...Who is al-Bayoumi? At various times, the affable father of four told people that he was getting his doctorate at San Diego State, though the school has no record he ever attended. He told others that he was a pilot for the Saudi national airline. He worked for Dallah Avco, an aviation-services company with extensive contracts with the Saudi Ministry of Defense and Aviation, headed by Prince Sultan, the father of the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar..."

. ...Al Baraka Bank provided Osama bin Laden with financial infrastructures in Sudan beginning in 1983.For example, the use of al Baraka Bank by al-Haramain was confirmed by a statement from al-Haramain chairman, Aqueel al-Aqueel, who declared that the charity maintained accounts at Al Baraka bank in Saudi Arabia. Omar al Bayoumi was Assistant to the Director of Finance for Dallah Avco, reference he gave in an application for admission to a doctoral program at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland in 1998. From the indictment:
916. On May 5, 1998, Omar Al Bayoumi registered a fictious company name called Masjed al Madinah al Munawarah (Masjid al Madinah al Munawarah) based in San Diego, California.
917. In March 25, 1999 a mosque was registered in the state of Pennsylvania under the name of Masjid al Madinah al Munawwarah Inc. 918. Dallah Albaraka financial arm is al Baraka Investment & Development (or "ABID"), a wholly owned subsidiary based in Jeddah.
919. Saleh Abdullah Kamel, Chairman of Dallah al Baraka and al Baraka Bank was one of the three founding members of al Shamal Islamic Bank in 1983, along with a Sudanese company, al Shamal for Investment and Development and the Government of Northern State, then controlled by Governor Mutasin Abdel-Rahim, representative of Hassan al-Turabi.
920. The involvement of Dallah Albaraka Group and al Baraka Bank in providing financial support and assistance to terrorist organizations is also revealed in the financing of the HAMAS terrorist group.
921. In 1998, al Aqsa Islamic Bank was established with $20 million in capital. Its main shareholders were Dallah al Baraka and the Jordan Islamic Bank. Jordan Islamic Bank, a Dallah al-Baraka subsidiary, owns 14 percent of al-Aqsa. Saleh Abdullah Kamel acknowledged that Dallah al-Baraka owns another 12 percent directly.
922. Since 1998, Israel had refused to approve the bank, citing its obvious ties with HAMAS. At the beginning of 2001, several antiterrorist authorities from that country even visited Citibank's headquarters in New York to warn its directors of the nature of the bank's activities.

Interview with 911-Saudi Lawsuit attorney and one 911victim Aired November 25, 2002 - 20:00 ET : http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0211/25/cct.00.html
CHUNG,
CNN:
Ron, I'm told that you have just returned from Kabul, that your
investigators were there looking into links between the hijackers
and the Taliban and al Qaeda. Were they able to find any link to
the Saudi royal family?
RON MOTLEY,
ATTORNEY FOR 9/11
VICTIMS AND RELATIVES:
Yes, ma'am. We were able to establish, by sworn testimony, the act
of participation of Prince
Turki
in the facilitation of the funding of al Qaeda directly in
Afghanistan.
CHUNG:
Are you saying that Prince
Turki, with whom I just spoke and who claims no one in the
royal family is in any way connected to or funding al Qaeda, are
you saying that he is indeed not only a funder, but a facilitator
for al Qaeda?
MOTLEY:
There is absolutely no question about it. We spoke with senior
Taliban officials who were in the room when he indeed did
facilitate the transfer of large sums of money directly to al Qaeda
in Afghanistan.
