Khalid Mohammed has been identified as one of the FBIs 22 most wanted for his role in masterminding or implementing the 9/11 attacks for Bin Laden and AlQaeda. This was reported in the NY Times in mid June 2002 by James Risen. It has recently been learned that Mohammed was directly involved with and oversaw the participants in the 1994 meeting with Terry Nichols in the Philippines to plan the OKC bombing.
Khalid Mohammed was in charge of the men connected to AlQaeda, Bin Laden and Abu Sayeff, the men who met with Nichols in the Philippines to plot the OKC bombing in 1994:
Abdul Murad, Ramzi Yousef (Pakistani helper of Iraq convicted for the 1993 WTC attack and planner of the project Bojinka-airline attacks plot), Edwin Angeles (undercover Philippine police) and Wali Khan (helped set up Abu Sayeff for Bin Laden).
Khalid Mohammed was living with his nephew Ramzi Yousef in the Philippines at the time of the Nichols meeting in 1994. Mohammed, Youseff, Murad and Nichols all fled the Philippines within a few days of an explosives blast associated with Yousefs apartment in the Philippines.
Khalid Mohammed came to the US afterwards-this has been confirmed by the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation and police authorities within the past few weeks.
Mohammed's coming to the US adds more credence to the allegations that Mohammed was in OKC and met with and was paid by Samir Khalil, the employer of two the FBIs APB original ME suspects in the OKC bombing, Abraham Ahmad and Al Hussaini, the Iraqi Republican Guard member seen with McVeigh. Samir Khalil has also been tied to Holy Land Foundation, a Hamas terror organization in Dallas by LC Johnson, former CIA and State Department official on terrorism on Fox News within the past month.
Khalid Mohammed , the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, has allegedly been identified as being paid three times in OKC in 1995 by Samir Khalil. The secretary of the employer, Sharon Twilley, went to authorities with this information after being threatened in OKC by Middle Eastern men soon after the 9/11 attacks.
Since Khalid was involved with the planning meeting in the Philippines for the OKC bombing with Terry Nichols and allegedly was paid by Khalil, it is now a strong possibility that Khalid was the mastermind or the chief implementer of both the OKC bombing and 9/11 attacks. It will later be shown in this article that Khalid Mohammed was an implementer and possible mastermind of the 1993 WTC attacks who likely used some of the same people in the OKC bombing as he used in the 1993 WTC attacks.
The Director of the US House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, Yousef Bodansky recently told Fox News that Bodansky had written and sent on March 3, 1995 an official warning notice of an attack on the Murrah building in OKC to US intelligence and law enforcement. This notice was sent six weeks before the OKC bombing. The Murrah building was listed as a specific possible target (among other Federal buildings in Americas Heartland) of a Middle Eastern attack using lily whites, that is possible Americans with no criminal records, men like Nichols and McVeigh. This notice may have well been referring to intelligence connected to the Nichols meeting in the Philippines with the surrogates of Khalid Mohammed.
Unfortuantely, Bodansky for some reason chose not to publicly come forward with the details of the official prior warning notice information until either late last year or early this year. Former reporter Jayna Davis revealed in an interview with Jim Quinn and Davis Schippers (audio link posted on FreeRepublic.com) that she has known the specifics of the Bodansky memo for years. In the Quinn interview Schippers said he called Davis on 9/11 after the attacks and urged Davis to finally release the details of the Bodasnky memo. Stephen Jones had tried unsuccessfully to get the details of the memo released before and during the McVeigh trial when Jones spoke to Judge Matsch in his chambers about having Davis subpoenaed as a witness.
The Newark Star Ledger in an article by Robert Rudolf published excerpts of a US Marshals memo from Eduardo Gonzales putting US Marshals on alert at all US Federal buildings including the Murrah building for a possible ME attack in connection with a Fatwah issued over the 1993 WTC bombing trial. This is significant because, as this article will show, the planners and participants in the 1993 WTC attacks also helped in the OKC bombing and in the 9/11 attacks which were originally planned in OKC.
FBI agents, US Marshals, the BATF and Federeral Judge Wayne Ally were tipped of a possible ME attack on the Murrah building in late March 1995 according to McVeigh pretrial hearing court documents from 1996 and an interview with Judge Ally by his hometown newspaper the Oregonian in 1995.
