terrorists wanted to blow up LA skyscraper, but were thwarted

...And where are these terrorists now? Do we have them in custody? did we arrest them? Have they been tried? Who are they? Did we let them get away to attack us on another day? The terrorists have not been fragmented, the terrorists have been educated. . I want these murderers found and tried and executed. I want us to put their heads on pikes and parade them through the city streets. I do not want them to be thwarted.

The plot was set in motion by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks, a month after those happened, Bush said. It involved terrorists from al Qaeda's Southeast Asia wing, Jemaah Islamiyah.
Al Qaeda's Southeast Asia leader, known as Hambali, had recruited Jemaah Islamiyah operatives for the plot, Bush said. Hambali was arrested in 2003 in Thailand."Rather than use Arab hijackers, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed sought out young men from Southeast Asia whom he believed would not arouse as much suspicion," Bush said

Okay, the management level bad guys are somewhere, but what about the worker bees? where are they and who are they working for now? and dayum this happened in "early 2002"? it's early 2006!!
