Saudi Spies and Imams at San Diego Mosque that Aided 9/11 Hijackers were Omar Bayoumi, Fahad Thumairy, Anwar Awlaki, Musaed Jarrah HOLY SHEET!

Saudi spy's in America prior to 9/11 terror attack were Omar al-Bayoumi, Imam Fahad Al-Thumairy, Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, Ziyad Khaleel aka Ziyad Sadaqa, Imam Muneer Arafat, Imam Omar Mohamed, Imam Osama Bassnan and MOIA Imam boss Musaed al-Jarrah head of Saudi Religious Ministry of Islamic Affairs, the MOIA, and linked to Saudi intelligence networks and Al-Qaeda. 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. Saudi spy Omar Ahmed Mustafa al-Bayoumi, DOB 11/29/1957, Passport Saudi B758502, SSN 616-76-8943 issued in California in 1994. Mutaib al-Sudairy was a lower-ranking diplomat investigated by the FBI for alleged links to the 9/11 hijackers in San Diego. According to court documents, Mutaib al-Sudairy was an employee of the Saudi MOIA, which sent him to San Diego in late 1998 and early 1999 to preach at the Al Madina Mosque. The control center for the Saudi Government’s MOIA and Islamic Affairs operations in the U.S. was on the Saudi Embassy’s (Washington D.C.) second floor where Khalid al Sowailem and Musaed al Jarrah worked. In September 2025 a Sunday Times investigation revealed that the FBI did not inform the London Metropolitan Police that the American investigation into San Diego spy Omar al-Bayoumi from 1998-99 concluded that he was working for Saudi intelligence. The primary foreign intelligence agency of Saudi Arabia is the General Intelligence Presidency (GIP)

Saudi Arabia (SA): Ever since they conquered most of the Arabian peninsula by means of severe atrocities a century ago, the House of Saud (SA) has used the holy places of Islam as a base from which to fight against all modernizing and liberal trends in the Muslim world, and to counter them by promoting religious fanaticism. With their vast oil wealth, they spread their ultra-fundamentalist Wahhabi creed — the creed of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda — around the world via the many universities, religious schools, mosques, and preachers (Imams) they financed. PI Bill Warner's Most Likely and Usual Suspects in 9/11 Support Network: Omar Bayoumi, Imam Fahad Thumairy, Imam Anwar Awlaki, Ziyad Khaleel, Imam Muneer Arafat, Imam Omar Mohamed, Osama Bassnan and MOIA Boss Musaed Jarrah!

Imam Muneer Arafat and Al-Qeada agent Ziyad Khaleel and Saudi official Mutaib al-Sudairy were all roommates at one time or another in Columbia MO from 1998 to 2000, small world, eh? An FBI investigation conducted out of the New York Field Office found that the two Riyadh officials — Mutaib al-Sudairy and Adel Mohammad al-Sadhan — had a “past connection” to the 9/11 hijackers and others who assisted them, according to a declassified Sept. 28, 2010, memo. Mutaib al-Sudairy was also linked “to suspected Al Qaeda operatives in Saudi Arabia,” the report says. Fahad al-Thumairy, an imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, Calif., was listed as “a contact” for Adel Mohammed al-Sadhan during that first visit to Los Angeles. Fahad Al-Thumairy also later provided “assistance to 9/11 hijackers Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar” — both of whom helped hijack American Airlines Flight 77 and fly it into The Pentagon on 9/11, the FBI files state. Fahad Al-Thumairy, the imam, had been placed at the southern California mosque by Musaed al-Jarrah, director of Islamic affairs at the Saudi embassy in Washington.

As much as what has been revealed by the FBI about the 9/11 hijackers support network in San Diego CA prior to 9/11, there is twice as much to be revealed about the support network of spies and radical Imams planted by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs for the three 9/11 hijack pilots stationed in Sarasota Fl from July 2000 to January 2001, Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah!

