Clarification of Question by zippy666-ga on 11 Aug 2004 07:01 PDT

If anyone has an answer to either A or D, I will pay the list price. 
B and C are not so important and would need to be answered togehter to
get the list price.

Dear Zippy, 

I suggest you'll post each question seperately. Thus, if an answer for
only some of the questions is available, you'll get it.

Thought some may find this interesting.

"Report: al-Qaida Made Pre-9/11 Diamond Buy
August 7, 2004

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - A series of witnesses place six top al-Qaida
fugitives in Africa buying up diamonds in the run-up to the Sept. 11
attacks, according to a confidential report by U.N.-backed prosecutors
obtained by The Associated Press.

The first-person accounts detailed by the prosecutors add to
long-standing claims that al-Qaida laundered millions of dollars in
terror funds through African diamonds before launching its deadliest
offensive."
