In the same story, Peter Bergen -- the author of Holy War, Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden -- has some relevant comments:
"If the allegations are true, it's significant," said Peter Bergen, who has traveled extensively to research al-Qaida and appears as a terrorism analyst on CNN. "Second-generation" students of terrorism -- those coming of age after the Sept. 11 attacks -- have been somewhat common in Europe. But they haven't surfaced in the United States, he said. If Hamid Hayat's connections to al-Qaida prove true, they could signal terrorists' ability to recruit Americans with highly prized passports that allow them to travel more freely.
