Al Qaeda Bought and Tested American Jet Airplanes - 2018 - Update December 20 2019

In March 2018 financiers of arms for Al Qaeda affiliates, acquired an american made jet airplane. To enable this transaction they used an american company owned by an unsuspected (unwary?) person with dual citizenship.

Both for tax reasons as well as hiding the end-beneficiaries, its common for international private jet buyers to initially register the plane in the U.S..

The Cover -

Before the airplane was acquired the company was purposely involved into deferred delivery government contracts valued at hundreds of US$ millions that needed end-user certificates, received a US government (MIL) clearance and paid a multi million US$ brokerage commission. A commission of which a small part was used to pay for the plane.

Look for the smaller deals justified by the cover of other large amount transactions

Testing -

In April 2018 the airplane was flown to another continent and for three months extensively tested to see if it could meet its objective. Tests included and passed, to weaponize the plane and escape detection.

Creation of a legal money flow -

The plane returned to the U.S. in July 2018 where it is temporarily rented out as a medium range private jet charter, which incidentally also creates a steady and legal money flow in the U.S.
