Abat

Abad was the name of an apparently significant terrorist associate of Habib Marwan.

He was mentioned briefly by one of Marwan's subordinates, Hikmat, moments before Marwan began to record his speech to the American people at about 1:22am. Abad was in New York during Day 4.

It is not known whether Abad was the leader of a cell beneath Marwan, a sponsor, simply a contact, or even a superior. Because Marwan and Hikmat immediately discussed proliferating the recorded speech throughout the East Coast by dawn, it is likely that Abad was a computer expert or technician.
