These were 9/11 accused Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's financiers from 1987 through to 9/11:
  • Abdul Rasul Sayyaf - a strongly supported NATO Afghan ally who was KSM's employer, trainer and mentor - his boss - starting in 1987 and continuing till 9/11
  • Qatar's Government employed KSM as a Project Engineer in its Ministry of Electricity and Water from 1993 and members of its ruling family helped him escape US capture in 1996
  • The Hayel Saeed Anam Group is a Yemeni owned, British allied global business empire that hosted and funded KSM in 1997, and helped him plan 9/11 while he was based in their secure hilltop headquarters in Taiz city, 17-miles south of Al Qaidah town in Yemen
Abdul Rasul Sayyaf
- is named repeatedly in the 9/11 Commission report (Pages 146 & 147) that states:
“Sayyaf became KSM’s mentor and provided KSM with military training at Sayyaf’s Sada camp.” and “Between 1988 and 1992, KSM helped run a nongovernmental organization in Peshawar and Jalalabad; sponsored by Sayyaf... ”.
Sayyaf was the principle conduit for Arab Gulf nations’ donations to the Afghan Mujahideen, as per this 1985 CIA assessment that states:
“Sayyaf has used his role as the principle conduit of Arab money to the Jihad (holy war) to build his own insurgent organisation”.
Abdullah bin Khalid Bin Hamad al-Thani
- is named in a US Department of Defense assessment of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (page 3, published by wikileaks), stating:
“In 1993 detainee [KSM] moved his family to Qatar at the suggestion of the former Minister for Islamic affairs of Qatar, Shaykh Abdullah Bin Khalid Bin Hamad al-Thani, where he took a position as Project Engineer with the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water. Detainee [KSM] engaged in extensive international travel during his tenure at the Qatari ministry until early 1996”
Dirhem Abdo Saeed
- is not named in any official documents relating to KSM or 9/11 but I can prove Mr Saeed's companies financed and hosted KSM in 1997, and that KSM initialised the 9/11 plot whilst based in the headquarters of one of Mr Saeed’s companies, the Hayel Saeed Anam Group headquarters in Yemen.
April 1997 Chicago: Longulf Trading of London purchased $3-million of printing machinery to furnish KSM’s front company in Yemen, including a flexographic printing plate mounting & proofing machine from my employer J M Heaford Ltd. Dirhem Abdo Saeed is Longulf Trading’s managing director.
September 1997 Yemen: I was the technician sent to Yemen to install the machine purchased by Longulf Trading. That is where I was introduced to ‘the Engineer’ (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed), inside the headquarters compound of the Hayel Saeed Anam Group at PO Box 5302, Taiz. Dirhem Abdo Saeed is a vice-chairman of the Hayel Saeed Anam Group.
