TAMPA'S MUSLIM MAFIA, MONEY
LAUNDERING AND CHILD SEX CRIMES











Money laundering plan targets bulk cash, trade-
based cars shipped to Dubai from Tampa Muslim
Mafia.
 
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Federal agencies
announced a new anti-money laundering strategy that
boosts emphasis on combating bulk cash smuggling and
trade-based activities as traditional bank transfer
avenues are shut down.  

The Treasury also will investigate how free-trade zones,
in which customs duties are often eliminated, reduced or
deferred, affect illicit imports and exports (USED CARS).  
"As it gets more difficult to move money illicitly in
the formal (banking) system, people are moving to other
methods, like trade-
based money laundering," said Pat O'Brien, the Treasury's
assistant
secretary for terrorist financing.  "In trade-based money
laundering, cash is
converted to goods which are then moved across borders
and sold in
seemingly legitimate transactions, but often with
artificially inflated or
deflated invoice prices"












HOW THE USED CAR SCAM WORKS IN TRADE BASED
TAMPA MONEY
LAUNDERING, THOUSANDS OF COUNTERFEIT CD'S, DVD'S
AND
MICROSOFT VISTA  PROGRAMS ARE SHIPPED FROM EGYPT
TO THE
PORT OF TAMPA EVERY MONTH. The merchandise is
picked up by a local
truck driver and then delivered to a variety of Muslim
grocery stores in the
greater Tampa area where it is retailed at full price
resulting in huge profits,
Sami al-Arian had set up this network.  In February 2007
alone, over 150
shipments of the counterfeit merchandise (microsoft vista
programs) were received at the Port of Tampa resulting in
over $1,000,000
in sales.

Such shipments of counterfeit merchandise result in very
high profits that
can be used to support terrorism. Take the supposed
$1,000,000.00 in sales
form the counterfeit CD's and Microsoft Vista programs,
an expected cost
of goods should be around $300,000.00, with a profit of
$700,000.00 so how
do you launder the $700,000.00 and keep the ball rolling
with continued
shipments ?

You can not show this much profit in the Muslim grocery
stores, off the
register, you can not put this money in a bank and you
can not wire transfer
such large amounts without calling attention to yourself
from the FBI, so
what do you do ?  You buy cars with multiple associates
in the used car
business in the Tampa from the auto auctions with your
$700,000.00, deliver
the vehicles to a central warehouse storage lot near the
port of Tampa and
ship the vehicles to Dubai in containers for resale.  Dubai
is the largest used
car connection in the world with a whole industry
dedicated to changing
the identities of cars, those vehicles you purchased at
the auto Auction with
the $700,000.00 can be resold at up to 4 times the retail
value in Dubai









Recent arrests in Tampa Fl, indicate continued money
laundering schemes with dealing in stolen property, bad
checks and felony
child abuse (sex crimes).  Salim Suleiman & grocery store
owner "Tony"
Khaldoun Khawaja arrested for dealing in stolen property
(again), bad
checks, money laundering and felony child abuse
(Suleiman) in Tampa on
Jan 3rd 2008.  Tampa's Muslim Mafia linked to funding
terrorism.

Besides the ongoing money laundering arrests and
convictions of at least 5
Tampa grocery store owners ( Saad Saad, Samer Saleh
and Hasan Qasem)
since March of 2007, there appears to be a much more
sinister and
disturbing pattern of felony child abuse by middle aged
Muslim men
seeking to procure under age (12) female and male
children for sex.  It is
time this whole network is shut down for good in 2008 !

Salim Suleiman age 45, 5'5' and 335 lbs., arrested, again,
for dealing in
stolen property 6 charges and a new charge of felony
child abuse, Jan
3rd 2008, he is the manager of "Tony's convenience
store" 1900 N.
Rome Ave Tampa Fl.  Suleiman was arrested in 2005 with
Adil Hader and
"Tony" Khaldoun K. Khawaja in "Operation Up In Smoke"
dealing in stolen
property with possible support of terrorism.

"Tony" Khaldoun K. Khawaja was also arrested on Jan 3rd
2008 with
Salim Suleiman, 18 charges, dealing in stolen property
and bad checks, see
Hillsborough County Sheriff arrest report , he owns
"Tony's convenience
store" 1900 N. Rome Ave Tampa Fl.   "Tony" Khaldoun K.
Khawaja was also
arrested in 2005 Adil Hader and Salim Yousef Suleiman in
"Operation Up In
Smoke"

Adil Hader, age 61,  5'7" and 225 lbs., was arrested in
2005 with Salim
Yousef Suleiman and "Tony" Khaldoun K. Khawaja in
"Operation Up In
Smoke" dealing in stolen property. Hader was attempting
to (or did) molest
young girls and boys, he got 3 years of felony probation
on the attempted
child abuse charges.  Contacts with Hader also led to the
revelation that
Hader was allegedly interested in procuring young
children for the purpose
of engaging in sexual activity with them. On at least four
occasions,
sometimes in graphic detail, Hader told undercover
officers that he was
interested in sex with young girls and boys and that he
would be willing to
pay for the arranged meetings.  Hader is currently on
State of Florida felony
probation, and on the loose in Tampa Fl.  Hader is not
listed on the State of
Florida Sexual Offenders website.

"Tony" Khaldoun K. Khawaja runs Tony's Convenience
Store DBA Blue
Sav-Mor market with a mailing address of 1900 N. Rome
Ave Tampa Fl and
Kawaja Stores Inc DBA Main Street Grocery 2111 W. Main
St Tampa Fl.

