- Intelligence sources: Plane incident a false flag
involving trinity of CIA, Mossad, and RAW.
-
- The Christmas Day attempt by the Nigerian son of a prominent
Nigerian banker and business tycoon connected closely to top Nigerian leaders
to detonate a chemical improvised explosive device aboard Delta Airlines
flight 253 from Amsterdam Schiphol to Detroit was a false flag operation
carried out by the intelligence tripartite grouping of the CIA, Mossad,
and India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), according to WMR's Asian
intelligence sources who closely monitor the activities of the three agencies
in India and Southeast Asia.
-
- The tripartite alliance of the CIA, Mossad, and RAW were
behind the terrorist attacks on Mumbai earlier this year and on December
28, Rupee News reported the three agencies worked together, along with
former Afghan KHAD intelligence agents, to assassinated former Pakistani
Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto: "The Benazir assassination was pre-planned
and executed via triangulation by Khad, RAW, CIA and Mossad using the most
modern radio active weapons available in the market. The Israeli PM
publicly admitted helping India in Kargil recently. The purpose of
the covert Khad, RAW, CIA, Mossad operations is to destabilize Pakistan.
The IMF plan to de-fang Pakistan in 2000 did not work, but provincial autonomy
will make the center bankrupt triggering an implosion."
-
- The outcome of the failed terrorist attempt by Umar Farouk
Abdulmutallab on the Detroit-bound plane has resulted in major Christmas
gifts for the neocons and militarists who still call the shots on U.S.
policy: the deployment of privacy-invasive millimeter wave (MMW) full body
scanning equipment at airports in North America and Europe [ranking member
of the House Homeland Security Committee, Representative Peter King (R-NY),
who is an ardent defender of the Catholic Church and its prelates
in Ireland, has defended the scanning system which can image the naked
bodies of passengers, including children and babies], an increase in the
U.S. military and intelligence presence in Yemen, retention of US PATRIOT
Act surveillance provisions, an increase in racial profiling of Arabs
and Muslims -- and because Mutallab is African -- blacks in the United
States, and more cumbersome travel restrictions for airline passengers.
-
- The neocon propagandists are already spinning counter-claims
to reports that indicate that Mutallab was a witting accomplice of a larger
plot cooked up by American, Israeli, ajd Indian intelligence agents to
carry out yet another false flag terror operation on American soil. The
eyewitness testimonies of Michigan attorney Kurt Haskell and his attorney
wife Lori Haskell are being pilloried by the corporate media after the
two were featured on major U.S. television networks. Haskell and his wife
witnessed a "well-dressed Indian man" arrange for Mutallab to board
Delta 253 without a passport at the check-in desk at Schiphol. Haskell
told CBS News: "Only the Indian man spoke, and what he said was, this
man needs to board the plane, and he doesn't have a passport. And the ticket
agent then responded saying you need a passport to board the plane, and
the Indian man then said he's from Sudan. We do this all
the time."
-
- WMR has learned that the Indian man is suspected by Asian
intelligence services of being an RAW agent who used his influence to convince
airline and airport security personnel that Mutallab was a bona fide Sudanese
refugee. Mutallab reportedly spent several hours in a Schiphol airport
lounge before boarding the Delta flight. Dutch agents are reportedly scanning
Schiphol CCTV footage and have reason to believe that Mutallab had accomplices
at the airport, which bolsters the witness accounts of the Haskells.
The FBI has interviewed the Haskells and the bureau, as is its modus operandi,
appears to be intimidating witnesses and pressuring them to support the
government's party line.
-
- The neocon spin machine is also refuting reports that
Mutallab traveled to the United States without a passport and that his
ticket was only one-way. The facts emerging are that Mutallab was not traveling
on a Nigerian passport but on an Italian passport. Mutallab's father, Alhaji
Umaru Mutallab, happens to hold the Italian Order of Merit. In addition,
Mutallab's ticket was purchased in Accra, Ghana with $2,831 in
cash and was later re-issued, on December 16, with a different itinerary
at the KLM office in Lagos. The original itinerary was Lagos-Amsterdam-Detroit-Amsterdam-Accra
but the return leg on January 8, 2010, was changed from Amsterdam to Lagos
instead of Accra.
