I TOLD YOU SO... The Russian Mafya Connection to 911: Prisoner links Russian arms broker with Al Qaeda Stephen Braun, Judy Pasternak and Sebastian Rotella Los Angeles Times Monday, February 18, 2002 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.

Talking of "monomania", the Judeofascists' obsession about Iraq is fascinating.... It's now 11 years after Prez G.H. Bush launched Desert Storm, purportedly to rid the world of Saddam Hussein, the free world's nemesis! Or, at least, to neuter him once and for all.... Well, in the meantime, two US embassies were wiped off the map (1998, in Africa) --and Saddam wasn't to blame-- followed by other "minor" terrorist attacks against the US (USS Cole, diplomatic personel in Greece during the Kosovo war) --Saddam wasn't involved-- until the 911 bombshell, Israel's anthrax blackmail,... all of which, according to the CIA and several independent intelligence experts, are not the least related to Iraq. Yet, the Judeofascist lobby scrambles frantically to fit a square peg in a round hole and fast-talks public opinion worldwide into scapegoating Iraq... Meanwhile Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and their Al-Qaeda lieutenants are on the loose, plotting their next outrages --but who cares?? The Zionists tell us to carpet-bomb Iraq first thing in the morning and everything's gonna get back to normal! Thank God the Zionists are here to prompt us.... Anyway, the US had better think twice before going for Iraq: you may have the military supremacy to bomb Iraq with stealth bombers flying at 50,000+ feet but keep in mind that thousands of your GIs hang about in Afghanistan at a much, much lower altitude... and their don't wear stealth jackets. Well, then again, I guess that's what NSA Rice had in mind when she boasted the US as the only power able to wage two wars in two different theatres at the same time.... Gus Putin: No Basis to Extend U.S. War Thu Feb 14,10:26 AM ET By JUDITH INGRAM, Associated Press Writer MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the United States had no basis to extend the war against terrorism to Iraq, but he conceded that Saddam Hussein's nation did pose problems to the international community. Putin's remarks came after President Bush on Wednesday announced he had ordered a review of options to oust Saddam. Russian officials have warned that targeting Iraq could break apart the coalition formed after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States. "We know which nations' representatives and citizens were fighting alongside the Taliban and where their activities were financed from. Iraq is not on this list," Putin told a joint news conference in the Kremlin with Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien. "But that does not mean that the international community does not have any problems concerning Iraq. We are actively discussing these issues, together with our partners in the United Nations and the U.N. Security Council, and searching for ways to solve these problems." Earlier Thursday, Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov joined the chorus of Russian officials warning the United States against attacking Iraq. Referring to Bush's identification of Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an "axis of evil" in his State of the Union speech, the foreign minister said that "labeling various states is an approach that is hardly in compliance with international efforts to combat terrorism," the Interfax news agency reported. "The interests of strengthening the international anti-terrorist coalition can in no way be answered by unilateral actions, no matter which side makes them." Vladimir Lukin, an influential lawmaker and former Russian ambassador to the United States, told the Interfax news agency that "the United States has to bear in mind the practically unanimous negative reaction of the international community, including close allies of the United States and Russia, to the possible use of force against Iraq."
