1995 started for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed with the Manila cell’s bust, continuing his run of failed operations. Then in February his childhood friend, nephew and co-conspirator Ramzi Yousef was arrested in Pakistan and handed to the USA for trial and undoubtedly a full life term prison sentence. The FBI had been aware of KSM since 1993, but Murad and Yousef’s detention provided details that finally allowed agents to locate him. In October 1995, with evidence linking him to the 1993 WTC bomb and the Bojinka plot, the FBI finally confirmed KSM’s identity and his exact location - in an apartment in Qatar (Wayback Machine: 'October 1995: CIA Learns KSM’s Exact Location in Qatar but No Action Is Taken'). A CIA field agent’s request for a secret rendition of KSM is denied and they’re told to await a federal indictment and formal extradition request. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been given another reprieve, as though he was protected from up on high.
1996 was no better for KSM, starting in January with a US indictment for his role in the 1993 WTC bombing but remarkably he got another reprieve. KSM was allegedly warned by a Qatari royal of his impending arrest and allowed to flee the country. KSM's 'protection from up on high' was the new generation al-Thani dynasty in Qatar that had come to power via a western back coup in June 1995, and specifically government minister Abdullah bin Khalid al-Thani. He'd given KSM a no-show job at the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water between 1993 and 96. Therefore, not only was KSM's terror spree effectively financed and facilitated by a Qatari government minister, but they also helped KSM escape capture by the USA. Where did KSM find sanctuary after fleeing Qatar? There are reports of him in multiple countries and suggestions he travelled freely on numerous false identities provided by his Qatari friends. There's evidence he was in Yemen too (detailed here), inside the hilltop headquarters compound of the Hayel Saeed Anam Group (17-miles south of Al Qaidah town). In August 1996 the HSA Group sourced industrial quantities of TNT explosive’s component chemicals. Because I met KSM and two Pakistani chemical engineers in the HSA Group’s HQ in September 1997, I think those component chemicals ordered by HSA in August 1996 were for the TNT bombs KSM subsequently used in the August 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. HSA sourced those TNT chemicals via the US embassy Yemen and the US State Department Washington.
I started two new jobs 1996. In January I began contracting for Air BP at Manchester Airport, logging aircraft refuelling tickets and maintaining aviation fuel stocks. Then in October 1996 my parents offered me a job with their Queen’s Award-winning engineering export business (JM Heaford Limited) as an international field service technician. I'd served a five-year mechanical fitter apprenticeship (1988-93) building their printing machinery, so I knew the product, and the travel appealed to me too. When Air BP offered me a permanent contract in response my parents countered by saying that being family, they'd give me better job security and so I accepted their offer. They made me redundant in April 1998, after sending me to furnish KSM's front company in September 1997 Yemen and several other suspect overseas trips. In 2019 I found evidence linking my parents’ business to British and American Intelligence agencies, or more specifically the Deep State, but in 1996 I had no inkling of their clandestine activities.
1997
March Three senior Hayel Saeed Anam Group executives become directors of a financial shell company in the Cayman Islands. Called Atlantic Investments, the business front was setup by three members of the St Clair-Morgan family of another British tax haven, Jersey. The St Clair-Morgan’s have been implicated in illegal international arms dealing and money laundering connected to the 1990s Iraqi oil-for-food program, a UN program in which a HSA Group subsidiary based in Malaysia, Pacific Interlink, was accused of terrorism financing via price-skimming on the oil-for-food contracts.
April Three senior Hayel Saeed Anam Group executives visit a printing industry exhibition in Chicago and purchase $3-million of machinery – enough to furnish an entire factory from scratch – for an end customer in Yemen whose name they made up and address they refused to give. It was machinery to furnish KSM’s front company YemPak (Yemen-Pakistan), inside the HSA Group’s Taiz HQ compound. The HSA executives purchased a $100K machine from my British Queen’s Award-winning employer and, without negotiating, offered to pay the full list price upfront, via an off-shore transfer (from the Cayman Islands I assume). They used their London front company, a HSA subsidiary called Longulf Trading, to conduct their business in Chicago. I now know that machine sale was setup by my employer’s CIA linked US sales agent David Dean who’d arranged a previous machine sale to the HSA Group Yemen in 1993, just before the 1994 north/south Yemen civil war when the USA was allied to the victorious north, who in turn were allied to Al Qaeda fighters based in Yemen and had worked with CIA employed contractor Billy Waugh. I think Waugh was David Dean’s mentor after they met during their service during America’s war in Vietnam.
May HSA’s Longulf Trading company creates a new business in Britain, investing tens of millions to purchase the three biggest cardboard packaging manufacturers and amalgamating them into one – Cepac Limited. HSA now own Britain's biggest cardboard packaging manufacturer, bestowing significant power and influence over British affairs on HSA’s directors.
11 June is when I conceived a 9/11 style attack while flying between Boston and Toronto, the principal reason being I had just boarded a passenger plane without undergoing one security check. I could’ve had a machine-gun in my carry-on luggage and no one would’ve known. With the 1993 WTC attack and the 1994 Air France 8969 hijacking in mind, I predicted the 1993 WTC group would try again but using a hijacked passenger plane as a missile, even checking-out the other passengers on my flight for potential hijackers.