In February 2004, the Tampa Bay RDSTF received
information from the
Jacksonville RDSTF that a Tampa resident, Adil Abdel
Hader, 58, was
allegedly involved in an organized criminal enterprise that
purchased stolen
cigarettes derived from "smash and grab" burglaries
throughout Central
Florida.   According to Lance Newman, Florida Department
of Law
Enforcement special agent in charge and, Hillsborough
County Sheriff
David Gee, RDSTF co-chairs, intelligence collected by law
enforcement
agencies throughout the United States indicated that the
proceeds from the
sale of stolen property, particularly cigarettes and baby
formula in
convenience stores, have allegedly been forwarded to
foreign groups
associated with funding terrorist organizations."

Tampa Grocery Stores linked to Money Laundering,
worthless checks,
dealing in stolen property and check fraud are; Main
Street Grocery, Tony's
Convenience Store, Britt's Grocery & Deli,  SNAX Food
Stores (Saad Saad),
Sav-Mor Market, and Diamond Super Market owned by the
Saleh's.

Saad Saad, Tampa baby food scamer,
has Al-Arian tie in 8/03, is arrested
again on Federal money laundering
charges in 11/06, secret Sealed Federal
Indictment opened in October 2007.






Deputies say the owner of several stores
that
sold stolen baby formula rents one location
from the jailed ex-USF professor Sami al-
Arian

In 2003, Saad Saad was convicted of 15
felonies including a RICO charge for the
selling
of stolen baby formula at "Mikes Food
Store"
where Sami al-Arian owned the property.  
The
stolen infant formual scam is part of a
nationwide Muslim scam that dupes the
Federaly Funded WIC program for huge
profits
that in turn are wired to the Middle East to
support terrorism.     

Saad Saad had been on probation since Jan
2004, in March of 2006 he is nailed again
for
dealing in stolen property 5 counts.   

Now fast forward to Nov. 2006 and Saad
Saad
is arrested once again, this time by the US
Marshals for Money Laundering.  Saad
Saad was
booked into the Hillsborough County Jail on
Nov. 1st 2006, but then released to Federal
custody on Nov. 6th 2006 and has since
disappeared in to the Federal Jail system
with
no bond.






In October 2007 a secret Sealed Federal
Indictment was opened on Saad Saad,
Samer
Saleh and Marlon Mejia.  It appears that the
trio were into narcotic sales and were
sending
the profits, more than $100,000 in a twelve
month period via monay orders purchased
at
Sadd Saad's SNAX Food Stores in Tampa, to
London, Saleh ran Diamond supermarket
Tampa.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Tampa Fl,
vehicles shipped to the Middle East and
into Iraq from Tampa used car dealers.  















Following is some further information
concerning the
used car dealers in Tampa that appear to
link to the
financial support of terrorism.

PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC JIHAD (PIJ)
Muslim terrorist group with ties to al Qaeda
Also known as Islamic Jihad
Supported Saddam Hussein in 2003 Iraq
war against U.S.

Shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in
2003, PIJ
announced that it was backing Saddam
Hussein -- in
reciprocity for Saddam's support for
Palestinian terrorists
in Israel (he had given more than $35
million in cash
awards to the families of suicide bombers
who had
attacked Israeli targets -- mostly
civilians).  PIJ showed
Saddam its appreciation by staging a
March 30, 2003
suicide bombing at a crowded pedestrian
mall in the
Israeli costal town of Netanya, and
proclaiming the act "a
gift to the heroic people of Iraq."

In 2003 Palestinian Islamic Jihad
announced that it was
sending suicide bombers to Iraq to help
fight what it
called the "American invasion" there.  
According to Nafez
Azzam, the PIJ leader in Gaza and the West
Bank, "The
Islamic Jihad movement is interested in
intensifying
attacks in this phase to make it clear to
Arabs, Muslims,
and the whole world that what is going on
here in
Palestine is the same as what is happening
in Iraq."

A notable PIJ member was Sami Al-Arian,
who headed the
organization's North American operations
while he
worked as a professor at the University of
South Florida
in Tampa Fl.

FBI officials said they believe a nationwide
database
could help break up far-flung terrorist
networks, which
are using vehicles stolen and smuggled
from the United
States.  Bought and sold on the
international black
market, cars and trucks help fund criminal
operations and
can be turned into the terrorist weapon of
choice against
US troops and Iraqi civilians: vehicles
packed with
explosives.
The FBI declined to estimate how many
stolen US cars
have turned up as car bombs in Iraq but
said the number
is believed to be at least in the dozens

VBIED NETWORK IN IRAQ






General: U.S. captures car bomb
ringleaders

The Rusafa group's financing, movement of
vehicles and
transport of explosives all had trademarks
of being part
of the al-Qaeda network, Caldwell said,
without providing
further details.

Caldwell cautioned that car bomb rings
such as the
Rusafa operation often regroup quickly and
launch more
attacks.

"It doesn't mean we have completely
stopped them,"
Caldwell said. "These organizations will
regenerate
themselves. But each time they do, they
should be less
effective, less capable."

It is difficult to break up an entire network
at once, said
Toby Dodge, an Iraqi expert with the
London-based
International Institute for Strategic
Studies.

Car bomb rings are often a collaboration
between Islamic
radicals and specially trained former
members of Saddam
Hussein's government, he said.

Units are assigned different tasks, such as
smuggling
jihadists into Iraq, building bombs or
choosing targets,
Dodge said. "It's a fluid, multifaceted
operation," he said.
"The way these networks were created,
you could hit one
aspect of it but it's so flexible, it's hard to
get the whole
thing at once."

However, the arrests may show that U.S.
forces are
making progress in information gathering,
said Andrew
Krepinevich, an analyst at the Washington-
based Center
for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.

"This is significant to the extent that it
indicates our
intelligence about the enemy is improving.
This war is
driven by intelligence, not firepower,"
Krepinevich said.

MI5: Al-Qa'eda recruiting UK
children for terror


By Philip Johnston, Home Affairs Editor
November 6th 2007









Muslim children as young as 15 are being
recruited by al-
Qa’eda to wage "a deliberate campaign of
terror" in
Britain, the head of MI5 has said. Jonathan
Evans, the
new head of MI5, used his first public
speech yesterday to
reinforce a warning issued last year by his
predecessor,
Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller.

