CIA report reveals U.S. knew Saudi-backed charities tied to terrorism in 1996

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/index.jsp?section=today&headline_id=192

The candidate Bush meets with Muslim leaders in Austin, Texas. Abdurahman Alamoudi (right of Bush) heads the sister organization of terror connected IIRO.

A CIA report from 1996, obtained by investigators for the lawyer suing a number of Islamic charities on behalf of victims of the 9/11 attacks, reveals that the U.S. government knew that over one-third of the Islamic charities operating throughout the world were aiding known terrorist groups.

Many of the charities detailed in the report are Saudi-sponsored and official Saudi government charities are implicated in supporting terrorism. These charities include the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) and the Saudi High Commission, the official Saudi government organization for collecting and distributing aid, which the report accuses of ties with Hamas and Algerian extremists.

According to the report “IIRO is affiliated with the Muslim World League, a major international organization financed by the government of Saudi Arabia.” It goes on to say that IIRO is connected to both Osama bin Laden and Ramzi Youseff, the man convicted for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

In March 2001 Operation Green Quest, the interagency task force searching for terrorist financing, raided the U.S-based Success Foundation, which is alleged to be IIRO’s sister organization. Success is headed by Abdurahman Alamoudi, who has publicly supported Hamas and Hezbollah, and has been invited to White House briefings and met with the President (see picture).

"Impeach Bush!" Echoes Through Bush Fundraiser

Vote To Impeach George W. Bush

"Impeach Bush!" Echoes Through Bush Fundraiser; A Message from Ramsey
Clark on Letters to the Editor;
Each One, Reach One Campaign Takes Off
Dear VoteToImpeach Member,
In the last week, the movement to impeach George W. Bush has entered a
new and exciting phase. The call for Bush's impeachment, which we have
begun as a mass grassroots campaign, is increasingly the focus of
commentary in the electronic and print media, on the Internet, and in
swelling street demonstrations that have confronted George W. Bush as he
engages in a whirlwind fundraising tour.
While George W. Bush was handed millions of dollars from his wealthy
constituency at fundraising events this past week, the impeachment
movement made its voice heard in the streets outside. On Friday, June
27, thousands of demonstrators, including anti-war activists and members
of the VoteToImpeach.org campaign, confronted Bush on two separate
occasions, in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The effectiveness of the
demonstrators resonated far beyond Bush's ballrooms and was reported by
media around the world.
"[D]emonstrators shouting for US President George W. Bush's impeachment
gathered outside a hotel here where the president was helping raise $3.6
million for his re-election campaign. The protesters accused Bush of
lying about the presence of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq, a
central justification for the US-British invasion of Iraq in March,"
reads the Daily Telegraph and Melbourne Herald in Australia and many
other news reports around the world.
The demonstrators' calls for impeachment were so loud and spirited that
they could be heard throughout the hotel in Los Angeles while Bush
conducted his $2,000 per plate fund-raiser. At the same time that Bush
told a crowd of south California's elite that "I'm loosening up," the
lobby of the Century Plaza Hotel ballroom was echoing with the chants of
"Stop Bush!" "Bush Lied!" and "Where are the Weapons of Mass
Destruction?" and "Impeach!"

Bush was also confronted by thousands of demonstrators in San Francisco
where he held a fund-raising luncheon on Friday. The Associated Press
reports, "Many protestors called for Bush's impeachment for what they
called his misleading the nation into a war with Iraq."
On June 23, thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the Sheraton
Hotel in midtown Manhattan for another bush fund-raiser. Associated
Press reported that many demonstrators were collecting signatures on the
www.VoteToImpeach.org petitions calling for Bush's impeachment. You can

A Message From Ramsey Clark: Write a Letter to the Editor
To the VoteToImpeach Membership:
One of the few ways the issue of impeachment and faith in the
Constitution can find their way into the corporate controlled media is
through Letters to the Editor. Help the truth set the American people
free and take back the Constitution. Write newspapers and periodicals,
large and small, proclaiming the duty of those who care about truth and
the Constitution to demand the impeachment of President Bush and his
chosen few.
Bush and Co. have lied about weapons of mass destruction and the grave
threat Iraq posed to the United States, have violated the Constitution,
the Nuremberg Charter and Geneva Conventions by waging wars of
aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and threatening other nations,
summarily executing and killing tens of thousands of people while
leading a growing number, now over 200, young American men and women in
the U.S. Armed Forces to death in their criminal war and occupation of
Iraq. They have attacked the civil rights and civil liberties of the
people of the United States in their efforts to tear apart the Bill of
Rights and reverse decades of hard-won social justice accomplishments.
Let's let our friends, neighbors and communities know about the efforts
to impeach George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and John
Ashcroft, and how they can join this campaign.
Sincerely,
Ramsey Clark
