Iraqi Intel Memo Describes Osama Connection
FMSO has translated a new set of documents from those captured in the fall of Saddam Hussein, and one of them seems very provocative indeed. A memo from the Afghan section of the Directorate of Counterintelligence (M5) to the head of M5 dated September 15th, 2001 relays information from an Afghani source that Taliban consul discussed the relationship between Osama, Iraq, and the Taliban. Document CMPC-2003-001488 had previously been translated by Iraqi blogger Omar at Iraq the Model for Pajamas Media last March, but now has been translated by the government:
Office of the Presidency Intelligence Service M5/3/9/2
The Honorable Mr. General Director Manager M5 Subject: Information
Our Afghani source numbered 11002 had provided us with the information on the denotation paper number -1- ) The Afghani Consul Ahmad Dahstani (the information on the denotation paper number (2)) had mentioned in front of him with the followings:
1. Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban Group in Afghanistan were in touch with the Iraqis and that group of the Talibans and Osama Bin Laden had visited Iraq. 2. The United States of America has evidence that the Iraqi government and Osama Bin Laden's group expressed cooperation among themselves in bombing targets in American. 3. In case Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban were proven to have been involved in carrying out these terrorist operations, it could be possible that the United Stated will attack both Iraq and Afghanistan. 4. The Afghani consul heard about the connection between the Iraqis and the Osama Bin Laden group during his stay in Iran. 5. Upon what has been presented we suggest writing to the Intention Committee with the above information.
Please revise…Your recommendation …. With appreciation,
Four days after 9/11, the North Africa and East Asia bureau of the Counterintelligence Directorate appeared very concerned with this information being discussed, so much so that the information went right to the top of the directorate.

"Albania Freezes Bank Account Of Bin Laden Associate"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TIRANA (AP)--The Albanian government has frozen another bank account belonging to a businessman accused by U.S. authorities of receiving money from Osama bin Laden to set up a radical Islamic terrorist network in Albania.
The finance ministry said Sunday that it has also frozen bank accounts and seized property belonging to five Islamic charities operating in the country.
Finance Minister Ridvan Bode ordered the action July 5. Six bank accounts were frozen and property was seized in the capital, Tirana, and in the small northern towns of Kukes and Bulqiza.
The ministry didn't say how much money was held in the accounts.
The charities targeted were the Al Haramain Foundation, MediCare, Karavan, Foundation of Life and Science, and Taibah International. A ministry spokeswoman wasn't able to provide any further details.
The businessman, Abdul Latif Saleh, holds Jordanian and Albanian citizenship. He was placed on a United Nations sanctions list that requires all U.N. members to impose a travel ban on him and block his assets.
Saleh left Albania four years ago, Albanian prosecutors say. American authorities said his last known residence was in the United Arab Emirates.
The U.S. Treasury Department last September ordered American banks to freeze any accounts or other financial assets held by Saleh.
The department alleged that bin Laden provided Saleh with $600,000 to encourage the creation of "extremist groups" in Albania. "
