============================
Confessions of an al-Qaeda Terrorist 

American interrogators finally got to Omar al-Faruq,
who detailed
plans to launch a new terror spree in Southeast Asia.
A TIME exclusive

For someone interested in quietly leading a
terrorist's life, the rainy
Indonesian hamlet of Cijeruk is a nice place to settle
down. Nestled
among lush, green paddies and swaying banana trees, an
hour's drive
outside the chaotic capital city of Jakarta, Cijeruk
consists of a
single two-lane road lined by a row of well-kept
cottages. It's a good
spot to hide from the authorities, if you have reason
to be on the run 
which may be how Omar al-Faruq, a 31-year-old drifter
from Kuwait,
ended up living there, in a concrete house that
belonged to the family
of his Indonesian wife Mira Agustina, 24. After moving
to Cijeruk last
year, al-Faruq tried to fit in with locals, getting by
with functional
Indonesian-language skills and an ID card that said he
was from the
eastern Indonesian city of Ambon. His wife says he
read and taught the
Koran and stayed close to home  until one day in June,
when he
vanished. "He called at noon that Wednesday to say he
was going to the
mosque," says Mira. "I never heard from him again." 

If she is to be believed, Mira, like the rest of the
world, is only
beginning to discover the truth about her husband. On
June 5 government
agents arrested al-Faruq at a mosque in nearby Bogor.
Three days later,
Indonesian authorities deported al-Faruq to the
U.S.-held air base in
Bagram, Afghanistan, where CIA investigators have been
interrogating
suspected members of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda
terrorist organization.
But al-Faruq was no ordinary operative. 

According to a secret CIA document and regional
intelligence reports
obtained by TIME, U.S. officials already had reason to
believe al-Faruq
was one of bin Laden's top representatives in
Southeast Asia,
responsible for coordinating the activities of the
region's disparate
Islamic militant groups and employing their forces to
conduct terror
attacks against the U.S. and its allies. According to
one regional
intelligence memo, the CIA had been told of al-Faruq's
role by Abu
Zubaydah, the highest ranking al-Qaeda official in
U.S. custody and a
valuable, if at times manipulative, source of
intelligence on the
terror network and its plans. Initially, al-Faruq was
not as
cooperative. Though al-Faruq was subjected to three
months of
psychological interrogation tactics  a U.S.
counterterrorism official
says they included isolation and sleep deprivation he
stayed virtually
silent. 

But early last week al-Faruq finally broke down. On
Sept. 9, according
to a secret CIA summary of the interview, al-Faruq
confessed that he
was, in fact, al-Qaeda's senior representative in
Southeast Asia. Then
came an even more shocking confession: according to
the CIA document,
al-Faruq said two senior al-Qaeda officials, Abu
Zubaydah and Ibn
al-Shaykh al-Libi, had ordered him to "plan
large-scale attacks against
U.S. interests in Indonesia, Malaysia, (the)
Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Cambodia. In
particular," the document
continues, "(al-)Faruq prepared a plan to conduct
simultaneous
car/truck bomb attacks against U.S. embassies in the
region to take
place on or near" the first anniversary of the Sept.
11 attacks.
Al-Faruq said that, despite his arrest, backup
operatives were in place
to "assume responsibilities to carry out operations as
planned." If
successfully executed, such a coordinated assault
could produce
thousands of casualties. Fearing an attack could come
at any moment,
al-Faruq's interrogators relayed his revelations to
the CIA's
Counterterrorism Center in Langley, Va. Al-Faruq's
story tracked with
several recent intelligence reports from Southeast
Asia about an
increase in suspicious activities near American
embassies. A day later
the U.S. issued its code-orange terror alert.
Al-Faruq's threatened
attacks never occurred.
