"Qui Finance le Terrorisme International?" by Loretta Napoleoni
(Published in French in March 2005 by the publishers Editions Autrement, Paris)

Loretta Napoleoni's book, "Modern Jihad: Tracing the Dollars Behind the Terrorist Networks" was published in English by Pluto Press in September 2003. In its original form, the book contained a number of erroneous and highly defamatory allegations about Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz. These allegations have been removed from Napoleoni's latest version of the book, which was published in French by the publishers Editions Autrement in March 2005 under the title "Qui Finance le Terrorisme International?" ("Who finances International Terrorism?").

Napoleoni has retracted her previous allegations in the French version of the book and no longer makes the following false and highly defamatory claims that:
  1. Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz is Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law and that he has supported Bin Laden, his Al Qaeda terrorist network and other forms of terrorism.

  2. Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz paid protection money to Osama bin Laden to stave off attacks on his businesses in Saudi Arabia.

  3. The Saudi Government discovered that Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz had transferred $3 million through the National Commercial Bank to charitable organisations which were fronts for Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.

  4. The Saudi Government forced Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz to sell his shares in the National Commercial Bank.

  5. Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz had ownership in Delta Oil.
