Turkey freezes assets of Cheney terrorist associate
Super article - well worth really studying and following
the links in the footnotes:

Assets of reputed CIA front man frozen in Turkey
By Devlin Buckley
Online Journal Contributing Writer
Mar 2, 2007, 01:30

A court in Turkey has frozen the assets of Yasin al-Qadi <1> a one-time acquaintance of Vice President Dick Cheney <2> and reported “chief money launderer” of Osama bin Laden. <3>

Al-Qadi, prior to being publicly identified as a key al-Qaeda financer, owned a prominent U.S. technology firm and reported CIA front known as Ptech. <4> He also escorted U.S. officials around during their visits to Saudi Arabia. <5>

“Council of State Administrative Cases Bureau on Thursday decided to annul a lower court’s decision to rescind a cabinet order to freeze the assets of Saudi financier Yasin al-Qadi, who has been accused of financing terrorism,” the Turkish Daily News reported last Saturday. <6>


One of the footnotes takes you to another fine article by the same author:

Scratching the Surface
Devlin Buckley, 11/16/06

... Indeed, several current and former top al-Qaeda militants and financers reportedly participated in the Bosnian civil war with the full support of the United States. It was, after all, for the Bosnian jihad that the 9/11 'paymaster', Omar Sheikh, was reportedly recruited to fight by the CIA and MI6.

As the above excerpt notes, it was recently revealed that Izetbegovic was "in the pay" of Yassin al-Qadi, a specially designated global terrorist and widely reported al-Qaeda financer.


Essential reading!
