Osama bin Laden BIOGRAPHY(page9)


5. Al Qaeda functioned both on its own and through some of the

terrorist organizations that operated under its umbrella, including:

Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and at times, the Islamic Group (also

known as “el Gamaa Islamia” or simply “Gamaa’t”), led by Sheik

Omar Abdel Rahman and later by Ahmed Refai Taha, a / k/a “Abu

Yasser al Masri,” named as co-conspirators but not as defendants

herein; and a number of jihad groups in other countries, including

the Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia, Eritrea,

Djibouti, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania, Algeria,

Tunisia, Lebanon, the Philippines, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan

and the Kashmiri region of India and the Chechnyan region of

Russia. Al Qaeda also maintained cells and personnel in a number

of countries to facilitate its activities, including in Kenya,

Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.

6. Al Qaeda had a command and control structure which included

a majlis al shura (or consultation council) which discussed and

approved major undertakings, including terrorist operations.

The defendants USAMA BIN LADEN, MUHAMMAD ATEF,

a/ k/a “Abu Hafs,” AYMAN AL ZAWAHIRI, SAIF AL ADEL,

MAMDOUH MAHMUD SALIM, a / k/a “Abu Hajer,” and

ABDULLAH AHMED ABDULLAH, a / k/a “Abu Mohamed el

Masry,” a / k/a “Saleh,” among others, sat on the majlis al shura

(or consultation council) of al Qaeda. Egyptian Islamic Jihad

had a Founding Council, on which the defendant IBRAHIM

EIDAROUS sat.

APPENDIX 125

7. Al Qaeda also had a “military committee” which considered

and approved “military ” matters. MUHAMMAD ATEF, a / k/a

“Abu Hafs,” the defendant, sat on the military committee and

was one of defendant USAMA BIN LADEN’s two principal

military commanders together with “Abu Ubaidah al Banshiri,”

until the death of “Abu Ubaidah al Banshiri” in May 1996.

Among his other duties, MUHAMMAD ATEF, a / k/a “Abu

Hafs,” the defendant, had the principal responsibility for supervising

the training of al Qaeda members. SAIF AL ADEL

also served on the military committee, reporting to MUHAMMAD

ATEF, a / k/a “Abu Hafs.”

8. USAMA BIN LADEN, the defendant, and al Qaeda also forged

alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with

representatives of the government of Iran, and its associated

terrorist group Hizballah, for the purpose of working together

against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly

the United States.

9. In or about 1994, the defendant USAMA BIN LADEN, working

together with KHALID AL FAWWAZ, a / k/a “ Khaled Abdul

Rahman Hamad al Fawwaz,” a / k/a “Abu Omar,” a/ k/a “Hamad,”

set up a media information offi ce in London, England (hereafter

the “London offi ce”), which was designed both to publicize

the statements of USAMA BIN LADEN and to provide a

cover for activity in support of al Qaeda’s “military” activities,

including the recruitment of military trainees, the disbursement

of funds and the procurement of necessary equipment (including

satellite telephones) and necessary services. In addition,

the London offi ce served as a conduit for messages, including

reports on military and security matters from various al Qaeda

cells, including the Kenyan cell, to al Qaeda’s headquarters.

PREPARED STATEMENT OF VINCENT

CANNISTRARO, FORMER CHIEF OF

COUNTERTERRORISM OPERATIONS,

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

I am pleased to appear before this committee to provide my views on

al-Qaeda, its structure and its objectives. It is important to note that

Americans have a diffi cult time in understanding extremist organizations

with a religious orientation like al-Qaeda. It is essential that the

agencies of our government involved in law enforcement and intelligence

become intimately familiar with the culture of religious zealots

whether of foreign or domestic origin. We must understand the nature

of the threat before we can successfully confront it. In America, we

also have fundamentalists such as Christian Identity, and other religious

extremists who kill or maim in the name of God. Comprehending the

APPENDIX 127

danger and the mind-set of these groups is a fi rst step to deterring the violence

executed by the Osama Bin Laden’s of the world. Unless we know

what drives these religious extremists, who are willing to kill themselves

in the performance of their violent acts, we will see days like September

11, 2001, repeated, perhaps with even greater casualties. It is worth

studying the evolution of the al-Qaeda group. Bin Laden, who opposes

the American infl uence in the Middle East, was outraged by the 1990

Persian Gulf War which saw American and other western troops stationed

in Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden considers the country, ruled by the