PHONE CALLS; On December 9th, 1999 at 12:55 PM a call made from the King Fahad Mosque (KFM) office 310-204-1250 in Culver City CA to Sarasota, FL at 941-358-9841. Why was a call placed to Sarasota Fl from the office of terrorist Imam Fahad Thumairy to a person in Sarasota Fl on December 9th, 1999? 3 months later Al-Qaeda linked Muneer Arafat shows up at the Sarasota Mosque in March 2000 as it's new Imam. Prior to the 9/11/2001 attacks, Saudi Arabia paid the bulk of the KFM Mosque’s expenses. At the King Fahad Mosque’s 1998 Grand Opening, Prince Abdulaziz pledged that Saudi Arabia would pay the operating expenses for the mosque, which were estimated at $500-600,000 annually. In 1999 radical Fahad Thumairy was the Imam at the King Fahad Mosque. Saudi Arabia established accounts at the Saudi Embassy and Saudi Consulate to pay the mosque’s expenses. Prior to the 9/11 Attacks, Saudi Arabia continued to control and operate the King Fahad Mosque, like the Ibn Taymiyah Mosque before it, as a radicalized mosque that provided support to Sunni extremism. The activities of Saudi Arabia, it's Imam/diplomat Imam Fahad Thumairy, and Thumairy’s followers at the King Fahad Mosque were a seamless continuity of the operations of the Sunni extremist cell at the Ibn Taymiyah Mosque.

The evidence shows that Imam Fahad al-Thumairy, Musaed al-Jarrah and Omar al-Bayoumi were part of an extremist platform KSA created to advance the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA) radical anti-American agenda closely intertwined with Al-Qaeda (AQ) terrorism. Saudi Religious Ministry of Islamic Affairs is the MOIA that controls all the Imams. AQ would never have deployed 9/11 hijackers Hazmi and Mihdhar to California unless a trusted network was in place to receive and support them. This evidence renders Saudi Arabia vicariously liable for its agents’ support for the hijackers, regardless of express direction. Further the proof shows that senior Saudi MOIA officials such as Mutaib al-Sudairy did in fact “direct” Thumairy and Bayoumi. The two men were part of the Saudi Religious Ministry of Islamic Affairs MOIA-led militant extremist network of Imams headed by Khalid al-Sowailem, Mutaib al-Sudairy, Adel al-Sadhan, and other more senior MOIA Saudi officials. Khalid Al Sowailem, Saudi diplomat, MOIA U.S. Director of Da’wah, Saudi Embassy, Washington, DC, IFSIT Board Director. Adel Al Sadhan, MOIA Propagator and Saudi diplomat, Saudi Embassy, Washington, DC & Norman, OK. Prior to the 9/11 Attacks, Saudi Arabia was not a U.S. “ally” nor AQ’s “sworn enemy.” Rather, MOIA joined with AQ to lead a campaign of violent jihad directed against the U.S. KSA’s claim that MOIA was “quietist” misappropriates a domestic political term that has no bearing on the anti-U.S. campaign that MOIA promoted. Saudi Arabia brought MOIA officials, including Imam Fahad Thumairy, as well as Omar Bayoumi, into the U.S. under false pretenses. The facts compel the inference that AQ sent its first operatives for the 9/11 attacks to Los Angeles and San Diego only because of its trust in the MOIA-led support network established there. March 31-April 1, 2001 - Mutaeb al-Sudairy and likely also Adel al-Sadhan met with 9/11 hijackers Hazmi and Hanjour as the hijackers’ traveled cross-country, contrary to Saudi Arabia’s denials. Mutaeb Al-Sudairy, registered MOIA Propagator, Saudi Embassy,
Washington, DC & Columbia, MO.

Omar Bayoumi called Mutaib al-Sudairy at his assigned MOIA workplace in Columbia, MO to arrange that meeting, and kept handwritten notes of Mutaib al-Sudairy’s contact details, as well as three cities on the hijackers’ planned route east. Omar Bayoumi also handwrote Hazmi’s AQ code-name for the 9/11 Attacks - “Rabi’ah Ibn Ka’ab” – and linked it to Mutaib al-Sudairy’s “Columbia, Missouri” location. Omar Bayoumi’s notes reveal intimate knowledge of 9/11 hijacker Hazmi’s AQ mission and show that Omar Bayoumi and Mutaib al-Sudairy were not outsiders to AQ’s 9/11 plot. Al-Qaeda agent Ziyad Khaleel also lived in Columbia MO and was an IARA fundraiser and one of eight regional directors of the Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA) that funded Al-Qadea and UBL. 

