...Al-Zawahiri, who visited California in 1998, went on to become bin Laden's right-hand man...

Why the heck was this guy allowed to enter the United States? Add this to the Clinton Legacy - our security agencies were asleep at the switch while the bent one received favors from interns and campaign donors. Pathetic.

From the reports I've seen, al Zawahiri came in with a fake passport: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/shows/zawahiri/profile.html

While tending to the wounded in Afghanistan, al-Zawahiri also worked to re-establish al Jihad. He eventually began traveling to broaden his network. In 1995, using an alias, al-Zawahiri even visited California on a secret fund-raising mission.

According to an article I read several months ago, Zawahiri was accompanied, during his trip to California, by that guy Ali Mohammed, another Egyptian, who was a double agent, who worked for the Army and the FBI, and who eventually was arrested and convicted of terrorism.

A guy named Mooheab Kahn brought al-Zawahiri into the US under a false passport for a fud raiser for Bin Laden. The LA FBI has a huge file on this. The Orange County mosque is one of the largest in California and is very militant. BTW, Kahn kid Suhael used to work in the White House under Bush and was instrumental in organizing those Muslim photo ops in the rose garden with Bush after 911. When the USSS found out about Kahn’s family past it kind of when ballistic. So the kid now work at DOE as a PIO.
