You think you know but you have no idea!
The Enron Corporation gave the Taliban dictator rulers millions of dollars in a no-holds-barred bid to strike a deal for an energy pipeline in Afghanistan.
And the company did this while the Taliban were already sheltering terror kingpin Osama Bin Laden!
Enron executives even met with Taliban officials in Texas, where they were given the red-carpet treatment and promised a fortune if the deal went through. This bombshell has been revealed following an investigation into the collapse of the company that ripped off Americans for hundreds of millions of dollars.
It has also been uncovered that some of the Enron money wound up supporting Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda terrorist network.
"Enron would do business with the devil if it would make the company money," said a member of a Congressional committee investigating the company's collapse. Atul Davda, who worked as a senior director for Enron's International Division until the company's collapse, confirmed: "Enron had intimate contact with Taliban officials"
Enron secretly employed CIA agents to carry out its dealings overseas. And a CIA insider disclosed: "Enron proposed to pay the Taliban large sums of money in a "tax" on every cubic foot of gas and oil shipped through a pipeline they planned to build."
Enron shelled out more than $400 million for a feasibility study on the pipeline and "a large portion of that cost was pay-offs to the Taliban," said the CIA source.
Shockingly, Enron's wooing of the Taliban continued even after AI Qaeda agents bombed two American embassies in Africa in 1998.
And three days after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, Enron and its CEO Kenneth Lay held on, waiting for the Taliban to give up Bin Laden as the Bush administration was demanding.
