Secret Service agents guarding the President during his visit to Sarasota, FL. on Sept 11 received a pre-dawn warning that a terrorist attack on America was imminent four hours and thirty-eight minutes before Mohamed Atta flew an airliner into the World Trade Center.
The warning, which proved accurate, also contained information that President George W. Bush might be a target for assassination that morning as well.
And indeed there was an attempt to assassinate Pres. Bush in Sarasota on the morning of Sept. 11., the MadCowMorningNews has learned.
But, perhaps because of the potentially explosive identity of the person named in the warning, authorities have, ever since, been assiduously covering it up.
Pre-dawn cold sweat?
The drama began when a Middle Eastern native residing in Sarasota named Zainlabdeen Omer contacted local police the night before the attack.
Omer said that a friend of his, who had made violent threats against the President in the past, had just arrived in Sarasota, thirty miles north on Florida's Gulf Coast from Venice, the home-away-from-home of Mohamed Atta's terrorist cadre.
In the police report obtained by the MadCowMorningNews the man Omer is warning authorities about is identified only as "Ghandi."
"Ghandi" reportedly told Omer he was in town to get a friend out of jail. But since the President was staying in Sarasota too, Omer feared that there was a connection.
He told Sarasota police that "Ghandi" might be in Sarasota to kill the President.
Sarasota Police immediately called in the Secret Service.
"You're not cleared for ANY of this information."
When local reporters got wind of the story in the days following the attack, oddly enough the Secret Service dismissed the warning as "just coincidental" to Sept 11.
But according to the eyewitness testimony of a local fire captain, Longboat Key Fire Marshall Carroll Mooneyhan, who was at the front desk of the Colony Beach Resort that morning as President Bush prepared for his morning jog, the warning proved accurate several hours later.
Mooneyhan told reporter Shay Sullivan of the Longboat Observer that at about 6 a.m. on Sept. 11 a van carrying Middle Eastern men tried to gain entry to the Colony Beach Resort, where Bush was staying.
The Middle Eastern men identified themselves as a television news crew with an appointment with the President.
They claimed they had a "poolside" interview scheduled with the President, and asked for a Secret Service agent by name, Mooneyhan said.
The van was turned back by suspicious Secret Service agents at the guard station in front of the Colony Beach Resort, who told the men to contact the President’s public relations office in Washington D.C.
But the Secret Service has not acknowledged the obvious… which is that the ruse used at the Colony Resort on Longboat Key to attempt to gain access to Pres. Bush is exactly the same as that used just two days earlier to successfully assassinate Afghan Northern Alliance leader Shah Masood.
Masood had granted an interview to a television crew whose camera exploded when it was turned on, killing Masood and two suicide bombers disguised as journalists.
Given the identical modus operandi and the massive terrorist attack which occurred just two hours later that morning, the Secret Service is no doubt lying, or at least issuing statements that will later be rendered inoperative, when they say the warning was "just a coincidence."
This incident, clearly, was not a breakdown in media relations.
It was an assassination attempt.
Christian Animists Against the New World Order?
Later that morning Secret Service agents searched an apartment in Sarasota looking for further corroboration of Omer's account.
Inside they found and arrested three men from Sudan, and took them in for questioning that lasted for the next ten hours, according to one of the three, Fathel Rahman Omer.
Next the Secret Service raided a beauty supply store in Sarasota.
The owner of the store, identified only as "Hakim," had information about "Ghandi," the man who came to Sarasota on the same day as the President.
Hakim identified 'Ghandi' as a member of the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army, or S.P.L.A., a Christian and animist group fighting against the fundamentalist Muslim government in Sudan, itself closely allied with the Taliban and Al Queda.
Hakim's story seems to make no sense.
Why would an operative battling a fanatic fundamentalist Islamic government want to murder George W. Bush?
We tried to find out.
But, as it happens, the key witnesses are all missing.
"Forget the money. Follow the bodies."
A few days after the Secret Service questioned the owner of the beauty supply store, reported Monica Yadov of Sarasota's ABC News 40, it was suddenly closed, and the owner, Hakim, was gone.
Said Greg Breslich, owner of North Trail Liquors next door, "We always thought there was something strange about the operation of that establishment. We saw a lot of people go in there, but didn’t see anyone come out with beauty supplies."
Where is the man who accurately warned of an assassination attempt, Zainelabdeen Omer?
You'll never guess.
He's missing too.
After Zainelabadeen Omer went to federal authorities with his information, he quickly quit his jobs, and left his Sarasota apartment.
"All I know is he can’t leave town," a friend of Omers’ told reporter Monica Yadov. "Omer got in a lot of trouble with the law."
"So you think he’s still somewhere?" Yadov asked.
"Should be," shrugged Omer’s friend, who insisted on anonymity.
"If he’s still alive."
When Yadov took the story to the Secret Service for comment, the Special Agent in charge of the Presidential detail in Sarasota said that the President was never in any danger while he was in Sarasota.
The agent said the connection to the SPLA, and the warning that the Secret Service got just before the terrorist attack was all "just a coincidence."
The Secret Service's deliberate stonewalling leads to questions about what other assistance the group may have provided to the ongoing and massive cover-up in place in Florida.
Consider: It was Bush brother Jeb Bush who flew out of Sarasota aboard a C-130 loaded with files about the Venice flight schools which trained the terrorist cadre.
Did the Secret Service help with this get-away project? Were they controlling access into and out of the Sarasota Airport?
"Didn't we tell you to stay away from that stuff?"
Where are these missing witnesses?
The Secret Service says they don’t know.
Is Omer being detained? The INS won’t say.
What's the reason for all the official silence?
The answer may lie in the identity of the mysterious "Ghandi," whose name may have been deliberately misspelled by authorities, a tactic which has previously been used by authorities to conceal inconvenient knowledge in everything from the Kennedy assassination to the Vince Foster investigation.
That the man whose presence in Sarasota was obviously a part of the Sept 11th conspiracy and Presidential assassination attempt shares the same last name as a revered Indian pacifist seems more than just a little "over the top."
It seems downright absurd.
But it wouldn't be absurd if his real name wasn't "Ghandi'' but "Al- Ghamdi."
It would actually make perfect sense…because if the man who threatened the life of George W. Bush in Sarasota on September 11th was named "Alghamdi," he would join three other men with the same last name who have already been identified as being part of the terrorist conspiracy.
Three men named Alghamdi were among the nineteen hijackers.
Curiously, all three listed on their drivers' licenses a home address at the Pensacola Naval Air Station.
All three are now, presumably, very much dead.
But there is yet another Alghamdi… still very much alive.
And this fourth Alghamdi, authorities believe, was also involved in the Sept 11th terrorist conspiracy.
And wait till you hear what we've learned about him.
