London bombers with possible Bosnian connection
Banja Luka - British team of anti-terror investigators
will be heading to Sarajevo on Thursday to probe into
possible Bosnian connection of the last year's bombing
attacks on London, when 52 people died, "Nezavisne
Novine" paper reports, quoting a source from the
Bosnia-Herzegovina's Prosecution Office.
Initially, the news was made public by the Swiss
agency ISN Security Watch.
The paper's source said the British investigators
expressed interest on four British citizens of
Afro-Asian origin, who had been staying in BiH.
"It is believed the brother of one of the London
suicide bombers was among them."
BiH Prosecution Office announced it had received no
notification about British investigators coming in
Sarajevo.
"I would be the first to be aware about anybody
looking into possible connection with the London
attacks of persons who are already subject to our
investigation", Prosecutor Ahmed Helebic told
"Nezavisne Novine".
He is the head of the Bosnian team tasked to examine
suspects who were arrested in BiH under suspicion of
preparing terrorist actions.

British in Bosnia to probe 7 July terror link
ISN Security Watch - January 15, 2006
ISN SECURITY WATCH (15/01/06) – A source in the Bosnian State
Prosecutor's Office has told ISN Security Watch that British
anti-terror investigators are due to arrive in the Bosnian capital,
Sarajevo, this week to investigate a Bosnian link to the 7 July
bombings of London's transport network that killed 52 people,
including the suicide bombers.
The high-ranking source said the British investigators were interested
in four British citizens of Afro-Asian origin who had been under
surveillance in Bosnia, one of which is believed to be the brother of
one of the London suicide bombers.
British anti-terror investigators are scheduled to arrive in Bosnia on
19 January, the source said.
In late October 2005, Bosnian police arrested five teenagers on
suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks on Western embassies in
Sarajevo. Only days later, police in Denmark arrested six teenagers
believed to be linked to those arrested in Bosnia.
The first two men arrested in Sarajevo were identified as Cesur
Abdulkadir and Mirsad Bektasevic, whose confiscated mobile phones and
laptop computers led to the arrest in December of three more suspects
in the Sarajevo suburb of Hadzici. One of the suspects is believed to
be the leader of a Bosnian militant cell.
According to the State Prosecutor's Office, at the same time that
Bektasevic had arrived in Sarajevo from Sweden and Abdulkadir from
Denmark, a young man of Afro-Asian origin with Danish citizenship
arrived from Denmark.
Bosnian police alerted the Danish authorities after finding the Danish
citizen's contacts in the mobile phone and laptops confiscated from
Bektasevic and Abdulkadir. The Bosnian police source said Danish
police had revealed that a raid on the suspect's parents' home in
Denmark had uncovered US$500,000 in cash, and that investigators were
still tracing the money to determine its origin.
ISN Security Watch's source in the Bosnian State Prosecutor's Office,
who spoke on condition of anonymity, said none of the suspects had yet
been indicted, but that their period of detention, which was about to
expire, would be extended as the investigation continued.
Also in late October, Bosnian authorities received information about
the arrival in the western Bosnian city of Bihac of four British
citizens of Afro-Asian origin, who were under surveillance for
suspected radical Islamic activities in Britain, though there were no
concrete suspicions.
After the first arrests were made in October, police temporarily lost
the track of the four British citizens, but traced them to Sarajevo in
December. According to the Prosecutor's Office source, the four stayed
in Sarajevo for approximately one month and then left the country.
Bosnian police currently do not know their whereabouts.
"It appeared that one of those four people was the brother of one of
the suicide bombers in the 7 July attacks on the London transport
network, the senior Bosnian official told ISN Security Watch. "That is
the reason for British officials' visit [on 19 January]," he said.
The source would not reveal the name of the suspect believed to be the
brother of one of the London suicide bombers.
A Bosnian Federation police official also told ISN Security Watch on
condition of anonymity that while the four British citizens were in
Sarajevo, they spent most of their time at the Saudi-funded King Fahd
Mosque, which is frequented by naturalized Bosnians from Arab
countries and fundamentalist Bosnian Muslims who have joined the
Wahhabi movement of strict Islam.
According to ISN Security Watch's source in the Prosecutor's Office,
the four suspects had also visited the Sarajevo suburbs of Vogosca and
Hadzici several times during their stay. The source said the
investigation had shown that Hadzici appeared to be the base for a
Bosnian, or even European, "terror cell", and that one of the three
people arrested in late November in Hadzici appeared to be their leader.
Amir Bajric, Bajro Ikanovic, and a third person whose identity has not
been revealed, were arrested in Hadzici in late November. Prosecutors
said that during the interrogation of Bajric they learned that he and
the third unidentified teenager were members of the same extremist
group as Bektasevic and Abdulkadir, who were arrested earlier in
October. Bajric, Ikanovic, and the third unidentified teenager are
suspected of having provided support and logistics for the alleged
terror cell. Bosnian police seized 16 kilograms of explosives hidden
by the unidentified 19-year-old in a forest near Hadzici.
The source from the Prosecutor's Office said investigators believed
that Ikanovic was the group's leader, saying that the other two had
referred to him as "boss" or "emir". He said Ikanovic had refused to
cooperate with investigators.
Police sources said Ikanovic, a 32-year-old Bosnian national, had no
criminal record. During the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, he fought against
Bosnian Serb forces as a member of the Al-Mujaheed Muslim unit, which
operated on its own, outside the control of the Bosnian Army. The unit
was largely comprised of Bosnian Wahhabis and fighters from Muslim
countries.
A senior official in the Bosnian Federation police told ISN Security
Watch that investigators were also following the movements of three
other people in Sarajevo, suspected of having links to the alleged
network.
"Those three people, all Bosnian citizens, never sleep in one place
for more than a couple of days. Yet, all we can do for now is follow
them because we have no grounds for tapping their phones or raiding
their apartments," the source said.
The source also said that one of the three suspects being followed had
been arrested four years ago by NATO forces in Bosnia on suspicion
that he was plotting attacks on a US military base in northern Bosnia.
A search of his home uncovered a rocket-propelled grenade launcher,
three passports, and an Islamic last will and testament.
After pressure from human rights groups, who protested over the
suspect's detention for four months without the right to contact a
lawyer and without evidence that he was plotting an attack on the US
military base, he was released. He now lives in Sarajevo and either
works at or owns a car wash in the suburb of Stup.
Bosnian police may face similar problems, as they have so far been
unable to charge any of the five suspects arrested.
"Due to the fact that both Abdulkadir and Bektasevic have refused to
cooperate with investigators and have denied that the weapons found in
their apartment were theirs and that they were planning a terror
attack, all we can do is examine the evidence from the apartment," the
source from the Prosecutor's Office said.
Some 30 kilograms of explosives, dozens of guns, a suicide bombers
vest, and a videotaped last will and testament were confiscated in
raids on three apartments being rented out by the two suspects
arrested in October.
The video tape shows the two men asking God for forgiveness for the
sacrifice they were about to make. The two suspects are also shown
making bombs, including one planted in a lemon and another planted in
a tennis ball.
Police also found face masks worn by two of the suspects in the
videotape and hair samples from those face masks believed to belong to
one of the suspects. However, Bosnian forensics teams do not have the
technical capability to analyze these samples.
The Bosnian authorities sent the videotape, a video camera, and other
evidence to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which
sources said were analyzing the samples.
The source said the FBI's forensic tests had shown that the video
camera was the same one used to record the confiscated video tape
containing the bombing-making evidence and the last will and
testament. The hair analysis is expected later this month. The voice
samples from the videotape could not be verified, the Bosnian police
source said.
The source also said that comparing the number of weapons found in the
apartment rented by Bektasevic and Abdulkadir with the number of
weapons seen on the videotape, it was clear that weapons and
explosives were still unaccounted for.
In the last two months, the source said, police had conducted several
anti-terror raids in forests near the town of Kakanj, in the Hadzici
suburb, and in the Bjelasnica mountain area, near Sarajevo.
"We believe that the majority of missing weapons are located in an
abandoned house in one of those three locations and that the videotape
was made there," the source said. However, so far, security forces
have been unable to uncover the location.

