A  captured senior Al-Qaeda agent in Europe by the name of Ben Heni has said that China paid Osama Bin Laden $10 million for the remnants of cruise missiles left over from the 1998 attack by the U.S on Afghanistan.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/oct/20/china.afghanistan</ref><ref>http://taiwantt.org.tw/cdrom/20020801/For%20Taiwan%20XII/Letters/2001-10-24-Walter%20Schwimmer%20letter-24.htm</ref> On March 9, in a rundown flat in the Milan suburb of Gallarate, Ben Heni met the leader of the Italian cell of Al-Qaeda, Sami Ben Khemais Essid, and told him of his experiences in Afghanistan visiting Osama Bin Laden's camps. Unknown to the men was that the Italian police had bugged the flat. "Perhaps the Americans are convinced by the bombardment of the sheikh's training (Bin Laden's) centers. For them it was a victory. But in fact it was a defeat because the majority of the missiles didn't even explode." 

After a brief digression, Essid continued saying that, "With these weapons, he (Bin Laden) has boosted his financial resources. From every part of the world businessmen who hate Americans have come to study American missile strategy. In particular businessmen have come from China. He works a great deal with China. He's got good relations with them."

"You see them and you ask 'But what are they doing here?' In the end, you understand that they work for the sheikh and that they came to study these missiles."

"Thanks to the money that comes from these studies from outside, he created the army of mohajedin headed by Omar Zayan (or Zaghan) in Chechnya."
