Khalid Shaikh Mohammed

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

Accused as financial mastermind of the September 11th attack. The CIA claimed on March 1st, 2003, that they finallly arrested him, but left out the disturbing background details on him. Due to an Asian Times report from October 2001, Shaikh Mohammed died in a FBI October 2001-raid: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/DJ30Df01.html

Fisk,Robert questioned the arrest of ISI-Shaikh Mohammed, too: ...At one point, according to documents obtained by The Times, Qatar told the U.S. that it feared Mohammed was constructing an explosive device. They said, he possessed more than 20 different passports; still, they delayed granting the U.S. permission to arrest him

As Thompson,Paul found out, in December 1997, CIA agent Baer,Robert, newly retired from the CIA and working as a terrorism consultant, meets a former police chief from the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar. Baer learns how Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was sheltered from the FBI by Qatari Interior Minister Abdallah bin Khalid al-Thani. He passes this information to the CIA in early 1998, but the CIA takes no action against Qatar's "al-Qaeda patrons". 

By 1999 he is living in Germany and visiting with the hijackers there. US and German officials say a number of sources place Mohammed at Atta's Hamburg apartment. German intelligence surveil the apartment in 1999 but apparently don't notice Mohammed. US investigators have been searching for Mohammed since 1996, but apparently never tell the Germans what they know about him. Around Summer 2001, the Nsa intercepts telephone conversations between 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Atta, but does not share the information with any other agencies.
