Schippers does not say that Atta was in the Phillipines prior to OKC.
Scippers does say that he has a witness who saw and heard friends of Al Hussaini from OKC talking in August of 2001 at a hotel to hijacker pilot Moahmmed Atta and Zacharias Moussaoui (trained at Norman OK flight school and at a flight school in Minnesota).
Schippers described John Doe #2 for the OKC bombing case as the Iraqi Al Hussaini. Schippers says that he now believes that Hussaini is a more more important terrorist operative than he originally realized. Schippers said Hussaini is a key money mover for terrorists and their operations.
Schippers said that active FBI agents who are Arab Americans have been a "brick wall" that have impeded investigations into the ME connections to the OKC bombing and 9/11 attacks.
Schippers reported that a member of the Abu Sayyef terror group (backed by Bin Laden and with direct ties to AlQaeda) attended a meeting with McVeigh, Nichols, and JD #2 (Al Hussaini) in the Phillipines prior to the OKC bombing ( April 19, 1995). Schippers says that the Abu Sayyef member who attended the meeting told his story about the meeting in an interview which was recorded on tape. Schippers says he has a copy of the interview tape but that the Abu Sayyef member was murdered after the interview and tape was made. He did not say who the ABu Sayyef member was.
The Abu Sayyef member who attended the meeting was Edwin Angeles in my opinion His story and the meeting was described in defense attorney Stephen Jones' Writ of Mandamus to the 10 the Circuit Court of Appeals in March 1996. The story in the Writ however does not have McVeigh at the meeting, only Nichols and Angeles. The Writ was rejected on national security grounds. Angeles was in fact later murdered. I have posted this info along with how Angeles was murdered on the FR several time including last month.
Schippers went on to say that Al Hussaini has been on a terrorist watch list in the Phillipines for many years because Phillipine intelligence knew of Al Hussaini's meeting with Edwin Angeles and Nichols in 1995. Schippers said the FBI has known about this for many years.
Yet according to Schippers nothing was done in the US about Al Hussaini by the FBI and now Hussaini has disappeared after the 9/11 attacks and cannot be found by the FBI.
The FBI followed Atta around for years and lost track of him so the FBI says. Now it appears the FBI has lost track of Hussaini who was a baggage handler at Boston's Logan airport prior to the 9/11 attacks.
