Bin Laden Buys Child Slaves for His Drug Farms
in Africa
The world's most wanted terrorist pays Ugandan rebels one
Kalashnikov rifle for every youngster they supply. The children are
then used as forced labour on the Sudan marijuana fields that fund
his terror network.

KAMPALA, UGANDA - Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted
terrorist, is buying child slaves from Ugandan rebels and using them
as forced labour on marijuana farms in Sudan to fund his
international terrorism network.
New evidence indicates that bin Laden, who masterminded the
bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania last
August, has made Sudan the centre of his global empire.
Sudan, whose Islamic government has close links with bin Laden, is
the long-standing patron of the Lord's Resistance Army rebels who
have abducted at least 8,000 children from northern Uganda since
1994 and forced them to serve as soldiers or sexual playthings.
Others have been sold into slavery in Sudan in exchange for guns
and ammunition.
Brig Katumba Wamala, commander of the Ugandan forces fighting
the rebels, said: "We know that large numbers of children abducted
by the LRA are being sold into slavery in Sudan."
Many are bought by bin Laden, via Arab slave traders. "Bin Laden is
the main buyer of these children. He has very big marijuana farms
in Sudan and he buys the children as slave labourers," said Brig
Wamala.
Evidence comes from children who have escaped the slave
dealers. "We have the testimony of abducted children and we also
have intercepted radio conversations," said Brig Wamala.
Radio intercepts show that bin Laden pays one Kalashnikov assault
rifle for every child he buys. Joseph Kony, the LRA leader, is in
desperate need of weapons and has recently complained of being
cheated.
"It is on the record that Kony was complaining about the exchange
rate. Once the Arabs gave him 98 guns for the 100 children he had
given them. He complained very bitterly. It is a very lucrative
business," said Brig Wamala. Ugandan intelligence sources have
tracked the fate of children sold into the Sudanese slave trade. After
being abducted, they are forced to march to Jabelin, the LRA's
headquarters 34 miles south of Juba, the main city in southern
Sudan.
"Here a selection is made on the basis of physical appearance,"
said the source. "The girls and some of the boys are taken away for
what is called special training. They are sold into slavery, while the
rest are used as soldiers."
Many of the girls are taken to Nsitu camp, 15 miles south of Juba,
from where they are distributed to Arab slave dealers. Once sold,
the children are taken to Juba airport and flown to other regions of
Sudan. Both of these camps are supplied by the Sudanese
government.
According to a source who visited them in July 1997, Nsitu is less
than 200 yards from a Sudanese army base. Within the perimeter of
Jabelin camp, Sudanese government troops are housed alongside
LRA rebels.
Ugandan intelligence has monitored the close links between bin
Laden and the Sudanese government. "After being expelled from
Saudi Arabia, bin Laden lived in Sudan from 1994 until 1996," said
an intelligence source. "He has a wide range of business interests
there, covering farms, banks, factories and infrastructure. These are
used to fund terrorism in Africa and elsewhere."
The marijuana farms worked by bin Laden's child slaves are located
in the Nile Valley, north of Khartoum. In the same area, he has
several large sunflower plantations, where slave labour may also be
used.
Ugandan intelligence believes that bin Laden has invested pounds
30 million in front organisations for his terror network.
He has also helped to finance major infrastructure projects in
Sudan.
Uganda believes that bin Laden's web of terror is aimed at toppling
African governments, as well as striking at British and American
interests worldwide.
"Sudan has offered itself as a training ground for terrorists. We
know of 17 terrorist training camps and the target is to install Islamic
fundamentalist governments in east and central Africa by 2002,"
said the source. "That is why bin Laden is helping them to sponsor
rebels and kidnap and enslave our children."
