9/11 Investigation Reveals Nationwide Network of Saudi Funded Imams in America Were Support Troops for Hijackers, FBI and CIA Got Out Spied by Clerics. Langley and Washington DC got played by a bunch of Saudi funded clerics. 9/11 Commission did find evidence that elements of the Saudi government, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA), and non-senior Saudi officials had provided support to al Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks. The FBI/CIA cited efforts by “suspected Saudi intelligence officers and cooptees” and “Saudi-funded clerics (Imams)” to obtain intelligence inside the U.S. prior to Sept 11, 2001. Investigations have focused on figures like Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi agent, and Fahad al-Thumairy, a radical cleric (IMAM) and Saudi diplomat at the King Fahd Mosque in Los Angeles. FBI files suggest al-Bayoumi provided "significant logistical support" and financial aid to the two muscle hijackers living in San Diego in 2000. Musaed al-Jarrah, during the relevant period, Musaed al-Jarrah was the assistant head of the Islamic Affairs Department at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. The 9/11 hijack muscle crew of al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar met Anwar al-Awlaki (sometimes spelled “Aulaqi”), the radical imam of the Al Ribat Mosque in San Diego. Imam Fahad al-Thumairy was an employee of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and was the imam at a Saudi-built mosque in Los Angles.
Fahad al-Thumairy was the leader of a group that “held extreme, radical, and anti-American views” and Fahad al-Thumairy himself was “hostile to Americans and Western culture, as well as anyone, including other Muslims, who did not follow strict Saudi Wahhabi beliefs.” Fahad al-Thumairy’s extremist group “included Khaled Al Cherif (aka Khaled AbuSuleiman), Abdu Ghanem, Mustapha Kamel, Khalid Jalloud, Gamal Nagy, Abdul Hafiz Kebhaj (aka Abu Suhaib), Ismail Mana, Anwar al-Awlaki, and Mohamed Al Muhanna.” At that time, the cell was led by the “Blind Sheikh” Abdul Rahman. XXXXXX escorted Rahman around Los Angeles weeks before he was arrested for a wide-ranging terror conspiracy involving the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other planned attacks on New York City resulting in his conviction and life imprisonment. Imam Fahad al-Thumairy was hostile to Americans and only catered to “a small group of men who shared his particular extreme worldview at his King Fahad Mosque.” The King Fahad Mosque library in LA had a 1995 official publication of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA) containing a Saudi Sheikh’s sermon preaching the policy that all non-Muslims should be put to death. Imam Fahad Thumairy suddenly left California for Saudi Arabia shortly before the 9/11 attacks, he knew. MOIA records show that Imam Fahad Thumairy’s request to leave Las Angeles was made at the last minute, with Fahad Thumairy asking on August 28, 2001 for the leave to begin the next day, less than two weeks before the 9/11 attack. Fahad Thumairy left Saudi Arabia on September 6, 2001 and went on a MOIA “work trip” to attend a MOIA propagation conference in Denmark alongside Sowailem and other high level MOIA officials. Fahad Thumairy’s sudden, unexpected departure from Los Angeles prior to the 9/11 attacks shows that he had some foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Coincidentally the Abdulaziz al-Hijji family fled their home in the Prestancia gated community in Sarasota, Florida, on August 27, 2001, returning to Saudi Arabia shortly before the September 11th attacks. The al-Hijji family had hosted several of the 9/11 hijackers including pilots Mohamed Atta the planes operations boss, Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah. As of September 2003, the FBI had determined that Fahad al Thumairy was a radical Islamic extremist, identifying him as “part of the Al-Qaeda linked extremist Suroori network in Saudi Arabia.” FBI agent in Sarasota told me at several meetings post 9/11 that 'there ain't no coincidences in terrorism".