Al-Sau’d family, as the guardian of the Islamic holy places. King Abd’al

aziz al-Sau’d, who founded the monarchy, had the support of the Wahabis,

the fundamentalist Islamic sect. The al-Sau’d monarchy derives

its authority from the Wahabis, who allied with Abd’al aziz, in creating

modern Saudi Arabia. In return, the monarchy serves to guarantee the

sanctity of Mecca and Medina, the site and magnetic pole for pilgrimages

by the world’s Muslims. In Bin Laden’s view, the Saudi monarchy

betrayed that sacred pact by allowing Christian and Jewish soldiers to be

stationed on the soil of this Islamic country which had been entrusted

with a special protectorate mission for the holy places. Bin Laden’s opposition

to the monarch resulted in his expulsion from the Kingdom.

Shortly after, Bin Laden used his personal fortune and continuing contributions

from wealthy Islamic businessmen in Saudi and the Gulf to organize

training camps in the Sudan for Islamic activists from every major

Islamic country. These contributions, plus revenues from Islamic Charity

fronts, such as the International Islamic Relief Organization, headed by

Bin Laden’s brother-in-law, as well as numerous other charitable fronts,

continue to fuel his group today .

The international cadres that comprise many of the networks associated

with al-Qaeda were trained by so-called “Arab-Afghans” with

fi ghting experience from the Soviet-Afghan war, although many of these

“mujahedin” did not reach Afghanistan until after the Soviet withdrawal

in 1989. The main mission for Bin Laden was to disperse trained fi ghters

to their native lands to fi ght against the secular Arab regimes and

replace them with religious governments based on the Sharia-Islamic

rather than civil law. The targets were secular Muslim countries such as

Egypt and Algeria, and Muslim-dominated provinces such as Chechnya

128 APPENDIX

and Dagestan in Russia and in Bosnia and Kosovo. Anti-government

movements were also promoted in Libya and Tunisia as well. Indeed,

Bin Laden’s vision is to re-establish the “Islamic Caliphate” across every

Muslim country, a religious restoration of the old Ottoman Empire, this

time under the leadership of the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar. Usama

sees the United States and its world infl uence as the principal obstacle

to achieving his vision.

Bin Laden relocated his operations to Afghanistan following pressure

on the Sudan exerted by Saudi Arabia and the U.S. The Taliban,

a group of religious students from Pakistani schools, were successful in

establishing control over Afghanistan with the active military support

of Pakistan’s military intelligence service, the Inter Services Directorate

(ISI). Pakistan’s concern was to promote ethnic Pashtun control

over the country, which was being run by Afghans hostile to Pashtun

rule and Pakistani infl uence. The Pashtuns, or Pathans in common western

usage, designates several dozen separate tribes on both sides of the

Afghan/ Pakistani border. The Taliban, lacking a secular education, is

almost medieval in its concept of governance. The Taliban rulers have

mismanaged the country, but have been amenable to Pakistani political

infl uence although not totally subservient to it. Pakistan has also used

its position and support to the Taliban to establish within Afghanistan a

series of training camps for Kashmiri terrorists. ISI personnel are present,

in mufti, to conduct the training. This arrangement allowed Pakistan

“plausible denial” that it is promoting insurgency in Kashmir. Pakistan

also provisioned the Taliban with weapons to fi ght the “ Northern Alliance”

which contests Taliban control over the country and had until

recently about 7% of Afghan territory, mostly north of Kabul and in the

Panshir. The Northern Alliance, while including some Pashtuns, has

been commanded by Ahmad Shah Massud, an ethnic Tajik. About three

weeks ago, Massud was assassinated by suicide bombers identifi ed as part

of Bin Laden’s group.

