Here's another interesting oldie from Free Republic: USS Cole Bombing: Yemen Government and Aden Port Operators Collaborate with Islamic Terrorists?

Relevant excerpt:

...

The money transfers were discovered in August after the Saudi royal family ordered an audit of the National Commercial Bank and its founder and former chairman, Khalid bin Mahfouz, the U.S. officials said.

Mahfouz is now under house arrest in the Saudi city of Taif. His successor, Mohammad Hussein Al-Amoudi, also heads the Capitol Trust Bank in New York and London, which is being investigated by U.S. and British officials for allegedly transferring money to bin Laden, USA Today said.

The newspaper said Amoudi's Washington attorney, Vernon Jordan, who also is a confidant of President Clinton, could not be reached for comment.

As previously discussed, the Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi familie jointly operate one of Saudi Arabia’s largest companies, the Mahfouz & Al-Amoudi Group. To put Mohammed Al-Amoudi in place of Khalid Mahfouz to run the National Commercial Bank gives the appearance of impropriety, like asking a different fox to guard the same hen house. This hen house has been sending millions to Bin Laden and both foxes who guarded it work for the same group or company run by their same families. I suspect that Mohammed Al-Amoudi could be just as loyal to Bin Laden as Khalid Mahfouz and that the house arrest of Mahfouz was only for show and that money could still be going to Bin Laden through the same bank!

...

Another troublesome fact is that Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi, founder of the American Muslim Council, has been linked by terrorism expert Steve Emerson and journalist Kenneth Timmerman to arranging large and questionable campaign fund transfers possibly involving known Arab terrorist groups to the DNC and to the Clinton/Gore reelection campaign in 1996. Also, just last week, Hillary Clinton returned a campaign contribution made by Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi to her Senate campaign in New York after having been discovered by New York Republicans.

...

Is Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi related to the Al-Amoudi family group and Mohammed Al-Amoudi that are tied to the port of Yemen and to banker Khalid Mahfouz, to those who have transferred money to Bin Laden through Saudi banks and who could have been complicit in the Cole bombing?

Will anyone in Congress investigate the ties between President Saleh, the Mahfouz &Al-Amoudi Group, Vernon Jordan, Bin Laden terrorists, Gore and Clinton, and the bombing of the USS Cole?

Thanks, this guy seems to be in the thick of things. Glad we nabbed him! Unocal, Cheveron, & Texaco need to quit doing business with terrorists from Saudi Arabia.
