January 6, 2002
A jailed Seminole County man who had served time in a British prison with three suspected associates of Osama bin Laden claims the FBI ignored his warnings in August that terrorist attacks on New York City would occur "very soon."
Walid Arkeh contends that, during a late-summer interview that federal officials acknowledge took place, FBI agents scoffed at his promise to exchange more details for freedom, asylum and protection.
But since Sept. 11, the 35-year-old Jordanian national from Altamonte Springs has been grilled by federal agents and whisked to an undisclosed location by state corrections officials. His name and photo -- all traces of his presence in the system -- have been removed from the Department of Corrections Web site.
It may never be known exactly what Arkeh told federal authorities on the afternoon of Aug. 21 or what they did to check out his story before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
