Dick McManus The Saudis, AWOL Bush et al and the Israelis have been running off-the books-covert operations (aka not funded by the US Congress). Here are the URL/links to a chapter of my online book which I think will explain why I think this is the truth. Yo Read more ... u also have to consider what Sibel Edmonds has disclosed about Mark Grossman, the number three man in the Bush State Department. To understand his link, you have to understand the links between Jordan and Israeli defense industries. Turkey’s military is involved in the heroin trafficking business and they get the heroin from Albania. Albania’s main industry is drug smuggling. And preventing the Russian mafias from profiting from the heroin trade is why the US is in Afghanistan. First read this new article about the possible Saudi Arabian link to who was really behind the mass murder on 9/11. Then read my analysis of a link to possible Al Qaeda in the Bosnian vs. Serbia war and how Al Qaeda was used to make the Serbs look like they were doing genocide. In fact, both sides were killed POWs or civilians from time to time. King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al Saud assumed the throne Jan. 23 after the death of King Abdullah, 90, who had ruled Saudi Arabia since 2005. The lawyers filed approximately 4,000 pages of motions and supporting documents in federal court in Manhattan opposing Saudi Arabia’s renewed efforts to be dismissed as a defendant in the long-running civil lawsuit that arose from the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2001. King Salman was a prince when he founded the SHC in 1993 with the support of then-King Fahd to aid Muslims in war-ravaged Bosnia-Herzegovina. A 2004 affidavit by Saudi Minister of State Dr. Mutlib bin Abudllah al-Nafissa describes the commission “as an arm of the Saudi Arabian government” and says “decisions regarding causes to support” were within Salman’s discretion. An affidavit the same year by the commission’s former executive director, Saud bin Mohammad al-Roshood, said the commission spent $448 million on aid between 1993 and 2000. The 9/11 victims contend the commission was not only a charity, but an Islamic organization “created by the government of the kingdom to propagate a radical strain of Islam throughout the world, commonly referred to as Wahhabism.” The SHC “served as a primary conduit for the Kingdom’s massive sponsorship of al Qaeda’s jihad in the Balkans,” plaintiff’s court papers say. To back it up, the pleadings cited both detailed investigative reports from the mid-1990s and interviews with witnesses like Ali Hamad, who helped coordinate al Qaeda’s military operations in Bosnia and was later convicted and jailed for a 1997 car bombing in Herzegovina. Among other things, Hamad testified that the SHC provided him and other al Qaeda members with false employment papers so they could travel freely in the Balkans. A United Nations-sponsored investigation determined Salman, the new king, “transferred in excess of $120 million from his personal accounts and SHC accounts under his control to the Third World Relief Agency [TWRA]” from July 1992 to July 1995, the pleading says. Pipeline for arms The 9/11 Commission identified Third World Relief as an al Qaeda front and pipeline for illegal arms shipments to al Qaeda fighters in the Balkans. In October 2001, the U.S. and NATO raided SHC’s office in Sarajevo. On computer hard drives, the pleading says, investigators discovered files on deploying chemical agents with crop dusters, information on how to make fake State Department badges, and photographs and maps of Washington, marking prominent government buildings.
