Osama bin Laden [Numerous sources recount bin Laden's biography. Most of them smack more of propaganda or sensationalism than of rigorous investigation. The best-selling works, such as Bin Laden, The Man Who Declared War on America by Yossef Bodansky (Prima Publishing, 1996) (Bodansky, by the way, is a Congressional consultant) or Au nom d'Oussama ben Laden ("In The Name of Osama Bin Laden"), by Roland Jacquard (Jean Picollec Press, 2001), are based on unpublished intelligence-service reports, thus on unverifiable sources. Some more serious works include those of the PBS magazine Frontline, notably Hunting Bin Laden (2001) and Inside the Terror Network (2002). See transcripts at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages...] is one of the 54 children of Sheikh Muhammad bin Laden, who founded the Saudi Binladen Group (SBG) in 1931. This holding, Saudi Arabia's most important, has half of its turnover in construction and public works, and the other half in engineering, real estate, distribution, telecommunications and publishing. It formed a Swiss investment society, called SICO (Saudi Investment Company), which created several societies with subsidiaries of the Saudi National Commercial Bank. The SBG holds important participations in General Electric, Nortel Networks, and Cadbury Schweppes. Its industrial activities are represented in the USA by Adnan Khashoggi (Mohammed Al-Fayed's former brother-in-law), while its financial holdings are managed by the Carlyle Group. Up until 1996, the [[montages]] of the SBG's subsidiaries were prepared in Lausanne by its advisor, the Nazi banker François Genoud, executor of Dr Goebbels' will and patron of terrorist Carlos [[the Jackal]]. The SBG is inseparable from the Wahhabite regime, to the point where it was the sole official construction and management contractor for the Kingdom's holy places, Makkah and Madinah. Likewise, it got most of the BTP contracts for building US military bases in Saudi Arabia, and for the reconstruction of Kuwait after the Gulf War. After the accidental death of Sheikh Muhammad bin Laden in 1968, he was succeeded by his eldest son Salem. Salem, for his part, also died in an "accidental" plane crash on the way to Texas in 1988. From then on, the SBG has been directed by the founder's second son, Bakr.

We have already noted that the Saudi Binladen Group's financial holdings are managed by the Carlyle Group.
Created in 1987, the Carlyle Group today manages a $12 billion portfolio. It has a majority interest in Seven-Up (who oversees bottling operations for Cadbury Schweppes), Federal Data Corporation (who, for example, furnished the civil air-traffic monitoring systems equipment for the FAA), and United Defence Industries Inc. (the principal furnisher of equipment for the US, Turkish, and Saudi armies). Through the companies it controls, the Carlyle Group is the 11th largest US arms supplier.
In 1990, the Carlyle Group became the subject of an extortion lawsuit. A Republican lobbyist, Wayne Berman, had diverted pension funds and given them to the Bush campaign; one of these had paid a million dollars to the Carlyle Group to obtain a public contract in Connecticut.
This management fund is presided over by Frank C. Carlucci (former CIA assistant director, then Secretary of Defense). Advisors include James A. Baker III (former Reagan chief of staff, then Secretary of the Treasury, finally Secretary of State under Bush père) and Richard Darman (former budget director). To represent it overseas, the Carlyle group retains the services of John Major [John Major Link to Bin Laden Dynasty, Sunday Herald, 7 October 2001], former British Prime Minister, and George H. W. Bush [Bush of Arabia, The Nation, 27 March 2000, and Elder Bush in Big GOP Cast Toiling for Top Equity Firm, New York Times, 5 March 2001] (former CIA director, then President of the United States).
Among the other directors of the Carlyle Group, we find Sami Mubarak Baarma, who is Khaled Ben Mahfouz's authorized representative, and one Talat Othman… two people with direct ties to the current President of the United States.
Indeed, George W. Bush obtained his personal fortune through the good business deals he was able to make as head of the Harken Energy Corporation [which was originally named Arbusto]. This small Texas petroleum company held the Bahraini oil concessions, as a retrocommission of the American-Kuwaiti contracts negotiated by President Bush père [Fuel for Fantasy, Forbes magazine, 3 September 1990, and Ex-Bush Aide Turns to Stumping for Kuwait… While Junior Reaps Oil Windfall, The Guardian, 12 December 1990]. This, of course, is a completely illegal operation.
Khaled Ben Mahfouz was a Harken shareholder to the tune of 11.5%. His actions were "carried out" by one of his representatives, Abdullah Taha Bakhsh. Talat Othman was an administrator. Meanwhile, Osama's eldest brother, Salem, was represented on Harken's board of directors by his American representative, James R. Bath.
