Well if I remember right, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed was recruited at a young age by MAK and taken to a (Saudi-funded) Pakistani madrassa for indoctrination. If MAK was recruiting in Comoros, I doubt that Mohammed was the only fruit of their efforts.

I'm also beginning to wonder if a viable strategy for winning the war on terrorism wouldn't simply to be to freeze all Saudi assets and shut down these jihadi factories. Somehow I get the feeling that al-Qaeda would be a lot less cocky without billions in Saudi cash to back them up.

It's a hole big enough in our anti terror strategy to fly a 747 Jumbo through. Unless you get serious, which means treating the Saudis as an explicit enemy, the antiterror war may go on for decades.

Cutting of money worked for the Mafia and the NarcoTraffickers.

Isolate, quarantine the Saudi money.

Question is of the will by the Bush Administration and the politics of the USA combined with Saudi investments and largesse.
