Update on 911 Funders Saeed Sheikh and Mahmud Ahmed
just found this excellent article linked to at 911Truth.org:

Musharraf names 9/11 suspect as possible British asset
The American Monitor, 11/18/06, by Devlin Buckley
http://www.theamericanmonitor.com/musharraf.html

Prior to the 9/11 attacks, the head of Pakistan’s ISI, General Mahmud Ahmed, ordered Omar Sheikh to wire $100,000 to the lead hijacker, Mohammed Atta—a report that has been confirmed by the director of the FBI’s financial crimes unit, Dennis Lormel.3

3. ... Michael Meacher, “Britain now faces its own blowback—Intelligence interests may thwart the July bombings investigation,” The Guardian, 10 September 2005, http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1566916,00.html.



Furthermore, investigators in Britain believe Omar trained the 9/11 attackers in hijacking techniques.20
20. David Bamber, Chris Hastings and Rajeev Syal, “London house linked to US plot,” The Telegraph, 30 September 2001, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/09/30/nhunt30.xml.


General Mahmud, who is portrayed in Musharraf’s book as a close military advisor and a strong ally during the 1999 coup,4 maintained simultaneous relationships with the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and the governments of both Pakistan and the United States.5

In fact, General Mahmud (who allegedly ordered Omar Sheikh to finance the 9/11 attacks) was in Washington the week of 9/11 for, as one Pakistani report put it, “mysterious meetings at the Pentagon and National Security Council.”6



It would appear the U.S. has no interest in extraditing Omar Sheikh; and neither Omar nor General Mahmud Ahmed has been charged in connection with the 9/11 attacks.

In fact, as The New Yorker reported, following his forced resignation from the ISI General Mahmud “resurfaced in Pakistan as the head of a subsidiary of a prominent business consortium, a position that required government backing.”27

1. Fascinating articles.
Edited on Tue Jan-30-07 12:15 PM by CJCRANE
Just as per Paul Thompson's comment in "9/11: Press for Truth", it seems that individual articles and stories in mainstream newspapers give us hints as to the truth, but no high-profile editor seems willing to connect the dots.

2. Part of the problem may be that MIHOP is regarded ...
... as an extraordinary claim. It is not - These kinds of
MIHOP false-flag atrocities have been committed repeatedly
throughout history. Not only the US, but Israel, Russia,
Britain and France are notorious offenders. Try googling
"Gladio", "Northwoods", "Ryazan bomb", "Lavon Affair",
"USS Liberty" ...

These are just a few of the better known and well established
examples!
