Cited on a no-fly-list, Gilbert Chagoury said he he had regularly traveled to the United States without incident until this January. Given the timing, it appears Chagoury was ensnared by changes in the criteria for the antiterrorism list after Abdulmutallab's failed bombing attempt. The accused bomber grew up in Chagoury’s homeland of Nigeria, and Chagoury said he was acquainted with the suspect’s father, a Nigerian banker.“He has always been a great banker and a very nice gentleman,” said Chagoury of Abdulmutallab’s father, who had gone to the US Embassy to sound an alarm about his son’s possible recruitment as a terrorist before the December attempted attack.

Chagoury has been a supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton since the 1990s. He has funded their election campaigns and is a major donor to the Clinton Foundation.....pledging a billion dollars (yes, a billion) to the foundation. In 2010, ABC News reported on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's apology to Chagoury for his detention at Teterboro airport for over four hours because of inclusion on a no-fly list.
