FACT: Saudi govt officials in Ministry of Islamic Affairs stationed in American cities (Imams) provided support to 9/11 hijackers before attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. FACT: The FBI and the CIA and the NSA and the DOJ and the CID-DOD NorthCom got out spied by a bunch of Saudi Islamic Clerics (Imams) stationed in America prior to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks!

Omar AI Bayoumi helped Al Hazmi and AI Mihdhar establish a bank account with a $9900 cash deposit. Dis the FBI know the source of those funds? Is there any indication that Omar al Bayoumi acting a as a cutout was the source of those funds? In interrogations with 9/11 boss Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has said that al Mihdhar and al Hazmi were sent to the West Coast with specific instructions to seek out assistance from mosques and the local communities. Did KSM or other al Qa'ida leaders provided al Mihdhar and al Hazmi and other hijackers with specific contacts in the
United States?

The individual responsible for approving the salary for Omar al Bayoumi's no-show job at Dallah/Avco is Hamid al Rashid. His son, Saud al
Rashid, is an member of al-Qa'ida and is listed by the CIA as a "runner up hijacker. " What else did the FBI learn about the connection between Omar al Bayoumi, Hamid al Rashid, and Saud al
Rashid? In a proffer session, Abdullah told the FBI that al Mihdhar informed him that he was a supporter of the Islamic Army of Aden , a group that Abdullah knew was involved in the bombing of the USS Cole. Abdullah had also heard al Hazrni express extremist views on a number of occasions. Dis the FBI know whether Abdullah relayed the substance of these conversations to Omar al Bayoumi or others in San Diego prior to the 9/11 attacks?

I. Southern California Connections "round up the usual suspects", this group of mooks is the focus of the '9/11 Families lawsuit filed on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia'.

1. Omar Al-Bayoumi: Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, provided September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar with considerable assistance after the hijackers arrived in San Diego in February 2000. He helped them locate an apartment, co-signed their lease, and ordered Mohdhar Abdullah (discussed below) to provide them with whatever assistance they needed in acclimating to the United States. The FBI now believes that in January 2000 al-Bayoumi met with Fahad al-Thumairy, a Saudi diplomat and cleric, at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles before going to the restaurant where he met the hijackers and engaged them in conversation. Whether or not al-Bayoumi 's meeting with the hijackers was accidental or arranged is still the subject of debate. During his conversation with the hijackers, Al-Bayoumi invited them to move to San Diego, which they did shortly thereafter. Al-Bayoumi has extensive ties to the Saudi Government and many in the local Muslim community in San Diego believed that he was a Saudi intelligence officer. The FBI believes it is possible that he was an agent of the Saudi Government and that he may have been reporting on the local community to Saudi Government officials. In addition, during its investigation, the FBI discovered that al-Bayoumi has ties to terrorist elements as well. 

2. Osama Bassnan: Bassnan was a very close associate of al-Bayoumi's, and was in frequent contact with him while the hijackers were in San Diego. Bassnan, a vocal supporter of Usama Bin Ladin, admitted to an FBI asset that he met al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar while the hijackers were in San Diego, but denied this in a later conversation. There is some circumstantial evidence that he may have had closer ties to the hijackers, but the FBI has been unable to
corroborate this additional reporting. Bassnan received considerable funding from Prince Bandar and Princess Haifa, supposedly for his wife's medical treatments. According to FBI documents, Bassnan is a former employee of
the Saudi Government's Educational Mission in Washington.

3. Fahad Al-Thumairy: Until recently al-Thumairy was an accredited Saudi diplomat and imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, California. The news media reported that the U.S. Government revoked al-Thumairy's visa in
May 2003 ; the diplomat subsequently returned to Saudi Arabia. The FBI now believes that Omar al-Bayoumi met with al-Thumairy at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles before al-Bayoumi went to the restaurant where he met the 9/11 hijackers. According to witness reporting, al Hazmi and al-Mihdhar were also taken to the King Fahad Mosque while they were in the United States. 

4. Mohdhar Abdullah: Abdullah was tasked by Omar al-Bayoumi to provide al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar with whatever assistance they needed while in San Diego. Abdullah, who became one of the hijackers' closest associates in San
Diego, translated for them, helped them open bank accounts, contacted flight schools for the hijackers, and helped them otherwise acclimate to life in theUnited States.