TERRORISMO: SLOVENIA; SEQUESTRATI 38 KG DI ESPLOSIVO
(ANSA) - ZAGABRIA, 15 NOV - La polizia slovena ha sgominato nei giorni
scorsi un'organizzazione criminale che si occupava di contrabbando di
materiale esplosivo destinato probabilmente a qualche organizzazione
terroristica, forse di base in Italia. Lo scrive oggi la stampa di
Zagabria. Giovedi' scorso, dopo un anno di intensa sorveglianza, sono
stati fermati a Rogaska Slatina, nel nord della Slovenia non lontano
dal confine croato, cinque uomini, due sloveni, due croati e un
bosniaco con residenza in Slovenia, perche' sospettati di appartenere
a un'organizzazione che si occupava di rivendita di materiale
esplosivo. Data la quantita' e la forza distruttiva dell'esplosivo
sequestrato al momento dell'arresto in un furgoncino proveniente dalla
Croazia 25 kg di pentrite e quello immagazzinato in Slovenia nel corso
di un anno di attivita' di contrabbando cinque kg di Austrogel e sette
di Goma 2 eco - la polizia solvena sospetta che il carico possa essere
stato destinato a qualche organizzazione terroristica. Il valore di
mercato dell'esplosivo ritrovato e' stato stimato a circa 22.000 euro.
A titolo di paragone Robert Mravljak, capo della squadra speciale
slovena che ha guidato l'operazione in collaborazione con le polizie
croata, bosniaca e di alcuni altri paesi, ha spiegato che per
l'attacco terroristico due anni fa a Madrid al Qaida ha usato 12 kg di
Goma. Secondo quanto riferito da Mravljak, tutti gli indizi fanno
pensare che la Slovenia non sia l'obbiettivo di un attacco
terroristico, ma piuttosto una base logistica e di transito da dove
l'esplosivo sarebbe stato poi trasfeito in qualche altro paese,
probabilmete in Italia. Tutti i fermati si sono per ora avvalsi del
diritto di non rispondere e rischiano da uno a dieci anni di carcere.

Terror network linked to BiH reportedly targeted Washington landmarks
LONDON, Britain - A terrorist network stretching from
the United States to Britain and to Bosnia and
Herzegovina (BiH) may have planned bomb attacks on
Washington landmarks including the White House or
Capitol Hill, international media reported Saturday (5
November).
Investigators found evidence of the plot when they
arrested three suspected Islamic militants in London.
The terror network's main recruiter initially operated
out of Sweden before moving to BiH.
In other news, Spain has agreed to extradite to
Algeria two suspects wanted there on terrorism
charges.
One of them, identified as Abdelkrim Hammad, was
trained to make bombs in Al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan
and fought in BiH and Kosovo in the 1990s. (AFP, AFP,

FRENCH INTELLIGENCE SAYS BOMBS USED IN LONDON TERROR ATTACKS WERE FROM
KOSOVO
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis - July 23, 2005
French UCLAT Chief Notes Balkan Link to London Bombings
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis - July 18, 2005 Monday
Analysis. By Valentine Spyroglou, GIS. Christope Chaboud, the new
commandant of the anti-terrorist unit of France (UCLAT: l'unite de
coordination de la lutte anti-terroriste ], a unit of the French
criminal police, Police Judiciaire (PJ) which specializes in the fight
against terrorism, said on July 13, 2005, that the explosives used in
the London terrorist bombings on July 7, 2005, were of military
derivation and had come to the UK from Kosovo.
GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs had already known that the bombs used
were based on former Yugoslav National Army (JNA) stocks of Semtex
plastic explosive, and that subsequent to the London bombings, UK
security officials flew to Belgrade to discuss the matter with
Serbia-Montenegro security officials. GIS sources had said that the
Semtex had originated from the Bosnian jihadist support network,
although it is important to stress that the
Bosnia-Kosovo-Albania-Raska (Southern Serbia) jihadist net functions
as a single operational zone.

