(Two 30-minute segments)

Con­tin­u­ing the analy­sis and dis­cus­sion of the ter­ror­ist blitzkrieg of 9/11/2001, this pro­gram begins with analy­sis of the duplic­i­tous role played by the Saudis in regard to the attacks.  (For more about this sub­ject, see also: FTRs 325–335.)

1. While super­fi­cially pre­tend­ing to oppose Bin Laden and Islamic extrem­ism, the Saudis in prac­tice pro­mul­gate Wah­habism, the ultra-conservative Mus­lim doc­trine char­ac­ter­ized in FTR#329 as “Islam­o­fas­cism.” (“Saudi Ara­bia: The Dou­ble Act Wears Thin;” The Econ­o­mist; 9/29–10/5/2001; pp. 22–23.)

2. One of the Euro­pean bases of Bin Laden’s oper­a­tion appears to be Bosnia Herze­gov­ina.  (“Clas­si­fied Report Warns U.S., Europe of Ter­ror­ists Based in Bosnia” by Craig Pyes, Josh Meyer and William C.

3. Next, the broad­cast excerpts FTR#293, which in turn accesses infor­ma­tion from other FTR pro­grams.  Fur­ther devel­op­ing the analy­sis of Islam­o­fas­cism, the pro­gram high­lights the SS back­ground of Bosn­ian pres­i­dent Alija Izetbe­govic.  (Izetbegovic’s dog­matic Islam­o­fas­cist ide­ol­ogy is detailed in FTR#154. Excerpt­ing FTR#161, the pro­gram high­lights the 13th Waf­fen SS (Han­jar) Divi­sion.  Com­posed of Balkan Mus­lims, the unit wore fezzes with the tra­di­tional Waf­fen SS uni­forms. This divi­sion was assem­bled with the assis­tance of Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the so-called Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. A major in the SS, Al-Husseini was a key Ger­man spy dur­ing World War II, as well as a major oper­a­tive on behalf of what Mr. Emory calls “the Under­ground Reich.” (For more about the Grand Mufti, see also: RFA-22, L-7, FTR #‘s 2, 147, 159, 161, 237, 270.)

4. As a young man, Bosn­ian pres­i­dent Alija Izetbe­govic was a mem­ber of and recruiter for the Han­jar Divi­sion! (From a let­ter to David Binder of The New York Times, writ­ten by Milan Bula­jic, a Ser­bian expert on war crimes com­mit­ted in the Balkans by Axis forces dur­ing World War II. Bula­jic could be thought of as the Ser­bian Simon Weisen­thal. The let­ter quotes ver­ba­tim from the tran­script of Izetbegovic’s trial.) Izetbe­govic did not deny the charges of hav­ing worked for Hus­seini and the Han­jar Divi­sion, but merely excused his actions on the basis of hav­ing been very young at the time. He was sen­tenced to three years in prison.

5. It is impor­tant to note in that con­text that after Izetbe­govic became head of the newly inde­pen­dent state of Bosnia, he estab­lished an elite divi­sion named Han­jar, and pat­terned after the 13^th Waf­fen SS. (Some Call It Peace: Wait­ing for War in the Balkans; by Joseph Bodan­sky; Copy­right 1996 [HC]; The Inter­na­tional Media Cor­po­ra­tion.) The unit func­tioned as the per­sonal guard unit of the Bosn­ian polit­i­cal lead­er­ship and also as a “spe­cial forces” unit that was deployed in sup­port of other mil­i­tary for­ma­tions. (Idem.)

6. Com­posed pri­mar­ily of non-Bosnian Balkans (includ­ing eth­nic Alba­ni­ans), the unit was trained and led by Arab and Pak­istani vet­er­ans of the Afghan con­flict.  (Idem.)

7. In 1993, U.N. observers noted that the re-created Han­jar was engaged in force pro­jec­tion into Kosovo and Mace­do­nia and they fore­cast that con­flict would break out in those areas. (Idem.)  Their pre­dic­tion proved to be accurate.