The bonds between Mullah Omar, and Usama Bin Laden, are bonds

of blood and Bin Laden has offered “ bayat” to Mullah Omar, an offering

of submission to his will and his leadership. Bin Laden recently

declared Taliban-ruled Afghanistan as the “new Mecca” and Mullah

Omar as the new caliph. It is therefore all but impossible for Mullah

Omar to turn over Bin Laden to the U.S. for prosecution as the U.S.

APPENDIX 129

has demanded. The Taliban and Bin Laden’s estimated 4,000 to 5,000

fi ghters are intertwined with the Taliban military and Mullah Omar

considers Bin Laden as his right hand.

What is Al-Qaeda? The Arabic word means the “Base,” or “foundation.”

Bin Laden does not refer to his international network as al-Qaeda.

This word refers to his companion in arms at his headquarters in Southern

Afghanistan. In his camps perhaps 10,000 Bangladeshi, Pakistani,

Tunisian, Moroccan, Algerian, Egyptian and ethnic Chechens, Dagestanis,

Kosovars and dozens of other nationalities have been trained.

Some of them are provided specialized intelligence training, some

schooled in the arts of making improvised explosive devices, and others

given instruction in the production and use of chemical weapons. Those

not chosen for specialized tasks are given combat training and either sent

back to their native countries to foment insurgency against their secular

regimes or enlisted in his combat brigade that fi ghts alongside the Taliban

against the Northern opposition. For the past four years, Bin Laden’s

men have fought with the Taliban against Massud, and have suffered

the losses of at least seven hundred to a thousand men in the fi ghting,

including one of Bin Laden’s own sons about seven months ago.

It is important to distinguish between the so-called “loose networks”

of affi liated groups, and the tightly controlled inner circle of al-Qaeda

that conceives and implements their strategic operations. The bombing

of the USS Cole, for example, was a tightly controlled al-Qaeda operation

that had some local support, drawn from the Islamic Army of Aden,

a radical Islamic group in the Yemen set up by Bin Laden’s brother-inlaw

and funded by Usama. The operation was apparently directed by

Muhammad Atef, an Egyptian who serves as Bin Laden’s Chief of Operations.

It was Atef’s daughter who married one of Bin Laden’s sons

last May, a marriage that also symbolized the merger of the Egyptian

Islamic Jihad into al-Qaeda, and a new name for the inner circle: “Jidad

al-Qaeda.”

The Ahmad Ressam case, was an example of the use of affi liated groups

by al-Qaeda to promote violence against America. This was the “millennium”

plot frustrated when Ressam panicked at the Canadian / US border

while transporting materials for fi ve bombs. Ressam, a member of an Algerian

terrorist faction funded and supported by Bin Laden, was trained

at an al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan and given $12,000 seed money. He

130 APPENDIX

was told to raise the rest of the monies needed through criminal activity

in Canada, organize his cell, and choose targets in America to destroy.

Ressam planned to plant bombs at Los Angeles International Airport, to

kill as many people as possible. At the same time, a more centrally controlled

and sensitive al-Qaeda operation was being implemented in the

port of Aden, against the USS The Sullivans, the sister ship of the Cole.

The explosives laden boat sank in the harbor while being piloted by the

two would-be suicide bombers. They swam back to shore, and went to

ground, certain that their abortive operation would be discovered. It was

not. About 8 months later, the same operation, using more sophisticated

and lighter explosives, was carried out against the Cole. The devastating

results are well known.

