| [DAWN] the late Osama bin Laden ... who has left the building... had prior knowledge of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He wanted to establish an Al Qaeda state in Pakistain following the breakout of full-scale war between the two nuclear armed neighbours. These revelations were made in the recently published book 'Pakistain's secret war on Al-Qaeda', written by Azaz Syed, an investigative journalist and a former correspondent for DawnNews. The first chapter in the book reveals the untold story of Khalid Sheikh Muhammed (KSM), a close aide of Osama bin Laden and the criminal mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. Based on interviews of KSM's Pak controllers and Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligenceagency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir... (ISI) officials who were involved in his capture and subsequent interrogation, previously unknown details about KSM's life and activities have come to the forefront. According to the book, Major General Ehtesham Zameer of the ISI had received a tip off from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) about the expected arrival of a high value target at Islamabad airport. The target was a Saudi financier of the 9/11 attacks, and was tailed by ISI operatives to a house in Rawalpindi. The house in question belonged to one Dr Abdul Qudoos, who had befriended KSM in Germany and Sudan. |

| #3 I am curious as to whether this individual is still walking the earth, and if so, why? He made a series of donations to the "Pak Military Widows and Orphans Fund?" |
