Newsweek: The Saudi-Al Qaeda Connection - New Documents

http://www.msnbc.com/news/964663.asp?0cl=c1

A cache of documents purportedly recovered from the files of ex-Taliban chief Mullah Omar in Afghanistan provides potentially damning new evidence of a secretive money trail through which millions of dollar in funds from Saudi Arabia allegedly flowed to Al Qaeda terrorists in the late 1990s.

ONE OF the documents, obtained by NEWSWEEK, appears to be a direct order from Mullah Omar to the Afghan ambassador in Pakistan to turn over $2 million “in Saudi Arabia aids” to Jon Juma Namangani, a charismatic former Soviet paratrooper who became one of the most feared terrorists in Central Asia.

Namangani—who headed the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the U.S. State Department designated a terrorist group—was once a close associate of Osama bin Laden until he was killed in a U.S. bombing raid nearly two years ago.

The letter is among hundreds of pages of documents that were purportedly recovered from Mullah Omar’s official files after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in the fall of 2001. Some 39 pages of these documents were recently turned over by sympathetic Afghan sources to agents of Ron Motley, the lead U.S. lawyer in a massive $1 trillion lawsuit against top Saudi government officials, charities and leading businessmen filed on behalf of the families of victims of the September 11 terror attacks.

...was Al Qaeda with Taliban support that launched the attack,

Then it was Al Qaeda with Taliban support and the support of most of Afghanistan that participated in the attack. t

Then it was Al Qaeda plus the Taliban and the support of most of Afghanistan.

Then it was Al Qaeda plus the Taliban and the support of most of Afghanistan, along with the aid of Iraq with Saddam just itching to use his weapons of mass destruction on anyone within range.

Now it is Al Qaeda plus the Taliban and the support of most of Afghanistan, along with the aid of Iraq with Saddam just itching to use his weapons of mass destruction on anyone within range, with the financial backing of Saudi Arabia, the original home of Osama Bin Laden.

And the Bushie Neocons have also threatened Syria, Jordan, and Iran.

The only common denominator in this whole fiasco are the Bushies and their all too obvious desire to control the oil of the Middle East.

Oh, and just in case anyone missed it, have you noticed that some of the other OPEC nations that are not currently under the Bushies' control are rapidly becoming destabilized?

OPEC countries under U. S. control:

Kuwait
Qatar
United Arab Emirates

OPEC countries being destabilized:

Iraq
Venezuela
Nigeria
Saudi Arabia
Indonesia
Iran

OPEC countries not currently being destabilized or under U. S. control:

Libya
Algeria

EOM

they were not directly responsible and, in keeping with the organizational structure, that some small splinter group acting largely on their own did it. This may explain how it slipped through the net.

I do not know how true this is, but why not investigate?