How does the al-Qaeda organization fund its worldwide network of

cells and affi liated groups? Several businessmen in Saudi Arabia and in

the Gulf contribute monies. Many of these contributions are given out

of a sense of Islamic solidarity. But much of the money is paid as “protection”

to avoid having the enterprises run by these men attacked. There is

little doubt that a fi nancial conduit to Bin Laden was handled through

the National Commercial Bank, until the Saudi government fi nally arrested

a number of persons and closed down the channel. It was evident

that several wealthy Saudis were funneling contributions to Bin Laden

through this mechanism. Now, it appears, that these wealthy individuals

are siphoning off funds from their worldwide enterprises in creative and

imaginative ways. For example, orders may be given to liquidate a stock

portfolio in New York, and have those funds deposited in a Gulf, African

or Hong Kong bank controlled by a Bin Laden associate. Other channels

exist for the fl ow of monies to Bin Laden, through fi nancial entities in

the UAE and Qatar. Cash, carried to intermediaries, is also a source of

funding. There are some female members of Bin Laden’s own family who

have been sending cash from Saudi Arabia to his “front” accounts in the

Gulf. I will stop my remarks here, and I am prepared to address any questions

you may have.

PREPARED STATEMENT OF OLIVER “BUCK”

REVELL, FORMER ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR

IN CHARGE OF INVESTIGATIVE AND

COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS,

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

Chairman Hyde, I thank you and members of your Committee for the

opportunity to testify during these hearings. Yours is an extremely important

responsibility and I know that you and your colleagues want to

provide the very best support that you can to our President and those

in our Government, military, intelligence, diplomatic and law enforcement

that must face this challenge. I will try and provide you with my

honest and forthright assessment and opinions based upon the forty

years that I have now been involved in this arena.

The terrible events of September 11, 2001 shall ever remain in our

collective memories. I like so many other Americans lost friends in the

attacks. I wish that I could tell you that the attacks could not have been

anticipated and that we are unlikely to face such devastation again. I

cannot. For it is very clear that we have been the targets of a sustained

campaign of terrorism since 1979. The fall of the Shah of Iran and

the establishment of a fundamentalist Islamic State in Iran under the

Ayatollah Khomeini, and the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet

Union in 1979 were the predicates of the tragedy that we suffered on

September 11th. In Iran the Islamic extremists found that they could

take and hold Americans hostage without serious repercussions. Out of

that experience the Iranian backed Hezbollah bombed our Embassies

in Beirut twice and Kuwait once, as well as killing over two hundred

Marines in a suicide truck bombing. The Hezbollah took American’s

hostage and hijacked our airliners and yet we seemed impotent to respond.

Before we even knew of Osama bin Laden, Imad Mugniyah of

the Hezbollah was the leading terrorist against America. He was directly

responsible for the attacks against our personnel and facilities in

132 APPENDIX

Lebanon and yet he and his organization have never been punished for

their crimes against our nation.

This example was not lost on the founders of al Qaida, primarily members

of the Afghan mujahidin from Arab countries. Osama bin Laden

and his associates’ experienced fi rst hand that guerilla warfare and terrorist

tactics could defeat a “Super Power.” He learned from Mugniyah

that America was not likely to fi ght back. Since the attack on the American

Special Forces on a humanitarian mission in Somalia in 1992 bin

Laden and his associates have carried out a steady and increasingly deadly

campaign against America and Americans. The following are but the

publicly known events:

1. Somalia 1992

2. World Trade Center, New York, 1993

3. Planned attacks against multiple targets in New York in July

1993

4. Planned assassination of Pope John Paul in the Philippines

1994 (Americans were in the Pope’s entourage)

5. Planned assassination of President Clinton in the Philippines

1995

6. Planned bombings of 11–13 American Airliners over Pacifi c

Ocean 1995

7. Car bombing of U.S. military mission in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

1995

8. Truck bombing of U.S. Air Force housing area Khubar Towers,

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 1996

9. Truck bombing U.S. Embassy, Kenya 1998

10. Truck bombing U.S. Embassy, Tanzania 1998

11. Plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport, Y2K, New

Year 2000

12. Plot to bomb East Coast target, Y2K, New Year, 2000

13. Plot to attack U.S. Naval Ship in Yemen, January 2000

14. Suicide boat attack on USS Cole, Yemen October 2000

By September 11th we certainly should have known that we were

the principal targets of a terrorist campaign unlike any we had ever faced.

