lol ... you were typing the same thing as I was at the same time ... if this guy gave $60,000 to IANA (did I read that correctly?), then he was there to give them their final send off from allah ... his appointment a few months later is no big surprise, given all the data ...
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "His nephew, Sami Omar Hussayen, a computer student, is in federal detention in Idaho on charges of visa fraud, accused of failing to disclose his role as an internet webmaster for IANA.
US court filings say the younger Hussayen administered an internet site for IANA that expressly advocated suicide attacks and using airliners as weapons. IANA received about £2 million from abroad since 1995, court papers allege, including £60,000 from Saleh al-Hussayen.
Saudi envoys confirmed Mr Hussayen's high rank to reporters this week and told The Wall Street Journal that they were willing to make him available to the Justice Department. That offer was welcomed yesterday by Kim Lindquist, a US assistant attorney working on the federal prosecution of the younger Hussayen in Boise, Idaho.
Mr Lindquist said: "We're investigating the IANA. We have the money flowing to the IANA through the nephew from the uncle. We have the uncle visiting the United States just prior to September 11, and upon his return to the East Coast he's in the same hotel as the hijackers. According to FBI agents he feigns a seizure. It is something that we cannot ignore.""
