>>>Funding approved by OBL in 1999? 2000?
I think it was before 1999. OKC bombing was 1995. That was planned with Abu Sayyaf. The plans for Oplan Bojinka were found in the Phillipines where Abu Sayyaf was HQ. Test runs for Bojinka were being run back in 1994. So they must have had an idea for budgets and contacts then.

“OKC bombing was 1995.”
Agreed. The op Bojinka was named in 1995 by the US. “Bojinka” means big bang.
Do you remember when the Gorelick Wall went up?
Or what $$ Khalid Mahfouz funnelled to Clintoon/Gore?
