents captured in Afghanistan.
Whatâs intriguing is the way that he was going to wring some cash from those checks. Any bank will put some sort of hold on a cashierâs check. He might have figured that with an existing account he could ask for perhaps a third or a quarter right away, but theyâd be after him in a day or two. Perhaps he was going to sell them for pennies on the dollar on the black market.
