US Officials ID second man seized in raid.
MSNBC ^ | 3-03-03 | Unknown

Posted on 03/03/2003 5:49:26 PM PST by Dog

The law enforcement and intelligence sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified Al-Hawsawi as the third man. Al-Hawsawi, 34, a native of Saudi Arabia, is described as a “supporting conspirator” in the indictment of Zacarias Moussaoui, the alleged 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Federal prosecutors allege that Al-Hawsawi handled tens of thousands of dollars for the hijackers through bank accounts in the United Arab Emirates. He fled the UAE for Pakistan on the day of the attacks, according to the indictment.

Lots of info here.

Court papers cite al-Hawsawi in funding of Sept. 11 attacks (12/19/01)

Indeed a BIG catch! Losing the "money guy" in the links between cells can really have an impact!

"Follow the money trail...."

Hopefully there are a lot of interesting bank account and transaction data captured with Al-Hawsawi.

And from the liberal network news it may never recieve any attention. They can't stand to talk about how America is on the way to defeating these monsters, thanks to the Bush administration.

FBI gave secret files to terrorist suspect - smh.com.au
... Mr Mueller noted Moussaoui was the one exception. Authorities have long focused
on Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi as a primary money man for the hijackers. ...

Saudis & Money ... sort of like the flu and pig-snouts. The world will be the richer when the Saudis are beggars.

..........Al-Hawsawi handled tens of thousands of dollars for the hijackers...........

Hmmmmmmmmmm...........So does this mean that rather than 'bulking up' at Golds Gym, like the 911 clowns, the pig-sucking Moose-limb terrorist scumbags that may be here are going to have to get real jobs?