8. Next, the pro­gram reca­pit­u­lates the “Islam­o­fas­cist” nature of the World Mus­lim Con­gress, a key ele­ment in the anti-Soviet Afghan war of the 1980’s.  (The Beast Reawak­ens; by Mar­tin A. Lee; pp. 225–226.)  (For more detailed dis­cus­sion of the WMC, see the descrip­tions for FTR#‘s 328, 329.)  The Afghan con­flict was the chrysalis from which Osama Bin Laden, Ramzi Youss­eff, and the Pak­istani and Arab com­bat­ants lead­ing Izetbegovic’s “Han­jar II” emerged as war­riors.  The WMC was founded by the Grand Mufti, who recruited the 13^th Waf­fen SS divi­sion of Izetbegovic’s youth, and it was heav­ily financed by the Saudis.  Mr. Emory spec­u­lates that the Islam­o­fas­cist com­bat­ants spawned through the WMC and the Afghan con­flict have been coopted by the “Under­ground Reich” to be used against the United States, Israel and the United Kingdom.

9. The sec­ond side of the pro­gram begins with with Saudi Arabia’s pre­cip­i­tous evac­u­a­tion of promi­nent Saudis in the imme­di­ate after­math of the attacks. (“Wash­ing­ton Con­cerned by Moves of Saudis” by Christo­pher Drew and Judith Miller; New York Times; 9/19/2001; p. B4.)  (As will be seen in FTR#334, these cit­i­zens included mem­bers of the Bin Laden fam­ily before they could be ques­tioned by the FBI.)

10. Inter­est­ingly (and, per­haps, sig­nif­i­cantly), Saudi Ara­bia changed intel­li­gence chiefs last sum­mer.  (“Strains in Saudi-U.S. Rela­tions” by Patrick Tyler [New York Times]; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 9/24/2001; p. A7.)

11. Along with the appoint­ment of Robert Mueller to head the FBI and the “sui­cide” of J.H. Hat­field, the replace­ment of the Saudi intel­li­gence czar might con­sti­tute maneu­ver­ing by the Under­ground Reich in direct antic­i­pa­tion of the attacks of 9/11.  (For more about Mueller’s ascen­sion and Hatfield’s death, see FTR#325. For more about the replace­ment of the Saudi intel­li­gence chief, see FTR#334.)

12. High­light­ing Philip­pine con­nec­tions to the Bin Laden orga­ni­za­tion, the pro­gram sets forth infor­ma­tion about Islamic char­i­ties that are allegedly involved in the fund­ing of Al Quedda.  (“Scrutiny Grows Over Mus­lim Char­i­ties” by David B. Ottoway and Dan Mor­gan [Wash­ing­ton Post]; San Jose Mer­cury News; 9/30/2001; p. 19A.)  One of the orga­ni­za­tions closely asso­ci­ated with these char­i­ties is the Mus­lim World League.  (Idem.)  Mr. Emory asks the help of lis­ten­ers in deter­min­ing if the Mus­lim World League is the same orga­ni­za­tion as the WMC.

13. The same arti­cle also high­lights a for­mer brother-in-law of Osama Bin Laden, who allegedly is involved with Islamic ter­ror in the Philip­pines.  (Idem.)

14. Under­scor­ing evi­den­tiary trib­u­taries between the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 attack on the World Trade Cen­ter, the broad­cast details con­nec­tions between the Philippine-based Abu Sayaf orga­ni­za­tion (allegedly allied with Bin Laden) and Ramzi Youss­eff, the mas­ter­mind of the first attack on the WTC.  (“Philip­pines Offers U.S. Its Troops and Bases” by Mark Landler; New York Times; 9/3/2001; p. A5.)