-
- Previously, WMR reported that the security company that
cleared Mutallab in Schiphol is ICTS, a firm that is headquartered in Israel
and Amstelveen, Netherlands. The firm also cleared attempted shoe bomber
Richard Reid for a Miami-bound American Airlines flight from Paris in December
2001. Reid, who was bound for Antigua, was profiled after he purchased his
ticket at a travel agency in the 18th arrondisement in Paris. Reid had
previously traveled to Turkey, Pakistan, Israel, Egypt, the Netherlands,
Belgium and France and he obtained pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN),
a component of the explosive Semtex, and his specially-designed shoes in
Amsterdam. Reid was linked by French authorities to French convert
to Islam Jerome Courtailler, who, in 2004, was sentenced in absentia by
a Dutch court to six years for plotting to attack U.S. targets in Belgium
and France. Mutallab's undershorts also contained PETN.
-
- There is a possibility that Mutallab was recruited to
carry out a false flag attack after another one failed on November 13.
A Somali man was arrested at Mogadishu airport with the same chemicals,
powder, and syringe combination that Mutallab used to ignite his clothing.
The Somali man was attempting to board a Daallo Airlines flight from Mogadishu
to Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, Djibouti, and Dubai.
-
- Daallo is the national flag carrier of Djibouti and is
owned by Dubai World's Istithmar World Aviation (IWA) Holdings. Dubai World's
recent financial woes sent shock waves through the global financial community.
It is also noteworthy that Delta 253 passenger Jasper Schuringa, the young
man who wrestled Mutallab to the ground and prevented him from carrying
out his terrorist mission, was driven to Schiphol on Christmas morning
by his friend Chris Van Amersfoort. Van Amersfoort's Facebook page lists
himself as a "fan of" Dubai World's owner "His Highness
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum," the Emir of Dubai.
-
- Daallo Airlines has an interline agreement with a single
U.S. airline, which happens to be Delta Airlines, the same airline that
saw Mutallab successfully board its flight 253 in Schiphol. The ahas similar
agreements with other airlines that fly to the United States, including
Qatar Airways, Saudia, Ethiopian Airlines, and Alitalia.
-
- Schuringa's father works for Shell and in 1993 they were
evacuated by the French foreign Legion from Gabon during riots by demonstrators
opposed to the tainted re-election of Gabon's presidential dictator Omar
Bongo. The Curacao-born Jasper Schuringa attended film school in Miami
and he also lived in Oman. After accusations in the media that he was publicizing
himself over the Muttalab incident, Schuringa largely receded from public
view. Schuringa was en route to Costa Rica via Detroit to visit his
sister. The National Counter-terrorism office in The Hague is being mum
about any connections it had with Schuringa, according to the
Dutch paper Parool.
-
- On October 18, a little less than a month prior
to the attempt by the syringe- and chemical-armed Somali to board the Daallo
Airlines flight from Mogadishu, Shaykh Muqtaar Abu Zubeyr, the leader of
Somalia's radical Al Shahab Islamic Movement, warned Somalis in leaflets
distributed in Mogadoshu's Bakaraha market and other points in the city
not to fly on Daallo Airlines, Somalia's largest carrier, because he said
the airline had "close ties" with the Transitional Federal Government
of Somalia, the United States and the "Jewish government"
of Israel.
-
- Before moving from Egypt, Mutallab was in an MBA course
in Dubai at the time of the Daallo warning. Mutallab later dropped out
of school in Dubai.
