Osama Basnan: The Saudi Connection To September 11th 2001

On October 17th 1992, a Saudi resident living in Washington DC is holding a house party for the arrival of Egyptian terrorist and co-leader of an Egyptian terrorist organization, Gamma Islammiyah, (Blind Sheikh) Omar Abdel Rahman. The part is monitored by the FBI, and the house and it's resident is also monitored. The resident's name is Osama Basnan. By 1998, he is suspected of being affiliated with Saudi intelligence and has very affluent connections, even with US-Saudi ambassador, Bandar Bin Sultan, whom asks for financial assistance for his wife, Majeda Dweikat for thyroid surgery. The money would later come thru monthly transactions that lasted til early 2002. The money would be reportedly exchanged thru Dweikat, than to Basnan, then to Omar al-Bayoumi who would then give it to two future 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who were all living in the same Parkwood Apartments in San Diego. Basnan continually denied ever knowing the 9/11 hijackers or even his close associate Omar al-Bayoumi. The FBI opens two separate cases on Basnan, but would abruptly close, as nothing of value is reported. However, during the 9/11 Commission, an unnamed FBI agent will later testify that Basnan was indeed known to al-Mihdhar & al-Hazmi, but also to Omar Abdel Rahman, Omar al-Bayoumi and Ramzi bin al-Shibh who would later be arrested for his connections to the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks.