Evidence of Support for Terrorists, Violations of Arms Trafficking
Laws by New Bosnian Ambassador to US .
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis, July 13, 2005: Despite
Firm Linkages to 9/11, Madrid, and London Attacks, Bosnian Jihadist
Networks Remain "Out of Bounds" .
Sources within the Greek security agencies -- which have extremely
good access in the Balkans and are very activated in the region --
after the London bombings told GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs that "for
years" they had given information to their allies for the activity and
the danger derived by the Islamists in Bosnia and Kosovo and Albania;
although there is no reciprocation on their part (ie: the allies do
not respond by providing intelligence on the jihadists to the Greek
security agencies). Furthermore, the Greek security sources stated
that "a month ago and after information derived from the Greek
agencies and the Greek military force in KFOR, CIA and MI-6
disarticulated three cells of al-Qaida in their common operation held
in Kosovo. They had also found contemporary armament and military
plastic explosives. A comparison was held between the oddments of the
explosives in London, and the explosives found in Kosovo one month
[earlier]." For the results, the agency simply told GIS that they only
needed to be asked.
By way of background: on July 27, 2000, beginning at 05:30 hrs, a
common operation was held in Greece by the Greek agencies and the US
Army under the code name Fuente . The Greek patrol of the Special
Forces, discovered, based on information which directed them to the
site, a clandestine cache with many armaments and explosives on
Kourkoulitsa mountain, in the Greek Peleponnese, near the village
Nepodible (as transliterated). Among other things, there were sniper
weapons, and manportable rockets of contemporary technology. Also,
there were found electronic devices which could simultaneously
detonate remote-controlled explosive devices in different locations
from a distance of many kilometres.
The US Forces had kept the remote control devices and the explosives
for further investigation.
The Greek officers continued independent research, and they concluded
that these derived from a country in the Middle East, which had
supplied them to Islamists via the Albanian network of UCK (KLA:
Kosovo Liberation Army). The Greek Force has arrested three times
fundamentalists in Kosovo, and has handed them over to the US.
The Greek agencies focus in the area of Sanzak (Raska) in southern
Serbia and northern Montenegro, and they consider that there are
located important cells of fundamentalists which had planned strikes
against Europe. Since 1996, jihadist terrorists from
Bosnia-Herzegovina have been located in Sanzak. The Greek agencies
have information that many terrorist attacks against the Caucasus and
Europe derive from there, and it operates as a directorate of al-Qaida .
At the same time, and while the memorial events were taking place for
the victims of Srebrenica, former US Assistant Secretary of State
Richard Holbrook stated that the Orthodox Serbian Church was hiding
the Bosnian Serb fugitives Radovan Karadzic and Gen. Ratko Mladic. On
July 8, 2005, the NATO forces in Bosnia arrested the son of former
Pres. Karadzic, Aleksandar "Sasa" Karadzic, in order to put pressure
on the former President for his arrest.
Another important issue emerging are the charges against Greek
citizens for alleged involvement in the alleged massacres in
Srebrenica. This issue remains secret within the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the Greek
Government at this point, although the (ICTY) sent a confidential
report in the Greek Government at the beginning of July 2005 on the
possible role of Greek volunteers who fought in Srebrenica.

LONDON BOMBS: SERB MEDIA LINK EXPLOSIVES TO BALKANS
Belgrade, 14 July (AKI) - As British police investigating last week's
London bombings search for the one man who is believed to have
assembled all four devices, Serb media are speculating that the type
of explosive used in the attacks may have originated in the Balkans.
According to Belgrade daily, Blic, only four countries in the world
produce or have produced the type of high-grade military plastic
explosives believed to have been used in the Thursday, 7 July,
attacks, and that the type produced in the fomer Yugoslavia was of the
"best quality."
The Yugoslav explosive was even better than another type also
mentioned in connection with the attacks, the American-made C4, the
former head of Belgrade's Military-Technical Institute, Milovan
Azbejkovic told Blic. Azbejkovic said that while Yugoslav explosive
may have been used in the London bombings, he excluded the possibility
that it came from the military supplies of Serbia and Montenegro.
Azbejkovic said that large quantity of plastic explosives had been
left in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, after the disintegration of
Yugoslavia in 1991, and might be easily accessible on the black market.
A French explosives expert assisting London police with their
investigation, Christian Chaboud, said he thought the ordnances were
probably of "miltary origin" and may have come from the Balkans, or
have been obtained from a military establishment by an insider, the
Times of London reported.
Blic also reported that Moroccan-born Mohamed al-Guerbouzi, whose name
was mentioned in the early stages of the investigation into the London
bombings,lived in the Bosnian village of Gornji Rasljani, near
northeast town of Brcko, in the 1990s.
Bosnian Serb daily, Nezavisne novine, also said al-Guerbouzi lived in
the town and published a list of 31 Moroccans and one Turk who lived
in Gornji Rasljani during the 1992-1995 civil war in Bosnia.
The paper said that the list was compiled by Brcko police at the
request of Interpol, but didn't specify to which period the list
referred. Police in Brcko, which is under international protectorate,
said they had no knowledge of the list.
Several hundreds of former mujahedin, Muslim volunteers who fought on
the side of Bosnian Muslims in the civil war remained in the country
and acquired Bosnian nationality. According to intelligence reports,
they operated training camps and recruited local Muslims in what is
called "white Al-Qaeda" for the purpose of carrying out terrorist
attacks in Europe.
Several Greek newspapers this week reported that a team of British
experts had arrived to Belgrade to check the origin of the explosive
used in London, but a high placed police source, which asked not to be
named, told Adnkronos International (AKI) that it was "absolutely not
true".