My wife was threatened by the FBI over my wife being told by prominent FBI agents wives on April 19, 1995 that the FBI expected the attack and that the wives husbands and other FBI agents were kept out of the Murrah building the day of the bombing.
OK Deputy Sheriffs Dave Kochendorfer and Don Hammons held a news conference in OKC in December 1997 and testified before the OK County Grand Jury about OK Congressman Ernest Istook telling them that Istook and the FBI had received a prior warning of a ME attack on the Murrah building on April 9, 1995 and blew it. FBI agent James Carlisle threatened me over my wifes story and threatened Kochendorfer over his story. Carlisle falsified his FBI 302 interview report with Kochendoerfer to cover up the prior warning story for the FBI and DOJ.
Senator James Inhofes chief of staff, Herb Johnson was told by the head of the FBI command center in OKC the week of the bombing that the DOJ had ordered the FBI to conceal from the public ME involvement in the OKC bombing. I discussed this was Inhofe my self in January 1999. In April 1999 I briefed Joan Grimson, the legal counsel for the Senate Intelligence Committee about Herb Johnsons story and my conversation with Senator Inhofe.
Saudi intelligence contacted the former CIA operations chief for the ME, Vincent Cannistraro, within hours of the OKC bombing and told Cannistraro that Sadam Hussein had hired seven Pakistanis (Ramzi Yousef was likely one of them-he is from Baluchistan) to help (McVeigh and Nichols) do the OKC bombing. The Saudis likely knew of the OKC bombing plot before the OKC bombing from their Hamas and AlQaeda informants around the world who would have found out about Khalid Mohammed plans hatched in the Philippines with Terry Nichols.
Two Pakistanis still believed to have been involved in the OKC bombing were arrested on April 19, 1995, two in Dallas and one in OKC. They were Mohammed Chafti and Anas and Asad Sadiqqy from Brooklin New York and had been implicated in 1993 WTC attack. The men were let go by the FBI after intervention and lying by Attorney General Janet Reno. The FBI 302 reports on the arrests were found in FBI agent Danny Defenbaughs Dallas office in early 2001. Defenbaugh was inspector of the OKC bombing Task Force.
William Northrup, a joint US and Israeli intelligence agent, was dispatched by Israeli intelligence from Florida on April 16, 1995 and sent the FBI office in OKC to deliver a warning to the FBI of an impending ME attack on the Murrah building. Northrup made the allegation to the former Pentagon terror advisor Jesse Clear in 1996. Northrup has know Clear for decades. Israeli intelligence may have learned of the OKC bombing plot in Florida from Israeli monitoring of the World Islamic Institute (WISE) and AlQaeda and Hamas terror cells connected to the University of Southern Florida and AlArian, the terror professor at the university.
Jose Padilla, the dirty (radiation) bomber suspect may have also been connected with this group WISE in Florida since Padilla and MCVeigh lived close to each in Florida in 1993-1994. Padilla looks like one of the Mexican John Does seen crossing the street with McVeigh just after he exited the Ryder truck a few minutes before the blast.
There was a raid at an OKC mosque on March 13, 1995 by a Federal undercover task force in connection with a search for professor terrorist suspected of being connected with the WISE group in Florida.
A black man from St Louis, Melvin Lattimore, who was also a Muslim extremist (Menepta) was identified as being with two other John Does and McVeighs car in OKC near the Murrah building on April 18, 1995. The black man had his credit card used in the 1993 WTC attacks and was likely connected to the Pakistanis arrested in OKC who also were implicated in the 1993 WTC attacks. The black man also was named by an informant as a top FBI suspect in the OKC bombing on April 20, 1995. And the black man was 9/11 pilot suspect Moussaouis roommate in Norman OK.
The 1993 WTC attacks and subsequent attempts on the WTC including 6h3 9/11 attack were planned in OKC at a Hamas sponsored conference videotaped by CNN reporter Steve Emerson and put in this video, Jihad in America.
So what we have is the mastermind and implementer of the 9/11 attacks and probably the OKC bombing also connected directly to the 1993 WTC attacks through Ramzi Yousef his nephew and his ties to AlQaeda. When Mohammed comes to OKC and is allegedly being paid by the Hamas operative Khalil , he also appears to have been assisted by at least four men who like Khalid Mohammed also assisted with the 1993 WTC bombing that was planned in OKC. These four men again are Melvin Lattimore, (Menepta) and three Pakistanis that the Saudis told the CIA were likely paid by Sadam Hussein to assist in the OKC bombing.
