Her father owns retail toy stores in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the

has current contact with OSAMA bin-Ladin. The Saudi Arabian
government had revoked OSAMA bin-Ladin's passport many years ago,
possibly in the early 1980's, around the Soviet, Afghan war. At the
time that OSAMA bin-Ladin was disowned by the family, he (OSAMA bin-
Ladin) was given a percentage of the family business. TAMARA
BINLADIN was unable to approximate the portion of the family business
provided to OSAMA bin-Ladin.

Akberali Mohemedali Moawalla, |

was interviewed at Piedmont Hawthorne Aviation, 23411 Autopilot Drive,


Dulles Airport, VA. After being advised of the identity of the
interviewing agents and the purpose of the interview, Moawalla provided
the following information:

He was currently traveling on a charter flight with Shafig


bin Laden who is the half brother of Osama bin Laden. Moawalla
traveled from London to Boston on 9/10/01 where he stayed at the Four
Seasons Hotel. During his stay in Boston, Moawalla met with
representatives from Wellington Management. He was scheduled to return
to London on British Airways on 9/16/01. However, after the terrorists
attacks of 9/11/01, all flights were cancelled and he could not return
as scheduled. Moawalla was contacted by the bin Laden family and
advised that a charter was being hired to leave the U.S. Moawalla then
came to D.C. and stayed at the Park Hyatt Hotel, 1201 24th Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C., telephone 202/789-1234. He thought that the
Saudi Arabian Embassy had suggested to the bin Laden family that they
leave the U.S. for safety reasons because of their relationship to
Osama bin Laden. Moawalla believed that the Saudi Arabian Embassy made
the arrangements for the charter flight and had coordinated everything
with the U.S. government.
From its origination in Los Angeles, CA today, the plane was
scheduled to make stops en route to pick up various bin Laden family
members, including several children and students. According to
Moawalla, the children were "being taunted at school" because of their
association with the bin Laden family. Moawalla too felt as though he
may be in danger since he' worked for the bin Laden family.

To his knowledge, the charter flight was next scheduled to


stop in Boston, MA to pick up additional passengers, then to Paris for
refueling, and on to Geneva, Switzerland. Moawalla planned to deplane
in Paris and catch a commercial flight to London. Some members of the
bin Laden family were scheduled to deplane in Geneva with others
traveling on to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Moawalla said that Abdullah bin Laden, 'al-sp a half brother of


Os'ama, was coordinating the charter flight with all the-, family members.
He \.was a Harvard Law School graduate currently residing irr| ]
Moawalla was in Boston with Abdullah until Sunday when Moawalla came to
D.C. for the charter flight.
Global Administration, Limited
Global was started in 1990 for the purpose of reviewing
investment proposals for the bin Laden family. There are five Global
employees who serve as investment advisors. This aspect of the bin
Laden family business is managed by Shafig bin Laden with whom Moawalla
arrived at Piedmont Hawthorne Aviation this evening. Shafig was
described as the President/Owner of Global.
Moawalla has been employed by Global since 1990. He
obtained his,Master of Business Administration (MBA) from University of
Massachusetts, (UM) in 1976. He attended UM- on a student VISA and had a
U.S. Social Security Account Number during that time (number
unrecalled). Moawalla has been a British citizen since 1986. He also
maintains citizenship with Tunisia as well.
As an investment advisor at Global, Moawalla reviewed
proposals for different investments, prepared investment summaries, and
submitted them to .the bin Laden brothers to decide which avenues to
pursue. Once the investment proposals were accepted by the family,
they were then provided to the "professional investment managers".
These investment companies thereafter conducted the financial
transactions at their own discretion based upon the plan proposed by
Moawalla and approved.by the family. Moawalla provided the following
investment firms and his contacts within each:
1. J.P. Morg'an -I
2. Goldman SichsJ
3. Citibank - I
4. Merrill Lynch |_
5. Permal Asset Management!
6. Morgan Stanley - 1
Moawalla has never conducted any financial transactions for
Osama bin Laden. He has no knowledge of any recent transactions to
sell short certain stock holdings in reinsurance companies, investment
companies occupying space in World Trade Center (WTC), and/or airlines,
He did not know with whom Osama bin Laden conducted his financial
transactions. To his knowledge, Osama bin Laden was considered the

"black sheep" of the family. The family "cursed" Osama bin Laden as he
has brought much shame to the family. To his knowledge, the bin Laden
family has never provided any financial assistance to Osama bin Laden
since his exile from Saudi Arabia. Moawalla believed that the news
reports of Osama bin Laden's financial worth being $300 million were
greatly exaggerated. Moawalla believed that Osama bin Laden grew up in
a different household than Shafig bin Laden and many of the 52 bin
Laden children. He did not know nor could he really guess at the net
worth of the bin Laden family. He did not know how the family fortunes
are distributed among the 52 brothers and sisters of the bin Laden
family.
In the early 1990s, the bin Laden family worked with the
Saudi government to build roads throughout the country. Osama bin
Laden did not agree with this activity on the part of his family and
took exception with both his family and the Saudi government. In 1993
or 1994, Saudi Arabia revoked the citizenship of Osama bin Laden.
Moawalla felt certain that the bin Laden family has had no contact with
Osama bin Laden.since that time.
Moawalla explained that in their financial dealings with the
various investment companies' identified above, the bin Laden family had
to provide formal documentation to the investment managers showing that
the bin Laden family did not support or fund Osama bin Laden. These
investment companies then performed their own due diligence to
corroborate the information provided by the family.
Moawalla did not believe that Shafig bin Laden and/or his
brothers had any current relationship with their brother, Osama bin
Laden. Moawalla had no knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade
Center in New York City, New York or the Pentagon in the Washington,
D.C. area. He recognized the magnitude of the tragedy and pledged to
provide any information to which he becomes privy. He did not believe,
that other bin Laden family members had any knowledge of the attacks
beyond that which was reported in the press. Moawalla said that if,
for an instant, he believed that the bin Laden family knew of the
planned terrorists attacks, he would not be working for them.
Moawalla provided the following information about some of the
other passengers listed on the flight manifest:
Najia bin Laden - Osama's sister. Was in LA and is now
returning to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

A consent search of Moawalla's luggage and briefcase was


conducted but no items were retained. Moawalla explained that the
various certificates of commendation to the bin Laden family from U.S.
Department of Defense agencies were part of a public relations matter
on the part of the bin Laden family to show that they assisted the U.S.
in the past and were recognized for thier contributions. During the
Gulf war in the middle east, the bin Laden family assisted in building
roads into Iraq for U.S. troops.
Moawall's briefcase contained a Prospectus from Charles W.
