American jihadi in Somalia had pilot training

No names yet, but Bill Gertz's intel sources tell him that "several" of the jihadis fighting for the Islamic Courts Union held American passports. Which regular readers of the Jawa Report had already heard, of course.

But what seems to be new is the admission that the Americans have been captured alive. Plus this bit looks new:

The American passport holders are being held and interrogated in Kenya. According to our sources, one of the American Islamists had received pilot training in the past, an indication that he may be a terrorist who could be used in a future al Qaeda operation to hijack an aircraft and use it as a missile, as occurred during the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