TERRORISMO: ESPERTO FRANCESE, ATTENTI A ESPLOSIVO DA BALCANI
(ANSA) - PARIGI, 13 LUG - I terroristi islamici sono clienti
potenziali dei trafficanti di armi e di esplosivi, che forniscono gia'
la grande criminalita'. Lo sostiene Louis Caprioli, ex responsabile
del servizio antiterrorismo alla Direzione di sorveglianza del
territorio. ''Se fosse confermato - ha detto Caprioli - che l'
esplosivo utilizzato a Londra era militare, sarebbe la prima volta in
uno dei maggiori attentati di gruppi islamici di questi ultimi anni''.
Fonti della polizia francese sono preoccupate da diversi mesi della
scomparsa di esplosivi della Bosnia, che sono stati sottratti agli
stock dell' esercito da gruppi mafiosi. ''Non si sa quanti ce ne siano
scomparsi nel nulla'', hanno aggiunto le stessi fonti, secondo le
quali le autorita' bosniache non conoscono le quantita' scomparse dai
loro magazzini. ''Finora - viene detto - lo sbocco di queste armi era
la delinquenza comune. Ma si sa che c' e' una tendenza verso gli
islamici''. Secondo Caprioli ''e' disgraziatamente facile introdurre
questo tipo di materiale nell' Europa occidentale''. (ANSA). BL

Attentats de Londres : Rachid Aswat est un agent britannique
http://www.voltairenet.org/article127433.html
Terrorisme: Ces exercices de simulations qui facilitent les attentats
Tout comme les militaires organisent régulièrement des manœuvres pour
tester leur matériel et leur organisation en vue de combats réels, les
puissances publiques civiles ont mis en place des exercices de
simulation d'attentats. Partant d'un scénario catastrophe tel qu'un
avion suicide ou une bombe placée dans le métro, des cabinets de
gestion de crise sont formés qui coordonnent les secours et les

COME FACEVA GREENSPAN A SAPERE DELLE BOMBE DI LONDRA DUE GIORNI PRIMA
DELL'ATTACCO?
(MIKE WHITNEY, www.comedonchisciotte.org)
Due giorni prima delle bombe nella metropolitana, il presidente della
Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan ha improvvisamente immesso quasi 40
miliardi di dollari liquidi nel mercato finanziario.Questa mossa
improvvisa ha rappresentato una sorprendente inversione di tendenza
rispetto alla politica attuale, concentrata sul contenimento dei tassi
d'interesse al fine di mantenere bassa l'inflazione. Il presidente non
ha dato spiegazioni riguardo al suo anomalo comportamento, ma circola
insistentemente la voce che Greenspan possa aver ricevuto in anticipo
informazioni riguardo all'attacco, e che abbia così deciso di dare un
forte impulso "preventivo" ai mercati...

POLIZIOTTI BRITANNICI ADDESTRATI IN ISRAELE
(MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY)
L'omicidio a sangue freddo di Jean Charles de Menezes nella stazione
metropolitana "Stockwell" non è stato un incidente. La Polizia di
Londra aveva già deciso in precedenza di attuare la politica "Spara
per uccidere": "una linea di condotta alquanto controversa e da usare
solo nelle situazioni più estreme, per la cui attuazione però, la
polizia si preparava già da due settimane". La politica "Spara per
Uccidere" è iniziata ufficialmente con l' "Operazione Kratos" (dal
nome del mitologico eroe spartano) effettuata da membri in borghese
dell'Unità Speciale SO19 (i cosiddetti "Berretti Blu"). Si tratta di
uno dei reparti più importanti della polizia londinese, spesso
paragonati agli S.W.A.T. americani. L'addestramento dei tiratori
scelti dell'Unità SO19 è avvenuta in Medio Oriente sotto la diretta
supervisione dell'equivalente reparto speciale israeliano, con lo
scopo di apprendere le più recenti strategie israeliane impiegate
nell'affrontare i Combattenti di Hamas...

London bombers with possible Bosnian connection
Banja Luka - British team of anti-terror investigators
will be heading to Sarajevo on Thursday to probe into
possible Bosnian connection of the last year's bombing
attacks on London, when 52 people died, "Nezavisne
Novine" paper reports, quoting a source from the
Bosnia-Herzegovina's Prosecution Office.
Initially, the news was made public by the Swiss
agency ISN Security Watch.
The paper's source said the British investigators
expressed interest on four British citizens of
Afro-Asian origin, who had been staying in BiH.
"It is believed the brother of one of the London
suicide bombers was among them."
BiH Prosecution Office announced it had received no
notification about British investigators coming in
Sarajevo.
"I would be the first to be aware about anybody
looking into possible connection with the London
attacks of persons who are already subject to our
investigation", Prosecutor Ahmed Helebic told
"Nezavisne Novine".
He is the head of the Bosnian team tasked to examine
suspects who were arrested in BiH under suspicion of
preparing terrorist actions.

