Prince`s father founded charity linked to al-Quaida - 2005/12/03 17:11
I thought some of you would like to know a little more about the family background of Thoroughbred Corporation`s Ahmed Salman, the owner of War Emblem who is shooting for the Triple Crown this weekend. You sure won`t be reading this in any of the cowardly industry trades that cater to big Saudi money.
Ahmed Salman is the nephew of Saudi King Fahd. He is the son of King Fahd`s brother, Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, who is the governor of Riyadh, the capitol of Saudi Arabia. He is part of the family that has ruled Saudi Arabia since 1745. -1-
His father, Prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz was the founder of the Saudi High Commission for Aid to Bosnia (SHCA . It was supported by King Fahd and was ostensibly a charity.
This charity, the SHCAB, is suspected of being an entity that funnelled money to terrorists, although there has been no official smoking gun that implicates the top leaders of the Saudi goverment.
That is curious because the goverment is a tightly controlled dictatorial regime with no constitutional human rights. It can imprison anyone in this tiny kingdom of 16,000,000 inhabitants for simply speaking against the royal famly. It`s difficult to imagine the well funded sophisticated covert operations in Bosnia were going on without official goverment sanctioning. This is Saudi Arabia after all, not Afghanistan.
After a European raid of SHCAB last October, NATO forces discovered the "charity" was supplying such things as maps of government buildings in D.C., materials for forging U.S. State Department badges, files on the use of crop dusters, and photographs of terror targets including the World Trade Center. -2-
One of the six Algerians captured in Bosnia suspected of belonging to the al-Qaida network and plotting to attack the US embassy in Sarajevo also worked for the Saudi High Commission for Aid to Bosnia. -3-
Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz has also raised money for another charity, the International Islamic Relief Organization, or IIRO. The Washington Post exposed the Saudi-financed International IIRO and its direct terrorist affiliations in its Sept. 29 special report. The Kenyan goverment found the IIRO was a conduit for money to fund the US Embassy bombings in that country. Kenya later banned the IIRO from operating within their borders.
The IIRO and closely-related group, the Muslim World League, have offices in Canada and the United States and reportedly have networks that support Osama bin Laden`s al Qaeda organization.
Bin Laden`s brother-in-law, Mohammed JalalKhalifa, headed the Manila branches of both the IIRO and Muslim World League in the early 1990s. -4-
Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz not only contributed to the IIRO, he has helps run it and opened the 8th annual fund raising campaign for the organization. Over eight million Saudi riyals (2.13 million U.S. dollars) was raised in the opening week of the campaign. The prince personally donated one million riyals (266,666 dollars). -5-
Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz is also the head of the Saudi Committee for the Support of Al Quds Intifada and also Chairman of the Popular Committee for the Assistance of the Palestinian Mujahideen.
3,228,573 riyals from the revenues of the Popular Committee were sent to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Last year more than 161 million riyals were given to the families of the martyrs and other support was given related to the Palestininan / Israeli conflct.
Based on a directive from Prince Salman Ibn Abdul Aziz, a school in Riyadh was ordered to hold exhibitions in support of the Intifada. A Saudi goverment official said the exhibitions were held in support of the Palestinian people`s fight for independence and to show solidarity against the "Jewish aggression which aim is to erase the Muslim identity in Palestine". -6-
Six of the FBI`s 22 most wanted terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, are Saudis. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks were Saudis. This Saturday, Saudi-born Prince Ahmed Salman, will be competing for American racing`s most coveted thoroughbred racing prize in the very city where the horrific 9-11 attacks occurred, yet he still declines to speak about this matter.
He states, "I am a businessman, not a politician," he said after the Derby. "I leave these questions to our politicians and your politicians. There are bad people everywhere. What has happened in the past has happened." -1-
After his horse, War Emblem, romped in Saturday`s Preakness Stakes, Prince Salman reportedly dedicated the win to the people of Saudi Arabia -7-.
He said, "I think I`m a little more popular than President Bush."
