In furtherance of this agreement and enterprise, and in order to accomplish some objective or purpose of the agreement and enterprise, the above six accused and their coconspirators knowingly committed an overt act or acts, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. In August 1996, Usama bin Laden issued a public “Declaration of Jihad Against the Americans,” in which he called for the murder of U.S. military personnel serving on the Arabian Peninsula.

Between 1996 and 2001, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Usama bin Laden, and Mohammed Atef (a/k/a Abu Hafs al Masri, the military commander of al Qaeda), proposed and discussed potential targets for attack by hijacked commercial airliners and decided to target economic, political, and military buildings in the United States and Western Pacific.

4. In February 1998, Usama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, and others, under the banner of “International Islamic Front for Fighting Jews and Crusaders,” issued a fatwa (purported religious ruling) requiring all Muslims able to do so to kill Americans – whether
civilian or military – anywhere they can be found and to “plunder their money.”

5. On or about May 29, 1998, Usama bin Laden issued a statement entitled “The Nuclear Bomb of Islam,” under the banner of the “International Islamic Front for Fighting Jews and Crusaders,” in which he stated that “it is the duty of the Muslims to prepare as much force as possible to terrorize the enemies of God.”

6. In early 1999, Usama bin Laden directed Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin `Attash (a/k/a Khallad, hereinafter Khallad Bin `Attash) to obtain a United States visa so that he could travel to the United States and obtain pilot training in order to participate in what Bin `Attash termed the “Planes Operation.”

7. On or about April 3, 1999, Khallad Bin `Attash traveled to San’a, Yemen and applied for a visa to travel to the United States using the alias “Salah Saeed Mohammed Bin Yousaf.” This application was denied.

16. In or about December 1999, before Khallad Bin `Attash departed from Pakistan on his casing trip to Kuala Lumpur, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave him a razor knife to secrete on his person while traveling in order to assess airline security measures.
