Summary:St. Louis FBI spokesman Keith Lourdeau echoed the Sabet family's contention that "it appears that there was a possibility of a stolen identity." He declined to comment on FBI agents' interview with Sabet -- which the family said took place several months ago in their Creve Coeur home. Lourdeau did say that Sabet was not arrested or detained. In documents unsealed Friday in the case, [Zacarias Moussaoui] claims Sabet is his ticket to dismissal of capital charges that say he conspired in the hijacking plot. He said the prosecutors turned over to him Sabet's U.S. birth certificate, his passport application and Sabet's student card from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Moussaoui said the government has no case against him since its own evidence shows that Sabet and Ramzi bin al-Shibh, an alleged conspirator in the attacks of Sept. 11, are not one and the same - but the government's only claim has been that bin al-Shibh used Sabet as an alias to wire money to Moussaoui.
