In 1994, Saeed began training at a training camp in Afghanistan. He soon was teaching the classes. [Los Angeles Times, 2/9/02] He developed close ties with al-Qaeda while training there. By the end of the year, he was known as Osama bin Laden’s “favored son” or “my special son.” [London Times, 8/21/02, Vanity Fair, 8/02], --The Many Faces of Saeed Sheikh, Paul Thompson
Sheikh went on to prison in India. He was released after other terrorists hijacked an Indian Airlines passenger jet and flew it to Afghanistan. Sheikh and two other terrorists were traded for the Indian passengers. An ISI Colonel escorted Sheikh to a safe house in Pakistan. Sheikh then lived openly in Pakistan, attending parties of high-level government officials there.
Sheikh then is allowed to return to Britain, twice, in 2000 and 2001, even though he was a known international terrorist who had kidnapped British citizens in 1994. Pakistani dictator, Pervez Musharraf, told that Omar Saeed Sheikh worked for British MI6.
"Pakistan's President General Pervez Musharraf has disclosed that Omar Sheikh, who alledgedly kidnapped and murdered American journalist Daniel Pearl and is now facing the death penalty, was actually an agent for the British Secret Agency MI6. Musharraf claims that Omar Sheikh had executed certain missions on MI6's behest before coming to Pakistan and visiting Afghanistan to meet Osama and Mullah Om." --INN World Report, January 16, 2007
Others in Pakistan claim that Omar Sheikh is CIA.
"There are many in Musharraf's government who believe that Saeed Sheikh's power comes not from the ISI, but from his connections with our own CIA." --Pittsburgh Tribune, Did Pearl die because Pakistan deceived CIA?, March 3, 2002
"There are those who might doubt the word of Musharraf, and who can blame them? But in fact I documented Omar Sheikh Saeed's simultaneous intelligence connections to the CIA, ISI and MI6 in The War on Truth and The London Bombings. Details have come forth from an intriguing combination of American, British and Pakistani government sources." --Nafeez M. Ahmed, Pakistan and the Terror Nexus
Perhaps Omar Sheikh belongs to all three agencies? Four including Al Qaeda? Who knows?
Not the American people. That's for sure. The American people do not know much about Omar Saeed Sheikh / Mustafa Ahmad, although he, apparently, financed the September 11th attacks, trained some of the hijackers in Afghanistan and worked for Pakistani ISI, British MI6 and U.S. CIA.
And none of this can be talked about in the Congress. Nor in the presidential debates. Nor on mainstream television nor on corporate radio.
Quite a neat trick.
