The Dud Bombers of 21/7, the patsies, have all been rounded up along with 18
others currently under questioning, yet the so called "mastermind" is
allowed to go free and is protected time and time again by MI5, MI6, FBI and
CIA. The same thing happened in 93 with the WTC bombing, 95 with the OKC
bombing, 01 with 911 and its happening again, its the same type of operation
EVERYTIME.
The July 29 edition of FOX News Channel's Day Side programme revealed that
the so called mastermind of the 7/7 London Bombings, Haroon Rashid Aswat, is
a British Intelligence Asset. Former Justice Dept. prosecutor and Terror
expert John Loftus revealed that the so called Al-Muhajiroun group, based in
London had formed during the Kosovo crisis, during which Fundamentalist
Muslim Leaders (Or what is now referred to as Al Qaeda) were recruited by
MI6 to fight in Kosovo.
Loftus stated that "...back in the late 1990s, the leaders all worked for
British intelligence in Kosovo. Believe it or not, British intelligence
actually hired some Al-Qaeda guys to help defend the Muslim rights in
Albania and in Kosovo. That's when Al-Muhajiroun got started."
Former Justice Dept. prosecutor John Loftus on Fox's Day Side
We have previously revealed how former MI5 officer David Shayler has
alleged, and French intel sources have corroborated, that the MI6 paid a
Libyan al-Qa'ida cell £100,000 in 1995 to assassinate colonel Qaddafi. The
use of the group that has come to be known as "Al Qaeda" as assets by
Intelligence services the world over is well documented.
The London Independent also reported 2 days before the London Bombings how
MI5 has previously used so called Al Qaeda operatives as informants,
allowing them to be left alone as a trade off. This only came to light when
Bisher al-Rawi was captured by the CIA and taken to the detention centre at
Guantanamo Bay. The original Independent link has now mysteriously been
removed.
John Loftus went on to spell out that British Intelligence and the US dept
of Justice had protected Haroon Rashid Aswat: "Back in 1999 he came to
America. The Justice Department wanted to indict him in Seattle because him
and his buddy were trying to set up a terrorist training school in Oregon...
we've just learned that the headquarters of the US Justice Department
ordered the Seattle prosecutors not to touch Aswat... , apparently Aswat was
working for British intelligence"
Haroon Aswat, the so called mastermind of the London bombings with Radical
cleric Abu Hamza al Masri in a London cab on Jan. 20, 1999.
This information is startling and again highlights how Al Qaeda exists as an
organized body only where the intelligence services have created, funded and
employed it. Loftus points out that several weeks before the London
Bombings, Aswat was again located by the South African Intel agency but
again allowed to slip away, this time to London:
"He was a British intelligence plant. So all of a sudden he disappears. He's
in South Africa. We think he's dead; we don't know he's down there. Last
month the South African Secret Service come across the guy. He's alive...the
Brits know that the CIA wants to get a hold of Haroon. So what happens? He
takes off again, goes right to London. He isn't arrested when he lands, he
isn't arrested when he leaves... He's on the watch list. The only reason he
could get away with that was if he was working for British intelligence. He
was a wanted man."
Loftus' information is backed up by the New York Times and CNN who reported
on this incident also.
We have seen this many times before and have continued to expose this kind
of activity. Mr Aswat is not the only "Al Qaeda operative" who has been
protected While in the US - the 19 9/11 hijackers and their associate
Zaccharias Moussaoui seem to have been as well. FBI Agent Robert Wright blew
the whistle on obstruction of counterterrorism investigations targeting
Hamas and al-Qaeda before 911. The sabotage by the highest levels in the FBI
of Coleen Rowley's desperate attempt to investigate Moussaoui, for instance,
is a striking parallel to the "hands-off" order regarding Aswat, and it's
far from being the only one. The CIA met with Bin Laden in July 2001 in a
Dubai hospital where he was being treated for Kidney problems. They gleaned
detailed information regarding possible massive terror attacks on the US,
yet Bin Laden was allowed to slip away (either that or he passed away). Bin
Laden is or was a known CIA Asset.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mysteriously arrested as the alleged mastermind
behind the September 11 plot, was granted a visa to enter the US just six
weeks before the terrorist attacks in Washington and New York. The American
Al Qaeda operative, Iyman Faris, who planned to bring down the Brooklyn
Bridge was also revealed to be an FBI operative. We also have several other
reports staing how the men used as hijackers on the planes on 911 were
monitored before the event and allowed to enter the US. They were even
trained at US flight schools.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
After 911 these so called terrorists have been allowed to go on with
business as usual, despite the "war on terror" and in many instances have
been protected. It seems that the authorities find it more useful to
restrict the liberties of law abiding citizens by introducing draconian
restrictive laws such as the Patriot act and Free speech zoning, whilst
allowing those they label as terrorists to go undetected.
