quote=During his first expedition overseas in 1993, Collins trained at the Khalid Bin Whalid camp just over the Pakistani border in Afghanistan. The camp was sponsored by Osama bin Laden, among others, and was leveled by U.S. cruise missiles in 1998, in retaliation for the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa. Collins never met bin Laden, but he had an invitation to do so when he was working for the CIA and the agency forbade him to do it. ] Muslim convert Aukai Collins described his stay in the camp in 1993. Collins said he befriended Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, while in the camp. Sheikh was later to be convicted of a role in the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl.Collins, on the other hand, attended the camp to prepare him for aiding militant Chechen nationalists.[ Collins claimed some of the camp's graduates, like him, only attacked legitimate military targets.]In 1998 the camp was the target of a retaliatory attack by the United States, in response to the 1998 United States embassy bombings.References
