Researchers and investigators have uncovered links between a Miami bank that collapsed in 2002 amid a fraud scandal that was highlighted by billions of dollars in questionable cash and fraudulent loans and money movements linked to the Bush family and businesses linked to funding pilot training for the 9-11 hijackers.

After the collapse of Hamilton Bank of Miami, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an entity that WMR has reported has been transformed by the Bush administration from a regulatory agency into an investment center, and the Israel Discount Bank assumed liability for the insured accounts. The FDIC assumed liability for half the accounts and the Israel Discount Bank took over the other half. Three Hamilton branches were reopened by the Israeli bank as "IDC." Insiders report that Hamilton Bank was involved in joint (and possibly rogue) U.S.-Israeli intelligence and money laundering operations.

In 2002, The Miami Herald reported that bags of cash from Latin American political leaders would routinely be flown to Hamilton Bank for money laundering. The Herald reported that one of Hamilton's customers was then-Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso. Hamilton maintained an office in Panama. According to court documents filed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Hamilton's dubious loans to Maximo Haddad, the owner of the Mexican construction firm PYCSA that built a private toll road in Panama and the owner of two offshore companies, Perpetual International Holdings and Alderly Management; Manuel Cohen, the Panamanian Consul General in Miami and the managing director of Alexander H Finance Co.; failed banks in El Salvador and Ecuador; Metrobank International (Vanuatu); Metrobank Panama, and a Florida drapery and window covering firm with subsidiaries in Texas, Venezuela, Brazil, El Salvador, Australia, Mexico, Spain, and Puerto Rico "appeared to have no legitimate business purposes.'' Hamilton Bank has been described by intelligence insiders as a front operation for intelligence-related activities that may include, in addition to money laundering, weapons and drug smuggling.

Now defunct Hamilton Bank: Interesting clients As previously reported by WMR last July (Intelligence Whispers), "In 1995, a $10 million transfer was made to Houston. The source was the Saudi Royal family. The funds were transferred to Nations Bank via Banca Svizzera Italiana via SWIFT. On September 28, 1995, a $50,000 check was cashed at Nation's Bank of Pasadena, Texas. It allegedly originated from the $10 million of transferred funds from Saudi Arabia and the payee was "Fayyaz Ahmed." Fayyaz Ahmed, aka Fayez Ahmad, was also named as one of the hijackers aboard United 175 that crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center . .

1. Wow, amazing

"It allegedly originated from the $10 million of transferred funds from Saudi Arabia and the payee was "Fayyaz Ahmed." Fayyaz Ahmed, aka Fayez Ahmad, was also named as one of the hijackers aboard United 175 that crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center..."

2. show me!

" Fayyaz Ahmed, aka Fayez Ahmad, was also named as one of the hijackers aboard United 175 that crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center."

WHEN? WHERE? BY WHOM?

Official list for 175 has a Fayez RASHID. Madsen: "Ahmad also used the aliases Banihammad Fayez Abu Dhabi Banihammad, Fayez Rushed Ahmed, Banihammad Fayez, Rasid Ahmed Hassen Alqadi, Abu Dhabi Banihammad Ahmed Fayez, with the FBI officially tagging him as one Fayez Rashid Ahmed Hassan al Qadi Banihammad."

What's the source for these assertions? Where does Madsen get the list of aliases? Where does the FBI list this particular name in this form (I can only find Fayez Rashid on an FBI list), and how does Madsen connect it to the alias list for his Fayez Ahmad?

Let's keep in mind that the identities of the listed alleged hijackers have never been resolved (let alone who was or wasn't on the planes). Until shown otherwise, I suspect Madsen doesn't know for sure what he's claiming.

Saudis cast doubt over FBI list of hijackers

by Sami Aboudi, Reuters, 19 Sept 2001



DUBAI, Sept 19 (Reuters) -- Saudi officials and media have cast doubt on the credibility of a list of 19 suspects named by U.S. investigators as suicide hijackers, saying some of them are alive and innocent.

...

The apparent errors over the names have strengthened a belief in the Gulf that the real attackers used false or stolen passports and documents. A Saudi Foreign Ministry official said on Wednesday authorities in the kingdom had doubts about the list, just before Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal flew to Washington to help U.S. efforts to hunt the perpetrators of the attacks.

...

Saudi newspapers have published interviews and pictures of at least five of those who appeared on the FBI list since it was released on Friday.

...

"The name (reported by the FBI) is my name and the birth date is the same as mine, but I am not the one who bombed the World Trade Center in New York," Abdulaziz Alomari, one of the suspects on the list, told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper. Born on December 24, 1972, Alomari was interviewed in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. It quoted him as saying that he left the United States in April 2000 and that he was at his Riyadh office at the time of the bombings of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The pan-Arab newspaper, which published a picture of Alomari on its website (www.alsharqalawsat.com), said the U.S.-educated engineer lost his passport when his apartment in Denver, Colorado was burgled in 1995 and had reported the loss to police at that time.

Saudi journalists who had investigated the FBI list said at least five people on the list had been contacted by journalists or had come forward to deny involvement in the attacks. Ahmed Alshehri, a diplomat at the foreign ministry, told the al-Eqtisadiah newspaper that details given by the FBI of one of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, which destroyed the north tower of the World Trade Center, matched those of his son, Waleed, though the name was slightly different. Alshehri said his son, a pilot with Saudi Arabian Airlines, was now alive and well in Morocco. He said his son had graduated four years ago from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
