Re: In an interview with a Belgian radio station, Nizar Trabelsi, 31, a Tunisian former professional footballer, said he had hoped to attack the Kleine Brogel base in eastern Belgium with a bomb similar to those used to blow up the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. The base includes a munitions store and is said by anti-nuclear groups to contain 20 free-fall nuclear bombs. "I am guilty, I will have to pay for it. What I did is not good, but I had no choice," he said in the radio interview from his cell. Lorne, thank you so much indeed! Thank you for allowing me to expose yet another dirty trick of the so-called Belgo-Tunisian connection... Yesterday, our local TV network RTL-TVi aired a talkshow on terrorism and the consequences for Belgium... Trabelsi's lawyer, Maître de Quévy was among the guests. Trabelsi is very likely just another fink on the payroll of Belgium's Sûreté de l'Etat (the Belgian secret service). He was first indicted on the charge of planning the bombing of the US embassy in Paris, and afterwards, Belgian authorities accused him of planning the bombing of the Kleine Brogel military base... and here's the kicker: both attacks were allegedly devised as SUICIDE bombings!! As Me de Quévy wittily remarked, his client couldn't have blown himself up TWICE.... I guess that interview was devised by the Sûreté de l'Etat to psych up Belgium's public opinion and ape the Judeofascist masquerade that's being played the world over... Everything that patsy Trabelsi told the journalist over his cell-phone is crap --but then, that poor Trabelsi's got no choice other than acting as a Bin Laden lieutenant. In France, the anti-terror investigative judge J.L. Bruguière doesn't believe the "Kleine Brogel" yarn and hence, has asked Belgium to extradite Trabelsi to France for the US embassy plot. Of course, that's bad news for Trabelsi because if he's to be convicted in France, Trabelsi will end up spending 22 years in a French slammer (like the two Algerians tried for the '95 Paris subway bombings) or worse yet: the US authorities might want to get Trabelsi in the US for interrogation about his alleged ties to O. bin Laden --in that case, life imprisonment in a US jail... As Trabelsi told the journalist, he's got two children, a wife, etc... get the picture? Trabelsi will do anything to get judged and convicted in Belgium --max penalty, say, 12 years in Saint-Gilles (a Brussels prison). It also suits Belgian authorities who probably don't want the juge Bruguière to snoop around in Belgium's shady deals with the Tunisian secret services and Mossad... Gus
