Nashiri joins al Qaeda
At some point, Nashiri joined al Qaeda. His cousin, Jihad Mohammad Ali al
Makki, also known as Azzam, was a suicide bomber for the Nairobi attack. Nashiri
traveled between Yemen and Afghanistan. In late 1998, Nashiri proposed mounting
an attack against a U.S. vessel. Bin Ladin approved. He directed Nashiri to
start the planning and send operatives to Yemen, and he later provided money.29
Nashiri reported directly to Bin Ladin, the only other person who, according
to Nashiri, knew all the details of the operation. When Nashiri had difficulty
finding U.S. naval vessels to attack along the western coast of Yemen, Bin Ladin
reportedly instructed him to case the Port of Aden, on the southern coast,
instead.30 The eventual result was an attempted attack on the USS The
Sullivans in January 2000 and the successful attack, in October 2000, on
the USS Cole.
Nashiri's success brought him instant status within al Qaeda. He later was
recognized as the chief of al Qaeda operations in and around the Arabian
Peninsula. While Nashiri continued to consult Bin Ladin on the planning of
subsequent terrorist projects, he retained discretion in selecting operatives
and devising attacks. In the two years between the Cole bombing and
Nashiri's capture, he would supervise several more proposed operations for al
Qaeda. The October 6, 2002, bombing of the French tanker Limburg in the
Gulf of Aden also was Nashiri's handiwork. Although Bin Ladin urged Nashiri to
continue plotting strikes against U.S. interests in the Persian Gulf, Nashiri
maintains that he actually delayed one of these projects because of security
concerns.31 Those concerns, it seems, were well placed, as Nashiri's
November 2002 capture in the United Arab Emirates finally ended his career as a
terrorist.

What's *just* has been debated for centuries but let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn. Do you disagree? Well then tell me how much of what I earn *belongs* to you – and why?
