Al-Qaeda Communication Hub in Santa Clara CA Run by Khaled Abu Dahab Linked to Al-Qaeda Communications Hub in Egypt & Yemen in 1990's.

Al-Qaeda Communication Hub in Santa Clara CA Run by Khaled Abu Dahab Linked to Al-Qaeda Communications Hub in Egypt & Yemen in 1990's. Before the attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda cells communicated via satellite phones, cell phones and e-mail. Prior to the September 11th, 2001 terror attacks, Khaled Abu Dahab told FBI agents that he operated a communications hub for terror operatives out of his Santa Clara home, he entered the USA in July 1986. Khaled Abu al-Dahab, 57, an Egyptian-born naturalized U.S. citizen and former Silicon Valley car salesman is a confessed member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) terrorist organization which later linked and morphed into Al-Qaeda. Khaled Abu al-Dahab was a known member of a Santa Clara, California, based al-Qaeda sleeper cell. In 1992 Khaled Abu Dahab met with Egyptian Islamic Jihad boss Ayman al-Zawahiri when al-Zawahiri visited Santa Clara CA. Khaled Abu Dahab also met with Egyptian Islamic Jihad boss Ayman al-Zawahiri in Santa Clara CA in 1995, using a fake passport and identity documents, he smuggled Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is bin Laden's chief deputy and a partner in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and a long list of other crimes, into the United States from Afghanistan for a covert fund-raising tour in which the terrorist raised as much as $500,000. Part of the money financed the bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan, Dahab said. In 1988, Osama bin Laden established Al Qaeda from a network of Arab and other foreign veterans of the Afghan insurgency against the Soviet Union, with the aim of supporting Islamist causes in conflicts around the world. Al Qaeda functioned both on its own and through some of the terrorist organizations that operated under its umbrella, including: Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which was led by Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Ayman al-Zawahiri merged the Egyptian Islamic Jihad with al-Qaeda in 2001 and formally became bin Laden's deputy in 2004. Osama bin-Laden's right hand man was Ayman al-Zawahiri who had become a leading figure in the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. In court documents, prosecutors alleged Khaled Abu Dahab “facilitated” fraudulent passports and documents and provided money and other items to known terrorists. Dahab admitted to U.S. investigators he recruited Americans into the Al Qaeda terrorist organization during his 12 years in California, from 1986 to 1998. Dahab, who is currently serving 15 years in an Egyptian prison, according to authorities, was once congratulated by Bin Laden for his work recruiting in the U.S. Dahab, whom bin Laden biographer Yossef Bodansky has called a "high-quality" al Qaeda agent, one of the "senior jihadist operatives in the United States" during the 1990s. In 2002, Khaled Abul-Dahab confessed to Egyptian interrogators that he had funded the 1995 attack on the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan on orders from Osama bin Laden, and had transferred money from a Californian bank account to Pakistan to finance the attack.

The other communications hub for the Islamic terrorist organization Al Qaeda was once located in the non-descript Madbah neighborhood located in the city of Sanaa, Yemen. From 1995–2006, the home of Ahmad al-Hada became a “global switchboard” for Al Qaeda. An FBI analysis of phone records, links the subjects of the Bureau’s probe into the apparent Saudi role in the 9/11 attacks to a key communications hub used by Osama bin Laden. From 1996 til 2006, Ahmad al-Hada was operating along with his son, Samir Al-Hada, an Qaeda safe house and a communication center in Sana'a, which was the direct link from AQ central to Yemen. Ahmad Mohammad Ali al-Hada is an al-Qaeda operative from Yemen whose family is described by US government officials as a "supercell" within the al-Qaeda. Al-Hada's son-in-law, Khalid al-Mihdhar, was one of the hijackers that flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon as part of the September 11 attacks. Al-Hada provided the telephone number in Yemen that served as the switchboard for al-Qaeda operations leading up to the USS Cole bombing and September 11 attacks. Ziyad Khaleel's role as to “procure computers, set up communication systems, buy satellite telephones and buy covert surveillance equipment” in the United States for al Qaeda. The phone number 00–873–682505331 was used by bin Laden to communicate to his network of followers. According to Dan Coleman FBI Liaison office. “It has not been revealed when US intelligence begins monitoring bin Laden exactly, though the CIA was tailing him in Sudan by the end of 1991. In 1996, the National Security Agency (NSA) had begun tapping Bin Laden’s satellite phone. The phone was bought by an individual named “Ziyad Khaleel”, whom bought the “Compact M” satellite phone while in Virginia. More than 200 calls were placed to Yemen, the number “ 00 967 1200578” kept popping up often enough that NSA analysts monitoring the line, had “red flagged” the number, it became a “hot line” as they called it. It then became of interest to those who were beginning to closely monitor the activities of Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, and ultimately came from Ahmad Mohammad Ali al-Had's home in Sana'a, Yemen. The NSA began tapping the home, which belonged to Ahmed al-Hada supposedly beginning in 1996. The I-49 unit in NYC then began planning to build their own electronic antennas near Afghanistan to begin monitoring the al-Hada house in Yemen. This would give the NSA pause, and they agreed to share data with the FBI, but what data would be shared? By 1998, the NSA gives up transcripts from 114 phone calls to prevent the antennas from being built, but refuses to give up any more. 9/11 hijacker Khalid al-Mihdhar would end up marrying the daughter of Ahmed al-Hada, Hoda al-Hada.
In 1994, Al-Qaeda terrorist Imam Anwar al-Awlaki married a cousin from Yemen, and began service as a part-time imam of the Denver Islamic Society in Fort Collins CO. Ziyad khaleel was also linked to the same Mosque during the same time period.
The Yemeni government tried Anwar al-Awlaki in absentia in November 2010, for plotting to kill foreigners and being a member of al-Qaeda. Anwar al-Awlaki was a Yemeni-American imam who was killed in 2011 in Yemen by a U.S. government drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. In 1996, al-Awlaki was chastised by an elder for encouraging a Saudi student to fight in Chechnya against the Russians. He left Denver soon after, moving to San Diego. It also emerged that in 1998 and 1999, while serving as vice-president of an Islamic charity that the FBI described as "a front organization to funnel money to terrorists", Awlaki was visited by Ziyad Khaleel, an al-Qaeda operative, and an associate of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who was serving a life sentence for plotting to blow up landmarks in New York. By July 2002, al-Awlaki was under investigation in the United States for having received money from the subject of a U.S. Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation. His name was added to the list of terrorism suspects.

