List of Information About Known /Suspected Terrorists

Various ^ | 09/28/01 | Lion's Cub

[Lion's Cub]

Since information about terrorist arrests is coming fast and furious, a couple of freepers have expressed interest in compiling a database to keep track of information about who these people are and what is known about them.

I am not a researcher and I have no idea how to set up such a database. I have been keeping my own file, however, for the last few days and am happy to share it. The list is mostly of names that have come up in the current investigation, but there are also some that I came across, who are not directly related to this investigation. I have placed the url of the article I took the info from beneath each "fact" or "set of facts" I found because I have no way of knowing whether the information is accurate. People can judge the accuracy of the information themselves.

LIST OF KNOWN/SUSPECTED TERRORISTS
** denotes that the terrorist died in the operation

Khalid al Draibi
Saudi man arrested the day of the attacks in suburban Washington, a few miles from Dulles International Airport, where one of the planes was hijacked. That plane later crashed into the Pentagon.
Attorney Drewry B. Hutcheson Jr. said his client, Khalid al Draibi, was stopped while driving with a flat tire near Manassas, Va.
Arrested for allegedly making a false statement that he was a U.S. citizen. Later told the FBI investigators he was a Saudi Arabian citizen," Hutcheson said. Client remained in detention.
Police near Birmingham said FBI questioned them recently about cabdriver with a similarly spelled name, Khalid Aldiribi, who they believed was being detained in Washington.
Hutcheson said he was unaware of the list but believed his client "did work and live for a period of time in Birmingham."
Said he knew of no connection between his client and Dulles airport or the hijackers there

Prince Turki Al Faisal
Former Saudi General Intelligence Chief fired by King Fahd for suspected ties to alleged Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden, the weekend before the Sept. 11 attacks on WTC & Pentagon."Gulf sources said Turki was dismissed for what appeared to be a variety of reasons. They said the royal court was unhappy with the investigation of the bombing campaign against Westerners late last year and earlier this year," Geostrategy-Direct.com said. Also, said Turki was close to Taliban militia government of Afghanistan which is suspected of hosting and protecting bin Laden, which rankled US. "For years, Turki pledged to lure bin Laden out of his Afghan hideout and into a trap set by the United States," Geostrategy-Direct.com reported. "When that promise failed to materialize, a crisis developed between Riyadh and Washington." Turki was Saudi Arabia's leading liaison to the Central Intelligence Agency in the U.S., European analysts told the digest.

Nageeb Abdul Jabar Mohamed Al-Hadi
On a Lufthansa flight from Germany to O'Hare International Airport when it was diverted to Toronto because of the hijackings. Being held by Canada. Tried to fly into Chicago with an illegal passport and airline uniforms on the day of the hijacking attacks (9/11/01).
Contract employee for the German airline. Travelling with ticket under a different name and carried three passports from Yemen, two of which had names different from his. Charged September 14 with possessing and attempting to use a false passport. US authorities plan to file extradition papers.
http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/2001/09/23/FFXW39YAWRC.html
Each of the Yemeni passports he carried had a different number, different name and different date of issue, it said. Al-Hadi presented one of them, issued in Yemen on Sept. 2, to Canadian authorities. A receipt showed that he had acquired a visa from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen on that day.
Using a search warrant, the FBI also recovered a student identification card from the Yemeni Language Institute in Yemen, and a pair of pants that had a small piece of material sewn into the side of a pocket that had a sequence of English and Arabic numbers.