9/11 Families' lawyer in communication with Judge Netburn: Encore document shows 'a cancer' within Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, it was a Saudi spy network of Imams. A known Saudi spy who helped the 9/11 hijackers in San Diego in 1999 and 2000 was Omar Al-Bayoumi who had direct links to Mataib Al-Sudairy. Mutaib Al-Sudairy was roommate of Al-Qaeda procurement agent Ziyad Khaleel aka Ziyad Sadaqa for 4 months in 2000, in Columbia MO. Al-Qaeda procurement agent Ziyad Khaleel aka Ziyad Sadaqa was also roommates for some time in Columbia MO during 1998 and 1999 with Imam Muneer Arafat who arrives in Sarasota Fl in March of 2000 just 4 months prior to Mohamed Atta and his two other Hijack pilot pals showing up in Sarasota County for flight training. 

Imam Muneer Arafat was arrested in November 2002 in Sarasota for expired Visa and shipped to St Louis to face a terrorism Grand Jury. The FBI flipped Muneer Arafat in St Louis and when he returned to Sarasota Fl in December of 2002 he was wearing a wire, he was now a paid confidential informant (CI) he got $35,000 from the FBI for the Sarasota 2002 to 2003 terror investigation. The FBI investigated Al-Qaeda linked Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, later linked to two of the 9/11 hijackers in San Diego, the Fort Hood shooter, and the Christmas Day bomber, beginning in June 1999 through March 2000, after the FBI learned Imam Anwar al-Awlaki had been contacted by Al-Qaeda agent Ziyad Khaleel aka Ziyad Sadaqa, they all knew each other prior to 9/11. 

Media Newsflash; Prior to 9/11 Al-Qaeda made guys (spys included) living in America did not roommate with anyone other than other Al-Qaeda made guys who they shared phone lines, faxes and computers with. Imam Muneer Arafat in Sarasota Fl was Al-Qaeda connected. Judge Gorge B. Daniels of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, ruled that the 9/11 families have presented credible evidence of Saudi government involvement in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Nearly 24 years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a federal judge in New York decided Thursday that Saudi Arabia can face a civil lawsuit alleging the kingdom sponsored, aided and supported the al-Qaeda hijackers. 

Documents Released By FBI reveal Nationwide Saudi Imam network that supported 9/11 hijackers. Lawyers for relatives of 9/11 victims claim that a group of extremist religious leaders (Imams) in Saudi Arabia and in America aided the 9/11 hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001. Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance (MOIA) this government ministry oversees Islam-related affairs, manages and regulates mosques, Imams and prayer halls. In the late 1990's and early 2000's Musaed Al-Jarrah was the head of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs he traveled the US and kept in contact with Imam's (Holy Men - Clerics) who he supervised and assigned to various locations to continue the spread of Wahhabism, strict fundamentalist Islam. Musaed Al-Jarrah would have had direct contact with Imams linked to al-Qaeda like Anwar al-Awlaki terminated in 2011 by CIA-DOD opp he was born in New Mexico and a U.S. citizen, Omar Mohamed arrested December 19, 2003 and Sarasota Imam Muneer Arafat arrested in November 2002. A FBI source spoke of Muneer ARAFAT the Imam of the local Sarasota mosque and that Muneer ARAFAT was a member of the Kuwaiti Islamic Brotherhood, and he follows the radical belief and teachings of Sheikh ALBAZ, and Arafat wishes harm to the United States. Muneer Arafat was born in Kuwait City, Kuwait.

Ziyad Khaleel, also known as Khalil Ziyad, Ziyad Sadaqa, and Ziyad Abdulrahman, was a Palestinian-American al-Qaeda member, a made guy, based in the United States, primarily in Colorado, Orlando Florida, Michigan and Columbia 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. Khaleel was a roving jack-of-all-trades in the American underground militant Islamic community, while in Orlando, Florida, Khaleel served as the regional director for the Columbia, Missouri-based Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA), an Islamic charity that funded Al-Qaeda.

Nationwide Support Network for 9/11 Hijackers of Saudi Funded Imam's was Anwar al-Awlaki & Omar Abdi Mohamed in San Diego and Muneer Arafat in Sarasota. Secret ICE Operation Green Quest Investigation in Sarasota linked to Operation Encore 9/11 investigation. Documents Released By FBI reveal Nationwide Saudi Imam network that supported 9/11 hijackers. Saudi Official Mutaeb Sudairy met with al-Qaeda Agents Omar Abdi Mohamed and Ziyad Khaleel who was roommate to Sarasota Imam Muneer Arafat, and on and on it went. There was Group of Imam's in USA linked to Al-Qaeda operatives prior to 9/11 that were paid by Saudi Arabia. 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 of MOIA 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 around the world through the MOIA. 

