Funding behind 9/11 still a mystery
/Despite almost three years pursuing the
September 11 "money trail", investigators remain in the dark about who
financed the 2001 al-Qa'ida strike on the US that killed 2973 people.
The final report of the September 11 commission indicates that the FBI,
CIA and numerous US and foreign intelligence agencies failed to find a
definitive answer as to who paid for the attacks. "To date, the US
Government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used
for the 9/11 attacks," the report said. "The origin of the funds
remains unknown, although we have a general idea of how al-Qa'ida
financed itself during the period leading up to 9/11." [more]