Dr Ayman Mohamed Rabie al- Zawahiri AKA Sami Mahmoud El-Hifnawi AKA Amin Othman
some say is Bin Laden's deputy and right-hand man. Prime Suspect No 2 for WTC & Pentagon attacks 9/11/01. On the FBI's most wanted list for the bombing of US embassies in east Africa in 1998. Leader of Egyptian Islamic Jihad.The most distinguished guest at the wedding of Bin Laden's son in the southern Afghan town of Kandahar January 2001, making the first speech at the ceremony. Ran from the Egyptian government in early 1990s, found refuge in various European countries. Believed to be central in brokering a coalition between EIJ, other Islamist groups, and Bin Laden's al-Qaida, a coalition that appears increasingly likely to have been behind the recent attacks in America.
Born, according to Egyptian records, on June 9 1951. Paediatrician. Gave up medical work to launch campaign of violence against Egyptian government. Implicated in wide range of attacks, from assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 to east African bombings in 1998.
Some analysts believe in current role in Afghanistan, has taken control of much of Bin Laden's terrorist finances, operations, plans and resources, following assurance reportedly given by Bin Laden to the Taliban he would no longer engage in terrorist activities.
Illness is another reason given why Bin Laden may have ceded control. Bone marrow disease and kidney failure have been ascribed to him.
Al-Zawahiri stands beside Bin Laden and Atef at centre of bewildering network of Islamist groups. Egyptian Islamic Jihad has been linked with so-called Vanguards of Conquest movement and to a lesser degree with the Islamic Group of Egypt, who were behind the 1993 World Trade Centre attack.
Per US state department's Patterns of Global Terrorism 2000 report, al-Zawahiri appeared in video alongside Bin Laden, threatening retaliation against US for imprisonment of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman in connection with the trade centre bombing(93). With leader of Islamic Group of Egypt, al-Zawahiri also signed Bin Laden's 1998 fatwa calling for general attacks against US civilians - he was second signatory after Bin Laden himself.
1997 Patterns of Global Terrorism report listed al-Zawahiri as leader of the Vanguards of Conquest group, said to be a faction of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The Vanguards thought to be behind 1997 massacre of 70 people in Luxor, and assassination attempt against Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in 1995.
On US government indictment sheet for the embassy bombings, al-Zawahiri is listed third after Osama bin Laden and Atef as a co-conspirator in attacks in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam. In court proceedings relating to east African indictment, al-Zawahiri named one of the figures whose satellite telephone conversations were used as proof that Bin Laden was behind the plot.
In October 1997, according to transcript of recently concluded trial of those convicted of embassy bombings, British-based Islamist activist, Ibrahim Eidarous, sent message from London to Afghanistan asking al-Zawahiri to call mobile phone in London. Eidarous's associate, Abdel Bary, who was extradited from Britain to US along with him, was alleged to have owned phone. Both accused of circulating claim for responsibility for embassy bombings, and of being members of EIJ.
Al-Zawahiri also named in European legislation concerned with financial and other sanctions against Taliban, and in documents produced by US sanctioning body, the office for foreign assets control of the US Treasury. (The American documents list his date of birth as June 10 1951, and place of birth as Giza.)
February 24 1999, Cairo military court called for adeath penalty in absentia on al-Zawahiri during trial of 20 EIJ members extradited from Albania, after foiled attack on US consulate in Tirana.
In Afghanistan, al-Zawahiri apparently sometimes acted as Bin Laden's spokesman. The News, a Pakistan-based English-language paper, reportedly ran interview with him in 1998, in which he described bungled assassination attack in which he said Saudi intelligence had paid a man to kill Bin Laden.
Others have accused al-Zawahiri of being involved in assassinations. In 1995, Denmark's Jyllands-Posten newspaper reported Egyptian intelligence services suspected failed assassination attempt on Mr Mubarak that year had been planned by exiled Egyptian fundamentalists based in Denmark, including the Vanguards of Conquest and al-Zawahiri.
Close relative of al-Zawahiri, who is active in Islamist circles, is reported to live in Britain.
Denmark and Switzerland are among number of European countries thought to have played his host. His associates may even have British cell. After Vanguard-linked Luxor attack, Mr Mubarak told reporters in Aswan there are people who carried out crimes and were sentenced (in Egypt) and live on British land and in other states such as Afghanistan'.
Al-Zawahiri's freewheeling role across western Europe during early 1990s raises questions about security and asylum policies of a number of European nations, and about their refusal to act on information provided by Egyptian government.
Egypt has been in contact with various western capitals regarding this issue,' said Nabil Osman, director of Egyptian state information service. President Mubarak has been asking for many years that terrorists not be given a refuge under any pretext of shelter or asylum.' Al-Zawahiri offered asylum in Denmark in 1991. Asked to comment, Teddy Koch of Denmark's ministry of the interior, said: Normally, we don't give out information about individual cases.'
Al-Zawahiri also thought to have lived in Switzerland. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was granted asylum there in 1993.
Sources in Cairo and elsewhere say jihad leaders planned to meet in Geneva in 1996. Asked whether Egypt tried to extradite al-Zawahiri around this time, Mr Osman said: I am sure there have been such communications.'
The Guardian has discovered an address in Copenhagen from which al-Zawahiri once edited Mujahideen newsletter. Subscription information for the newsletter on an academic website declared it was temporarily issued from Switzerland'. Al-Zawahiri likely to have sought sanctuary in Afghanistan in 1997 or 1998. Carries Swiss and French passports under the name Amin Othman, according to the Egyptian government, as well as his original Egyptian passport (number 1084010). Egyptians on the most-wanted list also claim he uses Dutch passport in the name of Sami Mahmoud El-Hifnawi. We have heard such rumours,' said Frank de Bruin of the Dutch foreign ministry, but we didn't get it confirmed from any authoritative source.'
US may also have allowed al-Zawahiri residence. House of Representatives judiciary subcommittee on immigration told by expert on terrorism in January 2000 that he was one of a number of Islamist activists who had been granted green card status by the US immigration service. If true, like the free hand given to al-Zawahiri in Europe, this would highlight what Mr Osman says the Egyptians have been telling the west for years - that terrorism is transnational and must be dealt with accordingly: Its structure is the whole globe.'
Israeli intell thinks he and Imad Mughniyeh planned WTC/Pentagon attacks on 9/11/01.For the past two years Iraqi intelligence officers were shuttling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting with Ayman Al Zawahiri," said Jane's Foreign Report