They both painted an alarming picture of
youngsters still
at school being radicalised by al-Qa'eda
recruiters.

There are at least three other British
Muslims aged 16 or
17 in custody awaiting trial for alleged
terrorist-related
offences. They are not necessarily being
recruited to
carry out attacks but rather to help fund or
facilitate
them.

The following story was written by John
Loftus
in Jan of 2007, John Loftus and Bill Warner
presented this information at the Secular
Islam
Summit /Intelligence Summit in St.
Petersburg
Fl on Wednesday March 3rd 2007, the
London
Telegraph and other British Newspapers
are today,
11/06/07, confirming the use and
recruitment of teenagers
by al-Qaeda.

Keynote Speech: John Loftus and Bill
Warner The
Terrorists Among Us: Al Qaeda's Car Bomb
Ring in
America

"Bill Warner believes that AL Qaeda is
recruiting an
international network of teenage car
thieves who have
escaped international notice because their
criminal
records have been sealed as juveniles"   As
these
invisible criminals become adults, they
switch from
stealing cars to making bombs. The worst
form of child
abuse is teaching a child to hate.  In
general terms, the
children Al Qaeda seeks are native born in
the USA,
Canada, or the United Kingdom. Their
parents typically
fled Pakistan in order to find freedom in
the west. The
parents are largely secular, extremely pro
western and
only nominally Muslim. Al Qaeda’s child
recruits are all
males, usually recruited around age 14-15.
They are
bright kids, usually science or math
majors, often
denounced by their peers as nerds or
geeks.

The Cars of AL Qaeda: March 3rd 2007
How a Private Detective in Florida (Bill
Warner)
discovered a new global terrorist
connection Written by
Atty. John Loftus, www.john-loftus.com,
research by Bill
Warner WBI Inc Terrorism Research Ctr.
www.wbipi.com,
international analysis by www.
IntelligenceSummit.org

Introduction
What if Al Qaeda has found a new method
to launder
money around the world?  In his July5,
2005 testimony
before the Senate Banking Committee,
terrorism expert
Steven Emerson made a chilling prophecy.
He said that he
would not be surprised someday to find an
international
network of stolen car rings raising money
for terrorism,
and shipping cars to the Middle East to be
made into car
bombs.

Emerson did not know that Bill Warner, a
Florida Private
Investigator had been secretly working on
this issue
since 2002. Warner has uncovered
documentary evidence
that stolen cars from Florida were being
shipped to Al
Qaeda front companies in Dubai, U.A.E.,
Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia, and Aqqaba, Jordan. Furthermore,
Warner claims
that he has provided Federal agencies with
a "smoking
gun" document; a copy of the bill of lading
from a Tampa
used car lot shipping a vehicle directly to
what appears
to be an Al Qaeda front company in Saudi
Arabia.

Even more embarrassing to the FBI, Warner
showed the
federal agents that the suspected used car
lots in Florida
all had a common link: these used car lots
were either
owned by convicted terrorist Sami Al Arian
or run by one
of his associates.  Warner’s evidence has
been analyzed
by an organization of active and retired
police, military
and intelligence professionals, www.
IntelligenceSummit.
org. Their conclusion is that Warner has
indeed
uncovered the tip of an international car
smuggling ring
that finances terrorism worldwide.

At first, authorities were incredulous that a
terrorist
financing network so large could have
escaped their
attention. Partly as a result of Warner’s
ground breaking
discoveries, arrests of Muslim car dealers
connected to
money laundering for terrorism have now
been made in at
least twenty five cities around the world,
including Salt
Lake City Utah, Anaheim CA, Chicago IL,
Buffalo NY,
Houston TX, St. Louis MO, Toledo OH,
Tampa FL, Sarasota
Fl, Los Angeles CA, Tustin CA, Arlington
VA, Miramar FL,
Madrid Spain, Jeddah SA, Medina SA,
Jubail SA, Hamburg
GR, Niggiat Japan, Dubai UAE, Tangier
Morocco, London
UK, Amman Jordan, Toronto CA, Ash
Shuwaykh Kuwait,
and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Even the skeptics are turning around, and,
instead of
crediting a private citizen, have intimated
that the car
connection was one of their own
discoveries as part of
good police work in the global war against
terrorism:

Inspector John E. Lewis, deputy assistant
director of the
FBI for counter terrorism said the origins
of the vehicles
in question were unearthed by tracing the
vehicle
identification numbers, or VINs.  Some of
the automobiles
can be easily identified, specialists said,
while others
have had their VINs ground down or have
been fitted with
fake ones.  Investigators believe the cars
were stolen by
local car thieves in US cities, then
smuggled to waiting
ships at ports…"Black Cars"

According to law enforcement
surveillance, each car lot
could ship an average of five used cars a
month to the
Middle East, where they have been resold
for $30,000 to
$45,000 (with some luxury cars selling as
high as
$75,000). That could earn as much as a
quarter of a
million dollars per month, or three million
per year per car
lot. Just from the few dozen car lots that
are know to law
enforcement, terrorist groups have the
potential to raise
close to one hundred million dollars per
year.

Al Qaeda’s car smuggling system has been
in operation
for more than a decade. Conservatively,
more than a
billion dollars from the car connection has
gone to the
cause of global terrorism in the last ten
years.

Next to narcotics, the used car connection
is possibly the
largest source of terrorist funding in the
world. Dr. Rachel
Ehrenfeldt, author of "Funding Evil" and
one of the world’s
pre-eminent experts in terrorist money
laundering, knows
that groups like Al Qaeda have changed
their tactics form
year to year. The list of stolen commodities
includes
honey, counterfeit pharmaceutical drugs,
CD and DVD
music disks, pirated copies of films, phony
designer
garments and handbags, baby formula
supplements,
"blood diamonds" and on and on.

