How Much Did Al-Qaeda Pay for the Entire 9/11 Operation?
Al-Qaeda paid for flight training, travel, and over a year's residence in the U.S.—without triggering suspicious activity reports.
On September 6, 2001, Fayez Ahmed, a muscle man who played a role in hijacking United Airlines Flight 175, transferred $8,055 from his Florida SunTrust account to an account belonging to Mustafa al Hawsawi. Hawsawi, one of the two main financial facilitators of the 9/11 operation, used this money to aid the hijackers. Over the course of two weeks prior to 9/11, Hawsawi sent a total of around $65,000 to the two financiers in the UAE.
He was also responsible for sending money to Zacarias Moussaoui, another individual involved in the attacks.
