Orphaned references in Sayeed al Masri
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sayeed al Masri's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "sacredcows": From Abu Ubaidah al-Banshiri: Benjamin, Daniel & Steven Simon. "The Age of Sacred Terror", 2002. pp. 130 From Mohammed Atef: Benjamin, Daniel & Steven Simon. "The Age of Sacred Terror", 2002 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

mess-up in second paragraph
I've cut down the second paragraph of the introduction and added "citation needed" tags because the paragraph previously read like this:
 * Since he had been listed as using the alias Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad, many have confused him with Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh who used the same alias; American authorities apparently having mixed up "Sheikh Saeed" and "Saeed Shaikh". It remains unclear whether the United States believes al-Masri or Sheikh transferred thousands of dollars to lead hijacker Mohammed Atta shortly before the September 11th attacks; having alternately reported both of them to be the Mustafa in question.

That paragraph made no sense because 1.) Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad is (accordingly to this article and the www) not an "alias," but simply the man's name; 2.) The Duthel text (which, BTW, is not neutral and good source material anyways... anyways it's this book) doesn't talk about it either; 3.) The Duthel text does talk about Sheikh Saeed and Saeed Sheikh; 4.) The Duthel text makes no claims that US authorities mixed it up, but simply alleges that the names were mixed up (by someone somehow somewhere... no comment); 5.) The remainder of the paragraph is unsourced anyways...

Thanks for being more careful in the future before making claims from hastily collected "sources"... --Ibn Battuta (talk) 17:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