 

Detailed findings from the 2004 FBI/CIA Joint Assessment about MOIA’s support for AQ and the FBI’s newly declassified July 2021 EC about the “Saudi (Wahhabi)/Salafi/MOIA militant network of Imams…created, funded, directed and supported by the KSA in the U.S.” from the FBI Arabian Peninsula Squad’s two-decade long probe of KSA. Saudi Arabia’s MOIA support network was indispensable in providing AQ with its beachhead for the 9/11 Attacks. The mission that Bin Laden hand-picked 9/11 hijackers Hazmi and Mihdhar to carry out required sustained, meticulous planning for their reception and assistance in California. Thumairy and Bayoumi, with the guidance of MOIA and Saudi Embassy officials, filled these critical roles.

Imam Omar Abdi Mohamed was a MOIA radical jihad preaching Somali 'holy man' paid $1,700 a month by the Saudi government and MOIA to promote Wahhabism at a Somali social center in San Diego CA. He set up a small charity to help 'supposed' famine victims in Somalia, and the charity received more than $365,000 from the suburban Chicago branch of Global Relief foundation, a terrorist-financing entity linked to Al Qaeda according to the indictment the government would ultimately file against Mohamed. He also received $5,000 from Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, a Saudi-supported charity linked to Al-Qaeda. Imam Omar Abdi Mohamed was arrested December 19, 2003 by ICE on Immigration Violations, he had been laundering money for Al-Qaeda. 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. Imam Omar Abdi Mohamed was found guilty October 28, 2005 on the Immigration Violations and sentenced December 20, 2005 he was released from Federal prison on December 22, 2005. Omar Abdi Mohamed did not serve his 1 year and 6 months sentence. In January 2004, U.S immigration officials (ICE) charged Abdi Mohamed with fraud after he allegedly lied about receiving approximately $370,000 from one of those front groups, Global Relief foundation and Al Haramain Islamic Foundation. Nevertheless, Imam Abdi Mohamed walked away from the charge, again. “The Department of Justice told the US. Immigration Court in San Diego, California that the U.S. decided not to prosecute Abdi Mohamed for this crime ‘due to concerns of diplomatic reasons.’

Inside the Saudi 9/11 Cover-Up of the Terrorist Support Network in Sarasota Fl by the FBI and CIA after Sept 11 2001

'FOLLOW THE MONEY' TO SARASOTA, FLORIDA: Inside the Saudi 9/11 Cover-Up of the Terrorist Support Network in Sarasota Fl by the FBI and CIA after Sept 11 2001. Secret ICE Operation Green Quest Investigation of 9/11 Sarasota Fl Support Network in 2002 shut down by FBI in 2003. The FBI appears to have 'protected' the Saudi family in Prestancia Sarasota Fl. The ICE 2002 - 2003 Operation Green Quest Investigation of 9/11 Terrorist Support Network in Sarasota Fl, "follow the money," Saudi funded Ministry of Islamic Affairs linked to support of 9/11 pilot terrorists. Wealthy Saudi Royals connected to Esam Ghazzawi and his son-in-law Abdulaziz al-Hijji, who lived in Ghazzawi's Prestanci home in Sarasota, had been on the FBI terrorist watch list. More information about this reward offer is located on the Rewards for Justice website.

REWARDS FOR JUSTICE, Operation Green Quest and Sarasota Fl...The Tampa FBI is whitewashing the Sarasota Saudi Family and Saudi Gov Connection to 9/11 as it all links directly to Operation Green Quest and Saudi Arabia funded think tanks IIIT and SAAR in Herndon VA. To understand why the FBI is withholding evidence of the involvement of the Sarasota Saudi Family and many others to the 9/11 Hijackers while they were in Sarasota Fl, one has to step back and look at the much bigger and broader picture involving Saudi Arabia. This coverup goes far beyond the suppression of the crucial 28-page chapter from the Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11, concerning Saudi support for the 9/11 hijackers, the concealment of which has continued under different Presidential Administrations to this day. The investigation into the Sarasota Muslim network and Sami al-Arian in 2002 to 2003 directly links to the Bureau of Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) 'Operation Green Quest" raid of IIIT. The Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) is yet another institution funded by Saudi Arabia. The IIIT Institute’s Herndon, VA, headquarters, located at 555 Grove St., were subject of a March 20, 2002 raid, along with 19 other Saudi funded business and non-profit entities allegedly related to an umbrella corporation known as the SAAR Foundation, as part of a joint FBI-ICE program known as Operation Green Quest. 