15. Sheikh Omar Abdel Rah­man (another U.S. sup­ported vet­eran of the Afghan war against the Sovi­ets) was con­victe of par­tic­i­pa­tion in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center.

16. One of his sons is allegedly involved with the Bin Laden orga­ni­za­tion.  (“U.S. Reveals Iden­tity of Ter­ror Attack Plan­ner” by Dan Eggen and Serge F. Kovaleski [Wash­ing­ton Post]; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 10/7/2001; p. A5.)

17. Next, the pro­gram excerpts FTR#92.  Intrigu­ingly, a wit­ness (excluded by Judge Matsch from the trial of Tim­o­thy McVeigh) allegedly con­nected McVeigh’s co-conspirator Terry Nichols with the afore-mentioned Ramzi Youss­eff. (“Rest of Bomb­ing Story a Mys­tery” by Lou Kilzer and Kevin Flynn; Rocky Moun­tain News; 6/3/97; accessed at www.insidedenver.com.)

18. Mr. Emory believes that the Under­ground Reich authored the Okla­homa City bomb­ing, the 1993 WTC attack and the attacks of 9/11. FTR#328 details con­nec­tions between the 9/11 attacks and the AMIA bomb­ing in Argentina.  (For more about the AMIA bomb­ing, see FTR#‘s 5, 109.  It should be noted that the AMIA cen­ter was a repos­i­tory for infor­ma­tion about Nazi war crim­i­nals.)  In yet another excerpt from a pre­vi­ous broad­cast, FTR#330 excerpts FTR#88.

19. The pro­gram high­lights an alleged link between the Okla­homa City bomb­ing and the AMIA bomb­ing. An inves­ti­ga­tion by the FBI found some of the par­tic­i­pants in the bombing–Argentine  secu­rity ser­vice per­son­nel– belonged to the Amer­i­can white suprema­cist Tom Metzger’s White Aryan resis­tance. McVeigh also [allegedly] belonged to this group. (“AMIA Bomb Plot­ters’ Con­nec­tion;” La Nacion; 7/27/97.)

20. Many inves­ti­ga­tors have alleged that WAR mem­ber Den­nis Mahon was involved with the Okla­homa City bomb­ing.  (“White Suprema­cist Takes Fifth in Okla­homa Bomb Plot“[AP]; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 7/17/97.)  (For more about the Okla­homa City bomb­ing, see also: FTR#‘s 9, 10, 11, 12, 27, 60, 88, 92, 97, 235.)

21. The broad­cast sup­ple­ments dis­cus­sion from FTR#327 con­cern­ing appar­ent stock-market manip­u­la­tion  in con­nec­tion with the 9/11 attacks.  (“Sus­pi­cious Prof­its Sit Uncol­lected” by Chris­t­ian Berthelsen and Scott Winokur; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 9/29/2001; p. A1.)

22. The pro­gram also raises the ques­tion of pos­si­ble Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion own­er­ship of the World Trade Cen­ter.  (Mar­tin Bor­mann: Nazi in Exile; by Paul Man­ning; Lyle Stu­art; Copy­right Paul Man­ning [1981]; ISBN 0–8184-0309–8; p. 279.)  (For more about the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion, see: FTR #‘s 87, 90, 99, 102, 120, 122, 123, 125, 127, 134, 145, 152, 155, 158, 177, 179, 180, 187, 189, 193, 194, 195, 200, 215, 216, 218, 219, 224, 226, 232, 233, 234, 235, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 245, 248, 250, 251, 261, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 278, 283, 286, 292, 293, 294, 298, 299, 300, 302, 303, 305, 309, 314.)

23. Sup­ple­ment­ing infor­ma­tion from FTR#326, the pro­gram con­cludes with dis­cus­sion of the Ger­man con­nec­tions to the 9/11 attacks.  (“Ter­ror Plot Secrets Emerge” by Dan Eggen and Bob Wood­ward [Wash­ing­ton Post]; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 9/29/2001; p. A1.)
