<<<H. The Case Against Bin Ladin
In the days following the Setember 11 attacks, the FBI received additional photograpsh from the surveillance of the Malaysia meeting. One of these, the FBI quickly learned, was a photograph of Khallad. The Bureau also learned that the January 2001 photo identification of Khallad by the joint FBI/CIA asset had been mistaken. The person thought to be Khallad was actually Nawaf al-Hazmi. The conclusion that Khallad had attended the Malaysian meeting was neveltheless correct
Later in September, the FBI prepared an analysis of Bin Ladin's responsibility for the Setember 11 attacks to help the State Department develop a "White Paper" that could be shared with foreign governments:
Even at this early stage of the investigation, the FBI has developed compelling evidence (the analysis concluded) which points to Bin Ladin and al-Qa'ida as the perpetrators of this attack. By way of illustration, at least two of the hijackers met with a known senior al-Qa'ida terrorist which reliable information demonstrates orchestrated the attack on USS Coile and who was involved in the planning of the East Africa Embassy Bombings.
The two hijackers were al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi. The senior al-Qa'ida terrorist was Khallad. The place they met was Malaysia. The facts linking al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi to Khallad and therefore to Bin Ladin became the crux of the case the State Department made to governments around the world that Bin Ladin should be held accountable for the September 11 attacks.>>>

There you have it boys and girls, the entire case of the Bush Cartel against bin Ladin. The CIA had photos of a meeting in Malaysia which two of the alleged hijackers attended. The CIA identified a bin Ladin associate, Khallad, in one of the photos, but it turns out Arabs all look alike to the CIA and they guessed wrong on the identification. But, wonder of wonders, after viewing all the photos in the past, a NEW set of photos, correcting the mistaken identity, miraculously appeared after 9/11.
I met President Nixon's brother some years back. I guess that makes me a prime suspect in Watergate. |
