On September 30, 2002 Buffalo News reported on "Dr. Khalid J. Qazi, [who] has spent years building relationships with other religious communities, while trying to empower his fellow Muslims and dispel myths about their faith and Islamic culture. Qazi confides he is not only famished but physically and emotionally drained from the events of the whirlwind week when he was thrust into the national maelstrom following the Sept. 13 arrests of six Lackawanna young men, accused of being trained at an al-Qaida terrorist camp in Afghanistan."
