Abdul Basit’s life as one of America’s most-wanted men came to an end almost as suddenly as it began. His alleged co-conspirators in the World Trade Center bombing had implicated “Ramzi Yousef” when they were arrested, and the F.B.I. had on several occasions laid elaborate plans to capture him in Pakistan, but each time he had been alerted and had disappeared, either into Karachi’s un derground or across the border into Afghanistan.
