Al Qaeda Financing Documents Turn Up in Bosnia Raid: Saudi Role Highlighted
(AP/FOX News) U.S. authorities recovered a list of 20 financiers they suspect funneled money to Osama bin Laden and other extremist Muslim causes among a cache of documents seized in March 2002 from the Bosnian offices of the Benevolence International Foundation, an Illinois-based Muslim charity, according to an unsealed court document. Handwritten notes detail the original formation of al Qaeda, including minutes of an Aug. 11, 1988, meeting bin Laden held to discuss "the establishment of a new military group." Those notes record bin Laden's own statements on the efforts to recruit members from Saudi Arabia for his network and to raise money.
