Not a new idea or was it? Why New York....and oh these kids were
celebrating Adolph Hitler's Birthday? Hardly - Klebon was Jewish and
grandson of Leon Yassenoff - who ran with the pack?
Interesting item here but note what this Russian states about Israel
practicing in the skies for acts of terrorism? And then remember the
USS Liberty and Lavon Affair.....
Six months before Twin Towers Israel playing war games in skies using
terrorist tactics?
Kosyakov: I'll give you two examples. Half a year ago, Israeli
intelligence carried out an exercise with the use of aerial objects for
carrying out terrorist acts. For certain, the Americans had some
information about these exercises. But it did not even occur to them to
apply this experience for their own purposes. "

THE semi-official Russian news service "Strana.ru" published on
September 14, 2001 an interview with Andrei Kosyakov, described as a
former aide to the Chairman of the Subcommittee for Monitoring
Intelligence Service Activities, under the Supreme Soviet of Russia
(while that existed, 1991-1993).
The interview has a number of interesting elements, particularly in the
second half, which intersect Tatyana Koryagina's earlier strong warning
(about the collapse of the US dollar expected on August 19).

Russian Intelligence Figure Analyzes Further Threats to United States
Q: WHAT shows that the attack in the U.S. was planned over a long time?
Kosyakov: First of all, people with professional flying skills were
selected.
There were are least four such agents [one for each plane], and they
most probably each had a back-up, because of the high probability that
the planned pilot could be injured during the hijacking.
Secondly, all participants in the operation were prepared for martyrdom,
and such people are not easy to find. Finally, the departure of four
aircraft from four [sic] different points occurred at intervals of
minutes. That means that the distances, times of flight, and schedules
were calculated beforehand, and flights were chosen that could reach the
strike targets within the most convenient interval of time. This is all
quite complicated to calculate, considering that the airliners also had
to be seized.
Q: . . . Some analysts say that only a state could do this.
Kosyakov: The preparation time has to have been months. And the
organization must be quite powerful. In our view, the participation of
some state, is doubtful. . . Not a single secret service would
accept such casualties. They train their members in a different way. Now
if Bush had been killed, then one might suspect the secret service of
some country. But in this case the target was the civilian
population. . .
Q: And what follows from all this?
Kosyakov: You see, in evaluating the situation one fact stuck out. It is
known that there were telephone calls from the airplanes. One of the
passengers that called was a professional journalist. But, the media has
not made any mention of a description of the terrorists. None of the
passengers who called said, for example,
"we have been hijacked by Arab terrorists." Not one of them described
what the terrorists looked like, their accents, pronunciation; nothing
caused the callers to want to characterize them in some way. . .
Q: Couldn't the secret services conceal this information?
Kosyakov: These were private phone calls, which not even the FBI could
keep secret. The conclusion suggests itself that the outward appearance
of the hijackers in no way distinguished them from the rest of the
passengers. Only then, would a person fail to mention any features of
the hijackers. This suggests that the hijackers looked Caucasian.
There is also another fact, pointing to this. The criminals left a big
lead: a rental car was found, left at the airport out of which a plane
was hijacked, filled with the Koran, and flying manuals in Arabic. But
then look: Not a single organization has claimed responsibility. That
means, the terrorists want to conceal their identity.
So, given such professionalism, given such extreme care, how could such
an error be permitted? This hardly fits with the minute detail of the
planning of the action.
All this points to the conclusion that the criminals wanted to leave a
false trail. The secret services will pay no attention to ordinary
Americans or Europeans, but will look for Arabs.
Q: But isn't the practice of self-sacrifice typical of Muslim culture?
Kosyakov: You are quite correct. But who told you that the dead
hijackers were not Muslims?. . . Based on the information we have,
analysis might lead us to the conclusion that the perpetrators were
American or European followers of radical Islam. Meanwhile, the real
criminals are being saved for the next actions. For it is quite clear
that a combination is being played that has several moves.
Q: You mean, you think there will be new attacks?
Kosyakov: Unfortunately, I think we must prepare ourselves for new acts
of terror, in a different form, but just as effective.
Our estimates indicate that ships could be used to ram hydroelectric
infrastructure. Imagine a dam being hit by a passenger ship, or a tanker
with two or three thousand tons of oil. It would inundate a couple of
cities with a population of a million and a half, plus burning oil on
top.
Or another possibility: train lines under the Hudson River, which could
be exploded from above or below. And water would rush into the tunnels.
Q: You say the attack will be in America?
Kosyakov: Yes. First of all, the terrorists want to demonstrate their
skill. Secondly, remember that besides the airplanes, also an automobile
was blown up. So, what would have prevented the terrorists from also
simultaneously blowing up a couple of automobiles in Europe, if they are
preparing to carry out actions all over the world? No, the target was
America, and the civilian population in particular.
Q: But some analysts say that if Bush had been in the White House on
Sept. 11, then the one airplane would have fallen onto his residence,
rather than the Pentagon.
Kosyakov: This is unlikely. In that case the White House or Pentagon,
rather than the civilian population, would have been the first targets
to be hit. For, clearly, after a first successful attack, the
probability of success of the later ones decreases. As you know, the
last of the attacks failed. I mean the plane that crashed near
Pittsburgh. They probably shot it down; and, difficult as it is to
acknowledge, they were right to do so. Thus, the target is the civilian
population. There is such a formula: In democratic countries the
population is responsibility for the actions of their government. This
formula guides the terrorists.
Therefore, the next attacks will follow the same principle. It is
obvious that they will take place around Wednesday--Thursday of next
week. Why? I don't want to explain the logic of the terrorists that
would do them too much honor.
But I want to repeat: the fact that the terrorists are not claiming
responsibility, indicates that they will strike again and again. Until
the second stage is reached -- the stage of global conflict. This is the
goal of all these actions. At that point they will reveal their
authorship, in order to obtain a mobilization reserve.
Q: How could the U.S. secret services sleep through this?
Kosyakov: I'll give you two examples. Half a year ago, Israeli
intelligence carried out an exercise with the use of aerial objects for
carrying out terrorist acts. For certain, the Americans had some
information about these exercises. But it did not even occur to them to
apply this experience for their own purposes. The second example:
already in March of 1991 Korzhakov [at that time, Boris Yeltsin's chief
of staff] sat in our office, and we laid out to him the development of a
coup in September. Everything occurred according to our scenario, except
it happened in August instead. That is, when a supposition or a scenario
is put out beforehand, which appears improbable, no one takes it
seriously.
And that is why Vladimir Putin says that the intelligence services of
all nations should work together.
Q: What is the probability that American intelligence will be able to
find the leader of this operation? Or, will they just give the public
some cover story?
Kosyakov: The probability is high. There are people, there are the
apartments where they were located, and so there is a trail, of course.
Through the perpetrators, the organizer may be found.
Q: And who is it? Bin Laden?
Kosyakov: Hardly. Sure, some conversation of his was intercepted, where
someone reported about hitting two targets. That would indirectly
support his involvement. But he is not the ideologue. he is too visible.
Those who could organize all this are too clever, to be so visible.
