Editing Bojinka plot (section)

==Financing==
Funding for the Bojinka plot came from [[Osama bin Laden]], [[Hambali]], and front organizations operated by [[Mohammed Jamal Khalifa]] (bin Laden's brother-in-law).

[[Wali Khan Amin Shah]] was the financier of the plot. He funded the plot by [[Money laundering|laundering money]] through his girlfriend and other [[Manila]] women, several of whom were bar hostesses and one of whom was an employee at a [[KFC]] restaurant. They were bribed with gifts and holiday trips so that they would open bank accounts to stash funds.

The transfers were small, equivalent to about 12,000 to 24,000 [[Philippine peso]]s ($500 to $1,000 US), and would be handed over each night at a [[Wendy's]] or a [[karaoke]] bar. The funds went to "Adam Sali," an [[pseudonym|alias]] used by Ramzi Yousef. The money came through a Filipino bank account owned by [[Jordan]]ian [[Abu Qatada al-Filistini|Omar Abu Omar]], who worked at the International Relations and Information Centre, an Islamic organization run by Mohammed Jamal Khalifa.<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell">{{Cite news |last=Brzezinski |first=Matthew |date=January 2, 2002 |title=Operation Bojinka's bombshell |url=https://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar%2FLayout%2FArticle_PrintFriendly&c=Article&cid=1009926464027 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020614124327/http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar%2FLayout%2FArticle_PrintFriendly&c=Article&cid=1009926464027 |archive-date=June 14, 2002 |access-date=August 24, 2017 |work=[[Toronto Star]]}}</ref>

A company called [[Konsojaya]] also provided financial assistance to the Manila cell by laundering money to it.

Wali Khan Amin Shah was on the board of directors of the company.
