September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

had been responsible for wiring $100,000 to an account belonging Mohammed Atta in
the weeks before September 11.
“According to accounts in both The Times of India and India Today, former ISI chief Lt. Gen.
Mahmud Ahmad instructed Sheikh to send the $100,000 to Atta. "A direct link between the ISI and
the WTC attack could have enormous repercussions," the Times article said. "The U.S. cannot but
suspect whether there were other senior Pakistani Army commanders who were in the know of things."
“It added: "Evidence of a larger conspiracy could shake U.S. confidence in Pakistan's ability to
participate in the anti-terrorism coalition." The Times says Ahmad lost his job only after India shared
with the FBI evidence showing a link between the general and Sheikh's wiring of funds to Atta.” [Did

It appears as though the Indians were using this opportunity to eliminate an enemy of the
state of India (Mahmoud Ahmad), and were quite successful in doing so. By publicly
releasing the information to the press (an action usually avoided as a professional
courtesy) the U.S. was forced to act. The charges were never refuted. Mahmoud Ahmad
was forced to retire, with no subsequent investigation, no lock-up and interrogation at
Guantanamo by US Intelligence, no confiscation of bank accounts. In fact, he was
treated quite similarly as the Israeli agents detained in the U.S. When trying to
understand the absence of any punitive action by U.S. authorities for his role in funding
the attack, one must consider his connections. Mahmud Ahmad was in the U.S., having
breakfast with Senators Graham and Kyl, and Congressman Porter Goss (who would later
be rewarded with being made Director of the CIA), when the attack on the World Trade
Center happened.

Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security, and the Chairman of the
House Intelligence Committee doing on the morning of 9/11 before that first plane hit? Senator Bob
Graham, Senator Jon Kyl and Congressman Porter Goss were having breakfast with Mahmud Ahmad,
then Pakistani Chief of Intelligence - the same man who ordered $100,000 to be wired into hijacker
Mohammed Atta’s bank account [Slick Trick, By Ellen W. Horowitz, Israel Hasbara Committee]
“General Ahmad had already been reported as having breakfast in the nation's capital with Senator Bob
Graham and Representative Porter Goss on the morning of September 11 (both Graham and Goss
would go on to co-chair the joint Senate-House 9/11 inquiry). In fact, as early as September 9—two
days before 9/11, for those who didn't notice—Karachi News had weighed in with the following
observation:
"ISI Chief Lt-Gen [Mahmud Ahmad's] week-long presence in Washington has triggered speculation
about the agenda of his mysterious meetings at the Pentagon and National Security Council . . . What
added interest to his visit is the history of such visits. Last time Ziauddin Butt, [General Ahmad's]
predecessor, was here during Nawaz Sharif's government, the domestic politics turned topsy-turvy
within days. That this is not the first visit by [General Ahmad] in the last three months shows the
urgency of the ongoing parleys." [Truth, lies, and the legend of 9/11 Part 1 of 10 parts: There's
something about Omar, By Chaim Kupferberg, OnLine Journal]
“… the afternoon of 9-11, as well as on September 12 and 13, Ahmad met with Richard Armitage”
“... Most controversially, Goss was having a breakfast meeting in Washington with the then ISI chief
Mahmoud Ahmad at the exact instant the 9/11 hijackers flew their planes into the World Trade Center.
Ahmad was a Taliban supporter who was subsequently removed from his job when he continued to bat
for the outlaw regime post 9/11.