Imam Fahad Al-Thumairy is also believed to have assisted the same two 9/11 muscle hijackers in San Diego. Mussaed Ahmed al-Jarrah the boss of MOIA in the USA, a Saudi diplomat, is suspected by the FBI of instructing al-Thumairy and al-Bayoumi to aid the 9/11 hijackers. Evidence also suggests a historical link between Saudi-exported Wahhabism and extremist ideologies. Saudi Arabia has funded the global promotion of Wahhabism, which critics argue has contributed to radicalization. Before 9/11, some Saudi-based charities with ties to Al Qaeda channeled funds to extremist groups, including through U.S. offices. The charity that caused by far the most friction between the U.S. and Saudi governments after/before 9/11 was the al-Haramain Islamic Foundation. With headquarters in Riyadh and under the supervision of the Islamic Affairs Ministry (MIOA), al-Haramain once had branches in 50 countries, including one in the United States where its office was in Ashland, Oregon. U.S. government had identified 20 al-Haramain offices where some of their officials were “aiding and abetting al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups,” according to the Monograph on Terrorist Financing, published by the 9/11 Commission in conjunction with its 2004 report.
The Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation was under the supervision of the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA) and Musaed al-Jarrah who was the assistant head of the Islamic Affairs Department at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. from 1998 to 2001. In August 1998, Saleh Al Sheikh was MOIA’s Vice Minister and second-in-command and, as such, supervised the operations of Al-Haramain. The Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation was dissolved by the Saudi government in 2004 after being identified as a front for financing terrorism and Al-Qaeda. Soliman al-Buthe (Saudi) a director of the Ashland OR branch who was indicted for money laundering is now a fugitive living in Saudi Arabia. Pete Seda another director of the Ashland OR branch who was also indicted and is now a fugitive. The U.S. Department of the Treasury designated the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation (AHF) for having provided financial and material support to al-Qaeda, as well as a wide range of designated terrorists and terrorist organizations. The United States and United Nations also designated in 2004 the former leader of AHF, Aqeel Abdelaziz Al-Aqil. The 2004 FBI/CIA Joint Assessment states that the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation (“Al Haramain”) was led by two Saudi government cabinet members. Two Saudi cabinet members officially supervise [Al Haramain’s] activities. The Minister of Islamic Affairs (MOIA), Sheikh Saleh Bin Abdul Aziz Bin Mohammed Bin Ibrahim Al Shaykh in office
1996 – 8 December 2014 he was re-appointed in February 2015, was also the titular head and superintendent of [Al Haramain]. In January 2018, Ash-Sheikh called for the defense of a Muslim Jerusalem, and publicly stated his support for the Palestinian cause, Hamas and PIJ terrorist groups. The Al-Haramain foundation was part of the Saudi Joint Relief Committee, which is headed by the Minister of Interior, Prince Nayif bin Abdul-Aziz al-Sau’d, a member of the Saudi royal family and head of Mabahith. Al Haramain Islamic Foundation (AHF) US branch was at 1257 Siskiyou Blvd, Ashland, Oregon and an office at 2151 E. Division Street, Springfield, Missouri. Headquarters were in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The foundation undertook religious activities such as sponsorship of preachers, imams and teachers as well as publishing and distributing Islamic books, like translations of the Qur'an. The foundation also undertook building and supervising mosques, schools and Islamic centers, it was directly linked to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA). The branch offices of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation in Somalia and Bosnia are clearly linked to terrorist financing. The Somalia office of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation was linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network and Al-Itihaad al-Islamiya (AIAI), a Somali terrorist group. Al Haramain Islamic Foundation Somalia employed AIAI members and provided them with salaries through Al-Barakaat Bank, which was designated on November 7, 2001 under E.O. 13224 because of its activities as a principal source of funding, intelligence and money transfers for Osama bin-Laden.