As much as what has been revealed by the FBI about the 9/11 hijackers support network in San Diego CA prior to 9/11, there is twice as much to be revealed about the support network of spies and radical Imams planted by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs for the three 9/11 hijack pilots stationed in Sarasota Fl from July 2000 to January 2001, Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah!

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report also noted that at the same time that the Bosnia raid occurred, in March 2002, the FBI was also raiding the Northern Virginia offices of the SAAR Foundation, a front for the Al-Rajhi group, linked both to the Muslim Brotherhood and other hard-core terrorist cells around the globe. "Operation Green Quest" targeted SAAR and the affiliated Safa Group of charitable and business fronts, all tied to the Saudi Arabia regime. The FBI took over the Operation Green Quest investigation in late 2003 or early 2004, as it linked to terrorism, and excluded ICE, there was a huge stink over that move and the IIIT FBI investigation continues. In June 2002, the Washington Post will headline an article, “Infighting Slows Hunt for Hidden al-Qaeda Assets.” [Washington Post, 6/18/2002]. FBI Wants Control of Green Quest – With the creation of the new Department of Homeland Security (see November 25, 2002), the FBI and its parent agency the Justice Department are given a chance to gain total control over Operation Green Quest. 

U.S. Customs Service (ICE) Launches "operation Green Quest" Multi-Agency Initiative to Target Sources of Funding for Terrorist Organizations. Washington, D.C. -- Deputy Treasury Secretary Kenneth Dam, Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff, Treasury Under Secretary of Enforcement Jimmy Gurule, and U.S. Customs Service Commissioner Robert C. Bonner today announced the launch of Operation Green Quest, a new multi-agency financial enforcement initiative. The goal of Operation Green Quest is to augment existing counter-terrorist efforts by bringing the full scope of the government's financial expertise to bear against systems, individuals, and organizations that serve as sources of terrorist funding. The initiative will target current terrorist funding sources and identify possible future funding sources. Underground financial systems, illicit charities, and corrupt financial institutions are among the entities to be scrutinized as possible facilitators of terrorist funding. The initiative will also target counterfeiting, credit card fraud, fraudulent import/export schemes, drug trafficking, cash smuggling, and other activities that may fund terrorists. Led by the U.S. Customs Service ICE, Operation Green Quest will serve as the operational and investigative arm for the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the new Foreign Terrorist Asset Tracking center, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and other entities tracking terrorist assets. Using leads from these entities and leads developed independently, the initiative will launch full-scale investigations resulting in seizures, blocking orders, civil and criminal forfeitures, criminal prosecutions, and other actions.  

Operation Green Quest was to use the full array of law enforcement techniques to pursue its objectives, including undercover operations, electronic surveillance, outbound currency operations, and the exploitation of intelligence data, financial data, trade data, and confidential source data. The initiative will also draw on the resources and expertise of the Treasury and Justice Departments and many other federal agencies. A command and coordination center for Operation Green Quest has been created at Customs Service (ICE) headquarters. A senior Customs official will serve as the director and a senior IRS [Internal Revenue Service] official will serve as the deputy. A senior FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation] official will also be posted to the facility. Two federal prosecutors from the Justice Department and nearly 30 special agents and analysts from the participating agencies will be present. The Customs Money Laundering Coordination Center will be supporting this center. 

The Green Quest coordination center for will be responsible for collecting, managing, and disseminating leads to field agents. The center will serve as a deconfliction mechanism for all investigative activity related to the initiative. In addition, the center will serve as a means to exchange data with the FBI and other agencies targeting terrorist finances and to ensure that their activities are not duplicated by Operation Green Quest. Outside Washington, D.C., Operation Green Quest will have field task forces (Tampa and Bradenton Fl) pursuing terrorist finances. Each of these multi-agency units will be modeled after an existing financial task force in New York known as the "El Dorado Task Force." The first unit will be located at the Customs Special Agent-in-Charge Office in New York and will actually operate as a component of the El Dorado Task Force. By utilizing the existing El Dorado framework for the first field unit, Operation Green Quest will immediately be able to draw on an established financial intelligence center and a large cadre of highly trained special agents, analysts, and bank regulators. 

