Beghal had once lived in London and attended the Finsbury Park mosque along with Richard Reid , Zacarias Moussaoui , Nizar Trabelsi , the Courtailler brothers, and other Al-Qaida suspects. Beghal allegedly planned the Paris Embassy plot and recruited people for Al-Qaida. Beghal was clean-shaven and was dressed in western clothing to attract almost no attention. In 28 July 2001 , he was arrested at Dubai International Airport while transferring from a flight from Pakistan to a flight to Europe. Beghal confessed to UAE authorities that he was conspiring to destroy the U.S. embassy in Paris . The confession doomed the plot.

In October 2001 , Beghal said that a man named Zein-al-Abideen Mohammed Hussein recruited him for the attack. That man turned out to be Abu Zubaydah .