British in Bosnia to probe 7 July terror link
ISN Security Watch - January 15, 2006
ISN SECURITY WATCH (15/01/06) – A source in the Bosnian State
Prosecutor's Office has told ISN Security Watch that British
anti-terror investigators are due to arrive in the Bosnian capital,
Sarajevo, this week to investigate a Bosnian link to the 7 July
bombings of London's transport network that killed 52 people,
including the suicide bombers.
The high-ranking source said the British investigators were interested
in four British citizens of Afro-Asian origin who had been under
surveillance in Bosnia, one of which is believed to be the brother of
one of the London suicide bombers.
British anti-terror investigators are scheduled to arrive in Bosnia on
19 January, the source said.
In late October 2005, Bosnian police arrested five teenagers on
suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks on Western embassies in
Sarajevo. Only days later, police in Denmark arrested six teenagers
believed to be linked to those arrested in Bosnia.
The first two men arrested in Sarajevo were identified as Cesur
Abdulkadir and Mirsad Bektasevic, whose confiscated mobile phones and
laptop computers led to the arrest in December of three more suspects
in the Sarajevo suburb of Hadzici. One of the suspects is believed to
be the leader of a Bosnian militant cell.
According to the State Prosecutor's Office, at the same time that
Bektasevic had arrived in Sarajevo from Sweden and Abdulkadir from
Denmark, a young man of Afro-Asian origin with Danish citizenship
arrived from Denmark.
Bosnian police alerted the Danish authorities after finding the Danish
citizen's contacts in the mobile phone and laptops confiscated from
Bektasevic and Abdulkadir. The Bosnian police source said Danish
police had revealed that a raid on the suspect's parents' home in
Denmark had uncovered US$500,000 in cash, and that investigators were
still tracing the money to determine its origin.
ISN Security Watch's source in the Bosnian State Prosecutor's Office,
who spoke on condition of anonymity, said none of the suspects had yet
been indicted, but that their period of detention, which was about to
expire, would be extended as the investigation continued.
Also in late October, Bosnian authorities received information about
the arrival in the western Bosnian city of Bihac of four British
citizens of Afro-Asian origin, who were under surveillance for
suspected radical Islamic activities in Britain, though there were no
concrete suspicions.
After the first arrests were made in October, police temporarily lost
the track of the four British citizens, but traced them to Sarajevo in
December. According to the Prosecutor's Office source, the four stayed
in Sarajevo for approximately one month and then left the country.
Bosnian police currently do not know their whereabouts.
"It appeared that one of those four people was the brother of one of
the suicide bombers in the 7 July attacks on the London transport
network, the senior Bosnian official told ISN Security Watch. "That is
the reason for British officials' visit [on 19 January]," he said.
The source would not reveal the name of the suspect believed to be the
brother of one of the London suicide bombers.
A Bosnian Federation police official also told ISN Security Watch on
condition of anonymity that while the four British citizens were in
Sarajevo, they spent most of their time at the Saudi-funded King Fahd
Mosque, which is frequented by naturalized Bosnians from Arab
countries and fundamentalist Bosnian Muslims who have joined the
Wahhabi movement of strict Islam.
According to ISN Security Watch's source in the Prosecutor's Office,
the four suspects had also visited the Sarajevo suburbs of Vogosca and
Hadzici several times during their stay. The source said the
investigation had shown that Hadzici appeared to be the base for a
Bosnian, or even European, "terror cell", and that one of the three
people arrested in late November in Hadzici appeared to be their leader.
Amir Bajric, Bajro Ikanovic, and a third person whose identity has not
been revealed, were arrested in Hadzici in late November. Prosecutors
said that during the interrogation of Bajric they learned that he and
the third unidentified teenager were members of the same extremist
group as Bektasevic and Abdulkadir, who were arrested earlier in
October. Bajric, Ikanovic, and the third unidentified teenager are
suspected of having provided support and logistics for the alleged
terror cell. Bosnian police seized 16 kilograms of explosives hidden
by the unidentified 19-year-old in a forest near Hadzici.
The source from the Prosecutor's Office said investigators believed
that Ikanovic was the group's leader, saying that the other two had
referred to him as "boss" or "emir". He said Ikanovic had refused to
cooperate with investigators.
Police sources said Ikanovic, a 32-year-old Bosnian national, had no
criminal record. During the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, he fought against
Bosnian Serb forces as a member of the Al-Mujaheed Muslim unit, which
operated on its own, outside the control of the Bosnian Army. The unit
was largely comprised of Bosnian Wahhabis and fighters from Muslim
countries.
A senior official in the Bosnian Federation police told ISN Security
Watch that investigators were also following the movements of three
other people in Sarajevo, suspected of having links to the alleged
network.
"Those three people, all Bosnian citizens, never sleep in one place
for more than a couple of days. Yet, all we can do for now is follow
them because we have no grounds for tapping their phones or raiding
their apartments," the source said.
The source also said that one of the three suspects being followed had
been arrested four years ago by NATO forces in Bosnia on suspicion
that he was plotting attacks on a US military base in northern Bosnia.
A search of his home uncovered a rocket-propelled grenade launcher,
three passports, and an Islamic last will and testament.
After pressure from human rights groups, who protested over the
suspect's detention for four months without the right to contact a
lawyer and without evidence that he was plotting an attack on the US
military base, he was released. He now lives in Sarajevo and either
works at or owns a car wash in the suburb of Stup.
Bosnian police may face similar problems, as they have so far been
unable to charge any of the five suspects arrested.
"Due to the fact that both Abdulkadir and Bektasevic have refused to
cooperate with investigators and have denied that the weapons found in
their apartment were theirs and that they were planning a terror
attack, all we can do is examine the evidence from the apartment," the
source from the Prosecutor's Office said.
Some 30 kilograms of explosives, dozens of guns, a suicide bombers
vest, and a videotaped last will and testament were confiscated in
raids on three apartments being rented out by the two suspects
arrested in October.
The video tape shows the two men asking God for forgiveness for the
sacrifice they were about to make. The two suspects are also shown
making bombs, including one planted in a lemon and another planted in
a tennis ball.
Police also found face masks worn by two of the suspects in the
videotape and hair samples from those face masks believed to belong to
one of the suspects. However, Bosnian forensics teams do not have the
technical capability to analyze these samples.
The Bosnian authorities sent the videotape, a video camera, and other
evidence to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which
sources said were analyzing the samples.
The source said the FBI's forensic tests had shown that the video
camera was the same one used to record the confiscated video tape
containing the bombing-making evidence and the last will and
testament. The hair analysis is expected later this month. The voice
samples from the videotape could not be verified, the Bosnian police
source said.
The source also said that comparing the number of weapons found in the
apartment rented by Bektasevic and Abdulkadir with the number of
weapons seen on the videotape, it was clear that weapons and
explosives were still unaccounted for.
In the last two months, the source said, police had conducted several
anti-terror raids in forests near the town of Kakanj, in the Hadzici
suburb, and in the Bjelasnica mountain area, near Sarajevo.
"We believe that the majority of missing weapons are located in an
abandoned house in one of those three locations and that the videotape
was made there," the source said. However, so far, security forces
have been unable to uncover the location.

