TOLEDO, Ohio, March 1 (UPI) -- A man identified as a government informant in a case against three terrorist suspects in Toledo, Ohio, has disappeared.
There's been enough published about the man know only as Bilal, a.k.a. "the Trainer" that anyone who knows him, probably knows it was him who fingered the three alleged plotters arrested here in Toledo last week.
If the Feds actually have him spirited away to keep him safe it might be the only place he can stay alive. If he got scared and is on the run he better keep a low profile. That might be hard since they describe him as looking like Jerome Bettis.
From looking at the indictments (PDF), a lot hinges on this guy and the feds might not be able to make their case without him. Like Mike says, the guys a "rat" and he must have run in some very nasty circles.
