PHOENIX CONNECTION: Saudi Al-Qaeda terrorists Mohammed al-Qudhaeein, Hamdan al-Shalawi, Hani Hanjour and Nawaf al Hazmi were in Phoenix years before 9/11. Two years before 9/11 attacks Saudi Embassy in Washington paid the airfare for two Saudi nationals living undercover in the US as students to fly from Phoenix to Washington “in a dry run for the 9/11 attacks,” alleges the amended complaint filed on behalf of the families of some 1,400 victims who died in the terrorist attacks 18 years ago. The story cites FBI documents in the complaint alleging Saudi students Mohammed al-Qudhaeein and Hamdan al-Shalawi were in fact members of "the Kingdom's network of agents in the US", and participated in the conspiracy. During the flight in November 1999, the Saudis are reported to have attempted to get into the plane's cockpit to test security. The pilots made an emergency landing because of the incident, and the men were interrogated by the FBI, which eventually let them go. According to the Post story, the FBI confirmed the men's airline tickets were paid for by the Saudi embassy in Washington. Citing FBI documents, the complaint alleges that the Saudi students — Mohammed al-Qudhaeein and Hamdan al-Shalawi — were in fact members of “the Kingdom’s network of agents in the US,” and participated in the terrorist conspiracy. They had trained at al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan at the same time some of the hijackers were there. And while living in Arizona, they had regular contacts with a Saudi hijacker pilot, Hani Hanjour, and Ghassan al Sharbi a senior al Qaeda leader from Saudi now incarcerated at Gitmo. At least one tried to re-enter the US a month before the attacks as a possible muscle hijacker but was denied admission because he appeared on a terrorist watch list.
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, CUBA A review board has decided that a Saudi prisoner who attended flight school in the U.S. and was trained to make explosives by al-Qaida should continue to be held without charge. The Periodic Review Board said in a decision released Friday that Ghassan Abdallah al-Sharbi, 41, should remain in custody at the U.S. base in Cuba because he remains a security threat. He spoke with candor at his June 23 board hearing, the decision said. Sharbi attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, and later went to a U.S. flight school, where he “associated with” two of the 9/11 hijackers, according to a profile released by the Pentagon before his review board hearing. Authorities said he later received training by al-Qaida in the manufacture of improvised explosive devices and was captured in a raid on a terrorist safe house in Faisalabad, Pakistan in 2002. One of Guantanamo Bay’s most dangerous and longest-held terror suspects is a Saudi national who knows how to fly planes and build sophisticated bombs, speaks fluent English and remains committed to killing Americans, say former U.S. officials who dealt with Ghassan al Sharbi face-to-face.Revelations last week that Al Sharbi’s flight training certificate, tucked into a Saudi Arabian Embassy envelope, had been found in 2003 among a trove of documents buried in Pakistan following his arrest there, raised fresh questions about the Kingdom’s possible involvement in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Although Al Sharbi, who trained with several of the 9/11 hijackers at an Arizona flight school, did not take part in the attacks, he is seen as one of the most lethal and committed terrorists held at the military base


"This is a window of opportunity you are seldom presented with." Hanjour would end up with Alhamzi and Al-Midhar on American Airlines Flight 77, the jet that smashed into the Pentagon shortly after departing from Dulles airport outside Washington. A government report on the Sept. 11 attacks, which was prepared by a joint House-Senate committee and released today, says the FBI's informant knew that Alhamzi and Al-Midhar were going to flight school in Arizona but never told his FBI handler, Butler, who was in the dark about the significance of the two men. Nawaf alHazmi and a longtime friend, Khalid al-Mihdhar, left their homes in Saudi Arabia in 1995 to fight for Muslims in the Bosnian War. Hazmi later traveled to Afghanistan to fight with the Taliban against the Afghan Northern Alliance. He returned to Saudi Arabia in early 1999. Already long time affiliates of al-Qaeda with extensive fighting experience, Hazmi and Mihdhar were chosen by Osama bin Laden for an ambitious terrorist plot to pilot commercial airlines into designated targets in the United States. Hazmi and Mihdhar both obtained US tourist visas in April 1999.
SARASOTA CONNECTION: 9/11
hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi hung out at home in Prestancia gated community Sarasota Fl
prior to the Sept. 11th terror attack. Sarasota Budget Mobile store
owner Wissam Hammoud told investigators that he often exercised with
Abdulaziz al-Hijji at the Shapes Fitness center near the Prestancia
neighborhood, and that the two played soccer together on property
surrounding the Sarasota Bradenton Islamic Center Mosque at 4350 N.
