Millions across Bangladesh to benefit from death of arms dealer

Millions across Bangladesh to benefit from death of arms dealer

Last Thursday (June 6) marked the second anniversary of the death of internationally renowned arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.

Khashoggi left over 20-BILLION Euros in his will to his Bangladeshi friend and partner Dr. Moosa Bin Shamsher, making him the first and only trillionaire in the history of the nation.

Dr. Moosa is planning to donate many billions of Euros to enrich the lives of the poor in Bangladesh and to build a 1,000-bed hospital on par with the best available in the world.

“For the first time in the history of Bangladesh, there will not be a need to go overseas for the best medical treatment, it will available here on our own doorstep and at considerably lower cost,” a spokesman said.

As a team, Khashoggi and Shamsher were invincible, unlike any arms dealers in history. They revolutionized the very essence of arms trading. Together they helped build the defence systems of many countries to protect them against external aggression, brokering change of power internationally in places of conflict like helping the Muslim Bosnians to have their own army, stand up, fight back and assert their independence.

The Washington Post wrote: “Khashoggi and Shamsher were a formidable team to be feared, appreciated and applauded. Their private intelligence network would put Russia’s KGB and America’s CIA to shame.” Perhaps their greatest achievement was in the 1980s. They foiled an Israeli nuclear attack on the three most holy Islamic sites in Saudi Arabia – Jeddah, Medina and Mecca.

In hushed tones a Saudi royal recently revealed that only Khashoggi, Shamsher, Saudi King Fahd, his brother Defence Minister Prince Sultan, President Saddam Hossain, President Hafez Al Asad and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat were privy to the gruesome details.

“They feared, if the facts became public, the incident would trigger an Islamic war and severely damage, if not cripple, both the Jewish and Islamic religions,” he said.

The Palestinians and Saudi royal families regard Khashoggi and Shamsher as heroes of Islam. Khashoggi died a hero’s death and in Saudi Arabia special prayer services were held in his honour.

Adnan Khashoggi was 81 when he died.
