Clinton Emissary Said to be Bin Laden Bag Man
A man accused of funneling cash from Osama bin Laden to a radical Muslim cleric who helped plan the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center was on the payroll of the Clinton administration throughout the 1990s.
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was arrested Sunday after being accused of trying to smuggle $340,000 in cash from Libya to terrorist groups in Syria, worked at the Clinton State Department as a global emissary for religious tolerance.
When confronted with news of the curious arrangement just a week before Mrs. Clinton was elected to the Senate, a State Department spokesman told the New York Daily News that Alamoudi "has been traveling primarily to Muslim countries to address the topic of Islamic life in the U.S., including the rights of Muslims in America as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the status of the American Islamic community."
Today, however, the New York Post reports that the former Clinton diplomat "was suspected of funneling cash from Osama bin Laden to Blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman in the failed attempt to blow up New York City landmarks."
The blind sheik's speechwritier, who has turned government informant, told investigators that bin Laden "routinely funneled $5,000 payments to Rahman through Alamoudi and his organization, the American Muslim Council," the paper said.
The suspected bin Laden bag man was hired by the Clinton State Department a year after President Clinton turned down an offer from the government of Sudan for the al-Qaeda chief's arrest and extradition to America.
[snip] Full story
You know, that information about Clinton's emissary being an OBL money man was in one of the books I read about terrorism some time back.
I type notes in Word about various books and will look to see if I can find more information. I hope it wasn't a book I read before we had a computer crash.
LOL! Don't you just love that "tolerance" stuff?
Then I say we put the squeeze on that white trash, leftist attorney of his, Lynne Stewart

Somehow this was another story that I had not read before.
Marking.