Haroon Rashid Aswat allegedly left London for Pakistan on July 6, one day
before the London bombing. He was then arrested in Pakistan, but released
AGAIN within 24 hours. He reportedly traveled to Zimbabwe and then Zambia,
where he may have been arrested again (conflicting reports). Why does the so
called mastermind of 7/7 keep being released and allowed to slip away? It
the same type of operation over and over again.

FULL TRANSCRIPT: The July 29 edition of FOX News Channel's Day Side
programme:
MIKE JERRICK [FOX NEWS]: John Loftus is a terrorism expert and a former
prosecutor for the Justice Department. John, good to see you again. So real
quickly here, have you heard anything about this Osman Hussain who was just
picked up in Rome? You know that name at all?
JOHN LOFTUS: Yeah, all these guys should be going back to an organization
called Al-Muhajiroun, which means The Emigrants. It was the recruiting arm
of Al-Qaeda in London; they specialized in recruiting kids whose families
had emigrated to Britain but who had British passports. And they would use
them for terrorist work.
JERRICK: So a couple of them now have Somali connections?
LOFTUS: Yeah, it was not unusual. Somalia, Eritrea, the first group of
course were primarily Pakistani. But what they had in common was they were
all emigrant groups in Britain, recruited by this Al-Muhajiroun group. They
were headed by the, Captain Hook, the imam in London the Finsbury Mosque,
without the arm. He was the head of that organization. Now his assistant was
a guy named Aswat, Haroon Rashid Aswat.
JERRICK: Aswat, who they picked up.
LOFTUS: Right, Aswat is believed to be the mastermind of all the bombings in
London.
JERRICK: On 7/7 and 7/21, this is the guy we think.
LOFTUS: This is the guy, and what's really embarrassing is that the entire
British police are out chasing him, and one wing of the British government,
MI6 or the British Secret Service, has been hiding him. And this has been a
real source of contention between the CIA, the Justice Department, and
Britain.
JERRICK: MI6 has been hiding him. Are you saying that he has been working
for them?
LOFTUS: Oh I'm not saying it. This is what the Muslim sheik said in an
interview in a British newspaper back in 2001.
JERRICK: So he's a double agent, or was?
LOFTUS: He's a double agent.
JERRICK: So he's working for the Brits to try to give them information about
Al-Qaeda, but in reality he's still an Al-Qaeda operative.
LOFTUS: Yeah. The CIA and the Israelis all accused MI6 of letting all these
terrorists live in London not because they're getting Al-Qaeda information,
but for appeasement. It was one of those you leave us alone, we leave you
alone kind of things.
JERRICK: Well we left him alone too long then.
LOFTUS: Absolutely. Now we knew about this guy Aswat. Back in 1999 he came
to America. The Justice Department wanted to indict him in Seattle because
him and his buddy were trying to set up a terrorist training school in
Oregon.
JERRICK: So they indicted his buddy, right? But why didn't they indict him?
LOFTUS: Well it comes out, we've just learned that the headquarters of the
US Justice Department ordered the Seattle prosecutors not to touch Aswat.
JERRICK: Hello? Now hold on, why?
LOFTUS: Well, apparently Aswat was working for British intelligence. Now
Aswat's boss, the one-armed Captain Hook, he gets indicted two years later.
