Suspect in New York cell nabbed

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- An American of Yemeni descent was arrested in Bahrain and transferred to U.S. authorities investigating an alleged terror cell in upstate New York, a Bahraini government official said Monday.\nThe official, speaking on condition of anonymity in a telephone interview from Bahrain's capital, Manama, said the man was arrested last week as part of coordinated efforts between U.S. and local authorities in the Gulf kingdom.\nThe official said the suspect agreed to go back to the United States to continue the investigation.\nThe Bahraini official did not have the man's name and had few other details. It appeared to be the sixth suspect in an alleged New York terror cell trained by Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network and based in Lackawanna, N.Y.\nThe New York Times reported Monday that a sixth Lackawanna resident, identified as Mukhtar al-Bakri, was arrested in Bahrain. The Times attributed the information to members of al-Bakri's family in upstate New York. A federal official told the newspaper more details on the new arrest would be given Monday.\nThe suspect had came to Bahrain with his two sons and was about to get married in Bahrain, the Bahraini official told The Associated Press. He had no information on the intended bride.\nThe U.S. Embassy in Bahrain refused to comment, saying it has been directed to refer all inquiries on the arrest to the Justice Department in Washington.\nIn New York on Saturday, five Americans of Yemeni descent made initial appearances in federal court in Buffalo on charges of providing material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization by attending an al Qaeda-run training camp in Afghanistan in the spring of 2001.\nThe judge entered a "not guilty" plea for each and ordered the men jailed until a detention hearing Wednesday.