 

Following the establishment of the task force in New York, Operation Green Quest will consider establishing similar task forces in other parts of the country. Consistent with the 2001 National Money Laundering Strategy, the Customs Service and other participating agencies will monitor the effectiveness of Operation Green Quest based on qualitative, quantitative, and enforcement measurements. The Treasury Department agencies participating in Operation Green Quest are the Customs Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the Secret Service. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and federal prosecutors from the Justice Department's Criminal Division are representing the Justice Department in Operation Green Quest. "Operation Green Quest (ICE) was shut down nationwide due to the conflicts with the FBI in the Sarasota 9/11 investigation which led directly to terrorism".

The U.S. agency (ICE) involved in tracking terrorist funds and terrorist funding was interested in both Esam Ghazzawi and his son-in-law Abdulaziz al-Hijji way before the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces federal laws governing international money laundering and had Esam Ghazzawi and his son-in-law Abdulaziz al-Hijji under investigation. In the mid-1990s, Esam Ghazzawi's name arose when investigators of the renowned corrupt bank BCCI were trying to recover assets from Saudi Prince Fahd bin Salman, and the prince argued that his assets were being held in another account under Esam Ghazzawi's name.  

Green Quest investigators from the Department of Homeland Security (ICE) charge that the FBI deliberately sabotaged their investigations of Esam Ghazzawi and his son-in-law Abdulaziz al-Hijji in Sarasota Fl. Michael Chertoff was apparently an architect of this, as well. Esam Ghazzawi's influence also extends to his children. His 42-year-old son, Adel Ghazzawi, is a board member of the New York-based think tank 'EastWest Institute', which counts the likes of Michael Chertoff, a director of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush and co-author of the Patriot Act.

In October 2001, Michael Chertoff was appointed head of Operation Green Quest by Pres George Bush, a multi-agency initiative to target sources of funding for terrorist organizations, according to a U.S. Customs Service (later ICE) press release. Underground financial systems, illicit charities, and corrupt financial institutions are among the entities to be scrutinized as possible facilitators of terrorist funding. Chertoff told the Associated Press on Oct. 25, 2001 that, ‘The lifeblood of terrorism is money, and if we cut the money we cut the blood supply.’ Chertoff served in the capacity of Assistant Attorney General of the criminal division at the Department of Justice from 2001 to 2003

“They [The FBI] won’t share anything with us,’ said a Homeland Security official. ‘Then they go to the White House and they accuse us (ICE) of not sharing . . . If they can’t take it over, they want to kill it.’ The Treasury Department agencies participating in Operation Green Quest are the Customs Service (ICE), the Internal Revenue Service, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the Secret Service. If nothing else, the battle over Green Quest illustrates the bureaucratic tensions that still plague the war on terror. The creation of the Homeland Security Department was supposed to put an end to such turf fights. The new department took over a diverse assortment of federal agencies that had various responsibilities for combating terrorism, including the Customs Service (ICE), the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Border Patrol.”

ISLAMIC CHARITIES FUNDING AL-QAEDA & OPERATIVES IN USA: “Procurement Agent” for bin Laden, Ziyad Khaleel (a.k.a. Ziyad Sadaqa). In November 1996, the FBI monitors the progress of bin Laden buying a new satellite phone and tracks the purchase to Ziyad Khaleel, a US citizen and radical militant living in Missouri with Imam Muneer Arafat (later in Sarasota Fl). Newsweek will later say that this puts the Sudan-based charity Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) “on the FBI’s radar screen” because Ziyad Khaleel is one of IARA’s eight regional US directors. Furthermore, Ziyad Khaleel (his roommate is Imam Muneer Arafat) is working for the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a Hamas-linked organization co-founded by Mousa Abu Marzook. US intelligence will later reveal that in the late 1990s, IARA is regularly funding al-Qaeda. For instance, it has evidence of IARA giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to bin Laden in 1999. December 1999 Police in Jordan detain Ziyad Khaleel, who the FBI calls a Florida-based “procurement agent” for Osama bin Laden. 

The FBI says Khaleel’s role is to “procure computers, satellite telephones, and covert surveillance equipment” for al-Qaeda leaders, his roommate was Imam Muneer Arafat who moved to Sarasota Fl in early 2000. Ziyad Khaleel and Muneer Arafat were fundraisers for Islamic African Relief Agency and the Holy Land Foundation both designated terrorist supporters of Hamas and Al-Qaeda. UPDATE August 11th, 2021, ABC Action News Tampa I-Team Investigator Adam Walser and Photojournalist Matt McGlashen appear to have some interest in my involvement in a 2002 Sarasota Fl investigation into a terrorist support network that included Imam Muneer Arafat, "We'll see".

