Page 16: The Tasking Memo. This exclusive document,
obtained from an Iranian defector in 2004, reveals Iran's direct,
material involvement in the 9/11 plot. Dated May 14, 2001, from the
head of the Leader's Intelligence Office, it lays out the guidelines
established by the Supreme Leader for joint operations with al-Qaeda.
"It was the equivalent of a Presidential Decision Directive in the
United States, the top-secret documents that guide policy makers in
developing specific operational plans." [p16]. Read the English
translation here. Page 352: Funding Bin Laden. Iran had business ties with Osama bin Laden going back to the early 1990s. This document, presented by the opposition Iranian People's Fedaii Guerrillas to the UN Security Council in 1996, details the purchase of Iraqi oil products smuggled through Iran by Iranian REvolutionary Guards in violation of UN sanctions. The ultimate purchaser was the Al Shamal Islamic Bank in Sudan, in which bin laden had an ownership stake.

Page 363: Covering their tracks. This image from DigitalGlobe and GlobalSecurity.org shows the underground production halls of the Natanz centrifuge enrichment facility just after they were covered over with dirt to hide them from satellites. Bijan Sepassy's FARA registration. Mr. Sepassy, who continues to offer his services to groups opposing the Islamic Republic, such as the Iran Freedom Foundation, was a registered lobbyist for the same regime he now says he opposes. He set up a lobbying organization - the Forum on American-Iranian Relations - that took money from Tehran. These documents come from the Justice Department's Foreign Agent Registration database for the years 1991-1993. Sepasy claims he represented Tehran at the urging of U.S. government officials.