The Car Bomb Connection;
Al Qaeda did not invent the stolen car
smuggling system;
they copied it from the Soviet Union.

Saleh Al Oufi was a loyal follower, and in
1994 quickly
established a used car dealership in
Medina, Saudi Arabia,
as his commercial cover for Al-Qaeda.

Al Oufi and his clan were familiar with
covert operations
and were no strangers to terrorism. One of
Al Oufi’s
cousins, Moqed Al-Oufi, was one of the 9/11
hijackers on
the plans that hit the Pentagon. AL Oufi’s
business
partner in the innocent sounding "Holy
Water" export
company was Ramzi Yousef, a major
terrorist planner in
his own right. Saleh Al Oufi knew that his
partner Ramzi
had planned the first twin trade towers
attack in 1993,
and then came up with the "Bojinka plot"
to blow up
dozens of US aircraft over the ocean. Al
Oufi knew that
Ramzi came by his terrorist talents
naturally: Ramzi’s
uncle was Khalid Sheik Mohammed, chief
architect of the
9/11 attacks.

For a humble used car dealer, Saleh Al Oufi
had an
unusually high percentage of terrorist
friends and
relatives. Family members have publicly
confirmed
reports that Al Oufi was close to Usama
Bin Laden, and
had met with bin Laden and Taliban leader
Mullah Omar
shortly before the 9/11 attacks.  Al Oufi
told his family
that he had met the two Al Qaeda leaders
both in August
and September of 2001, and Al Oufi himself
went back to
Afghanistan following the US led attack.

In 1994-1995, Saleh Al Oufi used his
commercial cover as
a used car dealer to travel across Europe.  
Saudi
government sources acknowledged that
they could not
rule out the possibility that AL Oufi could
have used the
trips to establish links to terrorist cells in
Germany and
that AL Oufi’s used car business was a
perfect cover for
money laundering. One of his used car
stops was
Hamburg, Germany, where a young man
named
Mohammed Atta later found employment
selling used cars
in the open air car market on Feld Street.

While it has been confirmed that Al Oufi’s
cousin Moqed
participated with Atta on the 9/11 attacks,
it is not known
if Al Oufi the car dealer ever met with Atta
the car
salesman during Al Oufi’s trips to the
Hamburg car
markets.

In 2003, Bill Warner, a private investigator
from Florida,
began retracing Saleh al Oufi’s footsteps.
That is not
exactly what happened, but the exact
method is
confidential. The terrorist tracing
technique that Warner
invented was so unique that one federal
agency has
asked us not to disclose it.  Another
agency told us that
when they ran Warner’s list of suspected
terrorist cells
through a Defense Department database,
the computer
name matches "lit up like a Christmas
tree."

Warner’s research was quietly supported
and
corroborated by a network of retired and
active
intelligence officers, who volunteered their
time to form
the international Intelligence Summit, a
non-profit
organization. Its purpose was to form a
private-public
partnership to fight the global war against
terror. When a
bureaucratic roadblock was hit inside the
government,
the Summit served as a back channel to go
around it, and
get the job done in the private sector.

The debate about Warner’s stolen car
theory first became
an international controversy in November
2005, at the
prestigious Wilton Park conference, in
Sussex, England.

In short, Warner alleged that Muslim car
dealers around
the world were exporting stolen vehicles
to support
Jihad. The older cars were usually shipped
to Saudi
Arabia or Jordan to be driven to Iraq and
made into car
bombs. Newer models were sold for cash in
Dubai and the
proceeds were wired to Karachi, Pakistan
and given to Al
Qaeda.

When Al Qaeda wanted to support a
terrorist operation in
a foreign country, they simply opened a
used car
dealership and shipped them cars stolen
from another
country to sell.

Warner’s thesis was simple: "the cars are
the cash."

Four used car in Tampa one other thing in
common: they
all had a connection to convicted terrorist
Sami Al Arian.
Patient surveillance revealed a network of
used car lots
from Tampa to Sarasota.

Al Arian owned the land used by one car
dealer; let’s call
that lot one.  One of the owners of Lot 2
was a board
member of Al Arian’s Islamic Academy. The
Academy
claims it has severed all ties with Sami Al
Arian, but in
fact it uses the same lot, same buildings,
same books.
Only the address seems to have changed
from the front
street to the side street.

It should be noted that four of the schools
previous
directors have been charged with
terrorism. and Most
Wanted Terrorist Ramadan Abdullah
Shallah was also
connected to the school.

Lot three was run by one of Al Arian’s
Sarasota business
associates. This, like the others, may be
innocent, but
three of Lot three’s dealers have been
arrested for using
check fraud to steal cars.

Later, another car lot in Clearwater was
discovered.  The
car dealer was on a suspect list of persons
with ties to
Sami Al Arian’s Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

On just one day in October 2004, one of Al
Arian’s used
car dealers made just one little mistake.
They left four
dock receipts on the dashboard of four
cars about to be
shipped overseas; a Chevy SUV, a Ford and
two Mercedes.
Warner photographed the Dock Receipt in
one of the
Mercedes.

The dock receipt laid out the details of the
shipping
connections. The document confirmed that
this ten-year-
old Mercedes was about to be shipped to
the Middle East.

This car does not appear to have been
stolen, but
purchased at auction. Not that it would
really make much
of a difference if this particular car had
been stolen
because there is no way to trace it.

Warner points out that two years after the
Mercedes was
shipped to Saudi Arabia, Florida’s bizarre
computer
system continues to show that the car is
still registered
to a Financial Car Dealer in West Palm
Beach.

Warner says, "This is the used car dealer
racket, the
dealer is never shown as the registered
owner of the car.
There is nothing for an intelligence agency
to trace. It
happens all the time. "

Except that this time, Warner
photographed the dock
receipt. It showed that the old Mercedes
was to be taken
by truck transport to the Jax-Port in
Jacksonville, and
then by rail to Savannah, Georgia.

