Gus > To claim that Albania is a US toehold in Europe is like claiming that Cuba is a European toehold in the US I see you have learned to be contemptuous. But you should have learned your history first. 66.102.11.104 >>JANE'S INTELLIGENCE DIGEST - JULY 18, 2003 The establishment of new US bases is being considered in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Albania. What sets the post-communist states of eastern Europe apart from western Europe are their open pro-US views and their reliance on the USA and NATO for their security. For example, JID has learned that a visit to Albania in June by US secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld took place because the country is of particular interest to US military planners owing to its geographic location on the Adriatic Sea. Special links with Albania US special forces and intelligence have had close ties to the Albanians, since they assisted in training and equipping the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) prior to NATO's air campaign against Serbia in 1999. Albania is also considered useful because it is a strongly pro-US country with a nominal Muslim majority and it is seeking Washington's support in its bid to join NATO in 2007. Recently, 1,500 US Rangers and special forces participated in an exercise in the country.<<

Gus, I know you like a nice mystery. So, tell me why a nice, Israeli boy is supplying detonators for nuclear weapons from the US to Pakistan via South Africa? mg.co.za >>Bagraim is the national chairperson of the Jewish Board of Deputies, but said he could not comment about Karni in that capacity. He said it had come to light that Karni had been trading under his own name while employed at South African company Eagle Technology. Eagle Technology imports and manufactures components used in the medical, scientific and military industries. Karni is now in jail in Denver, Colorado, and has been accused of supplying trigger devices to Pakistan that could be used to detonate nuclear weapons. He faces a 10-year jail sentence if convicted. According to the New York Times US authorities charge in court documents that Karni was at the centre of a global operation that used front companies and false billing records to route the trigger devices from a private manufacturer in the US to South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and ultimately Pakistan. Karni owns a company called Top-Cape Technology, located in Cape Town. The company's website reports that Karni arrived in South Africa in 1985 and has a BSc degree from Bar Ilan University and an MBA from Tel Aviv University.<< iol.co.za >>The US agents suspect Karni might also have sold nuclear weapons technology to India, Pakistan's great rival, which has also built nuclear bombs. << Is someone trying to start a nuclear war all on his own?