-
- Mutallab's father Umaru, the retired Chairman of First
Bank of Nigeria (FBN), is among the top elite of Nigeria, counting
among his friends the top royalty of northern Nigeria, including the Emir
of Gombe, the Emir of Zazzau, and the Sultan of Sokoto, as well as Nigerian
President Umaru Musa Yar' Adua, who has been recovering from a mysterious
illness in Saudi Arabia. Mutallab's empire included FBN (UK), which its
president described as "the very first UK bank owned by a Nigerian
bank and could be counted as an equal to other UK banks." Mutalan
was also a contender to be President of the National Council of the Nigeria
Stock Exchange. In 2003, Mutallab formed Nigeria's first Islamic bank,
Jaiz International Bank.
-
- The same bureaucratic stove-piping issues used by the
U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities to explain away the lack
of intelligence on the 9/11 attacks are at play with the Delta 253 incident.
Of course, all these problems were to have been solved by the creation
of the Department of Homeland Security and the Directorate of National
Intelligence. Mutallab was entered as a terrorist suspect in the Terrorist
Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) database of 500,000 names maintained
by the Director of National Intelligence's National Counter-terrorism Center
(NCTC) but not on the "no fly" list maintained by the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA).
-
- On November 19, just six days after the Somali attempted
to board the plane in Mogadishu with a syringe and chemicals, the elder
Mutallab met with the CIA Station Chief at the U.S. embassy in Abuja, the
Nigerian capital. Mutallab told the CIA official that he was concerned
about the radicalization of his son, who was called "Alfa" --
a term for Islamic scholar -- while attending the British International
School in Lome, Togo. The elder Mutallab was quite emphatic that his son
posed a significant security risk.
-
- After dropping out of the MBA program in Dubai, the younger
Mutallab turned off his cell phone and destroyed the phone's SIM
card before leaving Dubai for Yemen where it is said he wished to imrove
his Arabic. It is not known who bought Mutallab's ticket to Detroit
in Accra and why the return destination was changed from Accra to
Lagos. Mutallab's multiple entry visa for the United States was issued
on June 16, 2008 with an expiration date of June 16, 2010.
-
- In response to the elder Mutallab's warning, the U.S.
embassy in Abuja, the embassy sent a Visa Viper cable to the State Department
and NCTC on November 20. However, Mutallab's name was not added to the
no-fly list. The State Department is refusing to disclose the classification
of Mutallab's visa and State Department spokesman Ian Kelly is refusing
to reveal information on Mutallab's visa application.
-
- The Daily Trust of Abuja penned the following
editorial in the aftermath of the flight 253 incident: "The story
caused anxiety among regular air travellers, not only for the safety of
planes, but also for the kind of reception that Nigerian travellers to
Europe and the US, especially Muslim ones, are likely to get in the next
months and years.
-
- The story also excited Northern Nigeria's many conspiracy
theorists, who think another grand Western plot is in the offing to tarnish
the image of Muslims, possibly as a prelude to another invasion."
The editorial added, "Among officials of Nigeria's embattled Federal
Government, though, the story caused a mix of anxiety and relief. Anxiety,
because it threatens to throw this country's fitful Rebranding Campaign
into further chaos. But it provided welcome relief from endless newspaper
commentaries on President Yar'adua's health."
-
- The Nigerians are obviously suspicious also about
those behind the attempt on the aircraft. The Abuja editorial continues:
"Bringing down a plane is not a thought that comes easily to people
in Northern Nigeria. Most people here, with me as a typical example, cannot
breathe easily in a plane until it hits the tarmac. A man who holds fast
to a plane's aluminium frame for support during a turbulent take-off hardly
can think of bombing it. This explosive substance that Faruk allegedly
used in the Delta Airlines plane, pentaerythritol or PETN, may be known
to British school kids, but I have never heard of it. To think that I once
taught in a university's Faculty of Science.
-
- If indeed Faruk told the Americans that he was an
Al-Qaeda operative, then he was a very poor one, to be frank. His
bomb, which he said he got in Yemen, was weak [exploding like a fire
cracker] and technically deficient [failed to go off properly].
-
- He was easily subdued by a film producer, did not struggle
when he was grabbed, did not say anything when they held him, and almost
as soon as he reached the FBI station, he began to sing like a canary.
Sounds very much like the gentle British lad that he is."
