Reply #15: Ambramoff's client Saleh Abdullah Kamel

[petgoat]

has some interesting connections.

He owns Dallah Avco, a Saudi aviation company with ties to the Saudi
Ministry of Defense and Aviation. Dallah Avco paid $3000 a month to
Omar al-Bayoumi in San Diego even though he didn't seem to do much.
Some suspected he was a spy assigned to watch Saudi college students
in the area.

Some time before March of 2000, the wife of Prince "Bandar Bush," the
Saudi ambassador, starts sending checks to a Saudi in San Diego who
signs some of them over to the wife of Omar al-Bayoumi. In January
2000, al-Bayoumi drives to Los Angeles to visit the consul. He meets
two of the alleged 9/11 hijackers, Alhazmi and Almihdhar, at a
restaurant (accidentally, he says) and offers to help them move to San
Diego. He cosigns the lease on their apartment. His $500 a month
salary from the Saudi civil authority increases to $3000.

Senator Bob Graham's book "Intelligence Matters" says al-Bayoumi was a
Saudi intelligence agent.

While al-Bayoumi was in San Diego, an anonymous benefactor provided
$450,000 for purchase of a building for a Kurdish mosque on condition
that al-Bayoumi be made the maintenance man with a private office.
(A Saudi for a Kurdish mosque?) News articles note that tax-exempt
mosques are ideal for money laundering.
