Local Terrorist Whistle-Blower Dead After Poisoning Video
He claimed he met three of the Sept. 11 hijackers in Shreveport a year before the attacks. Now, that man, Shreveport dentist Dr. David Graham, is dead.
His family says he was poisoned more than two years ago. At the time, Graham was trying to publish a manuscript about meeting three middle easterners in Shreveport, men he feared were plotting to bomb Barksdale Air Force Base. Graham wrote that he warned the FBI. Then after Sept. 11, he saw their pictures among the hijackers.
Before Graham was poisoned, he was supposed to testify at a deportation hearing against a Pakistani man, Jamal Khan, who hosted the men Graham believed to be the hijackers. Graham's brother, Edwin Jones, told us Wednesday night the family believes someone slipped poison into his drink, plunging him into a deadly illness.

Remember this story from June?
A dentist who claims he met three of the Sept. 11 hijackers in Shreveport one year before the attacks has mysteriously fallen ill and is on life support.
Dr. David Graham was driving back to Shreveport from Houston on Saturday night when he became sick. A friend said Graham began suffering organ failure and medical tests show possible poisoning. He is hospitalized in Houston.
Graham is trying to publish a book that claims meetings with the hijackers and another Middle Eastern man who is a federal fugitive here.
Mike Sledge, a friend of Graham, has a manuscript of Graham's book, "The Graham Report: The true story of three 9-11 hijackers who were reported to the FBI 10 months before 9-11." In it, Graham claims he met the hijackers at a home in Shreveport in September 2000 and thought they were plotting an attack on Barksdale Air Force Base. He said he reported them to the FBI.

Graham also knew Jamal Khan, a Bossier City man who was convicted of trying to hide his wiring of $9,999 to his native Pakistan.

Graham was scheduled to testify against Khan at a deportation hearing that was postponed because of a crowded docket. That hearing had not been held when Khan skipped town after federal authorities moved to put him back in jail for violating probation on the financial crime conviction.
I looked around for info on what ever happened to David Graham, and found only this: Shreveport dentist who claims meeting 9-11 hijackers moves out of office

A Shreveport dentist who mysteriously fell ill while trying to publish claims about the 9-11-hijackers in Shreveport is moving out.
Friends and family hauled furniture from the practice Dr. David Graham ran on Kings Highway and the apartment he rented upstairs. Graham's son told us only that Dr. Graham is doing better in physical re-hab at an undisclosed location.
Dr. Graham was possibly poisoned three months ago, after writing a manuscript, claiming he met three of the 9-11 hijackers in Shreveport and warned the F.B.I they might've been planning an attack on Barksdale Air Force Base.
The F.B.I. says Graham contacted them only after the 9-11 attacks.
