I TOLD YOU SO... The Russian Mafya Connection to 911:

Prisoner links Russian arms broker with Al Qaeda

WASHINGTON
A man in Belgian custody has told the U.S. authorities about business ties between the Qaeda terrorist network and a Russian arms broker - a breakthrough in long-frustrated efforts to dismantle one of the world's largest weapons-smuggling operations, the authorities said.

Belgian and American officials said that Sanjivan Ruprah, a Kenyan diamond mine owner, has offered details to U.S. investigators about business dealings between Al Qaeda and the sprawling arms-trading operation run by Victor Bout, a Russian broker accused of transporting large quantities of weapons to Africa and Afghanistan.

Officials familiar with Ruprah's case and his cooperation with U.S. investigators said Friday that his knowledge of Bout's organization could provide vital evidence in learning how terror groups are armed and how international weapons networks operate.
