Michael LebowitzGUEST
And what those... um information showed was that he what pracha was advising al-Qaeda, how to set up shell companies, how to set up shipping companies.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
And then we know during a very hard-earned voluntary confession from Saifullah Pracha that he was advising al-Qaeda senior leaders, another guy named Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, who was another 9-11 conspirator, he was advising them how to ship explosives, meaning chemical weapons in that context, to Europe.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
So we know the advice was going on and we know that he had the means.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
And what we do find out about Saifullah Paracha was that he had a pocket organizer.
JayPANELIST
Sure
Michael LebowitzGUEST
... just liked to be along for the ride, and he just kind of, and KSM, you know, eventually, you know, after 9/11, he kinda passed the, the n- the Al-Qaeda dealings with Peracha onto KSM's nephew, a guy named Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, who was also one of the main 9/11 conspirators.
JayPANELIST
So, d- but at some point, Michael, Peracha had to understand he was in over his head, or maybe he didn't think he was in over his head.
JayPANELIST
He's gonna help probably the world's largest, in terms of influence, terrorist organization smuggle radioactive material into the US through shipping ports? Uh, he was okay with that a- at some point? Am I tracking this story correctly?

Michael LebowitzGUEST
... what you think.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
But, but I'll tell you, um, you know, so I'll give you an example.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
There was a guy named Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and he was, you know, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's nephew.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
He was directly involved in the 9/11 plot.
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
Yeah, a- and I, but I think that's the other thing, is right now we're waiting on the Supreme Court to decide if they're gonna hear the appeal on plea deals, and so that's happening at the Supreme Court level.
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
And then we have what's happening on, in Gitmo, and then we also have one of the defendants, Ammar al-Baluchi, and his case of suppression is being addressed at the Court of Military Review, at the CMCR.
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
And it's like there's all these parts-
Jessica TrantGUEST
Mm
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
And so, listen, I'll eat my words, but I guarantee you the prosecution will appeal that.
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
another detainee, Amar Al-Baluchi, his statements were thrown out by the previous judge, and the prosecution appealed that, and it's still with the Court of Military Review, and it's been...
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
I want to say over a year, where we're waiting to hear what's going to happen there.
Elizabeth MillerGUEST
So I don't see how June 2028 is possible.
Michael LeibowitzGUEST
So in some Al Qaeda safe houses with some very high ranking Al Qaeda members, when they were raided, um, And the way bottom of the evidence pile was business cards from Paracha and emails talking about setting up shell companies, which might sound boring, but that's the framework for shipping explosives into the United States.
Michael LeibowitzGUEST
And then it turns out that Paracha did advise Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, who was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's nephew and one of the main 9-11 facilitators who's still at Guantanamo Bay.
Michael LeibowitzGUEST
He was advising him how to ship potentially chemical weapons to Europe.
Michael LeibowitzGUEST
So Paracha definitely provided expert advice that would certainly be considered providing material support for terrorism.