Article from: St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO) | January 20, 2003 | Branch-Brioso, Karen; Shinkle Byline: Karen Branch-Brioso, And Peter Shinkle Of The Post-Dispatch A wide-ranging federal grand jury investigation in St. Louis is looking into possible terrorist connections in the Muslim community here, according to people familiar with the inquiry. Among the subjects of the investigation are two small mosques, Muslim businessmen and fund-raising efforts for Palestinian groups. Prosecutors also have asked grand jury witnesses about Ziyad Sadaqa aka
Ziyad Khaleel, a former resident of Columbia, Mo., and the St. Louis area who bought the satellite telephone that al-Qaida leaders used to plot the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Sadaqa, who was never charged in the bombings, raised money here for Palestinian terrorist groups. He reportedly was killed in an auto accident in Saudi Arabia, but federal authorities apparently suspect he may still be alive.
"The feds thought that this Ziyad guy faked his death at hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca) to get out of legal trouble," said a source familiar with the prosecutors' questioning. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Fagan, who heads the St. Louis anti-terrorism task force formed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, would not discuss or even confirm the existence of the investigation. The inquiry appears to be a broad one. "They're asking questions about so many people in St. Louis that it leads me to believe they're casting a wide net in the Muslim community," said a grand jury … Al-Qaeda procurement agent Ziyad Khaleel had been roommates with Imam Muneer Arafat during the time period when he was obtaining communication equipment for Osama bin-Laden. Imam Muneer Arafat came to the Islamic Society of Sarasota-Bradenton Mosque as thier ‘holy man” in March of 2000, just a few months before Mohamed Atta and two other 9/11 Hijackers show up in nearby Nokomis Fl in June of 2000. Ziyad Khaleel, also known as Khalil Ziyad, Ziyad Sadaqa, and Ziyad Abdulrahman, was a Palestinian-American al-Qaeda member, based in the United States, primarily in Colorado, Florida, Michigan and Missouri. He had been identified as a "procurement agent" for Osama bin Laden, arranging the purchase and delivery of "computers, satellite telephones, and covert surveillance equipment" for the leadership of al-Qaeda, as well as administering a number of radical Islamic websites as webmaster, including the website of the terrorist group Hamas. Among the cities in which he resided at various times were Denver, Detroit, Columbia and Orlando. In 1991, while living in Denver, he was vice president of the Denver Islamic Society. By 1994 he was residing in Detroit and his name and address were reflected in ledgers taken from the Al Kifah Refugee Center, a financial and strategic arm of al-Qaeda. Upon moving to Columbia, Missouri, he was known as Ziyad Khaleel. In 1997 Khaleel lived in Manchester, Missouri, and attended Columbia College in St. Louis, so did Imam Muneer Arafat who for some unknown and improbable reason came to a run down Mosque in Sarasota Fl in March of 2000 just prior to 3 of the 9/11 hijacker pilots (main guys and leader Mohamed Atta) showing up in nearby Nokomis Fl on W. Laurel Rd in June of 2000....FBI agent Thomas Baugher told me at one of our meetings in Sarasota at the SRQ Police Department Intel Unit " THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES IN TERRORISM."