Why ship an old car all the way to Georgia
to be placed on
a ship, when the Port of Tampa has such a
fine export
facility? "So does Miami," Warner
explained. Either port
was a lot closer than Savannah. "Of
course, the Tampa
shipping lines might ask for extra
documentation because
the ships have to pass right under the nose
of the Central
Command Headquarters at McDill Air Force
Base, and the
Miami port is the only one in the country
that bothers to x-
ray the export containers to see if there
are undeclared
cars inside."

For a ring of cautious car thieves,
Savannah is the next,
best place to go. Once there, the cars can
be placed on a
container ship out to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
On the
Mercedes dock receipt, the typed-in
destination of
"Dubai" had been crossed out, and the
word "Jeddah"
written in.

Chevy and Ford SUV’s may have been the
vehicle of
choice for transporting terrorists, but
when it came to car
bombs, AL Qaeda had a clear favorite, also
American
made: GMC Suburbans. These vehicles
were strong
enough to be packed with a heavy load of
explosives
without flattening the springs end giving
away the threat
to an American sentry.

According to Interpol, an SUV can carry
4000 pounds of
explosives, vs. 1000 pounds for a luxury
car, vs. 500
pounds for a Japanese compact. The
American made SUV’
s had more kill capacity.

Moreover, the SUV’s looked like the typical
kind of cars
that American contractors drove, so there
was a built in
cover as the car bombers snuck up on the
American
soldiers guarding the checkpoints. The
Iraqi Baathists kill
with IED’s buried in the street that blow
upwards, the
"foreigners" of Al Qaeda prefer car bombs
because they
blow sideways and cause more damage in
a crowd. Al
Qaeda does not care about Iraqis; Al Qaeda’
s mission is to
start a civil war. As AL Zarqawi put it in a
letter to Osama
Bin Laden: if we allow these elections to
succeed, we
shall have to leave Iraq and find another
country. Saudi
Arabia was no longer home.

In the meantime, the cars keep loading
onto the roll on-
roll off ships, and the car bombs keep
killing the innocent.

BAND OF WARNER BROTHERS AT D-DAY
INVASION OF NORMANDY JUNE 6TH 1944

Last of city's WWII 'band of brothers' dies
3 of 4 Warners were involved in D-Day
invasion
Monday February 26, 2007-STORY DATE

















From left to right, James Warner, Robert
Warner, Harry Warner
and William Warner.  

By William Moyer
Press & Sun-Bulletin
Binghamton NY

James, Robert, Harry and William
Warner were literally a military "band of
brothers."

The four sons of Harry J. and Katherine
Warner grew up at 93
Schubert St. on Binghamton's West Side.
After graduation from
high school, all the brothers enlisted in the
armed services and
served in World War II; three were involved
in the Allied invasion
of Normandy in 1944.

Like so many World War II veterans,
though, members of the
local "band of brothers" have all gone to
graveyards, every one.

U.S. Coast Guard veteran William Warner,
who was the youngest
and last surviving of the male siblings, died
Feb. 18 at his home
in Dearborn, Mich., a family member said.
He graduated from
Binghamton Central High School in 1943
and was a retired
executive with the Ford Motor Co.

William, 82, was one of two Warner
brothers who settled
elsewhere after World War II. Harry, also a
Central High graduate
who died 11 months ago, moved to Dallas
after he got married.
James, the oldest brother, who died in
1991, and Robert came
home to Binghamton after the war. At one
time, James worked
for Koehler Manufacturing Co., and Robert,
who died in 1995, was
a U.S. Postal Service employee.

As each Warner brother died through the
years -- added to the
deaths of all World War II veterans who are
buried at a rate of
1,500 a day -- the curtain continued to drop
on an entire
generation that changed culture and
society after America's
defining war.

"Their legacy is dying with them," said
Brian Vojtisek, who is
Broome County's director of Veterans
Services. "Their stories
are dwindling down to footnotes in history."

In its most recent report in late 2006, the
U.S. Census reported 3.9
million living World War II veterans, out of
16 million who served
between Dec. 1, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946.
The average age of
living World War II vets is 83. In 13 years,
the number of living
World War II vets is expected to drop to
283,000.

A SILENT GENERATION

Despite their honorable service records,
the Warner brothers
carried their combat experiences to their
graves, said Robert's
son, Bill Warner,(private investigator) 59,
of Sarasota, Fla.

"Not one of them ever told me anything
about it," said Bill Warner
(Sarasota private investigator), who
graduated from Binghamton
North High School in 1964. "Not a word.
Forget about it; it was
something they had to do. They did it; that
was it."

That's not unusual for combat veterans,
said Vojtisek, especially
the World War II generation,

"You don't hear specific stories about how
horrific their
experiences were. It's locked in the back
of their minds," he said.
"For that generation, that was how many of
them dealt with it."

The first time Bill Warner watched the
movie "Saving Private
Ryan," he understood why it was difficult
for his father and
uncles to talk about their wartime
experiences.

"When I saw the movie, I was stunned. I
just never knew what it
was all about or what they had to deal with
or exactly how
horrible it was," said Warner, who worked
for Warehouse Carpet
before moving to Sarasota in 1988. "I wish
they would have
talked about it."

The movie, directed by Steven Spielberg,
chronicled an Army
rescue mission to find paratrooper Pvt.
James Ryan and send
him home after three of his brothers were
killed in combat. Unlike
the fictional Mrs. Ryan in the movie,
Katherine Warner did not
lose any sons in combat.

Katherine, a housewife, kept four gold
stars in the front window
of the family's Schubert Street home to
wait for her sons' return.
She and her husband, Harry, who worked
for Endicott Johnson
Shoe Corp., also had a daughter, Mary Ann
Warner, who was a
registered nurse. Harry died in the mid-
1960s; Katherine lived in
the Schubert Street house until the mid-
1970s when she moved
to a nursing home.

