5.0 out of 5 stars AWARD WINNING BOOK WITH FACTS & FIGURES, May 23, 2006

This review is from: United Arab Emirates Central Bank & 9/11 Financing (Paperback)

Every American should salute this honest auditor who has written this book in his own style.(keeping in view that English is not his native language and he is not a professional writer)

The contents of the book is more important than the language and the book details the core 9/11 financing from Dubai more accurately than even the 9/11 Commission Report. The Book is a must for all bankers and auditors and exposes money laundering by HSBC, a top UK bank.

The Author (and his family have been living a life of threats) should be rewarded and acknowledged for writing this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very important, October 7, 2006

This review is from: United Arab Emirates Central Bank & 9/11 Financing (Paperback)

Iqbal Hakim's book on the United Arab Emirates and its involvement in the financing of the 9/11 attacks on America is a very important book.

As one other reviewers note, the book is not that well organized, and sometimes veers too much into personal issues.

Nevertheless, the book provides clear evidence--and photographs of original documents--to prove some highly questionable irregularities in the UAE banking system.

It is really amazing that so little has been done to prosecute the offending banks.

But with the recent U.S. court decisions to allow cases to proceed in New York against several foreign banks charged with complicity in laundering funds for, or passing money to, terrorists, the tables may be finally about to turn.

Hakim's second book, Taking People for a Ride; HSBC Middle East: The Devil's Bank, is even more important than this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars The interconnectivity of global finances: Hakim presents a strong case -, May 28, 2006

By 

Peter Thomas Senese - Author. ""A book is... (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: United Arab Emirates Central Bank & 9/11 Financing (Paperback)

Iqbal Ismail Hakim presents a strong case against the lack of scrutiny over possible 'irregular' accounts held by HSBC in the United Arab Emirates. We all know that money laundering is nothing new, and, in certain cases, it is difficult to flag irregularities of transactional movement, regarldess of the money monitoring systems in place by international monitoring agencies (Hakim never mentions this). Regardless, what is so blatant, and I tip my hate to the author, is that Hakim exposes specific events and transactions - showing the negligence of not only the HSBC leaders, but the Sultan and other various leaders in the UAB. There are times where the author's bitterness toward how he was treated is clear; and for this I must question not the verifiability of what he presents, but why he choose to stop short in sharing the avenues that he went thru to expose what is a critical dilemma to the free world: government leaders and bank executives working with blind eyes to the dubious money launders who can potentially cause great damage to our society.

Overall, Hakim's book is a must read for anyone interested in learning about how certain inner-sanctums at large international financial institutions work. The author was very courageous in publishing this book and the content that he presents.
