Karachi-Connection

From 911Encyclopedia:

Karachi is the headquarter of rabid anti-Shia sectarian outfits like Sipah-e-Saheba and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. Intelligence agencies have tracked down Moussaoui's (->) first flight to Karachi on December 9, 2000. He remained in Pakistan till February 7, 2001 after which he flew out of Karachi to London from where he flew to Chicago carrying $35,000. What he did while in Karachi is still a mystery. One of Moussaoui's associates and co-conspirator was Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, the (official) key financier of the WTC attack. Al-Hawsawi first opened a bank account in a StandardCharteredBank branch in Dubai, UAE with a cash deposit. On the same day, another of his friends, Fayez Rashid AH Alqadi Bamihammad too opened an account in the same bank. Less than a month later, Bamihammad gave a power of attorney to Hawsawi to operate his accounts. Hawsawi picked up Bamihammad's Visa and ATM cards from the Dubai branch and shipped them to Florida between July 18 and August 1, 2001. Investigations have since then revealed that Hawsawi transferred $375,000 to the terrorists involved in the attack through various channels, including some banks in Karachi. On September 11, 2001, al-Hawsawi flew from Dubai to Karachi to take shelter. Mir Amal Kansi, convicted of the 1993 shooting outside CIA headquarters in Langley, was picked up in Pakistan. He had fled to Karachi after killing two CIA agents. The hijackers of IC-814 had taken a PIA flight-PK806-from Karachi to Kathmandu from where they were allowed to board the Indian Airlines flight without the mandatory security check in December 1999. Karachi happens to be the city where President Pervez Musharraf's family first came to settle after the Partition. Source: http://www.hvk.org/articles/0102/118.html