TERRORISMO: SLOVENIA; SEQUESTRATI 38 KG DI ESPLOSIVO
(ANSA) - ZAGABRIA, 15 NOV - La polizia slovena ha sgominato nei giorni
scorsi un'organizzazione criminale che si occupava di contrabbando di
materiale esplosivo destinato probabilmente a qualche organizzazione
terroristica, forse di base in Italia. Lo scrive oggi la stampa di
Zagabria. Giovedi' scorso, dopo un anno di intensa sorveglianza, sono
stati fermati a Rogaska Slatina, nel nord della Slovenia non lontano
dal confine croato, cinque uomini, due sloveni, due croati e un
bosniaco con residenza in Slovenia, perche' sospettati di appartenere
a un'organizzazione che si occupava di rivendita di materiale
esplosivo. Data la quantita' e la forza distruttiva dell'esplosivo
sequestrato al momento dell'arresto in un furgoncino proveniente dalla
Croazia 25 kg di pentrite e quello immagazzinato in Slovenia nel corso
di un anno di attivita' di contrabbando cinque kg di Austrogel e sette
di Goma 2 eco - la polizia solvena sospetta che il carico possa essere
stato destinato a qualche organizzazione terroristica. Il valore di
mercato dell'esplosivo ritrovato e' stato stimato a circa 22.000 euro.
A titolo di paragone Robert Mravljak, capo della squadra speciale
slovena che ha guidato l'operazione in collaborazione con le polizie
croata, bosniaca e di alcuni altri paesi, ha spiegato che per
l'attacco terroristico due anni fa a Madrid al Qaida ha usato 12 kg di
Goma. Secondo quanto riferito da Mravljak, tutti gli indizi fanno
pensare che la Slovenia non sia l'obbiettivo di un attacco
terroristico, ma piuttosto una base logistica e di transito da dove
l'esplosivo sarebbe stato poi trasfeito in qualche altro paese,
probabilmete in Italia. Tutti i fermati si sono per ora avvalsi del
diritto di non rispondere e rischiano da uno a dieci anni di carcere.

Terror network linked to BiH reportedly targeted Washington landmarks
LONDON, Britain - A terrorist network stretching from
the United States to Britain and to Bosnia and
Herzegovina (BiH) may have planned bomb attacks on
Washington landmarks including the White House or
Capitol Hill, international media reported Saturday (5
November).
Investigators found evidence of the plot when they
arrested three suspected Islamic militants in London.
The terror network's main recruiter initially operated
out of Sweden before moving to BiH.
In other news, Spain has agreed to extradite to
Algeria two suspects wanted there on terrorism
charges.
One of them, identified as Abdelkrim Hammad, was
trained to make bombs in Al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan
and fought in BiH and Kosovo in the 1990s. (AFP, AFP,

FRENCH INTELLIGENCE SAYS BOMBS USED IN LONDON TERROR ATTACKS WERE FROM
KOSOVO
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis - July 23, 2005
French UCLAT Chief Notes Balkan Link to London Bombings
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis - July 18, 2005 Monday
Analysis. By Valentine Spyroglou, GIS. Christope Chaboud, the new
commandant of the anti-terrorist unit of France (UCLAT: l'unite de
coordination de la lutte anti-terroriste ], a unit of the French
criminal police, Police Judiciaire (PJ) which specializes in the fight
against terrorism, said on July 13, 2005, that the explosives used in
the London terrorist bombings on July 7, 2005, were of military
derivation and had come to the UK from Kosovo.
GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs had already known that the bombs used
were based on former Yugoslav National Army (JNA) stocks of Semtex
plastic explosive, and that subsequent to the London bombings, UK
security officials flew to Belgrade to discuss the matter with
Serbia-Montenegro security officials. GIS sources had said that the
Semtex had originated from the Bosnian jihadist support network,
although it is important to stress that the
Bosnia-Kosovo-Albania-Raska (Southern Serbia) jihadist net functions
as a single operational zone.

