9/11 attack partially funded from India, says former New Delhi police chief
140
NEW DELHI: A former police commissioner of New Delhi, Neeraj Kumar, has claimed in his book that part of the funding for 9/11 attacks in the United States (US) had emerged from India, according to report published on The Times of India website.
The former police officer, who served in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and retired as a Delhi Police commissioner two years ago, has based his claim on the "revelation" made by a terrorist.
Kumar, who currently heads the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) anti-corruption wing, said the finance for the 9/11 attack was raised from a kidnapping and the earnings were handed over to the chief of the 9/11 attackers, Mohammad Atta by Omar Sheikh.
Read: 'Pakistan had no hint of 9/11 attacks'
Omar Saeed Sheikh was freed by India in Dec 1999 as part of a deal that saw New Delhi agreeing to release a number of militant leaders in exchange for the freedom of hostages on board an India plane hijacked to Kabul. He has a long record of militancy, from kidnapping foreigners in Mumbai in 1994 to kidnapping Daniel Pearl in Jan 2002. In Feb 2002, Omar was arrested in Lahore for the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl.
Sheikh was given the money by terrorist Aftab Ansari, who was responsible for the attack on the American Centre in Kolkata that took place in 2002, said the officer, further saying that, information obtained from Harkat-ul Mujahideen militant Asif Raza Khan.
Kumar quoted Asif Raza as saying that his "boss Aftab Ansari had shared the ransom money collected from the kidnapping of Partha Pratim Roy Burman, Managing Director of Khadim Shoes with Omar Sheikh."

"Part of the ransom money received in the Burman kidnapping — about USD 100,000 — had later found its way from Omar Sheikh to Mohammad Atta, the chief of the 9/11 attackers," according to the book.
Ansari is currently waiting to be hanged in a West Bengal jail for a January 2002 attack on American Centre in Kolkatta.
"Part of the ransom money received in the Burman kidnapping — about $100,000 had later found its way from Omar Sheikh to Mohammad Atta, the chief of the 9/11 attackers," his book narrates.

The former police chief of New Delhi said the revelation of Asif Raza Khan that ransom money was passed on to Mohammed Atta was also mentioned in the testimony of John S. Pistole, deputy assistant director of the FBI's counter-terrorism division deputy assistant director in July 2003 at Washington.

I think this is the time for introspection which every nation needs to do irrespective to where I/you belongs because it is we who are making a nation and we need to decide whether we want to live peacefully or not.
I think our previous generations has given us a wonderful gift of mankind, love, natural resources etc which we are not able to protect and our future generations will curse us for this.
I think the money which goes to these terrorists from any country plays a major role in the destruction of mankind from this planet.
Think about this and decide what steps we should take from here as an individual starting today/now.
I stand for a peaceful world freee from any barriers of religion/cast or anything which does not allow a human to live peacefully and bring tears.
Please think over it when you are above from all types of religion/nation/cast/power specific mentality and when you are humanity specific.
Peace, Harmony from an Indian citizen.

I am not surprised. In the world of terrorism, I will not be surprised that money came from all over the world, especially from within USA. Remember that all the hijackers were Saudi, Yemeni and Egyptians, and none from Afghanistan and Pakistan. For 9/11 I would blame the Saudis first, But money from just about any country, including India, is no big story.

It is amazing how these terrorist survive and work together. So, they need money to travel, eat, live in nice hotels, and do on. But tracking money flow is extremely difficult especially when banks are not involved. The civilized world has to come up with an effective method to monitor, find, and destroy these terrorists. Do not know what that method will be. But one thing is that if someone suspect any doubtful or strange activity in the neighborhood then they must tell to law and enforcement departments immediately.

The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an "inside job", according to a group of leading academics.
Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries.
But leading scientists say the facts of their investigations cannot be ignored and say they have evidence that points to one of the biggest conspiracies ever perpetrated.
Professor Steven Jones, who lectures in physics at the Brigham Young University in Utah, says the official version of events is the biggest and most evil cover up in history.
He has joined the 9/11 Scholars for Truth whose membership includes up to 75 leading scientists and experts from universities across the US.
Prof Jones said: "We don't believe that 19 hijackers and a few others in a cave in Afghanistan pulled this off acting alone.
And how correct were they when they made these claims.

Even after more than a decade of lies, treachery and veiled cover ups about NYC's 9-11, the world will never know the facts behind this
horrendous attack or even other attacks around the world which have mindlessly targeted innocent civilians.
A recent article in a progressive Western news site, truth-to-power.com suggests 9-11 and the recent Paris tragedy has roots in Russian and Israeli mafias with some govt. input. Both Russia and Israel are at presently close allies in the Syrian war - and targeting the US and its EU allies, ie., France who are on opposite sides in this polarizing war. Some of the money funding these global attacks per this article have been traced to Eastern Europe, which is still a Russian controlled stronghold. BTW, India is also a long time Russian ally ...

If you look at the beneficiary of 911, India has been the greatest beneficiary.
Out of the blue, Bush gave good news, outsourcing related, to India in his first state of the union speech. Later, Pakistan gave the sacrifices and India got all the rewards & preferential treatment from America, one after another.
Also, Bush, Cheney, joe Lieberman changed the direction, out of the blue, toward Iraq instead of taking on on Afghanistan first. Going after Iraq in the middle of something that was a key priority for USA, does not make sense. And, now even Cheney admits the mistake, Senior Bush admits the mistake.
These two things, out of the blue, happened almost around the same time. It seemed it was planned.
Then we also know the planes had not hit building 7, and it fell down just like the other two fell on floor at a time, downward.
There is more to it, and may be, facts will come out, later.

He is writing a book. And such claims are one way to make it bestsellers. Don't believe nonsense like this.

All those saying Its a way to sell his book, are favouring India.
If a Pakistani had done the same, there would have been world wide rhetoric and furore.

This entire 'surprise' been the most exercised gossip in Indo-Pak extremists of muslim fundamentalism. After the fall of USSR parties like JI changed its tactics spontaneously thinking that USSR is the past and now "we got to breakup USA" as Qazi Hussein of JI repeatedly was boosting. Once I curiously asked a person airing such ideas and he with no difficulty in simple language say "just do away with the twine tower which is the source of US fiscal power and target is done" this made me think about all gossip seriously. And as now is history no one in the 3rd world can be excluded as an actor in this tragedy including Neeraj Kumar. Just think about hatrage that such portion of the world's population carries against the big powers for their policing the world affairs. But if they don' do it the world will go to cats and dogs?

Guys please read the entire article.
It says the money that was paid by India as ransom money, got used for wrong purpose. You can't blame India (or any other country that had done something similar) for the ultimate use.
The higher level point is, there's nothing like good or bad terrorists, it's all bad. Shun them all.

Man, do people not read before commenting? Many comments seem to have been written after a brief keyword search.
On a more serious note, the problem of tracking and stopping funding for terrorists in a "global economy" is a very serious one. There are many startups that are trying to solve this problem, Palantir being one of them.

After every 5 years some new evidence comes. Seriously we know who did this and after 40 years they will release the documents stating the names of suspects, the leader who directed and trained the people, but by that time no one would care. That's how policies works.
