-Caveat Lector- Note the source... ================================================== British Mercenaries Allegedly Aid Turks NICOSIA (Nov. 2) XINHUA - A British "security" company has offered Turks help in destroying vital military targets in Cyprus, local newspapers said on Tuesday. Quoting a recent report from the British newspaper Sunday Times, local papers said that Aims Ltd. of Salisbury in Wiltshire has offered the Turks expertise and personnel to help them "neutralize" critical military targets in southern Cyprus. Cyprus has been divided into the Turkish Cypriots-controlled north and the Greek Cypriots-dominated south since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and occupied the northern third of the island in the wake of a failed coup seeking union with Athens. The British "security" company has close ties with Britain's secret services and the Special Air Service (SAS)'s anti-terrorist unit. The company, which is currently under investigation by the Scotland Yard, had proof war between Turkey and Greece, the newspapers said. The director of the British company insisted that the company had the approval of the British government. The newspapers said the company was also willing to "neutralize" suspected Kurdish bases in Cyprus. Aims Ltd. is under investigation after the Sunday Times disclosed that it had plotted to murder Abdullah Ocalan, leader of Turkey's outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) and had been engaged in a series of mercenary activities. Ocalan was sentenced to death on treason and separatism charges on June 29 for leading a 15-year guerrilla war for autonomy in predominantly Kurdish Southeast Turkey. ======================= Robert F.