So the guy above him and below him get indicted, but not Aswat. Now there's
a split of opinion within US intelligence. Some people say that the British
intelligence fibbed to us. They told us that Aswat was dead, and that's why
the New York group dropped the case. That's not what most of the Justice
Department thinks. They think that it was just again covering up for this
very publicly affiliated guy with Al-Muhajiroun. He was a British
intelligence plant. So all of a sudden he disappears. He's in South Africa.
We think he's dead; we don't know he's down there. Last month the South
African Secret Service come across the guy. He's alive.
JERRICK: Yeah, now the CIA says, oh he's alive. Our CIA says OK let's arrest
him. But the Brits say no again?
LOTFUS: The Brits say no. Now at this point, two weeks ago, the Brits know
that the CIA wants to get a hold of Haroon. So what happens? He takes off
again, goes right to London. He isn't arrested when he lands, he isn't
arrested when he leaves.
JERRICK: Even though he's on a watch list.
LOFTUS: He's on the watch list.The only reason he could get away with that
was if he was working for British intelligence. He was a wanted man.
JERRICK: And then takes off the day before the bombings, I understand it--
LOFTUS: And goes to Pakistan.
JERRICK: And Pakistan, they jail him.
LOFTUS: The Pakistanis arrest him. They jail him. He's released within 24
hours. Back to Southern Africa, goes to Zimbabwe and is arrested in Zambia.
Now the US--
JERRICK: Trying to get across the--
LOFTUS: --we're trying to get our hands on this guy.
JERRICK: John, hang around. I have so many questions now.
LOFTUS: Oh, this is a bad one....
[commercial break]
JERRICK: On the phone with us, Mansoor Ijaz; Mansoor you know very well here
at Fox News Channel and Dayside. Mansoor, real quickly here, you spent so
much time in London, you're probably not that as impressed as I am about how
fast Scotland Yard has worked on this case. So impressive, so successful.
Why?
MANSOOR IJAZ: Well there are two things that a lot of domestic intelligence
agencies don't around the world. One is an extraordinarily detailed database
of information, and that database is buttressed by the fact that they have
these photos, the graphic images of the faces of the people that they were
looking for. So it saved them a lot of time when they got the forensic
evidence, like fingerprints or other things that indicated where they could
actually go find these people. Because remember, there was a lot of data
left on the stuff these guys left behind from the failed bombing attack, and
that's what helped to really unravel the cell. Now--
JERRICK: I guess--go ahead, Mansoor.
IJAZ: Now I think there's one very important thing that I think everybody
needs to know. And that is that the cellular structure that this new breed
of Al-Qaeda people have is such that there is not a clear indication that
they all knew each other as much as it is that they had some sort of central
control still sitting outside of the framework. Whether that's in a foreign
country or a place that is removed from Britain and other place in Europe,
that's what we're still looking for. But it's very clear now that these
cellular structures were operating independent of each other, but with
knowledge that something else was in fact planned in the pipeline.
JERRICK: Real quick, Mansoor. In that regard, maybe a ringleader could be
this Haroon Aswat. What do you know about him?
IJAZ: Well, he's a pretty bad guy, and I think your previous guest gave the
best assessment of who he is. He's the right hand man of the Al-Muhajiroun
leader in London, and has been organizing and planning for some time. And I
don't want to minimize the effect of the arrest in Rome, because what that
indicates is that the cellular structure is elsewhere and we all know that
Italy is a big target on their list.
JERRICK: OK, speaking of him, back to the comments by our John Loftus a
little while ago. A question from the audience for you, John. Go ahead.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hi Mr Loftus. I recently read a book by Morris Dees called
The Gathering Storm , and it talks about extremist militia groups in the
United States and how they might be manipulated by some people's rhetoric,
very similar to Aswat in London. What do you think the US is doing to
prevent terrorist attacks on our own soil that happen--
JERRICK: You're worried about it here?
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yes, sir.