Mohamed Atta **
33 y.o. Egyptian who flew one of the jetliners into the WTC 9/11/01. Authorities believe he coordinated the attack.Worked out of Hamburg, Germany cell with Ramzi Mohamed Abdullah Binalshibh,Said Bahaji, Marwan Al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrahi, who was a regular vistitor to Atta's Hamburg apartment. Marwan Al-Shehhi was possibly an Atta cousin who shared rooms with him in Hamburg and Florida. Atta flew 1st hijacked plane, AA #11, from Boston to LA, into North WTC @ 8:48 a.m. Atta has emerged as a leader among fellow terrorists who went to the US. His travels abroad, in addition to his contacts with members of four terrorist cells in America, positioned him to carry instructions from handlers overseas to all members of their conspiracy in the US. Claimed to have lost passport in Germany.
http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/2001/09/23/FFXW39YAWRC.html
Flew w/Alomari sometime after 6AM from Portland, Maine ( Portland International Jetport) on US Airways and then made the American Flight 11 connection in Boston.Had to get ticket & check bag.
Curiously, the three other Arab hijackers aboard Flight 11 drove to Logan, while Atta and Alomari reportedly arrived in Boston the previous Sunday, drove back to Portland and then flew again to Boston.
The moves baffle authorities, not only because they almost caused at least Atta the suspected leader to miss his flight, but because they exposed Alomari and him to additional airport security checks

Andrew Sherman, GPO spokesman, said man using name similar to Mohamed Atta used a "bounced credit card" to try to purchase the magazine "Airmen" back in July using an address in Egypt.

[Lion's Cub]

Here are my notes.

[Hugh Akston]

Cool, thanks.

[aristeides]

Thank you.

[Howlin]

Excellent, LC. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Now, as we get started, can we index this? Can we use this as the MAIN thread and index others to something like we did "CONDIDIT"? That REALLY helped those of us looking for these articles!

[aristeides]

Good idea.

Lion's Cub, I will leave it up to you to think of a proper equivalent to "Condidit" for related threads.

[Teacup]

Cool! I'm in. Do you have the pictures of the FBI's most wanted? It was floating around here yesterday. I'll go search. Putting faces to some of these names will help.

[Howlin]

Me, too! I am the most unoriginal person you'll ever meet. I'll wait to be advised..........LOL.

[Howlin]

You and Irma are the BEST at finding articles. This will help us understand some of this and link them all together. Maybe we'll get LBGA over here to make a flow chart!

[Slyfox]

Raymond Loeb
Arrested by French weekend 9/21/01 w/Serge Salfati and Yves Ekwella for possession of what is believed to be uranium-235, a material used in the construction of atomic weapons. The uranium is reported to have been supplied by members of the Russian mafia. Had air tickets to Kazakhstan at the time of their arrest.

Just thought this needed to be highlighted.

[Howlin]

This has been on my mind all week:

Is anybody besides me surprised at the amount of "information" they left behind? And just simple things, that could have easily been destroyed or discarded.

[Slyfox]

I wondered about that also. Some of it seems to be fingering others in the plot. All the better for us to nab them all.

[Slyfox]

Add this to your list:

Russian Mafia Help

[piasa]

Thank you.

[Lion's Cub]

Is anybody besides me surprised at the amount of "information" they left behind? And just simple things, that could have easily been destroyed or discarded.

One possible explanation is that, while the evidence may be genuine, it may not have been found exactly as portrayed.

[piasa]

Good point- protect the source.

[Lion's Cub]

I'm no good at thinking of catchy phrases like "Condidit". All I can come up with at the moment is "TerrOrWar". Maybe someone else can come up with something better.

BTW, I confess that I didn't follow the Condit mania, since it was obvious that it was fruitless after a few days. How did the "indexing" work? Was it just a keyword in the original posting of the article? Or was there a way to incorporate it in something someone else posted?

[aristeides]

OK, I've followed your suggestion. Note where I put "TerrOrWar", in the "Reply To" box. That makes it possible to find it when you do a search on 'to:"TerrOrWar"'.

[aristeides]

Oops, I was forgetting how the search function works. It's: to:TerrOrWar , without any quotation marks.