AT WAR AND HOME

Robert, William and Harry Warner were
involved in the D-Day
invasion of Normandy. James probably
arrived in the war zone
sometime after the initial assault.

From air and sea, Allied troops invaded
Normandy's beaches on
June 6, 1944, with 5,300 ships, nearly
11,000 airplanes, about
50,000 military vehicles and 154,000
troops.

The strategy was to establish five
beachheads as gateways into
the German-occupied territory. The assault
eventually opened
Western Europe to Allied forces and turned
the tide against Adolf
Hitler.

* Army Pvt. Robert Warner, who was in his
early 20s at the time,
landed in Normandy with the 507th
Parachute Infantry. He had
enlisted in April 1942 after graduation from
the former St. Patrick
Academy High School in Binghamton. A
newspaper story
reported him as getting injured in combat,
although his injuries
were not life-threatening.

Bill Warner remembered his father as a
sports fan. "He was very
sports-minded, a big Yankees fan, a big-
time golfer," he said.
"When he was older, he was still shooting
in the low 80s."

* During the invasion, Seaman William
Warner was stationed on a
Coast Guard cutter in the English Channel.
The cutter and crew
helped rescue Allied troops during the
critical days of the
invasion, according to a newspaper story
in August 1944. William
was in his late teens at the time. After the
war, he graduated from
Binghamton University in 1951. He had
attended Binghamton
Central at the same time as science fiction
writer Rod Serling.

"He was very outgoing; everybody knew
him, very friendly
person," recalled Bill Warner about his
namesake uncle.

* Like his brother Robert, Harry Warner
was also in his early 20s
at the time of Normandy. Harry was a petty
officer aboard a Navy
destroyer that guarded Allied vessels from
Nazi U-boats. After
the war, he returned to Binghamton and
married Elizabeth Ann
Brink in November 1956. The wedding drew
a lot of newspaper
attention -- even a pre-nuptial story about
the attendants and the
color scheme. The bride was the daughter
of Broome County
Judge Robert O. Brink. The couple moved
to Dallas where Harry
became an executive with the Equitable
Life Insurance Co.

Bill Warner said his uncle Harry was "very
intelligent, very
outgoing."

* Army Lt. James Warner was the first of
the brothers to enlist. He
began active duty on April 23, 1941, and
served in England for 14
months with the Army Medical Corps.
James, who was in his late
20s at the time of the D-Day invasion,
probably arrived in the war
zone after the initial assault. While he lived
in the Binghamton
area after the war, James once headed the
Chamber of
Commerce's Business-Industry-Education
program that
connected high school students with local
business and
corporate leaders for a real-world learning
experience.

"They are all gone now," Bill Warner said.
"An era has ended."

From Shiite Used Car Dealers In
Tampa, Florida To Iraq Via Dubai:
Cars To Fund Terrorism
Story by Bill Warner wbipi terrorism
research ctr.














"A vital financial asset of the Muhammad
Sadiq al-
Sadr (Shiite) Mahdi army in Basra Port Iraq
is
smuggled cars (from Dubai) purchased
from the
profits of stolen oil see The Guardian
11/17/07 and
Al-Sharq al-Awsat 11/11/07 stories below".   

There are numerous used car dealers in
Tampa from
Iraq and Gaza (Shiite) who are sending
vehicles to
the Middle East (Dubai) and then into Iraq
in what
appears to be in support of terrorism.  The
car
smuggling appears to transcend Sunni and
Shiite
lines as both the Mahdi army and al-Qaeda
in Iraq
rely heavily upon profits from the vehicles
to
continue with their terrorist activity.     

When night falls, the assassins gather in
Hayaniya Square  







Ghaith Abdul-Ahad in Basra Saturday
November 17, 2007 The Guardian;  
Hayaniya Square in Basra is a busy
intersection
leading to a poor and run-down
neighborhood.  The
square is dominated by a painting of six
men
dressed in casual trousers and jackets,
behind
whom loom the faces of Moqtada al-Sadr,
the leader
of the Mahdi army, and his father,
Muhammad Sadiq
al-Sadr. The six men, described on the
mural as
martyrs, are Mahdi army commanders who
were
killed by the British   The day before our
meeting,
the energetic Iraqi army commander in the
region,
General Mohan, whose 8th division is in
charge of
security in Basra, banned illegally imported
right-
hand drive cars from the streets of Basra.
The
Mahdi army controls the ports and the
smuggling of
these cars. The ban was aimed at draining
a vital
financial asset of the militia.   Within a few
hours of
the ban, an Iraqi army checkpoint in Basra
seized a
smuggled car with some Mahdi gunmen
inside.












Basra-Iraq's Second Largest City
Controlled by Militias and Mafias  
11/11/2007   

An anonymous reporter of the London-
based daily al-
Sharq al-Awsat, draws a grim picture about
the
situation in the port city of Basra, Iraq’s
second
largest city.    The city is controlled by
religious
parties-affiliated militias that roam the
streets with
their weapons to establish their influence
on
various segments of the life in the city and
to
enforce strict religious conduct.  Most
significantly,
the militias and mafias control the major
ports on
Shatt-al-Arab waterway for the smuggling
of oil by
dhows, motor boats and small tankers
whose lack
of maintenance has caused the complete
pollution
of the river. The smuggling starts by
drilling holes in
the main oil pipeline which carries oil to oil
terminals which causes more pollution on
the
ground.    









Money gained from the smuggling of oil is
used to
import cars and contraband material.  In
one port,
there are currently 4000 cars which fall
below the
specifications established by the
government,
smuggled by one of the controlling families
in that
particular port.    The police force’s loyalty
is to the
militias rather than to the government. The
commander of police in the city said 3500
police
offers draw salaries while staying at home.
He
added that there is not a single major crime
committed in the city in which a police
vehicle of
personnel is not involved.    Al-Sharq al-
Awsat,
London, November 11, 2007.








