DIARY OF A MADMAN

 

For those interested, take time to read the following information concerning

 

Usama Bin Laden. Assuming he is the one responsible (whether direct or

indirect), the perceived threat below is information enough to justify

stopping

this lunatic immediately. His (presumed) attack on New York has clearly

demonstrated their ability to strike westerners at home. Just over a year

ago I

read an article from a security think-tank who said one of the next major

terrorist threats could originate from a "suitcase nuke" brought into the

harbour of a major U.S. city from overseas. Originally I believed we were

years

away from such a threat but after today's attack one has to wonder if this

isn't a very "real" possibility. I always try to avoid making political

statements here but under the circumstances I believe the United States

government has no choice but to eliminate this organization (Al-Qa'ida) as

soon

as possible.

 

 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS REGARDING BIN LADEN'S INTEREST IN NUCLEAR WEAPONS

 

September 25, 1998

 

Bin Laden's aide Mamdouh Mahmud Salim was arrested in Munich, Germany, and

charged with acting on behalf of Bin Laden to obtain nuclear materials. In

particular, Salim reportedly attempted to obtain highly enriched uranium in

the

mid-1990s.(6)

 

August 16, 1998

 

Israeli military intelligence sources reported that Bin Laden paid over 2

million pounds sterling to a middle-man in Kazakhstan, who promised to

deliver

a "suitcase" bomb to Bin Laden within two years. In an attempt to prevent

Bin

Laden from obtaining such weapons from Kazakhstan, Israel sent a cabinet

minister to the republic to persuade the Kazakh government to prevent such

exchanges from occurring.(7)

 

October 6, 1998

 

The Saudi-owned, London-based Arabic newspaper, Al-Hayat, declared that Bin

Laden had obtained nuclear weapons.(8)

 

November 13, 1998

 

Expanding on information in the October 6, 1998 article in Al-Hayat, the

Arabic

news magazine Al-Watan Al-Arabi reported that Usama Bin Laden was engaged in

a

comprehensive plan to acquire nuclear weapons. From information reportedly

provided by sources that included the Russian intelligence agency, the

Federal

Security Service (FSB), the report stated that Bin Laden had forged links

with

organized crime members in the former Soviet republics in Central Asia and

the

Caucasus.(9)

 

The Al-Watan Al-Arabi article cited one particular meeting in which an

agreement was negotiated by some of Bin Laden's followers and Chechen

organized

crime figures in Grozny, Chechnya. It was referred to as "the nuclear

warheads

deal." Bin Laden reportedly gave the contacts in Chechnya $30 million in

cash

and two tons of opium in exchange for approximately 20 nuclear warheads.

Sources stated that Bin Laden planned to have the warheads dismantled by his

 

own team of scientists, who would then transform the weapons into "instant

nukes" or "suitcase nukes."(10)

 

Al-Watan Al-Arabi also reported that Bin Laden had tried a different route

to

acquisition before turning to Chechnya for nuclear weapons. According to the

 

article, Bin Laden's original strategy was to develop his own "in-house"

nuclear manufacturing complex, in which small, tactical nuclear weapons

would

be manufactured from scratch. Beginning in 1993, Bin Laden instructed some

of

his aides to obtain weapons-grade uranium that could be used to develop

small

nuclear weapons.(11)

 

December 24, 1998

 

In an interview with Time Magazine, Bin Laden asserted that acquiring

weapons

of any type was a Muslim "religious duty." When asked whether he was seeking

to

obtain chemical or nuclear weapons, Bin Laden replied, "Acquiring weapons

for

the defense of Muslims is a religious duty. If I have indeed acquired these

weapons, then I thank God for enabling me to do so."(12) He responded

similarly

to the same question in an ABC News interview two days later, stating, "If I

 

seek to acquire such weapons, this is a religious duty. How we use them is

up

to us."(13)

 

The Al-Watan al-Arabi source stated that Bin Laden's team of scientists was

composed of "five nuclear scientists from Turkmenistan," and that the leader

of

the team "used to work on the atomic reactor of Iraq before it was destroyed

by

Israel in the 1980's." The same source also stated that the scientists were

working to develop a nuclear reactor that could be used "to transform the

fissionable material into a more active source, one which can produce a

fission

reaction from a very small amount of material and be placed in a package

smaller than a backpack."(14) In addition, the source stated that Bin Laden

had

hired "hundreds of atomic scientists" from the former Soviet Union.