UPDATE SEPT 9th, 2021: ABC ACTION NEWS 9/11 SUPPORT NETWORK IN SARASOTA: Click image above for ABC News video and print story. $4,000 phone bills fished from the trash/ Sarasota private investigator Bill Warner started his own 9/11 investigation in 2002. “They were here, in my neighborhood. So I had to look at it, kept looking at it,” Bill Warner said, he partnered with police, sheriff’s deputies and was eventually paid by ICE for providing surveillance photos and phone bills he collected from the garbage cans of people of interest. Bill Warner said some of the cell phone bills he collected were 35-to-40 pages long, with calls made to phone numbers located all over the world. At that time, cell phone and long-distance companies charged by the minute for calls. “The bills you could see they were $1,200, $1500, $2,000, sometimes even $4,000 a month,” Bill Warner said. ”These are guys living in duplexes, driving old cars, who don’t have a job, see more CLICK HERE.

ICE along with Sarasota Police Intel unit and Sarasota County Sheriff Dept Intel unit and myself were the nexus of a 2002 "trade based" money laundering investigation in Sarasota Fl that was eventually taken over by FBI agent Thomas Baugher when it linked to support of terrorism in June 2003. Same time frame as the so-called 2002 FBI Secret Sarasota Investigation of Abdulazziz al-Hijji’s clan in Prestancia Sarasota Fl and their links to 9/11 terrorist pilots. Ain't no coincidences in terrorism as A FBI agent told me on several occasions in 2002 and 2003. I was there and involved in undercover work obtaining nexus connections.

Jihad Preaching Imam Muneer Arafat Had Pilot's License From Parks college in St Louis Before Coming to the Sarasota Mosque in March 2000, and just prior to 9/11 Kamakazi Terror Pilots Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah arrival in July 2000 in Venice Fl and then Laurel Ave W Nokomis Fl until Jan 2001. Suiciders Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah all took pilot training courses in Venice and then Sarasota Fl. The flying Imam Muneer Arafat was a 4 year Grad of Parks College of St. Louis Univ with a BS in Aero Space ENG, Sept 1986 to April 1990. Parks College of St Louis Univ is a flight school.  Imam Muneer Arafat was a well know jihad preacher in the East St Louis area prior to coming to Sarasota in 2000 after purchasing a 2000 blue Isuzu Trooper SUV. 

In St. Louis, 1996 to 2000, Muneer Arafat became a well-known 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? Why did the Saudi funded Ministry of Islamic Affairs send jihad preaching Imam Muneer Arafat to Sarasota Fl?

In early 1999 Muneer Arafat and Ziyad Khaleel lived in Manchester, Missouri, and both were linked to Columbia College in St. Louis. Upon moving to Columbia, Missouri, he was known as Ziyad Khaleel, but 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.

April 3rd 2002 FBI report indicates that at least two people linked to the al-Hijji house in Prestancia Sarasota Fl were taking flight lessons at Huffman Aviation with the 9/11 hijackers in the year 2000. Individuals tied to Huffman Flight School and 9/11 Hijackers by FBI linked to 4224 Escondito Circle Sarasota as family members appear to be Abdulaziz al-Hijji and Adel Ghazzawi son of Esam Ghazzawi.

It appears the Adel Ghazzawi had been staying at 4224 Escondito Circle Sarasota, he also was linked to a address in nearby Longboat Key Fl. Interestingly the flying Imam Muneer Arafat at the Sarasota Mosque who has ties to al-Qaeda members before coming to Sarasota Fl in 2000 also had taken advanced flight lessons, small world, eh? Sarasota Fl was Terror Central from the summer of 2000 and into 2001.

Sarasota Imam Muneer Arafat and his roommate Ziyad Khaleel aka Ziyad Sadaqa were fundraisers for the terrorist organization Holy Land Foundation for Relief which funded Hamas, while in Columbia MO and just prior for Arafat showing up in Sarasota Fl.

Ghassan Elashi is currently located at: McCreary USP a high security Federal prison in Pine Knot KY with a scheduled release date of 06/24/2068, just 47 more years to go, LOL. If Muneer Arafat had not flipped for the FBI in December 2002 he would have been right there in prison with Elashi.

Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs (Imams) in San Diego CA provided support to 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar before attacks.

