Sitting in a hotel suite here, a cigarette and late-morning beer in hand, Omar Nasiri does not look the part of a radical Islamic terrorist. But then, appearances may mean little to a man whose name is not really Omar Nasiri and whose life is cloaked in layers of deception.

Nasiri, a Moroccan, claims that for seven years beginning in the mid-1990s, and ending before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he was involved with militant Muslim groups in Europe that later coalesced into Al Qaeda. He trained with weapons and explosives at camps in Afghanistan, meeting some of the world’s most-wanted terrorists. Later, in London, he funneled messages between those men and radical Islamic clerics.

All the while, Nasiri said, he was operating as an agent for the intelligence services of France, Britain, and Germany.
