Mehdat Abdul Salam Shabana (born in Afghanistan[citation needed]) was a member of the board of directors, during the mid-1990s, of the now defunct Konsojaya Trading Company, a terrorist front organization based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Hambali, now in U.S. custody since 2003, was the leader of the southeast Asia terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, which later became associated with al-Qaeda, along with Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines.
Another Afghan[citation needed] named Wali Khan Amin Shah was also one of the board of directors of the Konsojaya company.
The money was then siphoned into an account under the name of "Adam Salih", an alias of Ramzi Yousef, who was at the time planning the Bojinka attack.
Shabana's co-owner of Konsojaya, Wali Khan Amin Shah, in U.S. custody, went on trial in 1996, and is serving a life sentence.
