I assume the CT crowd will be all over this story:
The charges themselves are a little murky, but the story does get into some of 9-11 aspects:
No doubt we will start hearing that the Sunday Times confirmed this accusation, when all they did here was repeat it. I hope that some enterprising reporter will take up this aspect of the story and either confirm or deny it. The $100,000 wire transfer immediately before the attacks makes little sense; Atta was actually wiring small sums out of the US just before the attacks.
There's more, including a claim that a senior State Department official assisted in getting some people suspected of knowledge of the attacks out of the country. BradBlog, which has been pushing the Sibel Edmonds story, names the official although the Sunday Times does not.
A WHISTLEBLOWER has made a series of extraordinary claims about how corrupt government officials allowed Pakistan and other states to steal nuclear weapons secrets.
The charges themselves are a little murky, but the story does get into some of 9-11 aspects:
The Pakistani operation was led by General Mahmoud Ahmad, then the ISI chief.
Intercepted communications showed Ahmad and his colleagues stationed in Washington were in constant contact with attachés in the Turkish embassy.
Intelligence analysts say that members of the ISI were close to Al-Qaeda before and after 9/11. Indeed, Ahmad was accused of sanctioning a $100,000 wire payment to Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers, immediately before the attacks.