And yet we totally failed to recognize the impending disaster that stalked

APPENDIX 133

our nation. Some of us in the Counter-terrorist business tried to warn of

the danger, but we were generally thought of as alarmists. For the purpose

of lessons learned I am citing the concerns I, among others, expressed

about our lack of preparedness for the struggle we now face as a war.

In a speech to a conference held by the National Institute of Justice

in May of 1999 on “ Terrorism & Technology: Threat and Challenge in

the 21st Century” I pointed out my concerns for our lack of readiness to

deal with the growing threat of terrorism. Some of these remarks are set

forth below.

“ The rather abrupt end to the Cold War was expected to bring about

a substantial improvement in international cooperation, and a concordant

change in the manner in which governments dealt with transnational

issues such as terrorism and organized crime. However, the expected

improvements in overall safety and security of U.S. citizens and interests

have not materialized except at the strategic level. Terrorism remains a

constant and viable threat to American interests on a global basis even

though the sources of the threat may be evolving into heretofore unknown

or undetected elements/organizations.

The threat is changing and increasing due to the following factors:

1. The philosophy, motivation, objectives and modus operandi of

terrorists groups both domestic and international has changed.

2. The new terrorist groups are not concerned with and in many

instances are trying to infl ict mass causalities.

3. Terrorist groups now have ready access to massive databases

concerning the entire United States infrastructure including

key personnel, facilities, and networks.

4. Aided by state sponsors or international organized crime groups,

terrorist can obtain weapons of mass destruction.

5. The Internet now allows even small or regional terrorist groups

to have a worldwide C3I (Command, Control, Communication

and Intelligence) system, and propaganda dissemination

capability.

6. Domestic anti-government reactionary extremists have proliferated,

and now pose a signifi cant threat to the Federal Government

and to law enforcement at all levels. Militia organizations

have targeted the Federal Government for hostile actions, and

134 APPENDIX

could target any element of our society that is deemed to be

their adversary.

7. Islamic extremism has spread to the point where it now has a

global infrastructure, including a substantial network in the

United States.

Terrorism has been a tough political, analytical and operational target

for years. Nonetheless, twenty years ago, analysts could agree on

several “tenets of terrorism.” First, terrorists were viewed as falling into

one of three categories: those that were politically motivated, and used

violence as a means to achieve legitimacy, such as the IRA or PLO, or;

those that used violence as a means of uprising, or fi nally; those that were

state-sponsored whose violence was manipulated by foreign powers to

achieve political leverage. Second, terrorists were generally thought to

calculate thresholds of pain and tolerance, so that their cause was not

irrevocably compromised by their actions.

While U.S. offi cials worried about terrorists “graduating ” to the use

of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear, we believed that most

terrorist groups thought mass casualties were counterproductive. This

was because mass casualties seemed to de-legitimize the terrorists’ cause,

would certainly generate strong governmental responses, and erode terrorist

group cohesion. In essence, we thought a certain logic and morality

line existed beyond which terrorists dared not go. The different types of

terrorist groups had a wide range of motives. The extreme left’s motivation

for violence has been signifi cantly diminished by the disenchantment

with communism on a global scale. These groups fi nd that their

message is out-of-fashion, and they can no longer mobilize the public

to their causes. This loss of motivation is a major reason for the recent

downward trend in international terrorist incidents, as documented in

the State Department’s report, “Patterns in Global Terrorism.” The threat

level of all leftist groups globally, once rated high, is now considered moderate.

Of the twenty-two known groups, three have denounced violence

altogether. Indeed, high collateral casualties are inconsistent with the

fundamental message of leftist terrorists who profess their goal to be the

betterment of the masses.

