Terrorist

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.


The author thanks Shady Nasser for his invaluable guidance and expertise concerning Arabic and the Koran, and Emily and Gregory Harvey for, once again, supplying Philadelphia details, and Paul Bogaards for his New Jersey expertise. Charlie Chehab's version of the Revolutionary War in New Jersey owes much to Washington's Crossing, by David Hackett Fischer. English quotations of the Koran have been taken from translations by J. M. Rodwell in 1861 and N.J. Dawood in 1956.
