From 9/11 Encyclopedia:
In April 2002, a truck bombing at a Tunisian synagoguein Dejerba killed 15 people, most of them Germans. German federals later came to the conclusion, that this attack was planned by Al-Quaeda, but tunesian police linked this attack to al-Tawhid group around jordanian Abu Katadah.
The London-based Arab daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi said it had received a claim of responsibility for the Djerba explosion said to have been left by a truck driver, identified as Nizar Nawar. German magazine DER SPIEGEL promoted the story, that two german residents, Michael Christian G. and Karim M. received a phone call 1 hour before the attack.
They reported, that a telephone number of September 11th suspect Mohammad Atta (->) was found in the apartment of suspect Michael Christian G. (Mulheim, germany) and Karim M. (Duisburg, germany) was in possession of the number of Ramzi Binalshibh, who was at that time still on the FBI most wanted list.
This part of the story was never picked up again. In April 2002, Germany still refused to support the United States for a war against Iraq.
