"We have disrupted an unfolding terrorist [b]plot to attack the United States by exploding a radioactive dirty bomb,[/b]" Attorney General John Ashcroft said in a televised announcement from Moscow.
Ashcroft said Jose Padilla, also known as Abdullah Al Muhajir, was in the custody of the U.S. military and [b]is being treated as an enemy combatant.[/b]
He said the government's suspicions about Muhajir's plans came from "multiple, independent, corroborating sources."
