One former and three current federal law enforcement officials said the new probe began after U.S. officials learned that intelligence agents in India had wiretapped the telephone of a Pakistani charity funded by the Saudi government and discovered the transfer of $100,000 to Mohamed Atta, one of the 19 al Qaeda hijackers in the September 11 attacks.

I think this is the first time I've seen it stated that one of these charities was involved in that transfer of money to Atta (by Sheikh at the behest of the director of the ISI, as we know from other stories.)

Maybe those computers seized at that Islamic charity in Texas the week before 9/11 would have yielded a lot of information, given time. Could 9/11 have happened when it did to forestall the feds using that information to block terrorist attacks? Bin Laden said on one of the videotapes that he got word the preceding Thursday (Sept. 6) that the attack was going ahead. The suspicious trading in airline put options occurred on Thursday and Friday. What day that week was the raid on the charity?

I think your memory is better than mine. I don't remember any charities being raided that week, and this is all I have in my notes: Texas Company Suspected of Making Illegal Shipments to Libya and Syria has Export Privileges Suspended. The press release is dated Sept.7th.

Can you remember a name for the charity you're thinking of?

Your reply #34 is dead on target aristeides.

The raid on InfoCom was in Dallas on September 5, 2001 a Wednesday. InfoCOm shared the same board members as Holy Land FOundation (the charity across the street) and the same Bush/Clinton attornesys -Adkin& Gump. InfoCOm ran a global web site service for Holy Land and HAmas and Saudi(royals and businessmen) supporters of Bin Laden for Iraq to transfer funds. THe Feds knew something was up before the raid on 9/6/01 and something from the raid before 9/11/01. The FBI had been monitoring Holy Land and InfoCOm since 1993 and knew in detail all along about their terror activities.
