Even as General Pervez Musharraf is trying hard to whitewash his regime's complicity in the terrorist crimes, investigations in the US have revealed more links between Pakistan's jehadi establishment and Osama bin Laden's Al Qaida. American investigating agencies have said Mohammad Atta - the "axle" of the September 11 terrorist attacks - was sourcing funds from Pakistan. Reports on the ongoing probe into the WTC crash said that as much as $100,000 was wired in the past year from Pakistan to Atta, the leader of the hijackings. The wire transfers from Pakistan were sent to Atta through two banks in Florida. Then, Atta allegedly would distribute it to others involved in the plot.
