Osama Not Only Paid For This Lap Dance — He Encouraged It!

Alleged Al Qaeda ringleader encouraged to teach economics courses in order to maintain “secular, fun-loving” cover:

The alleged ringleader of the tunnel terror plot lived the life of an international playboy — on orders from Al Qaeda.

Assem Hammoud, 31, even fooled his mother, if Lebanese police and U.S. anti-terror officials are correct.

His mother, Nabila Qotob, said Hammoud drinks alcohol, had girlfriends, traveled widely and showed no similarities to Islamic militants.

She also said Hammoud taught economics at a local university.

To prove her son was no jihadi, Qotob showed off photos yesterday of Hammoud with his father and lounging shirtless on a speeding motorboat in Germany.

There were also very un-Islamic pictures of Hammoud with three smiling women — none of them wearing veils — on his arm during an undated stay in Canada.

“His morale is high because he is confident he is innocent,” said Qotob, who said she had recently visited her son in jail.

But Lebanese police, who arrested Hammoud on April 27, said in a statement that the suspect claimed he had been ordered to maintain a fun-loving, secular lifestyle to hide his Islamic militancy.

“He did just that with perfection,” the police statement said.
