Arkeh said the three told him of al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan, al- Fawwaz's friendship with bin Laden - and upcoming attacks in New York City that would involve multiple targets, including the World Trade Center. And when he was extradited to the Seminole County Jail in July 2001, Arkeh immediately began trying to use the content of those conversations to get out of jail - and get the charges against him dropped. He used a fellow inmate and former bail bondsman to reach out to the FBI. But when two agents showed up at the jail on Aug. 21, 2001, they weren't impressed by Arkeh's warning that he knew "something big" was going to happen in New York City very soon. One of the agents, hand in his pocket and jingling his change, was openly derisive, Arkeh said. "Is that all you have? That's old news," the agent said, according to Arkeh's account of the meeting to a Sentinel reporter late last year.
