Re: Lackawanna Six

<More than 1,000 Yemeni-Americans live in this Lake Erie town of 20,000, working mostly in the fading steel industry or in low-paying jobs in the Buffalo region.

In spring 2001, six of them made their way to Pakistan, ostensibly to undergo up to two months of religious studies. Greeting them at a Karachi hotel, the government alleges, Derwish instead guided them to an Afghan training camp run by al-Qaida.



"Made their way" to Pakistan? Hitchhiking? Who paid for this trip? These guys were supposedly broke.