LOFTUS: The US government's doing a great job. We arrested the New York
branch of Al-Muhajiroun two years ago. We found the subway bombers with the
plans to blow up two different subway stations in New York City. The rest of
the group is under surveillance. But the US was used by Al-Muhajiroun for
training of people to send to Kosovo. What ties all these cells together
was, back in the late 1990s, the leaders all worked for British intelligence
in Kosovo. Believe it or not, British intelligence actually hired some
Al-Qaeda guys to help defend the Muslim rights in Albania and in Kosovo.
That's when Al-Muhajiroun got started.
IJAZ: Which is by the way why we know so much about them right now.
LOFTUS: Yes, I'm afraid so. The CIA was funding the operation to defend the
Muslims, British intelligence was doing the hiring and recruiting. Now we
have a lot of detail on this because Captain Hook, the head of
Al-Muhajiroun, he sidekick was Bakri Mohammed, another cleric. And back on
October 16, 2001, he gave a detailed interview with al-Sharq al-Aswat, an
Arabic newspaper in London, describing the relationship between British
intelligence and the operations in Kosovo and Al-Muhajiroun. So that's how
we get all these guys connected. It started in Kosovo, Haroon was 31 years
old, he came on about 1995.
JERRICK: OK. Here's another question for you.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hello, John. With the quid-pro-quo relationship that London
obviously had with these terrorists early on, what changed that caused them
to all of a sudden get away from the you leave us alone, we'll leave you
alone situation?
LOFTUS: The Israelis say that the truce went on for years. Guys from
Al-Muhajiroun for example would bring suicide bombers to Israel to blow up
Mike's Place. There was a definite link there. And yet the trainer, Sadiki
Al Kahn, was able to go back to Britain and not be touched. What the
Israelis believe happened is that Usama Bin Laden got desperate, and he said
burn all our bridges--let's turn on the British. Break the truce, start the
bombs.
JERRICK: Speaking of Usama Bin Laden, Mansoor, real quickly, maybe Scotland
Yard and those folks over there, the Brits, should be looking for Usama Bin
Laden. They seem to be so successful.
LOFTUS: The British police do a remarkable job.
IJAZ: Well, that's an interesting comment. The fact of the matter is, when
you're dealing with it in your own backyard, and you have the computer
infrastructure set up in such a way that you can immediately track these
kinds of things that are in your backyard, it's a very different game from
tracking them on places where we don't even have mountain maps any more of
how the whole thing looks. So that's really what the fundamental problem is.
If you'll permit me, I just want to, Mike, make one other very quick point.
JERRICK: Mansoor, can you hang over, do you have time hang over for a
30-second break here? John Loftus, got to cut you loose but thanks for the
info. Boy, interesting stuff John...
[commercial break]
JERRICK: We have some more information from our Mansoor Ijaz, Fox News
Foreign Affairs Analyst. Mansoor, still on the phone with me?
IJAZ: Yeah, I'm here with you Mike.
JERRICK: Talk about your information from British intel.
IJAZ: Well, let's not characterize the sources quite that way, but I've
talked to some people who are analyzing what came out of the raids today,
and there's a great deal of concern about the fact that there may be in fact
a desire of these cells to move beyond transit systems as the target. And
what specifically they found was evidence that indicates they're looking at
now places where there are large collections of people, where they can
actually take shopping bags and other large carrying bags of sorts without
raising a lot of suspicion. Obviously shopping malls come immediately to
mind, but it's important for everybody to know that London was planning on
having a large I think it's a City Fair or something like that, I don't know
what exactly it's called. They've now decided to go ahead with that, but
it's obviously going to be much more scrutinized than it would have been
before. Now London doesn't in general have a lot of large shopping malls,
but they do have large concentrations of people in places at certain times
during the week, and that's what apparently now has become the target, one
of the new targets of these terrorist cells.
JERRICK: So Mansoor, when you hear that we have four for four, or four for
five of these 7/21 bombers, nobody should fool themselves. This thing isn't
over.
IJAZ: That is precisely the point I wanted to make sure everybody
understood--that the authorities, the people that are worried about this and
that are analyzing the data out of what they're getting in these raids, are
basically saying we may have just hit the tip of the iceberg. This is not
over by a long shot.
JERRICK: Mansoor, thank you for making that perfectly clear. Talk to you
soon.