Samir Khalil is also alleged to have met with Nichols and McVeigh in Las Vegas in 1994 along with an Iraqi recruiter. As well as employing the two FBI suspects, the Iraqi Al Hussain and Abraham Ahmad. It is very likely that Khalid Mohammed was acquainted with Ahmad and Al Hussaini in addition to Khalil in OKC.
It is very possible that Khalid Mohammed helped plan the OKC bombing in the Philippines and then came to OKC to help implement his plan with the further assistance of Khalil, Al Hussaini, Ahmad, Lattimore and the Pakistanis many some of the same men who helped Mohammed and Yousef pull of the 1993 WTC attack. Khalid Mohammed may have even known and worked with Jose Padilla, the dirty bomber.
And since Khalid Mohammed has been named by the FBI and DOJ as the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Mohammed likely helped get support for the five hijacker plot pilots associated with the Norman, OK flight school (airman) near OKC. Some of these pilots started training at the Airman flight school directly for Bin Laden in 1994 such as Ihab Nawawi and Ihab Moahmmed Ali. Moussaoui (Lattimores roommate) trained the Airman fligh school and hijackers Atta and AlShehhi visited the flight school. The FBI told the Airman flight school in 1999 that the FBI knew some of these men (the men who came to the school the same time Khalid Mohammed is believed to have come to OKC) were training for terror missions with airplanes
Important Footnote:
Also in the meeting with Nichols was John Lebney, an American who worked directly with the mainland Chinese to smuggle electronics in and out of the Philippines. Lebney lived in Davao City from 1990 to 1996 and was known to the Philippine authorities and likely the CIA who still keeps close ties with Philippine authorities.
Lebney's known and strong Chinese ties have huge possible ramifications because the Chinese have been funding, training and providing weapons to AlQaeda, the Taliban and Sadam Hussein for many years. The Chinese very likely would have known about and could have had a role through Lebney in the Nichols meeting with Khalid Mohammed lieutenants in the Philippines to plot the destruction of the Murrah building in OKC.
Clinton's ties to the Chinese military and Clintons blocking of information about the Nichols meeting via Anthony Lake and his two CIA directors and FBI director, could lead one to speculate that Clinton and the CIA and FBI may have had a role or known about the OKC bombing before it happened.
The information in this article has been transmitted by phone discussions and in writing to Senator Shelbys on the Senate Intelligence Committee via his staff member William Dunke. The information in this article also has been transmitted by phone discussions and in writing to Jo Thomas of the NY Times.
Terrorism trial begins in New York
May 13, 1996
From Correspondent Brian Jenkins
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Jury selection began in New York Monday in the federal trial of three men accused of plotting to bomb 11 planes headed for the United States on a single day in 1995.
Ramzi Yousef is charged with masterminding the plot. He also will be tried later this year, accused of planning the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Four men are already serving life in prison for that crime.
The alleged plot was discovered in the Philippines in January 1995, when a fire broke out in a Manila apartment 200 yards from the Vatican's embassy, a week before the arrival of Pope John Paul II.
Police were shocked by what they found inside: a smoking mixture of explosives in a sink, street maps and garments like those worn by the Pope's entourage, suggesting a plot to kill the Pontiff.
They also say they found computer disks containing detailed plans to blow up U.S. airliners.
The alleged plot involved leaving bombs on flights that would take off from Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore.
Vince Cannistraro, former director of the CIA's Counter terrorism Division calls it, "Extraordinarily ambitious, very complicated to bring off, and probably unparalleled by other terrorist operations that we know of."
Kenneth Timmerman, director of the Middle East Data Project, believes the sophistication of the plot is a sign the intelligence agency of another country is behind it. Some see the hand of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein; others the government of Iran.
Fingerprints on a bomb recipe notebook found in the burned apartment convinced the FBI that the brains behind "Project Bojinka" was Yousef, a young engineer born in either Iran or Pakistan, also accused in the World Trade Center bombing. Authorities think Yousef flew out of New York just hours after that explosion, later launched a failed plot in Thailand to bomb an Israeli consulate, and wound up in the Philippines.
The FBI believes he staged a test for Project Bojinka in December 1994, leaving a bomb under a seat on a Philippine Airlines flight, killing a Japanese tourist.
