• Al Qaeda captive denies sending 9/11 funds
  --McClatchy Newspapers (Very interesting information here. Hawsawi was apparently the fall guy for Omar Saeed Sheikh. After Omar wired cash to the hijackers, Hawsawi was instructed to pick up the leftovers using the same account. More to come.)
  
  "Hawsawi admitted to receiving paramilitary training in an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan. He said senior al Qaeda members instructed him to leave the United Arab Emirates for Pakistan on Sept. 10, 2001 and that in the days just before, he’d received about $20,000 in Western Union transfers from some of the men who commandeered the 9/11 aircraft.
  
  But he denied ever sending funds to the 9/11 hijackers and denied specifically joining al Qaeda or swearing an oath of allegiance to Osama bin Laden."

"...Mr Katznelson said: 'Mr Rawi helped MI5 as an interpreter and acted as a go-between with Abu Qatada [a terror suspect later arrested and detained by the British authorities]. All this would have... been very embarrassing for the government and... MI5.'"

"The illicit opium poppy industry is, according to a former minister in President Hamid Karzai's government, "a pyramid structure. If ever there were a management prize for the perfect supply chain," it would go to what generates from one half to two-thirds of Afghan GDP. He said there are "25 mafia dons at the top of the pyramid who control the key power levers. The Interior Ministry is owned by the drug industry." ..."