Lockwood Ridge Rd Sarasota Fl prior to Sept. 11th, 2001. Abdulaziz
al-Hijji was devoted to Osama bin Laden. Al-Qaeda and Hamas linked Imam
Muneer Arafat was hired by the Sarasota Bradenton Islamic Center in
March of 2000, he listed local address’s on Central Sarasota Pkwy and at
Nature Circle Sarasota, FL. Former Sarasota Imam Muneer Arafat is a
member of the terrorist origination Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood. As per a FDLE Report of 12/03/2003, Special Agent Scott McAllister
(Florida Department of Law Enforcement) along with Special Agent Tom
Baugher (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and Detective James LaPlante
(Sarasota City Police Department) interviewed a confidential informant,
under control of the Detroit office of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The source spoke of Muneer ARAFAT as the Imam of the local Sarasota mosque
and that ARAFAT was a member of the Islamic (Muslim) Brotherhood in
Kuwait, who follows a radical belief and teachings of ALBAZ, and wishes
harm to the United States.
Al-Hijji
brought a friend to the Sarasota Mosque soccer games who Hammoud
claimed was Adnan El Shukrijumah, a man who was federally indicted in
2010 for his alleged role in a terrorist plot to attack New York City’s
subway system. The plot, uncovered in September 2009, was directed by
senior Al-Qaeda leadership in Pakistan, and El Shukrijumah is thought to
have been part of the group’s external operations hierarchy. It was go
time for Saudi al-Hijji Clan on Monday August 27th, 2001 as they fled
their Prestancia Sarasota Fl home while the Al-Qaeda Hijackers are all
booking flights starting on Saturday August 25th, 2001 for the September
11th, 2001 terror attack, there are no coincidences in terrorism! By
Monday August 27th, 2001, the day the Saudi al-Hijji Clan fled Sarasota,
ten of the 9/11 hijackers had booked and paid for flights departing on
September 11th, 2001, did al-Hijji clan get a phone call or email
telling them "IT'S TIME", there are no coincidences in terrorism! On
August 25th, 2001 the time and date had been set for the September 11th,
2001 terror attack, it appears the al-Hijji clan in Sarasota had prior
knowledge of 9/11 terror attack, there are no coincidences in terrorism!

SAN DIEGO CONNECTION: Chance
to foil 9/11 plot lost in San Diego & Sarasota according to
Congressional Report that Named Osama 'Sam' Mustafa, Ziyad Khaleel and
Anwar Al-Awlaki as part of a nation wide terror support network in the
USA. FLORIDA BULLDOG WRITES: As late as October 2012, federal
prosecutors and FBI agents in New York City were actively exploring filing charges against a suspect, Osama Sam Mustafa,
for providing material support to the 9/11 hijackers and other crimes.
The suspect’s identity and many details of the New York investigation
are blanked out of a FBI summary report that discusses “Updates and
Initiatives (as of 5 October 2012)” about 9/11. The document was
released to Florida Bulldog amid ongoing Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) litigation that seeks access to records of the 9/11 Review
Commission.
The
report was heavily redacted for national security, privacy and other
reasons but links to Tampa's Osama Sam Mustafa currently a fugitive from
justice wanted by US Marshals service. But the report’s declassified
portions indicate the New York investigation targeted an apparent U.S.
support network for two of the 9/11 suicide hijackers – Saudis Nawaf
al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar – who with three other terrorists crashed
American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. “This has never been
disclosed before and it’s to the contrary of almost everything the FBI
has produced so far that has indicated that 9/11 is history,” said
former Sen. Bob Graham, D-FL, who co-chaired Congress’s Joint Inquiry
into the terrorist attacks. “It’s interesting that it took them 11 years
to get there, and a FOIA to get this information to the public.” The
report, originally classified secret, is marked “declassify on
12-31-2037.” The
report discloses top-secret communications intercepts in which at least
two of the hijackers were identified and linked to a terrorist facility
in the Middle East two years before the attacks -- information
collected by the National Security Agency but not shared in time with
the FBI or other agencies. "I remain deeply disturbed by the amount of material that has been
censored from this report," said Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), co-chairman
of the joint inquiry, which included members of the Senate and House
intelligence committees.
