MULLAHS IN THE MILITARY

The Saudi connection to the Gitmo spy arrests.

The Pentagon is investigating a trip by 100 Muslim members of the U.S. armed forces for a pilgrimage to Mecca that was paid for by a Saudi charity accused of financing al Qaeda, The Post has learned.

The so-called "Hajj Tour" in March 2001 for Muslim servicemen and chaplains was organized by the Muslim World League, a major charity group financed in part by the Saudi royal family and which is dedicated to the spread of Wahhabism, the extreme form of Islam embraced by Osama bin Laden.

One of the chaplains who went on such a Saudi-funded trip is James Yee, arrested at Gitmo for allegedly spying for al Qaeda.
