HEADLINE; GERMANY SUSPECTS SAUDI ARABIA OF SUPPORTING ISLAMIST TERRORISTS

BODY:

Saudi Arabia is coming close to being regarded as "a rogue state", the German news magazine Der Spiegel reports.
It says suspicions about a Saudi diplomat in Germany helping suspected terrorists and generally-held concerns
regarding Saudi funding of international terrorism have resulted in the security authorities taking an interest in Saudis
and their representations is Germany. The following is excerpt from Holger Stark report by German news magazine
Der Spiegel on 3 August entitled "Generous gifts":
The dark limousine of the Corps Diplomatique slid out of the garage of the Saudi representation at Berlin's
Kurfuerstendamrn. One of the attaches of the embassy, who drove the car himself, squeezed through the dense
afternoon traffic into the direction of the television tower. In Neue Kanlstrasse he let a passenger get out and
disappeared - just in time; just a few minutes later the Federal Office of Criminal Investigations took action and arrested
the passenger, an Islamist from Tunisia. He bad reportedly planned an attack in Germany togather with other suspects.
The Saudi diplomat's role in the terror plot is still unclear. However, shortly after the police action, Attache
Mohammed J. Faklhi, officially accredited as head of the "Islamic Department", wajjcecalledja-Riyndh .althe_ead of
-Mareh^Jhe- federal eovernment bad massively urged this move.
Tho diplomatic trouble marks a turning point ul relations between the two sates: ts of now the Saudis and their
representations in Germany arc a case for the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). In particular
the Riyadh ministry dealing with religious affairs, which is represented in most embassies, is suspected of "helping"
militant mojahedin abroad "with advice and practical support", a German security official says.
The kingdom, which has so far been treated as a partner, is now classified, like Syria, as part of an "Islamic belt",
which poses a threat, Or less diplomatically: Saudi Arabia is getting close to being considered a rogue state.
Like the Americans, the Germans assume that influential supporters from die desert state cultivate ties with the Al-
Qa'idah terrorist organization. Militant Islamists were deliberately provided with money and logistics from the
surroundings of diplomatic representations - and this may still be going on, The suspicion is primarily supported by the
analysis of the Fakihi case. At the beginning, the diplomat was not the focus of interest at aU - however, he repeate'dJy "
came under acruliiy during the observation of a suspected terrorist cell. At one time he met, the suspects in tlw Al-Nur •" )
Mosque in Bcrlin-Neukoelln, which is known as a meeting place cf Islamists; another time they came to his ouh?«-faz-a
chat.

Meanwhile, the investigators consider Fakihl as axmediator ia "financing the^Al-Nur Mosque, which has been
supported with petro-dollars from the officially charitable Al-Haramain Foundationfropj'Riyadh, According to the real
estate registry, two financiers from Riyadh, including thg*jtoactor_of theJotttdattPfTuold shares in the partnership under
the Civil Code that bought the plot of land where the mosque is located in December 2000 for about 1,2m euros.
In any case, the mosque community has developed to the fundamentalists' liking. According to investigators,
agitation against Israel and the United States was followed by talk about an attack against US facilities. Searches
revealed a "Glock" handgun and wiring diagrams for the construction of an igniter. Now the federal prosecutor-general's
office is investigating six people for forming a terrorist association. The main suspect reportedly worked as a trainer for
Al-Qa'idah. The imam of the mosque rejects any charges against his house,
The German findings correspond to those in other countries. In connection with the US investigation report on the
11 September attacks, the al-Haramain Foundation, is also cited as camouflage for the financing of radical Islamists; in
Kenya its office was closed because of contacts with Al-Qa'idah, in Bosnia its accounts were frozen. In the United
States relatives of victims havo already sued the foundation for damages. (Passage omitted)

Muslim Missionary: HOW a Diplomat From Saudi Arabia Spread His Faith
German investigators Link Mr. Faklhi to Extremists; An Eye on Eastern Europe
His Business Card was a Clue
The wall Street Journal
Copyright CO 2003, DOW 3ones & company, Inc.
Wednesday, September 10, 2003

By David Crawford
special to The wall Street Journal
BERLIN -- As head of the Islamic Affairs Department at the Saudi
Embassy here, Muhammad Jaber Fakihi was responsible for explaining Saudi
religious views and assisting Muslims in need. These were some of his
activities after arriving in June 2000: , .
He frequented a Berlin mosque favored by Islamic extremists and
attended on occasion by members of the now-notorious Hamburg eel i that
helped mount the sept. 11 terrorist attacks, German investigators said.
Mr. Fakihi, now 32 years old, channeled more than $1 million to the
mosque, where Muslim clerics have preached intolerance of non-Musnms,
the investigators said.
According to a letter reviewed by The wall street Journal, Mr. Fakihi
told his superiors in saudi Arabia that his ultimate goal was to turn
Berlin into an Islamic proselytizing center for Eastern Europe. And
German officials said they believe he met earlier.this year with a
Tunisian man under investigation here for possessing bomb-making
materials and a handbook for brewing poisons.
Mr. Fakihi's tenure in Berlin shows one way the puritanical version of
Islam espoused by Saudi religious and government leaders can be spread.
Behind the suave princes who decry terrorism and present a reassuring
face to the west, men such as Mr. Fakihi -- saudi government officials,
employees of Saudi charities and others - disseminate a view of Islam
that derides "nonbelievers" and disparages the U.S. and western culture.
saudi government spokesmen deny the country encourages intolerance.
But for years, the oil-rich kingdom has funded religious,schools,
seminars and charities that spread fundamentalist islam in the wodie
East, south Asia and Europe. American and European officials nave saia
that this kind of Islamic belief has helped foster hatred toward the
West and in some extreme cases, such as the al Qaeda organization,
bloody acts of terrorism.
Mr. Fakihi hasn't been accused of involvement with terrorism, He
returned to saudi Arabia in March, after the discovery of his business
card last year among the possessions of a man convicted in Germany or
aiding the Sept. 11 hijackers. Mr. Fakihi couldn't be reached for
comment in saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Embassy in Berlin didn't .respond to requests for comment.

