Recent Letter To His Father
The New York Times reported that Al Zahrani's father, Talal Abdallah al-Zahrani, recently received a letter from his son where he seemed to be in good spirits. He said: "Nothing suggested that he would commit suicide, nothing,"
Al Zahrani disputed the US report that his son was non-compliant, saying his son had spent his time memorizing the Koran, and had been behaving. Al Zahrani said that the reason his son had been in the area of Afghanistan was that he had been working for Islamic charities.

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or father:
“Of all the barbarous middle ages, that
Which is most barbarous is the middle age
Of man! it is—I really scarce know what;
But when we hover between fool and sage,
And don’t know justly what we would be at—
A period something like a printed page,
Black letter upon foolscap, while our hair
Grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“When we say a woman is of a certain social class, we really mean her husband or father is.”
—Zoë Fairbairns (b. 1948)