According to Cannistraro, "His particular, peculiar evil genius was to devise a method of putting together a liquid explosive that could not be detected by the security apparatuses in effect at most airports at that time."
"This is somebody who is really a world class operator. . And I don't think we have seen someone like this, as accomplished as this, ever," said Timmerman.
It really helps add to the thesis of the article for this thread.
Lorie Mylroie, an expert and author on Iraq and Sadam Hussain, has analyzed evidence in the OKC bombing and the 1993 WTC attacks and she concluded they were directly linked.
After masterminding the World Trade Center bombing, Youssef would temporarily hide out in the Phillipines and join with several other terrorists to plot an intricate series of terrorist attacks on the United States, code named Project Bojinka.
In order to carry out his terror campaign, the complaint alleges Yousef recruited potential terrorists at Southwest College in Cebu City, including Terry Nichols. Witnesses say Nichols went to the Phillipines for the expressed purpose of learning how to build a bomb.
Nichols passport records show he was indeed in the Phillippines at the same time as Youssef. In fact, Phillipine intelligence believed Nichols was a Pakistani, Arab or U.S. national. Further, Nichols would eventually marry a Filipino woman who lived for a time at the same boarding house as Youssef.
Much thanks.
When he (Nichols)returned from the Philippines in January 1995, he settled in Herington, Kan., a quiet town not far from Fort Riley. He bought a bungalow and devoted himself to furnishing it.
There is not one single listing for a Lebney in the U.S. according to www.switchboard.com.
Below is a bit of trivia. At least the spooks have a sense of humor.
Lebbene is a cheese shaped into small balls and often known in the Middle East. It is called Lebney in Syria.
Lets keep on a "roll" until this thing is resolved once and for all!!!
OSAMA BIG EYED AS 9/11 MASTERMIND
Within three months of Sept. 11, he said, the FBI learned that Mohammed had moved money that was used to pay for the attacks and since then the United States has gathered other significant evidence pointing to him as the key planner.
Mohammed is accused of working with Ramzi Yousef in the first bombing of the World Trade Center, which left six dead in 1993.
Khalid Mohammed: On the FBI Most Wanted List
Nichols had a ME helper (likely Hussaini) riding with him in his pickup along with a Ryder truck on April 18, 1995 in Newkirk, OKlahoma (near Kansas and OK central border). I posted an article on this on FR on April 19, 2002. The ME man looked like one of the John DOe #2 sketches the FBI showed to the witness in Newkirk who is the wife of a police officer.
Khalid Mohammed probably helped make sure that Nichols got all the help Nichols and McVeigh needed when they came back to the US from the Philippines including the ME helper with Nichols in Newkirk, OK. THe FBI and DOJ covered up the witness account of the ME man with Nichols in Newkirk and kept it from the attorneys and courts and trials and the news media.
The Newkirk story is another example of a coverup of Federal forewarning and foreknowledge of a ME assisted attack on the Murrah building.
Or should I call it a "lily white "(Nichols and McVeigh) assisted attack by ME men on the Murrah building?
Ramzi Yousef
Well, Pat, the "ping list" is growing, but I'm curious to know more about what OKC bombing victims and survivors think about all this.
I don't think there will be any resolution until more of them "get on board."
So, if you're out there, post. No one has to know who you are.
And if you aren't going to post, at least spread the word.
In January 1995, Yousef and his associates plotted to blow up eleven U.S. commercial aircraft in one spectacular day of terrorist rage. The bombs were to be made of a liquid explosive designed to pass through airport metal detectors. But while mixing his chemical brew in a Manila apartment, Yousef started a fire.
He was forced to flee, leaving behind a computer that contained the information that led to his arrest a month later in Pakistan. Among the items found in his possession was a letter threatening Filipino interests if a comrade held in custody were not released. It claimed the "ability to make and use chemicals and poisonous gas... for use against vital institutions and residential populations and the sources of drinking water."
Yousef lived for a time in a Pakistani boarding house run by Saudi exile Osama bin Laden. Although in an interview in 1997 bin Laden said he did not know Yousef personally. Yousef fled the country the night of the attack and made it onto the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, with a $2 million reward for information leading to his arrest. Law enforcement authorities apprehended him after receiving a tip from an informant.
. Arrest and conviction
Pakistani police arrested Yousef a month later, on February 7, 1995, in an Islamabad hotel room. Authorities also arrested Shah in Malaysia