This whole little world (the Bush family, their political creditors, their financial partners, and the ineluctable CIA) isn't even done here with their first manipulations [[Tout ce petit monde... n'en sont pas à leurs premières manipulations]]. They were at the center of the huge banking scandal of the 90s: the BCCI collapse [The BCCI scandal has spawned quite a large body of literature. Here we have consulted principally The BCCI Affair, a report by Sens. Joseph Kerry (D-Mass.) and Hank Brown (R-Colo.) to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Subcommitee on Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Operations, 30 September 1992. See the complete text at http://www.fas.org/irp/congre... See also Evil Money, Encounters Along the Money Trail by Rachel Ehrenfeld (Harper Business, 1992); False Profits, The Inside Story of BCCI, The World's Most Corrupt Financial Empire by Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin (Houghton, 1992); A Full-Service Bank, How the BCCI Stole Billions Around the World (Simon and Schuster, 1992); The Outlaw Bank, A Wild Ride Into the Secret Heart of BCCI by Jonathan Beaty and S.C. Gwynne (Random House, 1993); and Bankrupt, The BCCI Fraud by Nick Kochan and Bob Whittington (Victor Gollancz Ltd., 1991)].
The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was an Anglo-Pakistani establishment with branches in 63 countries. It was jointly held by three large families: the Gokals of Pakistan, the Ben Mahfouz family of Saudi Arabia, and the Geith Pharons of Abu Dhabi [The French chargé d'affaires of Geith Pharon, Farid Djouhri, took out a two-page ad in Le Figaro and Le Monde in October of 2001. This communication project was intended to deny any connections between Geith Pharon and Osama bin Laden and to assure its integrity. Nevertheless, the FBI and the IRS still have a warrant out for Gaith Pharon's arrest over the BCCI affair. Gaith Pharon is also involved in a lawsuit in Argentina in an arms-trafficing cadre implicating former president Carlos Menem. See Gaith Pharon s'offre la presse française, Intelligence Online, 18 October 2001, http://www.intelligenceonline...]. Ronald Reagan used it to bribe the Iranian government to delay the release of American hostages from the US Embassy in Tehran, and thus to sabotage the end of Carter's presidency (what was called the "October Surprise"). Then, at the insistence of the former CIA director, Vice-President Bush (père), the Reagan administration used the BCCI again to transfer Saudi donations to the Nicaraguan Contras, and to transfer CIA funds to the Afghan mujahedeen. The BCCI is additionally implicated in the Syrian Sarkis Sarkenalian's arms deals, in the Keating scandal in America, in trader Marc Rich's affairs, in financing the Abu Nidal group, etc. For sure, the bank went down when it came out that the bank was also laundering money for the Medellin cartel. A million small investors were swindled out of their money when the bank shut its doors.
The fact that the BCCI was able to be manipulated, if not actually created, by the CIA, shouldn't come as a surprise. There's a long-standing banking tradition in the US intelligence services, ever since the founding of the OSS by corporate lawyers and Wall Street courtiers. Two former CIA directors, Richard Helms and William Casey, worked at BCCI, just as did two prestigious CIA influence agents [[deux prestigieux agents d'influence de la CIA]], Adnan Khashoggi [Adnan Khashoggi, The Richest Man in the World, by Ronald Kessler (Warner Bros. Books, 1986)] and Manucher Ghorbanifar (the central Irangate trader). Not to mention Kamal Adham (King Faisal's brother-in-law and head of the Saudi secret service until 1977), Prince Turki al-Faisal (head of the Saudi secret service from 1977 until August 2001, tutor to Osama bin Laden), and Abdul Raouf Khalil (adjunct director of Saudi secret service).
If memory serves, you'll note also that the BCCI seems to have played something of a supernatural role in France as well. Notably, it served to disguise the transfer of American/French nuclear technology to Pakistan and to pay for hostage releases. A businessman with close ties to Charles Pasqua, Dominique Santini was ejected from the country for his role in BCCI [L'énigme Pasqua, by Thierry Meyssan (Editions Golias, 2001)], independently of his being sued in France in the Elf-Thinet affair. Three years after the bank's collapse, its former directors acted as intermediaries in getting the Sawari-II contract passed, and they organized a system of retrocommissions which was supposed to finance Edouard Balladur's presidential campaign. The questioning brought forth by this star sale to Saudi Arabia led Jacques Chirac, upon his arrival at the Elysée, to have François Leotard, Edouard Balladur's former Defense Minister, listened in on. [[??]] [[Les interrogations soulevées par cette vente de vedettes à l'Arabie Saoudite conduisirent Jacques Chirac, dès son arrivée à l'Elysée, à faire placer sur écoute l'ancien ministre de la Défense d'Edouard Balladur, François Leotard.]]
The BCCI worked in very close collaboration with SICO [originally called CYGNET], a Swiss investment subsidiary of the SBG, and one will notice one of Osama bin Laden's brothers, Salem, among the ranks of its administrators.
Held solely responsible for the BCCI's failure, Khaled ben Mahfouz was put on trial in the United States in 1992. He managed to have the charges against him dropped in 1995, with the issue of a transaction with the bank's creditors in the amount of $245 million.
If it is the case, as numerous American officials aver, that the bin Laden family continues to maintain relations with Osama and to finance his political activities, then the Carlyle Group, which manages the financial holdings of the Saudi Binladen Group, would necessarily be implicated in insider trading. George Bush père would therefore be one of the lucky beneficiaries of the stock-trading maneuvers of 11 September 2001. A pretty good reason for the FBI and IOSCO to close the shutters on the investigation.
