Salahuddin has had some indirect contact with American authorities . Shortly after the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 , U.S. intelligence agents established contact with Salahuddin , who " began a back-channel relationship with American authorities and talked about returning to the United States to stand trial in the murder of Tabatabai " . He sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno dated March 5 , 1994 , proposing mediating between the United States and " certain key figures in the worldwide Islamic movement " in return for freedom from prosecution . No reply was given to his letter