UPDATE May 18, 2026; Active shooter situation at the Islamic Center of San Diego in Clairemont CA. A total of five people including two teenaged gunmen are dead, Caleb Vazquez, who killed three people alongside Cain Clark at the San Diego Islamic Center. A manifesto revealed the pair were bigoted Nazi sympathizers who disliked a variety of different groups of people. The 75-page document is laden with the same Nazi iconography that Clark was seen wearing during a horrifying livestream video of the attack, including the Black Sun, which is associated with Nazi SS head Heinrich Himmler, and Atomwaffen, which is tied to a violent neo-Nazi group. The Islamic Center of San Diego mosque is the same one that 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, attended in 2000, targeted today. Two of the 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, lived in San Diego and attended the Islamic Center of San Diego. According to reports, some mosque members helped them find housing at Parkwood Apartments and navigate daily life. Terrorist Imam Anwar al-Awlaki also linked to the Islamic Center of San Diego in Clairemont CA at the same time the 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi attended the Mosque. 

At least two of the 9-11 hijackers had a U.S.-based support network, according to a former FBI agent. Danny Gonzalez worked on “Operation Encore,” the still-secret investigation into the two Saudi hijackers who were based in San Diego. Gonzalez told CBS News he’s confident the records of that operation will show the hijackers had help. Gonzalez said the two hijackers — Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar — were helped by a number of Saudis, including Omar al-Bayoumi in San Diego CA. 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi found well-meaning new acquaintances
at the Islamic Center of San Diego, which was only a stone’s throw from the apartment where they first lived. For example, when they purchased a used car (with cash), they bought it from a man who lived across the street from the
Islamic Center and who let them use his address in registering the vehicle, an accommodation “to help a fellow Muslim brother.” Similarly, in April, when their cash supply may have been dwindling, Hazmi persuaded the administrator of the Islamic Center to let him use the administrator’s bank account to receive a $5,000 wire transfer from someone in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (this was KSM’s nephew,Ali Abdul Aziz Ali).

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 in San Diego CA. Did 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 San Diego 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 San Diego CA, 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. Did 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?

The decision to send 9/11 hijackers Khalid Al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi to the San Diego Mosque was supposedly made in Karachi, Pakistan. That’s where one of the 9/11 architects, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, said he found a San Diego phone book at a local flea market. After thumbing through it, he claimed he sent the two 20-something men to the city. Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar arrived here in February of 2000.

San Diego CA, 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar travels before attacks. Sorbi's Flying Club, Al-Rribat Al-Aslami Mosque, La Mesa, Cheetah's Gentlemen's Club, Islamic Center of San Diego, Parkwood Apartments In Clairemont CA.

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
investigating whether he had contact with the September 11th hijackers. In June 2000 a call was placed from Transcom International, a company owned by Quadir-Harunani, to a number subscribed to by Said Bahaji, one of the key members of the Hamburg cell. Quadir Harunani is also a close associate of Usama bin Ladin's half-brother, Abdullah Bin Ladin (discussed below), who was assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.-E87.

2. Abdullah Bin Ladin: Abdullah bin Ladin (ABL) is reportedly Usama bin Ladin's half-brother. He is the President and Director of the World Arab
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. According to an eyewitness report, one of the September 11th hijackers may have visited Alotaibi at his residence; another FBI document notes that a second hijacker may have also visited this address.

5. Hamid Al-Rashid: Al-Rashid is an employee of the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority and was apparently responsible for approving the salary of Omar al Bayoumi. Hamid al-Rashid is also the father of Saud al-Rashid, whose photo was found in a raid of an al-Qa'ida safehouse in Karachi and who has admitted to being in Afghanistan between May 2000 and May 2001.

6. Homaidan Al-Turki: Al-Turki is a Saudi student living in Colorado . According to FBI documents, he has ties to the Saudi Royal Family and the
Saudi Government is funding his education. AI-Turki was in contact with an individual in Germany in 2001 who was also in contact with one of the hijackers prior to the attacts;.

7. Ghassan Al-Sharbi: Al-Sharbi is a Saudi student who was taking flight lessons in the Phoenix area before the September 11 attacks and is mentioned in the "Phoenix EC." The U.S. Government captured al-Sharbi in the same
location where Abu Zubaida was discovered in early 2002 . After Al-Sharbiwas captured, the FBI discovered that he had buried a cache of documents nearby, including an envelope from the Saudi Embassy in Washington that
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 interview him. Saleh Al-Hussayen is 'also the uncle of Sami Al -Hussayen (discussed below). 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.
