September 11 Plot Financing: Key Questions

Financial Activity of 19 Hijackers (and Moussaui)

A. How much can we show they spent (living expenses, travel, flight
training, flight supplies, etc.).
B. What other costs, if any, do we know they must have incurred,
even if not demonstrable
C. What is the best estimate of how much the plot cost
• resolve conflict on this figure
• requires setting start date for each participant in plot

A. How much can we show they received

• wire transfers to Hamburg


• wire transfers to U.S.
• cash deposits in U.S.
• other funds received

A. How much of a "gap" exists between what they spent and what we
know they received

• where is "gap" (i.e., can we identify which hijackers


must have received more funding than we can trace)
• Al-Mihdhar
• Al-Hazmi
• Others
• Best explanation for gap (i.e., what does evidence
suggest is most likely explanation, additional overseas funding, more
cash, funding by persons in U.S., or something else).

A. What U.S. persons, if any, may have provided funds to 19 hijackers

• Persons in contact with Al-Mihdhar and Al-Hazmi in


San Diego
• Anyone else

A. How were Moussaoui's activities funded


• Funds received and spent
• Story of Moussaoui's financing inextricably linked to
19 hijackers

A. Return of Unused Funds

when

El. Sources of Funds

A. Who provided hijackers (and Moussaoui) with funds


• wire transfers from overseas
• Cash/Traveler's Checks
• Anything else
• Resolve conflicting testimony re source of transfers
from UAE

A. Can we trace funds originating overseas beyond initial source

• From whom did persons providing money to hijackers


get those funds
• If not from direct Al-Qaeda source, were funds
provided with knowledge of purpose

A. Can we identify source of funds, if any, received by hijackers from


persons in United States
• San Diego persons
• What is status of investigation, reported by press, into
allegations Saudi Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, wife of Prince Bandar,
provided funds to families of certain persons who had contact with
hijackers in San Diego
• What knowledge, if any, did any source have of purpose
for funds

ffl. Other questions

A. Did any of the hijackers use false social security numbers to open
bank accounts
• has been alleged in press, but no mention of it in Govt.
sources
• would be inconsistent with Mueller's public testimony
("they lived lawfully"); would be major omission in Lormel's public
2/02 testimony that "none of hijackers had social security numbers"

A. Did any Banks file S ARs re any of the hijackers' financial


activities
