"Al-Azhar Sheikh Working for Release of 'Omar 'Abd Al-Rahman

The sheikh of Al-Azhar, Dr. Muhammad Al-Tayeb, said that intense efforts are being made to arrange the release of Sheikh 'Omar 'Abd Al-Rahman, known as the Blind Sheikh, a member of the Al-Jama'a Al-Islamiyya organization who has been imprisoned in the US since 1996 for involvement in the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center. Al-Tayeb said that the coming days will see a breakthrough in this matter. Tomorrow (April 21) a demonstration is to be held in front of the US embassy in Cairo in demand for the sheikh's release.

A LEAD TO THE 9/11 PLOT—TEN YEARS EARLY

 

Nosair kept a mailbox at a check cashing store in Jersey City called Sphinx Trading. It was located at 2828 Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City, four doors down from Sheikh Rahman’s Jersey hangout, the al-Salaam Mosque. One of the most extraordinary discoveries of this investigation is that Sphinx Trading held a key that could have put the FBI right into the middle of the 9/11 plot, months before September 11.

          That mailbox of Nosair’s is a symbol of how so many roads in the 9/11 story lead back to the blind Sheikh and his cell members. It underscores why the 9/11 Commission was bound to get only part of the truth when it focused on the years 1998 forward in trying to untangle the “planes as missiles” plot. As we’ll see, El Sayyid Nosair and Sphinx Trading were each enormous “dots” on the road to 9.11 that the FBI left disconnected.

During the penalty phase of the Moussaoui trial in March 2006, Minneapolis agent Harry Samit accused FBI officials of acting with “criminal negligence” in failing to approve FISA search warrants. I believe that the Bureau’s seeming inability to tie Nosair and Sphinx to the 9/11 plot can fairly be cited as another example.

In any case, within months of the Sheikh’s arrival, Nosair was ready to use the shooting skills Ali Mohamed had taught him, to fire the first shots in al Qaeda’s new war against America. His target was Rabbi Meier Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League (JDL). Kahane openly advocated the removal of all non-Jews from Israel. His views were considered so extreme that he’d been banned from the Israeli Knesset; and he’d recently returned to New York City.
At this point we don’t know for sure how much of a role Ali Mohamed may have played in designing the plot, but on his frequent New York visits he stayed with Nosair and used his house at 577 Olympia Avenue in Cliffside Park, New Jersey to store the intelligence that he’d stolen from Fort Bragg. In one manila folder Mohamed stashed Green Beret manuals marked “Top Secret for Training.” He even hid communiqués classified as Secret from the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

One of these was a JCS “Warning Order,” addressed to eight separate U.S. military   command centers and support groups, the White House, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, not to mention the U.S. embassies in Cairo, Egypt, Khartoum, Sudan, Mogadishu, Somalia, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“There were dozens and dozens of documents that were of various classified status found in Nosair’s possessions after the search warrant was executed,” says Steven Emerson. “From the actual ship docking locations of U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf to training manuals for special operations warfare. That would’ve been of immense value to the holy warriors and to the World Trade Center conspirators back in 1993, as they were trained for carrying out terrorists operations.”

Another document, entitled “Location of Selected Units on 05 December 1988,” listed the precise positions of Special Operations Forces (SOF) worldwide—including the army’s Green Berets and Navy SEAL teams—along with details of their missions. That document, along with the JCS “Warning Order,” is included—complete with Mohamed’s handwritten notes in Arabic— as Appendix __ on page __. That single communiqué could have easily gotten Mohamed indicted on charges of espionage and treason, defying the legal judgement of the JAG officer at Fort Bragg who had spurned Lt. Col. Anderson’s request for a court martial.

The cache of intelligence from Nosair’s house also contained hints of al Qaeda’s most famous New York target. Along with a receipt for 1400 rounds of ammunition and an Arabic manual on improvised explosive devices, there were maps of the World Trade Center, along with audio tapes of Sheikh Rahman exhorting his faithful to “mount steeds of war” for the jihad.

