Bin Laden Manifests

Craig Unger, July 22

For months we’ve known that approximately two dozen members of the bin Laden family were among the 142 passengers on the White House-approved Saudi evacuation, but exactly which members of the family were on the flights? This week, Senator Frank Lautenberg(D-NJ) released the passenger list for the September 19, 2001, Boston to Paris flight, showing who was on the flight for the first time. Two names in particular might be of interest to investigators. The documents show that Khalil Binladin boarded in Orlando. According to the German wire service Deutsche Presse-Agentur, Khalil, who had business interests in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, had won the attention of Brazilian investigators because of his visits to the Minas Gerais capital, Belo Horizonte, which was allegedly a Hezbollah training center. Another passenger, Omar Awad bin Laden, a nephew of Osama’s, lived with his brother Abdullah, who was a key figure in forming the American branch of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth. Federal agents raided WAMY this spring. The FBI has described the group as a “suspected terrorist organization.” See the documents. (http://houseofbush.com/bush_saudi_files/919.php)

9. here we go

A top al-Qaida operative in U.S. custody has revealed that key Saudi Arabian and Pakistani figures had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 terrorist plot against the United States, according to a new book. In "Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11," author Gerald Posner also says three Saudi royal princes who had contacts with the terror network died unexpectedly within a week last year, and a Pakistani military officer was killed seven months later.

While he concedes that the deaths could be "coincidences," Posner says, they occurred after the CIA had passed along to Saudi and Pakistani officials information it had obtained from Abu Zubaydah, a key associate of al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden. "My gut tells me that if Zubaydah's information was accurate, our error was telling the Saudis what we had," he said in an interview. "People did not want them to talk, and took them out. Can I prove it? No."

Two of the subjects, Saudi Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz and Pakistani Air Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir, "knew that an attack was scheduled for American soil" on Sept. 11, 2001, but did not know where, when or any other details about which to warn U.S. officials, Posner writes. Nor could they expose Bin Laden without revealing their own ties to al-Qaida, he adds.

"The followup question is, does that information from Zubaydah mean anything? Did the (Saudi) government know?" Posner said in the interview.

10. somebody's lying their ASSES off, or changing stories

from Unger's House of Bush House of Saud:

Former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke told me, and later the 9/11 commission, about discussions in the White House that allowed the flights to begin.

Clarke says his advice was that the Saudis should be able to leave only after they had been vetted by the FBI. A basic procedure in any crime investigation is to interview friends and relatives of the primar y suspect. When I talked to FBI special agents who participated in the Saudi evacuation, however, they said that they identified the passengers boarding the flights but did not have lengthy interviews with them. "Here you have an attack with substantial links to Saudi Arabia," says John L. Martin, a former Justice Department official who supervised investigation and prosecution of national security offenses for 18 years. "You would want to talk to people in the Saudi royal family and the Saudi government, particularly since they have pledged cooperation."

Robert Mueller had taken over at the FBI just one week before 9/11 and cannot be held responsible for the bureau's shortcomings before the attacks. But he should be asked about the departure of the Saudis. How is it possible that this could have happened? Did the White House order the evacuation -- and thereby interfere in an investigation into the murder of nearly 3,000 people?

If such interviews had taken place, investigators might have uncovered a trove of intelligence. During the summer of 2001, just a few months before 9/11, several of the bin Ladens attended the wedding of Osama's son in Afghanistan, where Osama himself was present.

Carmen bin Laden, an estranged sister-in-law of the Al Qaeda leader, has said she suspects many family members have continued to aid and abet him.

Could the bin Ladens have shed light on these assertions? Two relatives, Abdullah and Omar bin Laden, had been investigated by the FBI as recently as September 2001 for their ties to the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, which has allegedly funded terrorism. The 9/11 commission should ask Mueller if they were on board. I have also obtained documents showing that Abdullah and Omar were being investigated by the FBI in September 2001. Mueller should be asked about the status of that investigation.
