Zawahiri was in the US??!!
Ayman Al-Zawahiri is (was?) Al-Qaeda'a #2. Associated with Egyptian Islamic Jihad, he is a medical doctor who served time in Egyptian prison for co-conspiracy in the assassination of Anwar Sadat.
To: cookcounty
Zawahiri was in the US??!!Not once, but TWICE... Once earlier in the 1990s, the second time right after Khalifa's arrest, just a short drive down the road.

Very interesting. How do we know that the FBI didn't fully investigate Khalifa? Was there information, at the time, that would have alerted us to these specific acts?
To: JohnBerger
"Not once, but TWICE.." But we found out later, Zawahiri had been here? I have a hard time believing we would have knowingly let him into the country.
Then again, with our know-nothng INS, anything is possible.

Was there information, at the time, that would have alerted us to these specific acts?We don't know how much they did, but we do know that no criminal charges were filed, terrorism charges were expunged from his record, incriminating evidence was returned to him, Loay Bayazid was (sooner or later) released and eventually allowed to flee the country, and Khalifa himself was extradited and eventually freed. Contemporaneous news accounts indicated he was in solitary confinement but his lawyers never indicated he had been interrogated about anything except the Jordan charges.
I am still pursuing detailed information on exactly what sort of interrogation and investigation actually took place. But that's a damn sight harder to dig up. Peter Lance indicated in his book that no interrogation took place at all, but I think that probably needs to be double-checked because I just can't believe they were that foolish, given the interest in him at the time.

Thanks for all your research. I tend to be a real skeptic on the conspiracy stuff, but then again, there sometimes actually are conspiracies as we've learned to our regret. Keep diggng!

Didn't Ali Mohammed accompany Zawahiti everywhere on one of those trips? Ali Mohammed was in big with some of the authorties.

Didn't Ali Mohammed accompany Zawahiti everywhere on one of those trips? Ali Mohammed was in big with some of the authorties. Yes, the 1995 trip. Ali M. and Khalid abu al Dahab lived in Santa Clara and facilitated Zawahiri on fundraising trips around the country. Funds from this trip were said to be disappointing. Feds suspect the money were used for an Egyptian embassy bombing later that year. This is all from a combination of the WSJ, Sacramento Bee and SF Chronicle, plus some related court documents which are much less detailed.

Laurie Mylroie argues in her new book Bush Versus the Beltway that that Egyptian embassy bombing was in fact the work of the Iraqis. If she's right, I doubt if they needed money that much.
To: aristeides
I don't want to start a brawl ;-) but my own research hasn't really done much to convince me of the "Iraqis as the major sponsor of world terrorism" theory.
I freely admit I could be wrong about this. But I do note with interest (but without a formal allegation) that the very first source to claim the Iraqis were behind OKC appears to have been a tipoff from Saudi intelligence (to Vincent Cannistraro) on April 19, while at that exact moment, prominent Saudi businessman Khalifa was sitting in a U.S. prison, after spending the previous 6 years funneling cash from wealthy Saudis to al Qaeda.
And of course, as the story points out, Khalifa was extradited to Jordan days later.

No reason to brawl. I have no idea whether Mylroie is right or not.
To: aristeides
I haven't reviewed it in enough detail to critique it, so I don't know either. But the trail of breadcrumbs I've followed so far has led me mostly to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia...

....deported to Jordan in April 1995 at the insistence of the State Department.I read this, and remember how reluctant the State Department is to deport any Arab Muslim, and wonder if we have vicious treason in government.
