Al Qaeda 'financed from Eindhoven'

23 April 2003

AMSTERDAM — A director of the Islamic foundation Al Waqf al Islami in Eindhoven, Ahmad Al Hussaini, is included in a list of 20 Saudi Arabian business leaders alleged to have provided financial support to the Al Qaeda terror network.

A prominent Al Qaeda member drew up the list, according to US firm JCB Consulting, which is investigating the financing of Osama bin Laden's network on behalf of 600 families of the September 11 terrorist attack victims.

JCB spokesman Damien Martinez told Dutch current affairs television programme Nova on Tuesday night that the list was found during a raid on the Saudi Arabian charity, Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Bosnian police conducted the raid in the autumn of 2002 in co-operation with the American FBI.

According to the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, Al Hussaini has been a member of the board of directors of Al Waqf al Islami since June 1991. The foundation's headquarters is located at the Al Furkaan mosque in the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven.

Dutch secret service AIVD has refused to comment on the matter and the precise nature of the list is not yet clear.

But the AIVD included the Al Waqf al Islami foundation in a report last year that identified the foundation as one of several extremist groups with close ties with Islamic primary schools in the Netherlands. The foundation was also described as a radical Islamic group.

Also the al-Waqf foundation publishes schoolbooks for islamic schools in the Netherlands containing extremists texts:

Islamic educational books encourage hate against non-believers

From NOVA TV, by Peter ter Horst en Siem Eikelenboom

In the Netherlands there is a systematic distribution of fundamentalistic and hate-encouraging texts from extremistic muslims.

Nova (Dutch newsprogram) has done an investigation of the politic islam in the Netherlands and discovered that in many of the texts there is a call for hate against Christians, Jews, woman and homosexuals.

"I have been given oders to fight the people, to wage war with them, until they confess that allah is the only and true god and mohammed is his prophet", is one of the texts in a book that is currently in use by some schools for childeren aging 4 to 12 years in the Netherlands. The educational books are from the foundation Al Waqf from Eindhoven (Dutch city), that holds connections with Saudi-Arabia.

Criminal code expert A. Ellian from the university of Amsterdam says that the educational books from the foundation Al Waqf from Eindhoven call out for hate. In one of the studybooks from Al Waqf the teachers are instructed to motivate their "students to behave like conquerors".

Foundation Al Waqf aslo has a youthorganization where on the internet a cyber-imam answers a lot of questions from young muslims. Questions on this site are about the way islam teaches about homosexuality: "... the argument (about the punishment of homosexuality) that is amongst the "learned" is only about the way of how the punishment has to be; some say that the person needs to be beheaded with a sword, others say that he has to be tossed from a high point and then to be stoned".

The Amsterdam mosque and the foundation El Tawheed have spead a flyer where there is a warning about Christian celebrations/holidays: "How can you join the festivities from the enemy just as if it where you're own?". Also on the website of the foundation is stated about how muslims must deal with neighbors that are non-believers; "Advised is it not to live amongst them" and "We must never make friendship with them".

Minister Van Boxtel of Immigration reacts in NOVA about these statements. He announces a BVD (Dutch NSA) rapport about the influence of fundamentalistic muslimorganizations on education. This rapport is due somewhere in 2002. Also Van Boxtel askes, after the NOVA broadcast about this information, his collegue Hermans from Education for better control on these issues.

Ahmad Al Hussaini, is included in a list of 20 Saudi Arabian business leaders alleged to have provided financial support to the Al Qaeda terror network.

don't know how common the surname "Al Hussaini" is in Saudi, but it is coincidental that one of Al Q's financial supporters, Ahmad Al Hussaini bears the same last name of alleged OKC bombing participant, Hussain Al Hussaini?

also interesting is if busting this acknowledged muslim benevolent society life line to Al Q may be connected 9/11 insider trading as speculated by L,Towm on another thread recently????

Thanks for the post.

Good catch. I don't know either. Hope someone else weighs in.

A historical precedent to keep in mind is the British campaign to eradicate Piracy on the High Seas in the early 1800's. They (obviously) blew any pirate ships out of the water when found, and also made life REALLY, REALLY tough on the pirate's bankers and money launderers.

Whether this group was a participant in the trades that were reported on, I really do not know...

Certainly is possible though.

I think the German connection is way more interesting than the Iraqi connection....http://www.madcowprod.com/....What do Andrew Strassmeir and Mohammed Atta have in common?

[thinden]

let me guess: same boss?

inkterestink article, too!

[rubbertramp]

I think the use of Atta was last minute....judging from his flight from Portland. He has revealed the hand of the elite, his ties to Maxwell Air base, his training in Hamburg and his paymaster Mohmad Ahmed being in Washington DC with notables such as Graham et al...his playboy, un-muslim demeanor in Fla.

He is the strongest weakest link.
