Some Al Quaida financier.

"BERMEL VALLEY, Afghanistan -- Exactly one year after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, U.S. forces in Afghanistan say they have captured at least two suspected al Qaeda members during their latest sweep to seize terrorist and Taliban fugitives.

The two, including one man suspected of being a key financier for the terrorist network, were among nine detainees captured during Operation Champion Strike, a military spokesman said Wednesday."

These type of attacks have been a weekly occurance almost since the moment those bases were formed. It's been reported almost weekly but only as 2 lines of text from a lower ranking media outlet and usually picked up by reuters as a 'blurb'.

Due to the 9/11/01 'anniversary' the attacks got bumped up a little by 'the media'.

But it's situation normal for those bases.
