Prior to it being reported in the media, an alleged al-Qaida activist on the al-Faloja forum issued an urgent warning AQ leaders regarding the capture in Oman of one Abdullah Saleh al-Eidan. This is the warning thread.

This raises the question - who is the Faloja forum user called "afghani" and how is it that *he* knew about the capture of al-Eidan? One thing I can tell you is that identity has been active for a considerable length of time.