State-sponsored terror has seen a notable decline in the last several

years for three primary reasons. First, the Middle East peace process has

APPENDIX 135

given previously violent groups and states a motive to refrain from terrorism

in order to gain leverage and bargaining power at the table. Second,

post Cold-War geopolitical realities have brought about many new

agreements and growing cooperation among nations in countering terrorism.

One of the largest sponsors of terrorism in the past — the former

communist East European countries — are now aggressively supporting

counter-terrorism initiatives.

However, several state sponsors remain who continue to fund, motivate,

support, and train terrorists. Iran is by far the most active of these

state sponsors, with the greatest long-term commitment and worldwide

reach. Iraq remains of concern, but has a more limited transnational

capability. However, attacks within Iraq’s own backyard, such as the attempted

assassination of former President George Bush in 1993 during

his Kuwaiti trip, and the assassinations of dissidents in Jordan, are more

likely to threaten the peace and stability of the region. Syria is a more

pragmatic sponsor, by providing supplies in transit, but has refrained

more recently from terrorism in order to enhance its negotiating position

in the peace talks. Its loss of USSR patronage has meant a decline

in fi nancial and logistical support, but it nevertheless allows some rejectionists

to maintain headquarters in Syria. Hezbollah still receives

supplies through the Damascus airport and operates openly in parts of

Syria and Syrian controlled territory. The newest sponsor on the list is

Sudan, which was added in 1993 because of its provision of safe haven

and training for a variety of terrorist groups. Sudan has hosted Osama

Bin Laden’s facilities. Libya, a notorious state sponsor, has also refrained

lately from terrorism in order to obtain some sanctions relief. It continues,

however, to target dissidents, fund extremist Palestinians, and provide

safe haven for Abu Nidal, all while attempting to avoid accountability

for the Pan Am 103 bombing. The recent surrender of the Pan Am 103

suspects came only after crippling sanctions by the United Nations. For

state-sponsored terrorism, the value of deterrence retains credibility, and

America should not relinquish this capability.

Radical Islamic groups are now the most active in terms of the rate

of incidents. Many of these groups are considered separatists, and desire

a seat at the recognition and negotiation table. Others, considered

extreme Islamic zealots, operate as loosely affi liated groups, as in the World

Trade Center and East African bombings. For these groups deterrence has

136 APPENDIX

less effect. And in fact many have stated that they wanted to maximize

casualties to punish the United States, which they have demonized as

the Great Satan.

Ethnic separatist terrorism, as old as mankind, can be temporarily

sidetracked by a few contemporary geopolitical developments, but generally,

it is impervious to such developments because its root-cause is

invariable long-lived. Most of these groups seek world recognition and

endorsement; to date, they have not resorted to the use of weapons of

mass destruction. . . .

The argument has been made that while traditional terrorism — in

terms of motivations — is still a large segment of the terrorist population,

there is a new breed of terrorist for which the old paradigms either

do not apply at all or have limited application. These groups — cults, religious

extremists, anarchists, or serial killers — must be regarded as serious

threats, and perhaps the most serious of the terrorist groups operating

today. These “new ” terrorists are driven by a different set of motivations:

they seek an immediate reward for their act, and their motivations and

objectives may range from rage, revenge, hatred, mass murder, extortion,

or embarrassment, or any combination of these. They may desire mass

casualties, or at least not care about how many people are killed in their

attacks. As such, they do not make traditional calculations of thresholds

of pain or tolerance within a society. These groups tend to be loosely affi

liated both internationally and domestically, and may have no ties at all

to state sponsorship. They change affi liations and identities as needed,

and are extremely diffi cult to detect. Where traditional groups want publicity

to further their cause, many “new” terrorists do not desire attribution;

this is particularly true of the religious extremists, God knows,

and will reward. Religious extremism is growing in numbers, and is not

limited to the Islamic faith. While the “new” terrorist may have a variety

of motivations, some single issue groups, such as, extremists in the animal
