VOA Persian is generally considered a reliable source.

U.S. security officials have arrested a former Sudanese pilot. His name has not been disclosed, but he is suspected of planning a suicide attack similar to September 11 at a location in the U.S. However, he denies these allegations, and U.S. officials state that no criminal charges have been filed against him so far. The suspect is being held in an undisclosed location in the U.S., and it is unclear where or when he was arrested. However, news reports indicate that he entered the U.S. from Canada. U.S. officials consider a report by the Washington Times, which claimed that the pilot had chosen the White House as his target, to be incorrect. The report also states that he received training in Afghanistan and had connections with Al-Qaeda.
