I'm not a journalist, writer or investigator.
I am a witness to some
very significant matters.

September 1997: I was a field service technician employed by a Queen's Award winning British engineering export company when I was sent to install some printing machinery for a supposedly new customer in Yemen. The new customer was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Pakistani terrorist cell's front company called YemPak, short for Yemen-Pakistan they told me. Their factory was inside an existing customer's compound, a very large and secure hilltop headquarters commanding Taiz city's eastern entrance. It is 17-miles south of Al Qaidah town that I also visited. KSM's hosts and financiers were the British allied, US supplied, multi-billion dollar Hayel Saeed Anam (HSA) Group - now based in Dubai. My employer at the time, operating with a Royal seal of approval, was my parent's company JM Heaford Limited. They came out of retirement to send me to Yemen despite strong government advice against going. CIA operator Gary Harrinton said 1999 Yemen was Al Qaeda's R&R holiday destination but still safe for US forces to visit. US Ambassador to Yemen (1997-01) Barbara Bodine said:
"When I got there in 1997, there was already an Al Qaeda presence. We knew about it. The Yemenis knew about it. Everyone knew about it.... these people were primarily foreign nationals.... warehoused in peripheral areas."
By arrangement of the HSA Group's managing director Saeed Alrobaidi, aka the Chief, I was vetted over dinner at my hotel in Taiz by Yousef. The next morning the Chief introduced me to the Engineer (KSM) before his general manager Mohamed took me to an unscheduled meeting one mile from Al Qaidah town - a recruitment interview that I cut short before it'd begun. Those meetings occurred after KSM's Pakistani chemical engineers asked me about visiting New York as tourists. I repeated a warning I'd given to a customer in Toronto on 12 June 1997 after flying there from Boston's Logan airport. I said I expected the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bomb group to try again but next time using a hijacked plane departing Logan airport as a missile. My advice was not to visit the WTC and to resist any hijacking attempts, even highlighting box-cutters as an easily carried and potentially leathal weapon. I believe that is How, Where and When the 9/11 Plot Began, based on my detailed travel warning unwittingly shared with KSM's terrorist cell.
On 8 January 2020 my old friend and workmate David Dean died by drowning in Lake Hartwell, Georgia USA. He was JM Heaford Ltd's US sales agent who I believe setup the machine sale to Yemen at an April 1997 exhibition in Chicago, knowing it was for KSM's front company. His disappearance in the lake occurred two days after I'd accused him on twitter of links to CIA contractor Billy Waugh, saying Dean 'set up the machine sale for the Al Qaeda front company in Yemen'. In his 2004 autobiography Billy Waugh admitted working in 1990s Yemen with 'Al Qaeda operators intent on attacking the USA' .
I’m documenting my experiences so my testimony and the supporting evidence I've presented can be acted upon. I declined a 9 March 2018 9/11 Military Commission invitation to interview from US Pentagon based investigators because they were working for KSM's nephew's defence attorneys and wouldn't discuss my witness status. British security services are spying on and targeting me for retribution, but refuse to acknowledge my reports or investigate my claims. Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, Parliament's Intelligence & Security Committee and the US Embassy London have all been formally informed of my experiences in 1997 Yemen, via my MP Sir Graham Brady on 27 March 2017. .........Signed: .....Anthony C Heaford
Reports



NEW >>>
Entirely seperately I deployed to Afghanistan with the British army in summer 2012, a vehicle mechanic working in Camp Bastion's light vehicles workshop. I did many airfield guard duties and five top-cover vehicle patrols too. My experiences included protecting opium harvesting and processing, refusing illegal orders, using a civilian human shield against a possible IED, witnessing hundreds of millions of £££ of procurement corruption and fatal command incompetence.
