We learned in September 2001, that Al-Quaeda accounts had been frozen at the Barclays Bank in London.
This bank was already mentioned as a connection in the February 2001 Trial about the bombings on the Kenia Embassy.
(GZ brought exclusive sumups of one spectacular day and a list of credit institutes, Jihad Camps and Al-Queada members)
In the INDEX about the muhjahadeen in this folder you will read a summary about this scandalous bank BCCI from the 80s who supported terrorists and drug dealers.
Now actually there is a link between both british institutes:

"..Litigation concerning "High Street" banking operations forms a major part of the practices of many members of chambers. Much of the work is done for banks; but members often act for customers, debtors and others who deal with banks. Juniors in chambers frequently act in contested debt, possession and other proceedings in County Courts and before District Judges throughout the country, and in the Masters' corridor in the Royal Courts of Justice.
In the leading case of National Westminster Bank v Morgan [1985] 1 AC 686, HL, which established the requirement of manifest disadvantage in cases of undue influence, Philip Brook Smith acted for the bank. More recently, members of Fountain Court have acted in many of the post-O'Brien authorities concerning undue influence and misrepresentation affecting the validity of security provided by wives:
In Barclays Bank v Boulter, [1999] 1 WLR 1919, Michael Brindle QC represented the bank and Stephen Moriarty QC acted as amicus curiae in a case which clarified the onus of proof on the issue of constructive notice of undue influence.
In Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge (No.2) [1998] 4 All ER 705, CA, a series of appeals concerning the steps to be taken by banks to avoid imputed notice of undue influence, Michael Lerego QC represented the National Westminster Bank; Nicholas Underhill QC and Adam Tolley also appeared. In December 1999 Andrew Mitchell appeared for the Bank in BCCI v Bhutto Hussain, in which Etridge was applied..."

"..George W. Bush Sr. has been a business partner, in the tens of millions of dollars, with Osama bin Laden and his father. As an example, Bath had many millions of dollars of dealings with the Elder bin Laden who was part of the infamous spy/assassination/money laundry scandal of Bank of Credit and Commerce International, BCCI. See the details in "The Outlaw Bank---A Wild Ride Into The Secret Heart of BCCI", by Jonathan Beaty and S.C. Gwynne, Random House, New York, 1993, pages 227-230.
Notice in our prior story about the Emergency, the details of Osama bin Laden's secret joint accounts (stemming from the George W. Bush/James R. Bath/bin Laden business partnerships) in the Harris Bank, a unit of Bank of Montreal, owned largely by the Bronfman Family, who have been the owners of the Seagrams booze cartel, and another major owner of the bank being U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R., Ill.). The U.S. units of Barclays Bank, United Kingdom, have also sought to conceal such reputed joint accounts of Osama bin Laden/James R. Bath/George W. Bush. Who can believe the White House when they say they would freeze Osama bin Laden's accounts if they can find them? Also please notice, in my exclusive story about the Elder Bush/Saddam Hussein business partnership, the banks involved were Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, BNL, owned in part by the Vatican, and its bank twin, BCCI.
