So we have both of these plans to wire money originating in Dubai and ending up in banks in Florida . Coincidence?
Another interesting parallel in the two stories is that they both involve members of the Pakistani ISI. We know that Raja Ghulam Abbas represented himself to Randy Glass as being a Pakistani ISI Agent. The Times of India, in an article titled, India helped FBI trace ISI-terrorist links 
, by Manoj Joshi, dated October 9, 2001, revealed that the head of the Pakistani ISI, General Mahmoud Ahmad, had been fired from his position after it was determined that he had authorized the transfer of $100,000 to Mohamed Atta in Florida shortly before 9-11.
“While the Pakistani Inter Services Public Relations claimed that former ISI director-general Lt-Gen Mahmud Ahmad sought retirement after being superseded on Monday, the truth is more shocking.
Top sources confirmed here on Tuesday, that the general lost his job because of the "evidence" India produced to show his links to one of the suicide bombers that wrecked the World Trade Centre. The US authorities sought his removal after confirming the fact that $100,000 were wired to WTC hijacker Mohammed Atta from Pakistan by Ahmad Umar Sheikh at the instance of Gen Mahumd.” (6)
Further research indicates that Dubai was the place where most Al Qaeda money transfers originated. Atta apparently received a number of money transfers from Dubai and some of them were sent by people other than Ali Abd al-Aziz. Atta’s name will come up again later in this report when I tell the story of another Operation Diamondback player.
So whatever happened to Diaa Mohsen, Mohammed Malik and Raja Ghulam Abbas after Operation Diamondback came to an end? Here are some of the answers from the Dateline transcript:
“In June of last year, the feds moved in and arrested Randy Glass’s original contact, Diaa Mohsen, and Mohamed Mike Malik. That was three months before 9/11. After 9/11 both men pled guilty to violating arms laws. But remarkably — even though they were apparently willing to supply America’s enemies with sophisticated weapons — even nuclear weapons technology — Mohsen was sentenced to just 30 months in prison. And Malik? Mysteriously, his sentence remains under seal. And he appears to be a free man as “Dateline” saw recently when we visited him at his New Jersey convenience store.” (2)
According to my own research, Diaa Mohsen spent time in Allenwood Federal Prison in White Deer, PA and had a projected release date of 9-13-03 .
Mohamed Malik currently lives in Watchung , New Jersey and according to reports, his case has been sealed and all references to Pakistan have been stricken from the documents.
In an article that appeared in the Washington Post titled U.S. Reopens Arms Case In Probe for Taliban Role, lawyers for Moshen and Malik tried to minimize their role and discount their contacts:
“Lawyers for the two men arrested in the sting said their clients have no connections to terrorists or arms dealers, and became involved only when approached by a U.S. government informant.
"None of those people who came over from Pakistan were government officials who could get an arms deal done," said Jim Eisenberg, attorney for Mohammed "Mike" Malik, one of the potential buyers, who remains free and whose case is sealed.
Val Rodriguez, lawyer for Diaa Mohsen, the only man in the case currently imprisoned, said his client also lacked the ties necessary to arrange a secret arms deal. He acknowledged, however, that Mohsen "kept trying to get the connections [the undercover agent] wanted." However, both Mohsen and Malik, he added, "had contact with people who knew terrorists."”
The statements from the lawyers contradict statements made by ATF Special Agent Dick Stoltz and other intelligence people who claim that the contacts Moshen and Malik made were with terror groups known to be enemies of the United States .
What bothers me is that both Moshen and Malik were caught red-handed on tape talking about securing components for nuclear weapons and Malik himself provided a list of specific things they needed to build these weapons. I didn’t hear Randy Glass or Dick Stoltz saying that they had these things for sale. I heard Moshen and Malik asking for them and making their deal contingent on the acquisition of these nuclear weapons related components.
And how does a guy who supposedly just runs a convenience store in Jersey City even know what kind of components are needed to build a nuclear weapon unless he’s involved with people who know what to ask for?
As for Raja Ghulum Abbas, he ended up fleeing the country and intelligence officials claim they have lost him. Dateline NBC was able to locate him easily enough though and talked to him over the phone.
