Sunday September 30, 11:14 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Newsweek Two Saudi-Funded Charities Used By bin Laden to Finance His Operations Were Left Off the U.S. Sanctions List to Avoid Embarrassing the Saudis Bush Strategists Now See Few Afghan Targets for Long-Range Bombing; Blasting Pickup Trucks Mounted With Machine Guns, Rocket Launchers 'Like Trying to Hit Pony Express' NEW YORK, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Although two inter-related global charities directly financed by the Saudi government -- the International Islamic Relief Organization and the Muslim World League -- have been used by terrorist leader Osama bin Laden to finance his operations, both organizations were left off the list of groups sanctioned by the U.S. last week, intelligence officials tell Newsweek, in order to avoid embarrassing the Saudi government. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010929/HSSA004 ) Another organization dropped from the list despite being known as a bin Laden front was the Rabita Trust for the Rehabilitation of Stranded Pakistanis, with the president of Pakistan, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, on its board. Intelligence officials tell Newsweek that Washington gave Musharraf 36 hours to quit, but when he didn't, the Rabita Trust was quietly dropped from the list, reports Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas in the October 8 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 1). In a separate article, Foreign Editor Michael Hirsh and National Security Correspondent John Barry report that the U.S. will aggressively send in special forces in Afghanistan, perhaps Navy SEALs or Green Berets, hoping to grab bin Laden as he runs and to seize the computer disks that presumably contain the secrets to his global network. Sources tell Newsweek that the Bush administration originally leaned toward a long-range bombing attack on Afghanistan, but has come to realize that the country has even fewer targets than the hard-to-hit tanks in Kosovo. The terrorist camps have emptied; the only good military targets, apart from a few TV and radar stations, militia headquarters and fuel dumps, are the Taliban's ``cavalry'' of pickup trucks mounted with machine guns and rocket launchers. Going after those, says a senior Defense official, would be ``like trying to hit the Pony Express,'' Newsweek reports. (Read Newsweek's news releases at http://www.Newsweek.MSNBC.com.