Laws by New Bosnian Ambassador to US .
Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis, July 13, 2005: Despite
Firm Linkages to 9/11, Madrid, and London Attacks, Bosnian Jihadist
Networks Remain "Out of Bounds" .
Sources within the Greek security agencies -- which have extremely
good access in the Balkans and are very activated in the region --
after the London bombings told GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs that "for
years" they had given information to their allies for the activity and
the danger derived by the Islamists in Bosnia and Kosovo and Albania;
although there is no reciprocation on their part (ie: the allies do
not respond by providing intelligence on the jihadists to the Greek
security agencies). Furthermore, the Greek security sources stated
that "a month ago and after information derived from the Greek
agencies and the Greek military force in KFOR, CIA and MI-6
disarticulated three cells of al-Qaida in their common operation held
in Kosovo. They had also found contemporary armament and military
plastic explosives. A comparison was held between the oddments of the
explosives in London, and the explosives found in Kosovo one month
[earlier]." For the results, the agency simply told GIS that they only
needed to be asked.
By way of background: on July 27, 2000, beginning at 05:30 hrs, a
common operation was held in Greece by the Greek agencies and the US
Army under the code name Fuente . The Greek patrol of the Special
Forces, discovered, based on information which directed them to the
site, a clandestine cache with many armaments and explosives on
Kourkoulitsa mountain, in the Greek Peleponnese, near the village
Nepodible (as transliterated). Among other things, there were sniper
weapons, and manportable rockets of contemporary technology. Also,
there were found electronic devices which could simultaneously
detonate remote-controlled explosive devices in different locations
from a distance of many kilometres.
The US Forces had kept the remote control devices and the explosives
for further investigation.
The Greek officers continued independent research, and they concluded
that these derived from a country in the Middle East, which had
supplied them to Islamists via the Albanian network of UCK (KLA:
Kosovo Liberation Army). The Greek Force has arrested three times
fundamentalists in Kosovo, and has handed them over to the US.
The Greek agencies focus in the area of Sanzak (Raska) in southern
Serbia and northern Montenegro, and they consider that there are
located important cells of fundamentalists which had planned strikes
against Europe. Since 1996, jihadist terrorists from
Bosnia-Herzegovina have been located in Sanzak. The Greek agencies
have information that many terrorist attacks against the Caucasus and
Europe derive from there, and it operates as a directorate of al-Qaida .
At the same time, and while the memorial events were taking place for
the victims of Srebrenica, former US Assistant Secretary of State
Richard Holbrook stated that the Orthodox Serbian Church was hiding
the Bosnian Serb fugitives Radovan Karadzic and Gen. Ratko Mladic. On
July 8, 2005, the NATO forces in Bosnia arrested the son of former
Pres. Karadzic, Aleksandar "Sasa" Karadzic, in order to put pressure
on the former President for his arrest.
Another important issue emerging are the charges against Greek
citizens for alleged involvement in the alleged massacres in
Srebrenica. This issue remains secret within the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the Greek
Government at this point, although the (ICTY) sent a confidential
report in the Greek Government at the beginning of July 2005 on the
possible role of Greek volunteers who fought in Srebrenica.

LONDON BOMBS: SERB MEDIA LINK EXPLOSIVES TO BALKANS
Belgrade, 14 July (AKI) - As British police investigating last week's
London bombings search for the one man who is believed to have
assembled all four devices, Serb media are speculating that the type
of explosive used in the attacks may have originated in the Balkans.
According to Belgrade daily, Blic, only four countries in the world
produce or have produced the type of high-grade military plastic
explosives believed to have been used in the Thursday, 7 July,
attacks, and that the type produced in the fomer Yugoslavia was of the
"best quality."
The Yugoslav explosive was even better than another type also
mentioned in connection with the attacks, the American-made C4, the
former head of Belgrade's Military-Technical Institute, Milovan
Azbejkovic told Blic. Azbejkovic said that while Yugoslav explosive
may have been used in the London bombings, he excluded the possibility
that it came from the military supplies of Serbia and Montenegro.
Azbejkovic said that large quantity of plastic explosives had been
left in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, after the disintegration of
Yugoslavia in 1991, and might be easily accessible on the black market.
A French explosives expert assisting London police with their
investigation, Christian Chaboud, said he thought the ordnances were
probably of "miltary origin" and may have come from the Balkans, or
have been obtained from a military establishment by an insider, the
Times of London reported.
Blic also reported that Moroccan-born Mohamed al-Guerbouzi, whose name
was mentioned in the early stages of the investigation into the London
bombings,lived in the Bosnian village of Gornji Rasljani, near
northeast town of Brcko, in the 1990s.
Bosnian Serb daily, Nezavisne novine, also said al-Guerbouzi lived in
the town and published a list of 31 Moroccans and one Turk who lived
in Gornji Rasljani during the 1992-1995 civil war in Bosnia.
The paper said that the list was compiled by Brcko police at the
request of Interpol, but didn't specify to which period the list
referred. Police in Brcko, which is under international protectorate,
said they had no knowledge of the list.
Several hundreds of former mujahedin, Muslim volunteers who fought on
the side of Bosnian Muslims in the civil war remained in the country
and acquired Bosnian nationality. According to intelligence reports,
they operated training camps and recruited local Muslims in what is
called "white Al-Qaeda" for the purpose of carrying out terrorist
attacks in Europe.
Several Greek newspapers this week reported that a team of British
experts had arrived to Belgrade to check the origin of the explosive
used in London, but a high placed police source, which asked not to be
named, told Adnkronos International (AKI) that it was "absolutely not
true".

