A cheap Casio, the hallmark of Al Qaeda

Kuwait's Ali Abdallah Saleh, Ali Ismael Bakush Libyan, Tunisian Mabrouk Bin Abel, Algerian Ghalaab Bashir ... These men and fifty more have two things in common: all have been through the prison at Guantanamo and all had at the time of arrest a Casio watch which made them suspicious. The most common was the model F91W, but was also frequent another version of this watch cheap, basic and easy to find anywhere in the world, the A159W.

"It is the mark of al Qaeda, which uses the clock to make bombs," according to the testimony of several inmates gathered in the secret files of the Department of Defense. "The possession of F91W and silver version A159W corroborates reports that identify you as an explosives expert," the secret military tab Bakush Ali Ismael.

The Americans say that members of Al Qaeda gave the watches to students in training courses were held in Afghanistan for bombs. They add that about one in three detainees who were captured with the Casio had some relationship with explosives, either by having made the bombs, for having attended training courses or simply for having a relationship with someone "identified as an explosives expert.

" Thus, the mere possession of an object often used by terrorist detainees became terrorists. He also wore a Casio Ali Abdallah Saleh. This time it was a black A159W. "This model has been used in bombings linked to al Qaeda and radical Islamic groups," the statement in October 2004, Ali Saleh described as a Mujahid "confessed." Although the military authority should transfer the prisoner to another country where he remains detained, the Kuwaiti criminal left the direction of their country in 2005.

He died in Iraq three years later to blow themselves up in a suicide bombing.