Nationwide Support Network for 9/11 Hijackers of Saudi Funded Imam’s included Anwar al-Awlaki and Omar Abdi Mohamed in San Diego and Muneer Arafat in Sarasota. There was Group of Imam’s in USA linked to Al-Qaeda operatives prior to 9/11 that were paid by Saudi Arabia via the MOIA. Imam’s in the USA are paid about $1,700 per month by The Ministry of Islamic Affairs in Saudi Arabia to spread “Wahhabism”. The collision of Saudi missionary work and suspicions of terrorist financing in southern California illustrates the perils and provocations of a multibillion-dollar effort by Saudi Arabia to spread its religion of hate around the world.
Imam Omar Abdi Mohamed turned out to be a core member of Al-Qaeda, an advance man for the 9/11 hijackers in San Diego CA. The nationwide support network of Imams for 9/11 hijackers in the USA was headed up by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs overseen by boss Mutaeb al-Sudairy and local Imams like Fahad Al-Thumairy San Diego, Anwar Al-Awlaki San Diego – Falls Church, and Imam Muneer Arafat Sarasota Fl. Roving al-Qaeda Agent Ziyad Khaleel links to all these Imams, he was a roommate of Mutaeb Sudairy in 2000 and Muneer Arafat in 1999. New evidence includes video of Omar al-Bayoumi with Saudi diplomats and Ministry of Islamic Affairs propagators, who FBI had found to have “a nexus to al Qaeda.” Upon moving to Columbia, Missouri, Ziyad Khaleel began using the surname Sadaqa as early as 1996. That year he was a fundraiser and one of eight regional directors of the Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA), which the government later determined was a front for al-Qaeda and Hamas.New evidence includes video showing Omar al-Bayoumi’s close relationship with Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki, who the CIA killed in a 2011 drone strike as a senior leader of al Qaeda, he was a core member of al-Qaeda while living in the USA. The FBI/CIA found “evidence [that] official Saudi entities, chiefly the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and associated nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), provide financial and logistical support to individuals in the United States…some of whom are associated with terrorism-related activity of al-Qaeda.”THE TIMES UK Sept 6, 2025. Revealed after 24 years, how UK was forced to free 9/11 ‘plotter’. Omar al-Bayoumi was arrested in Birmingham days after the 9/11 atrocity. But police were never given crucial evidence by the FBI. The declassified FBI Operation Encore materials portrayed Saudi spy Omar Bayoumi not as an innocent bystander but as someone deeply tied to Musaed al-Jarrah head of Saudi Religious Ministry (Imams) and possibly Saudi intelligence networks with Ziyad Khaleel in America. It references a 2017 assessment by the FBI’s Arabian Peninsula Squad, which had concluded Omar Bayoumi was a “co-optee” of the Saudi General Intelligence Presidency, its secret service, he was a spy. It found the assistance given to 9/11 hijackers Hazmi and Mihdhar was consistent with a co-ordinated terrorist support operation, rather than a series of chance encounters, and involved individuals with official connections to Saudi Arabia. Mohamed Atta would be designated leader of the 9/11 Attacks, and Nawaf Al-Hazmi would be designated as the deputy and second-in-command.
In St. Louis, from 1996 to 2000, Muneer Arafat became a well-known Jihad lecturer at different Masjids and built up quite a following. Muneer Arafat gave lectures at local mosques that almost exclusively focused on Jihad week in and week out and this got him into trouble with Sheikh Muhammad Nur of the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis who at one point banned Muneer Arafat from giving lectures at the Gateway Masjid.
Jihad preaching Imam Muneer Arafat banned in St Louis but welcomed in Sarasota in March 2000, WTH? Al Qaeda choseS Southern California as the beachhead for the 9/11 attacks because of the longstanding Sunni extremist cells in Los Angeles and San Diego supported by the Saudi government through the Saudi Embassy, Consulate, Mana, Fahad al-Thumairy, and Omar Bayoumi, so what was the lure of Sarasota County for the three 9/11 hijack pilots including the boss Mohamed Atta?Copyright Protection: Bill Warner Investigations Sarasota Fl Original Articles @billdetective