TERRORISMO: ESPERTO FRANCESE, ATTENTI A ESPLOSIVO DA BALCANI
(ANSA) - PARIGI, 13 LUG - I terroristi islamici sono clienti
potenziali dei trafficanti di armi e di esplosivi, che forniscono gia'
la grande criminalita'. Lo sostiene Louis Caprioli, ex responsabile
del servizio antiterrorismo alla Direzione di sorveglianza del
territorio. ''Se fosse confermato - ha detto Caprioli - che l'
esplosivo utilizzato a Londra era militare, sarebbe la prima volta in
uno dei maggiori attentati di gruppi islamici di questi ultimi anni''.
Fonti della polizia francese sono preoccupate da diversi mesi della
scomparsa di esplosivi della Bosnia, che sono stati sottratti agli
stock dell' esercito da gruppi mafiosi. ''Non si sa quanti ce ne siano
scomparsi nel nulla'', hanno aggiunto le stessi fonti, secondo le
quali le autorita' bosniache non conoscono le quantita' scomparse dai
loro magazzini. ''Finora - viene detto - lo sbocco di queste armi era
la delinquenza comune. Ma si sa che c' e' una tendenza verso gli
islamici''. Secondo Caprioli ''e' disgraziatamente facile introdurre
questo tipo di materiale nell' Europa occidentale''. (ANSA). BL

Attentats de Londres : Rachid Aswat est un agent britannique

Terrorisme: Ces exercices de simulations qui facilitent les attentats
Tout comme les militaires organisent régulièrement des manœuvres pour
tester leur matériel et leur organisation en vue de combats réels, les
puissances publiques civiles ont mis en place des exercices de
simulation d'attentats. Partant d'un scénario catastrophe tel qu'un
avion suicide ou une bombe placée dans le métro, des cabinets de
gestion de crise sont formés qui coordonnent les secours et les
premières réactions. Mais l'étude de plusieurs cas récents montre que
ce qui devait permettre de sauver des vies a, en fait, été utilisé
pour faciliter des attentats. Des exercices de simulation se
déroulaient ainsi à Londres le 7 juillet 2005 ou à New York le 11
septembre...

Nach Srebrenica – und nach London
Zwei Planeten
12.07.2005 - Jürgen Elsässer - Heute ist in den westlichen Printmedien
der Höhepunkt einer Schizophrenie zu bestaunen, die die
Metropolenbewohner schon länger am klaren Denken hindert. Auf der
einen Seite werden die Moslems anläßlich des zehnten
Srebrenica-Jahrestages als die Opfer par excellence präsentiert, auf
der anderen bezüglich des Terroranschlages von London als Natural born
killers....

Scotland Yard untersucht Spur zum Balkan
13.07.2005 - Jürgen Elsässer - ...Gleichzeitig sind erstmals Indizien
aufgetaucht, wonach es eine Verbindung der Londoner Bluttat mit dem
nur notdürftig befriedeten Kriegssschauplatz im ehemaligen Jugoslawien
geben könnte. Die Times schrieb gestern, daß die für die vier
Anschläge verwendeten Explosivstoffe wahrscheinlich von ein und
demselben Hersteller produziert wurden, daß es sich dabei um
militärisches Sprengmaterial handele und es »vom Balkan gekommen sein
könnte«. Nach Gesprächen mit britischen Ermittlern streute auch
Christophe Chaboud, Leiter einer französischen Koordinationsstelle zur
Terrorbekämpfung, einen entsprechenden Hinweis auf »Schmuggel, zum
Beispiel vom Balkan«...

COME FACEVA GREENSPAN A SAPERE DELLE BOMBE DI LONDRA DUE GIORNI PRIMA
DELL'ATTACCO?
(MIKE WHITNEY, www.comedonchisciotte.org)
Due giorni prima delle bombe nella metropolitana, il presidente della
Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan ha improvvisamente immesso quasi 40
miliardi di dollari liquidi nel mercato finanziario.Questa mossa
improvvisa ha rappresentato una sorprendente inversione di tendenza
rispetto alla politica attuale, concentrata sul contenimento dei tassi
d'interesse al fine di mantenere bassa l'inflazione. Il presidente non
ha dato spiegazioni riguardo al suo anomalo comportamento, ma circola
insistentemente la voce che Greenspan possa aver ricevuto in anticipo
informazioni riguardo all'attacco, e che abbia così deciso di dare un
forte impulso "preventivo" ai mercati...

LE STRANE COINCIDENZE TRA LONDRA E l ' 11 SETTEMBRE
(JOHN J. ALBANESE, POAC- Comedonchisciotte.org)
Nel riportare questi fatti ci sono tre punti chiave dell'attacco di
Londra che sembrano particolarmente simili ad altrettanti fatti
dell'attacco dell'undici settembre. <u><b>Strane coincidenze numero 1
</b></u> Come per l'11 settembre, le bombe di Londra del 7 luglio 2005
sono esplose nel luogo esatto dove erano previste le "prove di allerta
in caso di esplosione di bombe" quella stessa mattina...

POLIZIOTTI BRITANNICI ADDESTRATI IN ISRAELE
(MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY)
L'omicidio a sangue freddo di Jean Charles de Menezes nella stazione
metropolitana "Stockwell" non è stato un incidente. La Polizia di
Londra aveva già deciso in precedenza di attuare la politica "Spara
per uccidere": "una linea di condotta alquanto controversa e da usare
solo nelle situazioni più estreme, per la cui attuazione però, la
polizia si preparava già da due settimane". La politica "Spara per
Uccidere" è iniziata ufficialmente con l' "Operazione Kratos" (dal
nome del mitologico eroe spartano) effettuata da membri in borghese
dell'Unità Speciale SO19 (i cosiddetti "Berretti Blu"). Si tratta di
uno dei reparti più importanti della polizia londinese, spesso
paragonati agli S.W.A.T. americani. L'addestramento dei tiratori
scelti dell'Unità SO19 è avvenuta in Medio Oriente sotto la diretta
supervisione dell'equivalente reparto speciale israeliano, con lo
scopo di apprendere le più recenti strategie israeliane impiegate
nell'affrontare i Combattenti di Hamas...
