Konsojaya Trading Company
The Konsojaya Trading Company was a shell company cofounded by Jemaah Islamiah leader Riduan Isamuddin, better known as "Hambali", and his Chinese Malaysian wife, Noralwizah Lee Abdullah on June 1994.An Afghan named Wali Khan Amin Shah was one of the board of directors of the company. He also owned half (3,000) of the company's 6,000 shares. Another member of the board of directors was Afghan Mehdat Abdul Salam Shabana, who owned the other half of the company's shares. Another member was 30-year old Hemeid H. Algamdi, a member of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Yemeni Amein Mohamed was the managing director of Konsojaya. A company profile that was circulated to suppliers and customers stated that he was the former marketing director of a Pakistan-based supplying agent for a company in Jeddah.
Konsojaya stated in its incorporation papers that it was an "import/export" company that shipped palm oil to Afghanistan from Malaysia. Its "principal objective" was to import and export products found in the Asia/Pacific region (East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia) to Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Sudan.
It actually funneled money to an account owned by Omar Abu Omar, an employee of the International Relations and Information Centre, an organization run by Mohammed Jalal Khalifa, who is married to one of Osama Bin Laden's sisters. The money would then be embezzled to an account under the name of "Adam Salih", an alias of Ramzi Yousef, who was at the time planning Manila-based Project Bojinka, a mass terrorist attack.
Project Bojinka was discovered after an apartment fire by Manila police on the night of January 5 and the morning of January 6, 1995.
According to corporate records in Kuala Lumpur, Konsojaya no longer exists.
