While there can be no justification for horrific killings of this kind, they need to be understood against the ferment of the last decade radicalising Muslim youth of Pakistani origin living in Europe.<br>During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, the US funded large numbers of jihadists through Pakistan's secret intelligence service, the ISI. Later the US wanted to raise another jihadi corps, again using proxies, to help Bosnian Muslims fight to weaken the Serb government's hold on Yugoslavia. Those they turned to included Pakistanis in Britain.<br><br>According to a recent report by the Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation, a contingent was also sent by the Pakistani government, then led by Benazir Bhutto, at the request of the Clinton administration. This contingent was formed from the Harkat-ul- Ansar (HUA) terrorist group and trained by the ISI. The report estimates that about 200 Pakistani Muslims living in the UK went to Pakistan, trained in HUA camps and joined the HUA's contingent in Bosnia. Most significantly, this was "<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>with the full knowledge and complicity of the British and American intelligence agencies</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->".<br>As the 2002 Dutch government report on Bosnia makes clear, the US provided a green light to groups on the state department list of terrorist organisations, including the Lebanese-based Hizbullah, to operate in Bosnia - an episode that calls into question the credibility of the subsequent "war on terror".<br><br>For nearly a decade the US helped Islamist insurgents linked to Chechnya, Iran and Saudi Arabia destabilise the former Yugoslavia. The insurgents were also allowed to move further east to Kosovo. By the end of the fighting in Bosnia there were tens of thousands of Islamist insurgents in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo; many then moved west to Austria, Germany and Switzerland.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Less well known is evidence of the British government's relationship with a wider Islamist terrorist network</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. During an interview on Fox TV this summer, the former US federal prosecutor <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>John Loftus</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> reported that British intelligence had used the al-Muhajiroun group in London to recruit Islamist militants with British passports for the war against the Serbs in Kosovo. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Since July Scotland Yard has been interested in an alleged member of al-Muhajiroun, Haroon Rashid Aswat, who some sources have suggested could have been behind the London bombings.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>According to Loftus, Aswat was detained in Pakistan after leaving Britain, but was released after 24 hours. He was subsequently returned to Britain from Zambia, but has been detained solely for extradition to the US, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>not for questioning about the London bombings.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Loftus claimed that Aswat is a British-backed double agent, pursued by the police but protected by MI6.<br><br>One British Muslim of Pakistani origin radicalised by the civil war in Yugoslavia was LSE-educated Omar Saeed Sheikh. He is now in jail in Pakistan under sentence of death for the killing of the US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 - although many (including Pearl's widow and the US authorities) doubt that he committed the murder. However, reports from Pakistan suggest that <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sheikh continues to be active from jail, keeping in touch with friends and followers in Britain.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>Sheikh was recruited as a student by Jaish-e-Muhammad (Army of Muhammad), which operates a network in Britain. It has actively recruited Britons from universities and colleges since the early 1990s, and has boasted of its numerous British Muslim volunteers. Investigations in Pakistan have suggested that on his visits there Shehzad Tanweer, one of the London suicide bombers, contacted members of two outlawed local groups and trained at two camps in Karachi and near Lahore. Indeed the network of groups now being uncovered in Pakistan may point to senior al-Qaida operatives having played a part in selecting members of the bombers' cell. The Observer Research Foundation has argued that there are even "<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>grounds to suspect that the [London] blasts were orchestrated by Omar Sheikh from his jail in Pakistan".</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>Why then is Omar Sheikh not being dealt with when he is already under sentence of death? Astonishingly his appeal to a higher court against the sentence was <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>adjourned in July for the 32nd time and has since been adjourned indefinitely</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. This is all the more remarkable when this is the same Omar Sheikh who, at the behest of General Mahmood Ahmed, head of the ISI, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, the leading 9/11 hijacker, before the New York attacks, as confirmed by Dennis Lormel, director of FBI's financial crimes unit.<br><br>Yet neither Ahmed nor Omar appears to have been sought for questioning by the US about 9/11. Indeed, the official 9/11 Commission Report of July 2004 sought to downplay the role of Pakistan with the comment: "To date, the US government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. Ultimately the question is of little practical significance" - <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>a statement of breathtaking disingenuousness.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>All this highlights the resistance to getting at the truth about the 9/11 attacks and to an effective crackdown on the forces fomenting terrorist bombings in the west, including Britain.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> The extraordinary US forbearance towards Omar Sheikh, its restraint towards the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb, Dr AQ Khan, selling nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea, the huge US military assistance to Pakistan and the US decision last year to designate Pakistan as a major non-Nato ally in south Asia all betoken a deeper strategic set of goals as the real priority in its relationship with Pakistan. These might be surmised as Pakistan providing sizeable military contingents for Iraq to replace US troops, or Pakistani troops replacing Nato forces in Afghanistan. Or it could involve the use of Pakistani military bases for US intervention in Iran, or strengthening Pakistan as a base in relation to India and China.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Whether the hunt for those behind the London bombers can prevail against these powerful political forces remains to be seen.

