The terrorist soccer player
Since the original story on Nizar Trabelsi has decayed, here's a version of it from CNN:
CNN.com - Footballer jailed at terror trial - Sep. 30, 2003
And, interestingly, it turns out that Trabelsi was involved in a more famous case, the Richard Reid attempted "shoe bombing":
CNN.com - 'Shoe bomber' jailed for 13 years - Apr 22, 2005
Trabelsi apparently was Reid's contact, and then tried to get another British loser to try the shoe bomb thing. This one didn't work either. It's somewhat fitting. Trabelsi is a soccer player, and everyone knows they have to use their feet and never their hands.