calls to the saudi government in Riyadh were returned by an American
public-relations consultant in Washington. The consultant, who asked not
to be identified by name or described as a Saudi spokesman, said Mr.
Fakihi's activities in Berlin had been audited and found to be proper.
"He did nothing wrong," the consultant said.
The consultant said the premise that Mr. Fakihi P erso
efforts to spread an intolerant faith "is dead .wrong. He added:
do not confuse the acts of a few individuals with tfie beliefs and deeds
of the entire Saudi people. When you paint Saudi Arabia with a broad
brush, you can't say its people are anti-American or anti-Western.
Mr. Fakihi arrived in Berlin in 3une 2000, after studying Islamic law
at the King Saud university in Riyadh. A slim man with a bushy beard, he
helped Muslims in Germany make the sacred pilgrimage to Islam s holy
sites in Mecca and Medina. He also supplied Muslims here with German
translations of the Quran and other religious literature.
Muslim friends of Mr, Fakihi in Germany, most. of whom spoke on the
condition of anonymity, said that he spoke neither German nor English.
He led a relatively insular existence because he resisted fraternizing
with non-Muslims -- and even with most other Muslims in Germany, whom he
considered too spiritually lax. Most of Germany's 3.5 million Muslims
are Turks who follow a version of Islam more moderate than that espoused
by observant Saudis.
Mr. Fakihi's post at the Saudi Embassy was the equivalent of a
cultural attache. But his friends said he wouldn't attend concerts,
plays or movies, primarily because he feared any exposure to muslc< ,n
which some orthodox Muslims avoid. He adhered to a fundamentalist strain
of the religion promoted by Saudi Arabia and often referred to as
wahhabism. The name alludes to Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-wahhab, the leader
of a puritan Islamic revival in the 18th century. Mr. Fakihi s strict
fidelity to wahhabism prevented him from entering a car if the radio was
playing because of the chance that music might come on, his friends
said.
Not all of his views were consistent, however. His friends said that
Mr. Fakihi vociferously urged them to boycott American goods, as a
symbol of resistance to a culture he viewed as corrupt and decadent.
still, the diplomat couldn't shake his strong affection for coca-cola,
which he drank every day, his friends said, despite their jokes about
the contradiction.
Mr. Fakihi's wife, Maryam, is a school teacher, a profession in short .
supply in Saudi Arabia, so the government had her remain behind in tneir
home country, with the couple's daughter. The diplomat was lonely, his
friends said, and he found solace in an Arab restaurant called saTsabil .
The place was known for its authentic home cooking and for not serving
alcohol, which observant Muslims avoid. Every day, Mr. Fakihi ordered
lamb stew with rice, a favorite dish his mother had made, the
restaurant's owner, Houssam Nahouli, said.
Mr. Nahouli and some of his employees were members of Berlin's Al-Nur
Mosque, which became Mr. Fakihi's favorite place of worship, too, his
friends said. The small mosque is located in a district known fo^its
mix of immigrants and counterculture German youth. Most of Al-Nur s
worshipers are from Arab countries, and it stands out from predominantly
Turkisn mosques in that it hews to a more orthodox form of Islam,
according to German government investigators.
By the late 1990s, the mosque hosted preachers who justified violence
in the name of defending Islam, the investigators said, wohamed Atta,
thought to be the lead Sept. 11 hijacker, and other members of .the
Hamburg cell visited the mosque during this period, the investigators

office to the mosque, proposed that Al-Nur carry the word of is! am to
Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, the last of /which once belonged
to the Islamic Caliphate under Ottoman Empire rule.
The letter cautioned about the need to prepare for times of "conflict"
between Muslims and unspecified "others, ".although the context implied
that he wasn't referring to violent conflict. The.letter recommended
purchasing real estate to house an enlarged Islamic center in Berlin,
noting that "property ownership is more secure, and offers greater n
guarantees should it come to a conflict between Muslims and the others.
it couldn't be determined what response Mr. Fakihi received to his
letter.
The Washington-based consultant to the Saudi government said the
diplomat's aid to the mosque was modest. An audit of the accounts at tne
Saudi Embassy in Berlin revealed that Mr. Fakihi distributed a _ total or
less than $5,000 in government money during his entire tenure in Be [Mn,
the consultant said. "His job was to provide copies of the M Quran, prayer
rugs, and to support the celebration of Islamic festivals, the
consultant added. "He wasn't in a position to provide funding for a
mosque."
But German investigators said Mr. Fakihi arranged for Saudi