"Sheibani Network" led by Abu Mustafa Al-
Sheibani
and "Qazali Network" led by Qayis Khazali,
Shiite
terrorists working out of Basra Iraq,
funded by
Iran's Quads Force and smuggled cars,
were
responsible for the Karbala raid on Jan
20th 2007, 5
US Soldiers were killed

The Karbala raid, as explained by the Iraqi
and U.S.
officials, began after nightfall Jan. 20,
while U..S.
military officers were meeting with their
Iraqi
counterparts on the main floor of the
Provisional
Joint Coordination Center in Karbala.

Iraqi officials said the armored black GMC
Suburbans were waved through an Iraqi
checkpoint
at the city's edge. The Iraqi soldiers
believed it to
be American because of the type of
vehicles, the
distinctive camouflage U.S. uniforms and
the fact
that they spoke English. One Iraqi official
said the
team leader was blond, but no other official
confirmed that.  

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A license plate from a car
registered to Iraq's minister of trade was
found on
an SUV used by the gunmen who killed five
American soldiers in the city of Karbala on
Saturday, an Iraqi police official said
Monday.

Maj. Gen. Qais al-Maamuri, a police
commander in
Hilla, said the plate had been stolen from a
BMW
that belongs to Abdul Falah al-Sudani, a
member of
the Shiite Muslim Dawa Party. He said
Sudani
wasn't a suspect in the attack.

















The "Special Groups" operate throughout
Iraq. They
planned and executed a string of bombings,
kidnappings, sectarian murders and more
against
Iraqi citizens, Iraqi forces and coalition
personnel.
They receive arms -- including explosively
formed
penetrators, the most deadly form of
improvised
explosive device -- and funding from Iran.
They also
have received planning help and orders
from Iran.












One group leader was Azhar Dulaymi, whom
coalition forces killed May 19. Bergner said
the
terrorist led the Jan. 20 attack on the
Provincial
Joint Coordination Center in Karbala that
killed five
U.S. soldiers. Dulaymi worked closely with
Ali Musa
Daqduq and Qayis Khazali, two men with
direct
links to Iran.
















Coalition forces captured Daqduq on March
20. “He
is Lebanese-born and has served for the
past 24
years in Lebanese Hezbollah,” Bergner
said. “He
was in Iraq working as a surrogate for
Iranian
Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force
operatives
involved with special groups.”

Daqduq, a member of Hezbollah in Lebanon
since
1983, served as a bodyguard for Hezbollah
leader
Sayyad Hassan Nazrullah. He also led
Hezbollah
operations in large areas of Lebanon,
Bergner said.

“In 2005, he was directed by senior
Lebanese
Hezbollah leadership to go to Iran and
work with
the Quds Force to train Iraqi extremists,”
the
general said. “In May 2006, he traveled to
Tehran
with Yussef Hashim, a fellow Lebanese
Hezbollah
and head of their operations in Iraq. There
they met
with the commander and deputy
commander of the
Iranian Quds Force special external
operations.”  
Daqduq also helped the Quds Force in
training Iraqis
inside Iran. “Quds Force, along with
Hezbollah
instructors train approximately 20 to 60
Iraqis at a
time, sending them back to Iraq organized
into
these special groups,” he said. “They are
being
taught how to use (explosively formed
penetrators),
mortars, rockets, as well as intelligence,
sniper and
kidnapping operations.”









The Quds Force also supplies the groups
with
weapons and a funding stream of between
$750,000
to $3 million a month. “Without this
support, these
special groups would be hard-pressed to
conduct
their operations in Iraq,” Bergner said.

When captured, Daqduq had detailed
documents
that discussed tactics to attack Iraqi and
coalition
forces. “He also had a personal journal that
shows
his involvement with extremist operations
in Iraq,”
the general said. “His diary also notes
meeting with
special group members who were targeting
other
Iraqis and coalition forces in the Diyala
province
using IEDs, as well as small-arms fire.”

Khazali was captured with Daqduq. He was
in
charge of these groups throughout Iraq
since June
2006. He is an Iraqi who worked to develop
the Iraqi
groups into a network similar to Hezbollah.

“It is important to point out that both Ali
Musa
Daqduq and Qayis Khazali state that senior
leadership within the Quds Force knew of
and
supported planning for the eventual
Karbala attack
that killed five coalition soldiers,” Bergner
said. “Ali
Musa Daqduq contends the Iraqi special
groups
could not have conducted this complex
operation
without the support and direction of the
Quds Force.

“Ali Musa Daqduq and Qayis Khazali both
confirm
that Qayis Khazali authorized the operation
and
Azhar al Dulaymi, (killed) executed the
operation.

The Globalization of Terror
Funding (Tampa Fl)
Cell members ran a used car "business."

Banking and Front Companies

The success of the assimilation of terror
financing
into legitimate (and illegitimate)
businesses and
state-sponsored terrorism lies in its
discreetness
and untraceability. International Islamic
terror
groups have been so successful in
integrating their
operations into the business community
that many
who actively provide money and funding
channels
are totally unaware of their involvement in
any
illegal activity . One can make a
comparison to al
Qaeda functioning like a holding company,
which
maintains several different business lines
and
operational divisions, functioning
independently.

Although it is impossible that there is a
consolidated finance division overseeing
the entire
operation, individual units do direct and
share
revenues and expenses to carry out
attacks. As
with business, terror groups have proven
adept at
penetrating mainstream charities for the
purpose of
co-opting funds intended for humanitarian
purposes.









