Do you know if there is a connection between Al Amoudi or his buddies and that Muslim organization was warned by Miller and her friend that Homeland Security was going to raid the?
I have been doing a little research on Hagel and what I am finding out is that Elias Aburdene, Alamoudi's guy at Rock Creek is the money behind both Wilson and Hagel. Hagel is every bit as dirty as Wilson.
Dr. Wiktorowicz, invited at the request of Senator Hagel, is an acknowledged expert on Islamic culture, including charities, and will discuss the scope of the problem and the importance of charity in the Muslim community.
Okay, I got a chance to review my notes on this. There is a connection between Holy Land Foundation and Abdurahman Alamoudi (aka Abdulrahman Alamoudi, Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi, Abdulrahman Mohamed Omar Alamoudi--you can see why I had lots of "fun" searching on the Alamoudis when I was writing this, LOL). Note that this guy is NOT the Rock Creek Alamoudi but is from the same clan (it is a large clan like the Bin Ladens and many members have similar middle/last names):
III. Alamoudi’s Financial Support of HAMAS
11. Alamoudi is the President of the American Muslim Foundation (“AMF”) and the Secretary of Success Foundation (“Success”). According to a document titled the “Statement of Abdurahman Alamoudi”, found in the search warrant conducted on September 28, 2003, as of March 2003, Alamoudi is also a director of Success. I know based on the review of IRS Forms 990, Return of an Organization Exempt from Income Tax (“IRS Form 990"), for Success for the years 1999 and 2000, that Almoudi was a director of Success through at least July 20, 2001, the date the 2000 IRS Form 990 was filed. Mohamed S. Omeish, in turn, is Success’s President and the Vice President of AMF. Both of these entities are located at 3606B Forest Drive, Alexandria, VA. The common physical location and interlocking directorates creates common control of these organizations.
12. An entity known as Happy Hearts Trust is also under the same control. According to its bank statements for an account maintained at Habibsons Bank in London, England, Happy Hearts Trust also uses the address 3606 Forest Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22302 as its mailing address. I have seen correspondence directed to Habibsons Bank which states that Omeish is also a trustee of the Happy Hearts Trust.

B. Humanitarian Appeal International (HAI)
18. Happy Hearts Trust bank account number 21069477 at Habibsons Bank, Ltd., London, England, had a balance of $232,138 as of February 28, 2002. The account statement shows that on February 6, 2002, Happy Hearts Trust transferred $6,500 to an account in the name of HAI in Amman, Jordan. Exhibit 18.7
19. I have also reviewed a copy of a document which was maintained on the hard drive of a computer which was located at 3606B, Forest Drive, Alexandria, VA, the offices of Success and AMF, and seized pursuant to search warrants in March 2002. This document, entitled “Response to IRS Letter 1312" identifies certain “campaigns undertaken by Success Foundation,” which is an entity exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This document states that, in May 1999, Success sent $6950 to HAI. Exhibit 19.
20. According to the Memorandum of Dale Watson, Assistant Director of the FBI Counterterrorism Division, dated November 5, 2001, HAI has a close relationship to HAMAS and the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLFRD). HAI has received large amounts of funding from HLFRD, HAMAS’s North American fund-raiser, which was designated a SDGT pursuant to Executive Order 13224. The Watson Memorandum recites the following transfers of funds from HLFRD to HAI:
Year Amount
1997 $31,475
1998 $105,236
1999 $281,608
January-September 2000 $233,377
Watson Memorandum at p.45.
21. I have reviewed evidence which indicates Alamoudi was aware of the activities of HLFRD on behalf of HAMAS. In the same recorded statement referenced at paragraph 9 of the Declaration in Support of Detention, dated September 30, 2003, Alamoudi also stated:
Q: After we spoke about the situation of Arabs and Muslims in America, what do you expect from the Islamic community and movement? As we know these movements are operating to liberate their countries, the Arabic land, the holy land. What is the role of the Islamic organizations which you mentioned. Did they give some support to this right? Is there any support for Palestinian rights?
A: Yes, there is support. (interrupted….)
Q: I am asking about the struggle for survival not for borders. Is there any material support for the Islamic organizations in this area?
A: Yes. There is an organization called Holy Land Foundation.
This organization for this holy land collects money from the Islamic and Arab communities in America so as to serve our nation in the occupied land. Even in the occupied land the HLF attempted to open a branch, but the Israeli enemy stopped that. There is some wicked institute inside America that tries to affect these activities, but thank God, and I said that with full trust, this charity organization, all its papers are legal and it is doing a great job, thank God. There are also other organizations in America to support Muslims in Bosnia and Kashmir.
22. The Watson Memorandum stated that, unlike other HAMAS fronts, HAI is not controlled by HAMAS, but is a well-funded Gulf organization. It continues:
It currently appears that HAI-Jordan could be serving as a conduit through which HLFRD sends funds to its HLFRD representative in Amman. The HLFRD is not licensed to operate in Jordan and thus cannot legally have an office or bank account in Amman, Jordan. It is likely that this close relationship with HAI allows the HLFRD to circumvent this restriction on its activities.
Watson Memorandum at p.46.
23. I have reviewed a Report of Investigation (“ROI”) maintained within the internal files of ICE which states that Swiss Police authorities provided the following information regarding HAI. HAI is a registered corporation located in Onex, Switzerland. It was incorporated March 8, 1996. According to the ROI, the President of HAI was Lazhar Mokdad.
24. I have spoken to ICE SA David Kane who obtained a copy of Interpol arrest warrant for Lazhar Mokdad based upon violations of Tunisian laws. He has told me that the arrest warrant (in French) includes these charges: attempt to blow up a vehicle, molotov cocktail attacks, murder, and attempt to blow up an airplane. The Interpol arrest warrant also states that Mokdad is wanted for being a member of an "extremist terrorist organization".
Abdurahman also donated to the Clintons, so arasina, there is a Clinton connection there, too:

1995 : (ALAMOUDI IS APPOINTED A "GOOD WILL AMBASSADOR") The close relationship between the Clintons and al-Amoudi was traced back to 1995, when al-Amoudi was appointed a "Good Will Ambassador" to the Middle East. Once overseas, al-Amoudi was quoted as being thankful he could now speak freely, and he engaged in violent anti-American and anti-Israel rhetoric. Despite this, the Clinton administration gave him high marks. - "Clinton Era "Good Will Ambassador" Arrested," multi-sourced, 9/29/03 , vanity VIA FREEREPUBLIC
AUGUST 2003 : (USA : VA : REPUBLICAN STATE SENATE CANDIDATE NAWASH RETURNS TWO $5,000 CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FROM ALAMOUDI & HIS WIFE) Just a month before Alamoudi's arrest Nawash, a Republican candidate for the Virginia state Senate, returned two $5,000 campaign donations from Alamoudi and his wife, saying it would not be in his best interests to accept the contributions at that time. Asked about this, Nawash campaign manager William Lockhart said Oct. 10 that the candidate is "not representing Alamoudi now."
AUGUST 19, 1999 : (LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS : ALAMOUDI) ALLTEL and Riyad Bank, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have reached an agreement for ALLTEL to provide application software support services to Riyad Bank. The seven-year contract is valued in excess of $49 million. ALLTEL Information Services will provide core banking software support and development services under the agreement. ALLTEL will also train Riyad Bank staff members to support world-class banking systems totally within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"We are very pleased to be entering into this long-term agreement with ALLTEL Information Services," said Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi, senior executive vice president of Riyad Bank.

We believe that with that expertise ALLTEL Information Services can add value to our business. "By bringing global banking expertise to Riyad Bank, our staff will become better able to support our goal of providing world-class products and services to our customers," he said. - "Riyad Bank Selects ALLTEL Information Services for Major Software Support Services Initiative," Release date: August 19, 1999, see http://www.alltel.com/news/news_releases/99/aug/n411aug1999.html
JUNE 2000 : (USA : BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS : ALAMOUDI DONATES $50,000 TO HILLARY CLINTON AT FUNDRAISER) Abdurahman Alamoudi, a prominent member of the American Muslim Council, ... presented a $50,000 check to Mrs. Clinton at a June 2000 fundraiser in Boston.Alamoudi also personally donated $1,000 to Mrs. Clinton. Her campaign camouflaged the donations in Federal Election Commission filings as coming from "the American Museum Council," but later said the mistake was a typo. - "Hillary Donor, Terrorist Sympathizer, Arrested," Monday Sept. 29, 2003; 12:07 p.m. EDT

His donation was part of the total of 24 donations worth $13,850 on Sept. 11, 2001—her second-biggest fundraising day of the year, according to FEC records. - source : FEC reports via freeper Browardchad
2002 : (BONIOR & DONATIONS FROM AL AMOUDI & SAMI AL ARIAN???) Recently, Congressman Bonior of Michigan fell under attack from others in his own party for his close association to Islamic "terrorists." The attempt to discredit the Michigan Democrat is related to his recent announcement to run for governor of our state. Democrats, fearing that the Republicans will use "association with terrorists" during the coming gubernatorial elections to frighten voters to their cause, believe that even the tamest Muslims are still a source of danger and can't be touched. Members of the Democratic Party were upset that Mr. Bonior refused to return the donations made by Dr. Sami Al-Arian (a University of South Florida professor) and Abdul-Rahman Al-Amoudi (former Executive Director of the AMC). - "WHY BONIOR DOESN'T HAVE TO GIVE BACK MUSLIM MONEY," Found in Google.Com cache at http://www.kufrproof.com/myth.html

See esp. Uncle Bill's Post 9:
"Meanwhile, Alamoudi, who heads the American Muslim Council that was invited to the White House by Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Muslim Eid holidays, has been raising funds for "charitable" organizations whose branches in Gaza and the West Bank were closed down in late September by none other than Arafat. . .Also, Timmerman reported that Gabriel had sat together with James Zogby and Abdulrahman Alamoudi on the steering committee of the Arab Americans for Clinton/Gore “96. The “Moneyman” article described a “former DNC employee” who alleged that Gabriel served as a conduit for campaign contributions to the DNC from Arab businessmen in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Syria. The source claimed the funds were solicited by Gabriel and Zogby, and then paid out to Arab Americans, who then legally contributed to the Gore/Clinton campaign in amounts of $1000, $5000, and even $10000. Abdulrahman Alamoudi was executive director of the American Muslim Council (AMC) in April 1996. Abdulrahman met with Clinton’s National Security Advisor, Anthony Lake, in the White House on December 8, 1995 to receive a briefing on the Dayton Peace Agreement and to represent the interests of the Muslim Community. This access to the White House may have been connected to the donations arranged by Ed Gabriel for Gore and the DNC."