Reportedly,

Bin Laden paid the scientists $2,000 per month, an amount much greater than

their wages in the former Soviet republics.(15)

 

General 1997-1998

 

As a result of the revelations about Bin Laden's alleged nuclear activities,

 

intelligence agencies worldwide directed their attention to the apparent

connection between opium production in Afghanistan and Al-Qa'ida's interest

in

nuclear weapons. Opium farmers in Afghanistan produced approximately 3,269

tons

of opium in 1997-98. In late 1998, Bin Laden reportedly sent interested

parties

to Afghanistan to buy large amounts of opium, probably to raise funds for

Al-

Qa'ida.(16)

 

 

THE 1993 - 1994 ATTEMPTED URANIUM PURCHASE IN SUDAN

 

During the third day of the trial, February 7, 2001, Al-Fadl testified that

he

was directly involved in an attempt to purchase uranium for Usama Bin Laden

at

the end of 1993 or the beginning of 1994. According to his testimony,

Al-Fadl

was telephoned by a senior Al-Qa'ida official, Abu Fadhl [most probably Fadl

or

Fazl] al-Makkee, and was instructed to meet with a contact in Khartoum,

Sudan,

who allegedly possessed uranium. The witness met first with Abu Abd Allah

al-

Yemeni (aka Abu Dijana) and was given the name of another contact, Moqadem

Salah Abd al-Mobruk, a lieutenant colonel in the Sudanese Army who,

according

to the testimony, had been a former minister during the Numeiri presidency

(1969-83).(5)

 

Al-Fadl was charged with evaluating the situation, and after conferring with

 

other associates, including his cousin, he met with al-Mobruk. Al-Mobruk

referred Al-Fadl to a man named Basheer, and the two met at an office on

Jambouria Street in Khartoum, Sudan. When questioned by Basheer as to

whether

Al-Qa'ida was serious about acquiring uranium, Al-Fadl claimed, "I know

people,

they [are] very serious, and they want to buy it." He noted that Al-Qa'ida

was

concerned primarily with the quality of the material and the country of

origin,

and secondarily with the cost. The arranged price was $1.5 million, plus

additional commissions for Basheer and al-Mobruk. At this point, the main

issue

concerned the method of testing the uranium.

 

After reporting back to al-Makkee, Al-Fadl was sent to speak with a new

contact, Abu Rida al-Suri. This meeting took place at the Ikhlak Company in

the

Baraka building in Khartoum. Al-Suri instructed Al-Fadl to return to Basheer

 

and report that the organization had an "electric machine" capable of

testing

uranium. Again through an intermediary, Al-Fadl arranged a meeting with

Basheer

and, in a small house in the town of Bait al-Mal, north of Khartoum, Al-Fadl

 

and al-Suri were shown a cylinder approximately 2-3 feet tall with a lot of

words engraved on it. The men were given a note that Al-Fadl was told to

deliver to another contact, Abu Hajer, and then await further instructions.

Al-

Fadl did not recollect exactly what was written on the paper, only that it

was

written in English, said "South Africa" on it, and contained a serial

number.

 

Hajer sent Al-Fadl back to al-Suri, and the two men held another meeting

with

Basheer during which they informed him that they were willing to purchase

the

cylinder. When questioned by Basheer regarding the method of testing the

uranium, Al-Fadl remembered that al-Suri had claimed to have a machine from

Kenya suitable for such purposes.

 

Al-Fadl was then instructed to arrange a meeting between al-Suri and

al-Mobruk,

after which he was informed that his services were no longer needed. Al-Fadl

 

received $10,000 for his time and effort and did not take a further role in

the

uranium acquisition. However, he did claim that Al-Amin Abd al-Marouf, a

member

of the Islamic National Front in Sudan, informed him a few days later that

the

cylinder of uranium was to be tested in the town of Hilat Koko, Cyprus.

Al-Fadl

testified that he did not know whether the uranium had in fact been tested

and

was not privy to any additional information about the transaction.

long ass post but informing thank you.

this shit gets dicey-er by the hour....

There is some SERIOUS shit going down....

 

Planes flying into buildings is one thing, but Nuclear bombs? Fuck, I'm glad I'm not in the states right now. You should all get the fuck out of there

man dont worry the states got shit under control.

this is scary shit
