-- According to information from sources within the German authorities,
a German contact person for the CIA was involved in the planning of what
would have been the largest Islamic terror attacks on German soil. He
supposedly helped transport 20 detonators.
It was a hot day in August last year, when the 15-year old Alaeddine T.
from Braunschweig met a tall, sporty man, who called himself Obeida, in
a mosque in Istanbul. The boy later told officials of the Federal
Criminal Investigation Office, that Obeida gave him a bag with jeans and
a few shoes and told him to take the bag to Germany.
On August 26 Alaeddine gave the bag to T. at a mosque in Braunschweig.
A week later the young man, who received the bag was presented to the
world by the international media: Fritz Gelowicz, 29 years old, a muslim
convert from Ulm.
Together with its fellow believers Adem Yilmaz, 29, and Daniel
Schneider, 22, he had supposedly planned attacks on American and Uzbek
installations in Germany.
Hidden in the shoes from Turkey were 20 detonators. The person who had
originally handed over the bag in Istanbul was apparently a CIA contact
and came from the Pfalz region, as the STERN has learned from security
circles.
Mevlüt K., a 29 year old Turk from Ludwigshafen, is known to German
investigators since 1997 as "Obeida, the turk".
He was a member of the radical Islamic group "Imam Einheit" and was
allegedly providing false passports to the terror organisation "Al
Tawhid" and collecting donations for the armed Jihad.
He was also suspected to have provided explosives for an attack in Saudi
Arabia. In August 2002 Mevlüt K. was arrested at the airport of Ankara
and was in detention (in Turkey) until November 2003.
He was probably enlisted during this time by the CIA and was planted
inside the so called "Sauerland Trio" around Fritz Gelowicz.
Last week the Federal Prosecutor's Office submitted its 259-page
indictment against Gelowicz, Yilmaz and the others.
The investigators found out, that the "Sauerland Gruppe", wanted to blow
up army barracks, pubs or discotheques in large German cities.
In addition the young Muslims had purchased twelve barrels of hydrogen
peroxide, which inside a mixture with flour, would have had an explosive
yield of 410 kilograms TNT, according to computations of consultants
from the Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations.
The planned targets: army barracks or pubs. Together the group had got
hold of 26 detonators. Six originated from Bulgaria and Serbia.
The 20 detonators, which were handed over in Istanbul, were of Czech
origin. How they got to the contact man of the CIA, does not seem to be
clarified yet. There are leads that the detonators came from Syria.
There are also traces leading to Lebanon, possibly to a former
Palestinian transition camp, which was bombed later.
Technicians of the Federal Criminal Investigation Office who examined
some the detonators more closely wrote in their report, which is known
to STERN: "Only two of the altogether 17 tested detonators were
functional." The others would not have ignited, since they had been too
damp.