Both SAAR and IIIT are suspected of
financing
Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad
(PIJ)
through Tampa's World and Islamic Studies
Enterprise (WISE) and the Islamic
Committee for
Palestine (ICP), once PIJ fronts in Tampa
Florida
but since closed. Since being outlawed in
the US,
Hamas has taken steps to obscure its
international
fundraising operations, bringing it closer to
other
international terrorist organizations.

Militant regional Islamist organizations in
the West
Bank, such as the Tulkarm Zakat
Committee, are
funded by a wide array of international
organizations, which frequently mask their
support
for Hamas as generic support for
Palestinians. For
example, in July 2002, the "Islam-on-line"
portal
featured a special page stressing the need
to
support Palestinian armed struggle and
glorifying
suicide attacks but also the need to
support youth
education, social activities and economic
assistance (which it defined as "economic
jihad").

In the United States, law enforcement
officials are
investigating a variety of criminal
enterprises
suspected of funding Middle East terrorist
groups
such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) ,
including the stealing and reselling of baby
formula,
such as Saad Saad in Tampa Fl at Mike's
Food Store
where convicted terrorist supporter of the
PIJ Sami
al-Arian owned the property.








Terror expert and Private Investigator
Jean-Charles
Brisard argues that 90 per cent of terror
financing
goes toward general maintenance of cells
and
equipment. Less than 10 per cent actually
finances
the execution of operations.

A terrorist group will only operate a bank
account
under its own name when it is state-
sponsored, or
state approved, as is the case of Hizballah
in
Lebanon. However, terrorists find ways of
using
conventional banks by operating within
legitimate
businesses.

The investigations into the September 11th
attacks
revealed the widespread use of legitimate
businesses and employment by al Qaeda
operatives
to derive income to support both
themselves and
their activities. According to US
Congressional
testimony by a senior FBI official, a
construction
and plumbing company run by members of
an al
Qaeda cell in Europe hired mujahadeen
arriving
from places like Bosnia where they
returned from a
jihad. In another case, cell members ran a
used car
"business."

In these and other examples, cell members
deposited their legitimate salaries,
government
subsidies,supplemental income from family
members and terrorist funds received by
cash or
wire transfer into the same one or two
accounts.  
According to the Lebanese state
prosecutor,
members of a disbanded Lebanese al
Qaeda cell had
funded their activities by buying and
selling cars in
Germany and discussed establishing other
business
interests to cover the cell's activities.  In
this way,
terrorist groups have built up considerable
assets
through the conventional banking system
in the US,
Britain, Switzerland and Dubai. Legitimate
employment offers terrorists cover,
livelihood, and
useful international contacts.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity
at the risk
of his life above and beyond the call of
duty while
serving as a Squad Leader with Company
M, Third
Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine
Division in the
Republic of Vietnam on 4 September 1967.
During
Operation SWIFT, in the province of Quang
Tin, the
Marines of the second platoon of Company
M were
struck by intense mortar, machine gun, and
small
arms fire from an entrenched enemy force.
As the
company rallied its forces, Sergeant Peters
maneuvered his squad in an assault on an
enemy
defended knoll disregarding his safety, as
enemy
rounds hit all about him, he stood in the
open,
pointing out enemy positions until he was
painfully
wounded in the leg. Disregarding his
wound he
moved forward and continued to lead his
men. As
the enemy fire increased in accuracy and
volume,
his squad lost its momentum and was
temporarily
pinned down. Exposing himself to
devastating
enemy fire, he consolidated his position to
render
more effective fire. While directing the
base of fire,
he was wounded a second time in the face
and neck
from an exploding mortar round. As the
enemy
attempted to infiltrate the position of an
adjacent
platoon, Sergeant Peters stood erect in the
full view
of the enemy firing burst after burst
forcing them to
disclose their camouflaged positions.
Sergeant
Peters continued firing until he was
critically
wounded by a gunshot wound in his chest.
Although
unable to walk or stand, Sergeant Peters
steadfastly continued to direct his squad in
spite of
two additional wounds, persisted in his
efforts to
encourage and supervise his men until; he
lost
consciousness and succumbed. Inspired by
his
selfless actions, the squad regained fire
superiority
and once again carried the assault to the
enemy. By
his outstanding valor, indomitable fighting
spirit and
tenacious determination in the face of
overwhelming odds, Sergeant Peters
upheld the
highest traditions of the Marine Corps and
the
United States Naval Service. He gallantly
gave his
life for his country.

Group plans tribute for Binghamton's
Vietnam veterans in 2007
BINGHAMTON -- A local "band of brothers"
known
as Hanagan's Heroes will be immortalized
during a
Memorial Day weekend ceremony at the
site of a
former South Side tavern that once listed
their
names on a makeshift honor roll.

A brass plaque affixed to a stone
monument will
eventually be engraved with at least 146
"heroes" --
including eight who were killed in the line
of duty
(Lawrence Peters, Thomas Edwards,
James Mc
Alistar, William Steier, Nicholas Parasiliti
are 5) --
and be incorporated into Southside
Commons,
which the city is developing behind several
businesses on South Washington Street...
Mayor
Matt Ryan will join Tim Grippen and Bill
Grace, co-
chairs of “Remembering Hanagan’s Heroes
Campaign” at a news conference 11:30am,
Friday,
at 45 South Washington Street, which is
the empty
lot next to the Whole in the Wall
Restaurant.

Tim Grippen and Bill Grace, both Vietnam
veterans
from the Binghamton area, were two of
many local
veterans whose names appeared on a
cardboard
sign kept by Bob Hanagan inside his
tavern, a South
Side institution decades ago. The co-chairs
are
leading a campaign to recreate the list and
install a
historical marker near the former tavern,
and are
urging the public to submit names so
nobody is
forgotten.

Local businesses, like Robby’s Wine and
Liquor and
Southside Yannis have lent their support to
the
idea, and Mayor Ryan has pledged to
incorporate
the marker into the Southside Commons
project, a
mixed-use parking facility being planned
for the
Southbridge District thanks to support from
Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo.
