Cam Simpson of the WSJ Blog Washington Wire has the story here.
“A brief CIA biography of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also says that the time he spent studying engineering at North Carolina A&T University during the mid-1980s “almost certainly helped propel him on his path to become a terrorist.” The university is one of the nation’s historically black schools.