I've googled his name and he is a former minister. And he is conspiracy theorist as well and ridiculed by the government of course.

and had detailed, comprehensive facts on the logistics, planning, bankrolling and final execution of 9/11 from the end of 1999 including a videotaped interview with the UN head of military intelligence. The MI6 copy of this tape was destroyed on Blair's orders in early 2000 as soon as Bush Jr declared his intention to run for office and MI5 head Stella Rimington was paid off with lucrative City directorships including British Gas and Marks & Spencer.<br><br>The background to this: The Saudis head of security/intelligence Kamel Adham was protecting the real paternity of 'Osama Bin Laden' for over 20 years. OBL is the Syrian-born son of the 'King Fahd bin Abdel-Aziz al Saud' who died last month, in reality a lookalike impostor planted by the Reagan/Bush 1 regime after a disastrous attempt at a military coup in Riyadh, engineered mainly with Mossad help, in 1981 that resulted in the assasination of the real Fahd and a big win for Wahhabist factions controlling Saudi oil revenues who inserted their man and continued to pull the strings of power.<br><br>Thatcher effectively silenced all intelligence about the Fahd assasination in classified material labelled 'Death of a Princess' - a UK TV documentary about the beheading of a daughter of the House of Saud allegedly caught in an act of adultery.<br><br>Kamel Adham: also former director/shareholder of BCCI, whose ultimate patent company International Credit and Investment Corporation was owned and run from the Carribean by former top CIA spook Richard McGarrach Helms, Robert Maxwell, James R Bath and John Gelli.<br><br>Adham was also the main Saudi partner for many years in financial and arms companies run by former UK Tory Minister for Defence Procurement (and subsequent perjury jailbird) Jonathan Aitken. In reality the natural son of George H Bush. Thatcher's golden boy earmarked for ultimate honours in the UK as a potential Prime Minister and later NATO Sec Gen.<br><br>The 9/11 CIA intelligence was effectively gagged from disclosure of the UN evidence in a series of complex deals with members of the Bush 1 and Clinton administrations compromised during the unmasking of CIA traitor Aldrich Ames. And to protect the legacy of UK spy Robert Maxwell whose espionage for the state of Israel is well documented. Also to protect his daughter by Thatcher - one 'Cherie Booth QC' - in reality Dorothy Freeman, wife of John Gelli.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<br><br> Excellent find Anti, and thanks.<br><br> I have today become a member ( for the first time in my life ) of the newest British political party. We had our status approved this week, and we mean some serious business.<br><br> Our major policy doctrine ? Tell the fucking truth !!!!!!!!! Bound to upset a few folks for sure lol.<br><br> We set up as much as anything to protect those of us who seek the truth, from any kind of clearly imminent govnt "Anti terror" legislation . <br><br> You know ; the kind of legislation, which, listening to Charles Clarke at the EU this week, and echoed by Blair in China, is clearly going to be aimed at any kind of voice of dissent - under the all encompassing "incitement to terrorism" umbrella.<br><br> We are currently working on a manifesto, and a website. As soon as these are up and running, I will post more details. In the meantime, Im glad you mentioned Mr Meacher, because along with people like David Shayler who is addressing a fringe meeting of the green party on Monday with one of our members, Craig Murray ( ex UK ambassador to Uzbechistan ) and a few other fellow truthseekers and men of true principle, we firmly believe we CAN make a difference. I hope you will join us Anti.<br><br> I get the overall sense that people are sick to fucking death of being lied to. I see it every day in my new part time work.<br><br> I will be ensuring that Mr Meacher gets an email from us very soon.<br><br> Meanwhile, especially for all you brits out there - Watch this space.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> Do we intend to change the face of British politics ? Well whilst we can all dream, we certainly dont have delusions of grandeur. <br><br> What we WILL do is make some Goddamn noise. On that you can rely <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