example is the Riyadh-base<jl-Haramain Foundation>which investigators

matter with him. The London complex is run by Wimad A!-Dubayan, Mr.
Fakihi's predecessor as saudi cultural attache rn--sarliiL__ ^
Mr. Dubayan said his operation provides guidance for Britain's Muslim
community on issues such as marriage and divorce. The mosque, he said,
is not a saudi government institution, it has representatives from 23
countries serving on its supervisory board, he said. "I don't represent
saudi Arabia," Mr. Dubayan said. But the London mosque and Mr. Dubayan
have close ties to Saudi-government-backed charities, such as the Muslim
World League, according to the league's web site.
Mr. Dubayan left the Saudi Embassy in Berlin three years ago. But a
senior German intelligence official said he remained a Saudi diplomat
until early this year, it was only then that Mr. Dubayan returned his
diplomatic accreditation, the German official said.
During Mr. Fakihi's more than two years in Berlin, Mr. Dubayan served
as his mentor and met regularly with the younger man. according to a
saudi friend of Mr. Fakihi's familiar with the relationship, in fact,
the expansion of the Al-Nur mosque was a project conceived by Mr.
Dubayan, the friend said. Mr. Dubayan arranged for this friend to assist
Mr. Fakihi in writing the Al-Nur proposal and other important letters.
Mr. Dubayan didn't respond to requests for comment on his relationship
with Mr. Fakihi,
The Al-Nur project stalled after sept. 11, 2001. During a German
government investigation of Islamic extremism, Mr. Fakihi's business
card turned up among the possessions of Mr. Motassadeq, the man
convicted of aiding the sept. 11 hijackers. Investigators said they
believe Mr. Fakihi met Mr. Motassadeq at the Al-Nur mosque or the
Salsabil restaurant. But the investigators said they don't think Mr.
Fakihi assisted the hijackers. "We never took notice of Mr. Fakihi until
the card was found," a senior German intelligence official said. The
Saudi Embassy said last November that it had had no contact with Mr.
Motassadeq.
By December, the German government's suspicion of Mr. Fakihi was
unmistakable, visitors to his Berlin home said they had to walk past
police guards, and investigators sometimes watched him from an unmarked
car as he ate in his favorite restaurant. Friends who joined him for
these meals said he told them that the Germans were "conducting a
terrorism investigation."
On March 20, German police tailing a 32-year-old Tunisian, Ihsan
Garnoaui, saw their quarry in a car with diplomatic license plates,
investigators said. Mr. Garnoaui is under investigation for possessing
bomb-making materials and a handbook for making poisons. German
investigators said they believe Mr. Fakihi was driving the car with
diplomatic plates. The investigators said they believe the pair also had
first met at the Al-Nur mosque or the Salsabil restaurant.
The Tunisian was arrested on March 20, within minutes of leaving the
car. He is in pretrial detention. A senior German investigator said Mr.
Garnoaui had visited the saudi Embassy in Berlin earlier that day to
apply for a visa. Mr. Garnoaui couldn't be reache/
The imam, or prayer leader, of the Al-Nur mosquey^alem El RafgV, was
arrested on the evening of March 20. German federal police Searched his
home and the mosque, according to the imam's lawyer, Matthias Zieger,
Mr. Zieger said his client is innocent of any wrongdoing but is under
investigation for membership in a terrorist group and for supporting a
terrorist group. The cleric was released after being held overnight. Mr.
Zieger said he has no knowledge of Mr. Fakihi, the Al-Haramain
Foundation or activities at the mosque.
Two days after the arrests, on March 22, the German Foreign Ministry,

following a recommendation from the country's domestic-intelligence

service, told the saudi Embassy that Mr. Fakihi's diplomatic
accreditation would be withdrawn unless he left the country, according
to a senior German official. I,
That same day, Mr. oubayan flew in from London and met Mr. Fakihi at
Berlin's intercontinental Hotel, one of Mr. Fakihi's friends said. Mr,
oubayan didn't respond to requests for comment about this meeting. The
next day, Mr. Fakihi took a flight to Riyadh.
The Saudi government consultant in Washington said Mr. Fakihi was
never formally asked to leave Germany and that Germany has never
informed Saudi Arabia about any Investigation of Mr, Fakihi. The Saudi
consultant said Mr. Fakihi was questioned by saudi officials upon his
return to Riyadh and was cleared of any wrongdoing. The German Foreign
Ministry declined to comment.
Reunited with his wife and child in Riyadh, Mr. Fakihi has telephoned
at least twice to Berlin to say that he is doing fine, his friends said.
He has told friends he isn't under investigation at home. Allegations
that he inappropriately channeled money to the Al-Nur mosque are
"nonsense," he has told these friends.
