| Quote: | Passport with 9/11 suspect's name found in Pakistan
October 30, 2009 -- Updated 0832 GMT (1632 HKT)
Said Bahaji's name was on a passport found in South Waziristan, Pakistan.
* Document shows that bearer entered Pakistan on September 4, 2001
* Said Bahaji is reported to be member of German cell that gave money to 9/11 hijackers
* Report said he lived with hijacker Mohammed Atta in Germany
* CNN has not independently confirmed passport's authenticity
Sherwangei, Pakistan (CNN) -- A passport bearing the name of Said Bahaji, a suspect linked to the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, has been found in a town captured by the Pakistani military.
The passport was found in South Waziristan, where the Pakistani military has been battling to wrest territory from the Taliban in Pakistan. It contained a Pakistani visa issued in August 2001 showing that the bearer entered Pakistan on September 4, 2001, and appeared unusually new for a document eight years old.
CNN has not independently confirmed its authenticity. |

| Quote: | Pakistani troops fighting Islamist militants in the mountains of South Waziristan have picked up the trail of a leading al-Qaeda figure wanted in connection with the attacks on America on September 11, 2001.
The Times was shown yesterday the German passport of Said Bahaji, a close associate of the September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta. The army said that it found the passport and other documents in a mud compound in the village of Shawangai.
The documents, which show that Bahaji, 34, has been in Pakistan since early September 2001, appear to provide the strongest evidence yet of a direct link between Pakistani militants and al-Qaeda’s high command.