5. Osama Nooh and Lafi al-Harbi: Al-Harbi and Nooh are Saudi naval officers who were posted to San Diego while hijackers al-Mihdhar and al
Hazmi were living there. After the September 11th attacks, the FBI determined that al-Hazmi had telephonic contact with both Nooh and al-Harbi while al-Hazmi was in the United States. 

II. Other Possible Saudi Government Contacts.

1. Mohammed Quadir-Harunani: Quadir-Harunani has been the subject of an FBI counterterrorism investigation since 1999 and the FBI is currently

Muslim Youth Association (W AMY) and the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Studies in America. Both organizations are local branches of non-governmental organizations based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to the FBI, there is reason to believe that W AMY is "closely associated with the funding and financing of international terrorist activities and in the past has provided logistical support to individuals wishing to fight in the Afghan War." ABL has been assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. as an administrative officer. He is a close associate of Mohammed Quadir Harunani's and has provided funding for Transcom International. 

3. Fahad Abdullah Saleh Bakala: According to an FBI document, Bakala was close friends with two of the September 11th hijackers. The document also notes that Bakala has worked as a pilot for the Saudi Royal Family, flying Usama Bin Ladin between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia during UBL's exile.

4. Hamad Alotaibi: Alotaibi was assigned to the Saudi Embassy Military Division in Washington, D.C.

contained al-Sharbi' s flight certificate. j8f

8. Saleh Al-Hussayen: According to FBI documents, Saleh Al-Hussayen is a Saudi Interior Ministry employee/official and may also be a prominent Saudi cleric. According to one news article, Saleh Al-Hussayen is the Chief
Administrator of the Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina. An FBI affidavit notes that Saleh Al-Hussayen stayed in the same hotel as three of the hijackers on September 10, 2001. He told the FBI that he did not know the hijackers . The FBI agents interviewing him, however, believed he was being deceptive. The interview was terminated when al-Hussayen either passed out or feigned a seizure and was taken to the hospital; he then departed the country before
the FBI could reinterview him. Saleh Al-Hussayen is 'also the uncle of Sami Al -Hussayen (discussed below). -f8t. On Aug. 20, 2001, Saleh Ibn Abdul Rahman Hussayen, a man who would soon be named a minister of the Saudi government and put in charge of its two holy mosques, arrived in the United States to meet with some of this country's most influential fundamentalist Sunni Muslim leaders. His journey here was to include meetings and contacts with officials of several Saudi-sponsored charities that have since been accused of links to terrorist groups, including the Illinois-based Global Relief Foundation, which was shut down by U.S. authorities last year.Hussayen has a background in Saudi-backed charities. Virginia incorporation records show that during the 1990s, he was a director of the SAAR Foundation which was raided by ICE in Operation Green Quest!

FOLLOW THE MONEY; ICE Operation Green Quest 9/11 Terrorist Funding Investigation in Sarasota Led by Michael Chertoff Shut Down by FBI Because it Linked to Terrorism, WTF? The ICE Operation Green Quest investigation into terrorist funding in Sarasota Fl led by Michael Chertoff was getting results in 2002 to 2003 but the FBI shut it down. In March 2003, Customs and Operation Green Quest were transferred to ICE, within the Department of Homeland Security. From July to October 2003, the FBI provided a list of individuals, businesses, and organizations to the vetting unit that it believed were related to pre-Agreement ICE Operation Green Quest investigations. Customs (ICE) expanded Operation Green Quest in January 2003 by doubling the personnel commitment to a total of approximately 300 agents and analysts nationwide to work solely on terrorist financing matters, (the SAAR Foundation raid). A review of the list by the vetting unit and TFOS identified approximately 30 potential crossover subjects.

9. Sami Al-Hussayen: In February 2003 Sami Al-Hussayen was arrested and charged with visa fraud . According to the indictment, al-Hussayen routed thousands of dollars he received from overseas sources to the Islamic Assembly of North America, an organization also under investigation for ties to terrorism. Al-Hussayen also allegedly set up web sites that promoted
suicide bombing and using airplanes as weapons four months before the September 11 attacks . 

10. Mohammed Fakihi: Fakihi is a Saudi diplomat. Until recently he was assigned to the Islamic Affairs Section of the Saudi Embassy in Berlin,
Germany. Soon after the September 11th attacks, German authorities searched the apartment of Munir Motassadeq, an associate of the hijackers in Hamburg, and found Fakihi 's business card. According to press reports , the Saudis did
not respond to German requests for information on Fakihi. More recently, German authorities discovered that Fakihi had contacts with other terrorists; Fakihi was subsequently recalled to Saudi Arabia.