            One passage deep inside Nosair’s notebook called for the “destruction of the enemies of Allah . . . by . . . exploding . . . their civilized pillars . . . and their high world buildings.”

But Ali Mohamed had schooled Nosair in the tradecraft of secret cells. The “brothers” should always use code, he advised. If they had to write down something, their notebooks should begin in Arabic with passages from the Koran or Islamic poetry so as to throw off any investigators who might seize the material.

Nosair had reason to believe his notebook might be seized.


THE FIRST MURDER

On the night of November 5, 1990, as Kahane left the podium in the Morgan D Room of Marriott’s East Side Hotel, Nosair burst in and began firing the same .357 Magnum photographed by the FBI at Calverton sixteen months before. The rabbi was struck twice, once in the neck.

Nosair rushed from the conference room but was grabbed by Irving Franklin, a 73 year old Kahane supporter. After a brief scuffle Nosair shot the old man in the leg, raced toward the hotel’s front door, searching for a taxi.

            This is where Ali Mohamed’s possible role in the assassination comes into play.

The original plot called for two of Mohamed’s trainees, Mahmoud Abouhalima and Mohamed Salameh, to assist in the getaway. Nosair was to leave his car with Salameh on nearby Park Avenue and then walk to the Marriott a block away. Salameh would then drive Nosair’s Olds back home after the killing. Abouhalima, who had a hack license, was supposed to be waiting outside of the hotel in a cab to speed Nosair away.

But the doorman at the hotel waved Abouhalima away from the entrance, according to Shannon Taylor a freelance photographer who took the famous shot of Kahane lying in extremis.  So when the wide-eyed Nosair rushed from the hotel, he mistakenly got into a taxi driven by Franklin Garcia, a New York cabbie. Suddenly, a young follower of Kahane jumped in front of the cab and prevented it from moving. In the back seat, Nosair realized the error and pointed the barrel of the .357 to Garcia’s head, whereupon the taxi driver burst from the cab. He later told jurors that he was so terrified that “I almost pee my pants.”

Now, bursting out of the cab and running down Lexington Avenue with the nickel-plated gun, Nosair was spotted by Carlos Acosta, a uniformed U.S. postal inspector who drew his service weapon. Nosair fired first, wounding Acosta in the shoulder just outside the edge of his flak vest, but the heroic officer dropped to his knee and returned fire as Nosair started to run; striking the Egyptian in the neck with a single shot.

         A pair of ambulances rushed both the shooter and the victim to Bellevue Hospital’s trauma unit. Operated on in parallel stalls, Nosair survived but Kahane expired.

After the killing, Abouhalima and Salameh regrouped at Nosair’s home in Cliffside Park, New Jersey.  But they were taken into custody by the NYPD later as material witnesses.The house was raided early the next day. Detectives and FBI agents seized forty-seven boxes in the raid—boxes that included prima facie evidence of an international bombing conspiracy with the World Trade Center as a target. Among the files seized was a potential “hit list” of prominent Jewish figures, among them federal judge Jack B. Weinstein, who would go on to play a prominent role in the suppression of key al Qaeda-related evidence by the FBI and Southern District prosecutors six years later.

Nosair’s Oldsmobile was later found on Second Avenue, three blocks away from where it was originally parked, suggesting that it had been moved by somebody after the shooting. But later that day, November 6th, the NYPD’s chief of detectives, Joseph Borelli, concluded that the Kahane murder was a “lone gunman” shooting. The evidence was immediately impounded by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, which ultimately tried the case as a local murder.

The conventional wisdom, as expressed in several books dealing with the Kahane murder, is that Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau simply acquiesced to Borelli’s hasty assessment.. The Congressional Joint Inquiry tasked with examining intelligence failures leading up to 9/11 concluded that “The NYPD and the District Attorney’s office . . . reportedly wanted the appearance of speedy justice and a quick resolution to a volatile situation. By arresting Nosair, they felt they had accomplished both.”

         As I noted myself in 1000 Years for Revenge, the prosecutors were eager to avoid a “show trial.” especially after Nosair “lawyered up” with the celebrated attorney William Kuntsler
