* Hassan Turabi aka Hassan al Turabi aka Hassan al Tourabi :
Under Turabi's leadership, Sudan offered residency to any Arab or Muslim. This policy allowed bin Laden to take up residence in Khartoum, along with Imad Mughniyah, the man believed to be responsible for the 1983 suicide bombing in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. Marines, and Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, the Venezuelan drug lord known as "Carlos the Jackal," who converted to Islam and pledged allegiance to bin Laden.---------http://www.sudantribune.com/article.php3?id_article=9398

* National Islamic Front.: al Qaeda-affiliateed group led by Sudanese strongman Hassan al-Turabi
1991 : (BIN LADEN GOES TO SUDAN -- See NIF, DR HASSAN AL TURABI aka TOURABI, IRAN, TABA INVESTMENTS) In 1991, bin Laden... went into exile in Sudan. The country then was under the patronage of fundamentalist leader Dr Hassan al Turabi, whose powerful National Islamic Front party was supported by Iran. It was at this time that bin Laden started building his underground empire and arranging finance for its operations.
Bin Laden started off with about US$300-$400 million which he had inherited from his father, who owned one of Saudi Arabia's biggest construction groups. Bin Laden set up a building business in Kenya and a concrete factory in Yemen, and he invested in construction projects in a number of European cities, including Rome. In Sudan's capital Khartoum, bin Laden established links with the Al Shamal Islamic Bank, import/export business Wadi al Aqiq, investment company Taba Investment Company and a number of other businesses concerning exports. ----- "Central Asia/Russia : Al-Qaeda primed for wider struggle ," By Syed Saleem Shahzad , Asia Times, December 8, 2001

1990 - mid March 2003 : (IRAQ AL QAEDA/AL QAEDA IRAQ CONTACTS BEGIN; BIN LADEN SENDS EMISSARIES TO JORDAN TO MEET WITH IRAQI GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS) According to the memo--which lays out the intelligence in 50 numbered points--Iraq-al Qaeda contacts began in 1990 and continued through mid-March 2003, days before the Iraq War began....
The relationship began shortly before the first Gulf War. According to reporting in the memo, bin Laden sent "emissaries to Jordan in 1990 to meet with Iraqi government officials."
The primary go-between throughout these early stages was Sudanese strongman Hassan al-Turabi, a leader of the al Qaeda-affiliated National Islamic Front. Numerous sources have confirmed this. One defector reported that "al-Turabi was instrumental in arranging the Iraqi-al Qaeda relationship. The defector said Iraq sought al Qaeda influence through its connections with Afghanistan, to facilitate the transshipment of proscribed weapons and equipment to Iraq. In return, Iraq provided al Qaeda with training and instructors."
One such confirmation came in a postwar interview with one of Saddam Hussein's henchmen. As the memo details:
4. According to a May 2003 debriefing of a senior Iraqi intelligence officer, Iraqi intelligence established a highly secretive relationship with Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and later with al Qaeda. The first meeting in 1992 between the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) and al Qaeda was brokered by [* leader of Sudan's al Qaeda affiliated National Islamic Front, Hassan] al-Turabi. Former IIS deputy director Faruq Hijazi and senior al Qaeda leader [Ayman al] Zawahiri were at the meeting--the first of several between 1992 and 1995 in Sudan. Additional meetings between Iraqi intelligence and al Qaeda were held in Pakistan. Members of al Qaeda would sometimes visit Baghdad where they would meet the Iraqi intelligence chief [Mani abd-al-Rashid al-Tikriti] in a safe house. The report claimed that [Iraqi leader] Saddam [Hussein] insisted the relationship with al Qaeda be kept secret. After 9-11, the source said Saddam made a personnel change in the IIS for fear the relationship would come under scrutiny from foreign probes. ------- "The U.S. government's secret memo detailing cooperation between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. ," by Stephen F.

The right question is: Who other than al-Ani did Atta meet with in Praha?
Or maybe Al Ani is a red herring, Atta met with someone else. Search "Hijazi". Remember the story of the Iraqi "ambassador" to Turkey???
NEW YORK, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The ringleader of the 19 hijackers from the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Mohamed Atta, met twice with Iraq intelligence operatives in Prague, in June 2000 and then again last April, Newsweek reports in the current issue. The second meeting was with Farouk Hijazi, Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, who was called back to Baghdad before Sept. 11. One intelligence source called the two meetings interesting, but still far from proof of Iraqi involvement in the plot, Newsweek reports.87 posted on 06/18/2004 9:58:11 AM PDT by Shermy
Unit 999?
Hopefully it was something from the trunk of the car, say, a HIGH-flying JACK.
From the pic of his jeep, he was transmogrified into greasy black soot.
wasn’t the infamous ‘Jackal’ terrorist involved with all of this?
We can entitle this event “A Blast in the Ass”. (Brendan Fraser, forgive me).
Boy - was someone pissed at this guy. Wonder who? Stand in line!!!

