The author of a  book on the Oklahoma City  bombing says a homeless man  arrested in Quincy on Wednes day is the same man identified  by several witnesses to the  bombing as having been with  Timothy McVeigh on the day of  the deadly attack.
   Quincy Police on Thursday  spoke with the author and noti fied the FBI of the arrest of  Hussain Al-Hussaini for slash ing a man’s face with a beer bot tle.
   Capt. John Dougan said the  man arrested in Quincy on  Wednesday has the same name  as a man featured prominently  in the 2004 book “The Third  Terrorist: The Middle East Con nection to the Oklahoma City  Bombing.”
   Both Dougan and the author  of the Oklahoma City book said  the man arrested in Quincy also  has a tattoo on his arm that  matches the description of one  on the arm of the man in the  book.
    “His age, his name, the pic ture, the mug shot, that’s him,”  the author of  “The Third Terror ist,”  Jayna Davis, told The Patri ot Ledger in a telephone inter view.
   Davis said she saw the  Al- Hussaini she wrote about during  depositions for a libel suit he  brought against her.
   Davis  said the  Al-Hussaini  she wrote about is  a former Iraqi  solider who was seen with  McVeigh in the weeks before  Oklahoma City and on April 19,  1995,  the day of the bombing,  which killed 168 people.
   McVeigh was executed for his  role in the bombing. The Al- Hussaini seen with him was  never charged.
   The Al-Hussaini arrested by  the Quincy police is 45 years old  and is being held on $500 bail  on a charge of assault and bat tery with a dangerous weapon.  He is also being held for a pro bation violation.
    He was ordered to have no  contact with the victim and to  stay away from the Father Bill’s  homeless shelter.
   The victim, a 37-year-old  homeless man, told police Al- Hussaini struck him with a beer  bottle near 1250 Hancock St. in  Quincy Center around 7:30 a.m.  Wednesday.
