Brian KilmeadeHOST
It's Pakistan, and then you get, uh, soon after Abu Zubaydah, leads to Ramzi bin al-Shibh?
Frank PellegrinoGUEST
Yes.
Brian KilmeadeHOST
And then sooner or later you get the mother lode, the guy that looks all dumpy and looks like they woke him up in the middle of the night.
John McLaughlinGUEST
It disrupts them even before you've talked to them.
John McLaughlinGUEST
And, uh, and it led us, for example, one terrorist, a fellow named Ramzi bin al-Shibh, was, uh, spotlighted by someone named Abu Zubaydah.
John McLaughlinGUEST

John McLaughlinGUEST
Majid Khan led us to two other people, ultimately to, um, Ismahu Din Hambali and the architect of the Bali bombing.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
So they use it.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
They-- If you look at the official story, they blame the financing of 9/11 on Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawawii, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and Ali Abdul Aziz, but they don't explain where those three got the money from.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
It's because it comes from states.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
What they ignore is Omar Bagimi and Osama Basnan, and that ultimately goes back to Prince Turki bin Faisal and Bandar Bush, and I can prove all of that.
Frank PellegrinoGUEST
In Pakistan.
Brian KilmeadeHOST
Pakistan, and then you get, uh, soon after Abu Zubaydah leads to Ramzi bin al-Shibh.
Frank PellegrinoGUEST

Sami ShahHOST
Pakistani officers carried out the raid and also captured Mustafa al-Hausawi, who had helped finance and facilitate the hijackers.
John McLaughlinGUEST
W- we do know that we prevented one potential hijacker from coming into the United States.
John McLaughlinGUEST
That was Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and yet, and what we discovered after that is that they had a method for replacing people who were caught.
John McLaughlinGUEST
So taking these two people out ahead of time, I'm guessing they had replacements coming in or in place.
John McLaughlinGUEST
It's one of the many what-ifs.
Scott HortonGUEST
Once the attack happened, the, um, the, uh, Taliban's original position was, "Give us some proof that he did it, and we'll try him here." And George Bush is like, "Yeah, right." And they go, "Okay, well, give us some proof that he did it, and we'll turn him over to any Muslim country." Now, he did do it, and proving that's easy.
Scott HortonGUEST
You know, bin Laden knows Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, knows Ramzi bin al-Shibh, knows Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Scott HortonGUEST
This thing is case closed deal.
Scott HortonGUEST
Like this, they, uh, they planned the thing at the Malaysia meeting, blah, blah, blah, blah.
David McCloskeyHOST
The, the Lebanese guy who was having, you know, second thoughts with the girlfriend and was looking wobbly in the middle of 2001.
David McCloskeyHOST
So M- Moussaoui though, is in touch with Ramzi bin al-Shibh, the facilitator coordinator in Europe, and he, he's receiving $14,000 in wires.
David McCloskeyHOST
In any case, on the 15th of August, 2001, the FBI office in Minneapolis opens up an investigation because the flight instructor at Moussaoui's school got really freaked out because he has this guy taking 747 flight lessons who says, like, "I, I actually don't want to become a commercial pilot."
Gordon CoreraHOST
Yeah.
25 MINS LATER
Gordon CoreraHOST
And I've been to Guantanamo a number of times, and nearly covered some of these trials, but his trial keeps on getting delayed.

David McCloskeyHOST
Ramzi bin al-Shibh, that coordinator, one of the members of the Hamburg cell who didn't get a visa to come to the US, he's captured in September of 2002 in Karachi.
David McCloskeyHOST
He's in Gitmo.
John McLaughlinGUEST
It disrupts them even before you've talked to them.

John McLaughlinGUEST
KSM, in turn, led us to Majid Khan.
John McLaughlinGUEST
Majid Khan led us to two other people, ultimately to, um, Ismahuden, Hambali, an architect of the Bali bombing, and from that, uh, to his brother who was putting together the second wave attack.