Mansoor Ijaz - often enough seen as a talking head in the early days of the GWOT was one of the intermediaries, after the Sudanese turned Carlos the Jackal over to the French, that the Sudanese gov used to communicate with the Clinton admin. I haven't heard much from him lately, maybe someone else has.
Carlos the Jackal's wife is a lawyer with some ties to the Moussaoui case and the Christmas Market plot case in France. Carlos has connections to Venezuela and so, probably Hugo Chavez.
AUGUST 1993 - 1997 + : (SUDAN : See HIZBALLAH, PIJ, ANO {See ABU NIDAL} & HAMAS) Since Sudan was placed on the list of state sponsors of terrorism in August 1993, the Sudanese Government has continued to harbor members of several of the most violent international terrorist and radical Islamic groups. These groups include Lebanese Hizballah, the PIJ, the ANO, and HAMAS. The Sudanese Government also supports regional Islamic and non-Islamic opposition and insurgent groups in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda, and Tunisia.
Sudan’s support to terrorist organizations has included paramilitary training, indoctrination, money, travel documentation, safe passage, and refuge in Sudan. Most of the organizations present in Sudan maintain offices or other types of representation. They use Sudan as a base to organize some of their operations and to support compatriots elsewhere. Sudan also serves as a transit point and meeting place for several Iranian-backed terrorist groups. - “Patterns of Global Terrorism 1997 : Overview of State-Sponsored Terrorism ,” http://www.usembassy-israel.org.il/publish/terrorism97/sponsored.html.
1995 fall : (CIA REPORTS THAT IRANIAN OPERATIVES IN SUDAN WERE CONSPIRING TO ATTACK US OFFICIALS) A few months later [after the attept to assassinate Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak], the CIA reported indications that Iranian operatives in Sudan were conspiring to attack U.S. officials, although nothing came of that threat. ——— “Decision to Strike Factory in Sudan Based Partly on Surmise,” By TIM WEINER and JAMES RISEN, N Y TIMES, September 21, 1998
DECEMBER 1998 : (VENEZUELA : HUGO CHAVEZ IS ELECTED) I gather he’s [Carlos the Jackal’s ] quite the little Muslim activist in jail now, where he recently married his looney French ultra-left lawyer.
Remember that one of the first official acts of Chavez (during a victory lap in France) was to attempt to visit Carlos in jail, even before meeting the French President. He has also written adoring letters to his terrorist idol.

I suspect it was his @ss.
"In November 1979, Iranian "students" raided the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took diplomats hostage. The Carter administration, fearful that the Americans would be executed, abandoned its "plots" against the Khomeinist revolution, and thus forestalled events that could have led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.Carlos does not say why it is good for mankind to destroy the United States. His method is religious and admits of neither doubts nor counterarguments. The West is evil, and the United States is the leader of the West. Thus the United States is evil. At one point he says the United States is an incarnation of Satan (Shaytan) and should, therefore, be hated without question, just as believers hate Satan without asking why. Carlos urges Islamist groups to conclude alliances with all radical elements, including Maoists and nationalists, in a joint campaign against the United States. He wants all radicals to rush to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Americans, while hordes of "volunteers for martyrdom" organize suicide attacks inside the United States. And he makes a number of forecasts: The United States will reshape Iraq, Syria will disintegrate, and Lebanon will fall apart while Hezbollah is destroyed. Kosovo will become independent, and Sudan will be carved up. Libya will surrender to the United States. Even France will be divided into smaller countries, according to what Carlos claims is a secret American plan worked out by Henry Morgenthau in the 1940s. Carlos believes that, in the medium-term at least, only two states--North Korea and Iran--will be able to resist the United States, thus representing "the last hopes of mankind." The war against the United States, then, is going to be a long one, and the Americans will win the first rounds. ------------ "THE AXIS OF TERROR : Carlos the Jackal pledges alliance to Osama bin Laden," by Amir Taheri, WEEKLY STANDARD, November 24, 2003 http://www.benadorassociates.com/article/700
Similarly, when Hezbollah suicide bombers attacked American targets in Beirut in 1983, a total of 300 Americans, including 241 Marines, were killed, forcing Washington [Reagan Admin] to abandon its ambition of reshaping Lebanon.
And in 1993 the murder of 18 U.S. Army Rangers in Mogadishu forced President Clinton to withdraw American peacekeepers from Somalia and abandon plans for the Horn of Africa, avoiding bigger conflicts that could have cost many more lives." --- Carlos the Jackal in his 2003 book Revolutionary Islam
