Who's to Blame for the Terror in London?
31 August 2006
The controlled press blames British-born Moslems for the terror bombings in
London, but were the Pakistani lads from Leeds the architects of terror – or
merely unwitting patsies?
Senior British, U.S. and Israeli political figures, the key players in the
artificial "war on terror" – and the controlled press – blame "Islamic
terrorists" for the July 7 terror bombings that killed 56 people in London.
Blaming British-born Moslems of Pakistani ancestry has inflamed public opinion
against Moslems in Britain. The allegations against the four suspects remain
unproven, while evidence suggests the bombing was a synthetic "false flag"
terror operation carried out by a state-sponsored intelligence agency.
Before the smoke had even cleared, USA Today, a paper with ties to the CIA,
blamed "Islamic terrorists" for the bombings. The first sentence of the paper's
July 8 front-page story pointed the finger at Islamic militants before any
suspects had even been identified. The four explosions, it reported, "appeared
to be the work of Islamic terrorists affiliated with those responsible for the
Sept. 11 attack, officials said."
Jack Straw, the British Foreign Secretary, and Prime Minister Tony Blair were
among the first to blame Islamic terrorists. "It has the hallmarks of an
al-Qaeda related attack," Straw said. Since the bombing, the British
Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) and other mass media outlets have accepted as fact the
unproven allegations. Working from that assumption they debate how British-born
Moslems could commit such senseless atrocities against fellow Britons. The
question of who is actually responsible for the crime, however, is seldom
raised.
The young suspects from the city of Leeds do not fit the terrorist profile for
such a random and senseless terror bombing. Well assimilated Moslems and fathers
of young children, one with a wife expecting a child, these young men seem to
have been used as unwitting "mules" in a sinister "false flag" operation.
Reports in the British press suggest the young men were duped into a scheme in
which they thought they were carrying innocent packages of perfume, while a
hidden hand inserted lethal bombs in their backpacks.
"The London bombers may have been duped into killing themselves," Jeff Edwards
of the Daily Mirror wrote. "The evidence is compelling: The terrorists bought
return rail tickets, and pay and display car park tickets, before boarding a
train at Luton for London. None of the men was heard to cry 'Allah Akhbar!' –
'God is great' – usually screamed by suicide bombers as they detonate their
bomb."
"Their devices were in large rucksacks which could be easily dumped instead of
being strapped to their bodies. They carried wallets containing their driving
licenses, bankcards and other personal items. Suicide bombers normally strip
themselves of identifying material," Edwards noted.
PERFUME BOMBERS
One of the suicide bombers, Jermaine Lindsay, 19, spent nearly $2,000 on
expensive perfumes from different stores in the days prior to the bombing.
According to some terror "experts," the terrorists thought the alcohol-based
perfumes would act like napalm and the metal containers like shrapnel.
"British news reports about the suicide bombers sound like comedy scripts," 9-11
writer Eric Hufschmid said. "We are now expected to consider that these
terrorists placed expensive containers of perfume around the bombs. However, the
ridiculous aspects of these suicide bombers could indicate they were 'useful
idiots.'"
"Perhaps these four young men were fooled into thinking that they were
purchasing perfumes for quality control, or that they were checking the
performance of sales clerks," Hufschmid said. "After receiving payment for
purchasing the perfumes, they would have been more trusting of their
'employers', so they would be happy to deliver 'Do Not Open' packages on the
morning of July 7. They would never suspect that somebody with a cell phone
would detonate bombs in their backpacks while they were on the trains."
There are a number of clues that suggest the bombing was a sophisticated "false
flag" operation carried out by the architects of the "war on terror." Such
synthetic terror attacks are meant to shape public opinion to support the
ongoing wars of aggression and occupation of Moslem and Arab states. In order to
advance their "Clash of Civilizations" the architects of such terror seek to
inflame public opinion against Moslems. The London bombings have achieved that,
but why would British-born Moslems want to further an agenda that hurts their
community most? Why did no one claim responsibility for the bombing? And why
would Islamic terrorists kill innocent working people rather that hit a specific
target?
The Israeli finance minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was staying at a hotel above
the bombing that occurred on the Piccadilly line near Russell Square.
Netanyahu, an extreme right-wing Israeli politician with the Likud party, is a
chief architect of the "War on Terror." Since the 1980s, Netanyahu has written
books urging the western democracies to wage war against the Arab and Moslem
nations. The U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq is exactly the kind of
military action Netanyahu has called for since 1985.
Ariel Sharon, Israel's prime minister, phoned Blair after the bombing and called
it a "vicious crime." There can be "no compromise with terror, which has become
the major threat the free world is facing," Sharon said, equating Israel with
"the free world."
WHO KNEW?
According to Israeli and Associated Press (AP) reports, Scotland Yard and the
Israeli Embassy in London were forewarned of the bombings. "British police told
the Israeli Embassy in London minutes before Thursday's explosions that they had
received warnings of possible terror attacks in the city, a senior Israeli
official said," Amy Triebel, an AP writer in Jerusalem reported at noon on July
7. But who warned Scotland Yard?
"The Israeli Embassy in London was notified in advance, resulting in Finance
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu remaining in his hotel room," the Israeli press
reported. The source of the warning to British police was not revealed.
Netanyahu was in London to speak at a conference to promote investment in
Israel. Israeli Army Radio reported on July 8 that Scotland Yard had received
intelligence warnings of the attacks shortly before they occurred. If, as
claimed, the London bombing was carried out by a domestic Islamic terror cell,
who informed Scotland Yard?
"The multiple, simultaneous explosions that took place today on the London
transportation system were the work of perpetrators who had an operational
capacity of considerable scope," Efraim Halevi wrote in The Jerusalem Post on
July 7. How did Halevi know that the explosions were simultaneous? The
underground bombings were not thought to have been simultaneous until British
authorities reported their findings on July 9. Until then it was thought that
the three subway bombs had gone off at 7:51, 7:56, and 8:17 a.m.
Like 9-11 and other "false flag" acts of terror, the London bombings occurred
during a large-scale terrorist exercise that took place at the same time and
locations as the actual explosions. Peter Power, former high-ranking employee of
Scotland Yard and member of its Anti-Terrorist Branch, told BBC 5 and ITV News
that his company, Visor Consulting, had carried out "crisis exercises," with an
unnamed private company. The exercise envisioned "almost precisely" the
bombings that actually occurred, he said. Power described the simulation of
"simultaneous attacks on a underground and mainline station" and "bombs going
off precisely at the railway stations" at which the actual bombings occurred.
"There were a few seconds when the audience didn't realize whether it was real
or not," he said. On ITV, Power suggested that the unnamed partner in the terror
exercise was concerned about Jewish buildings and banks being targeted. I
contacted Visor Consultants, the mayor of the City of London, Scotland Yard, and
the transportation authority to ask about the identity of the unnamed partner in
the terror exercise.
A likely candidate is an Israeli company called International Consultants on
Targeted Security (ICTS) International N.V., an aviation and transportation
security firm headed by "former [Israeli] military commanding officers and
veterans of government intelligence and security agencies." Menachem Atzmon,
convicted in Israel in 1996 for campaign finance fraud, and his business partner
Ezra Harel, took over management of security at Boston's Logan Airport in 1999
through Huntleigh USA, a subsidiary of ICTS. Until his 1996 conviction, Atzmon
was president of the Israel Development Fund (IDF), a U.S. tax-exempt foundation
funneling money illegally to the Likud party of Sharon and Netanyahu, according
to author Anton Chaitkin. Harel shares the name of Isser Harel, the co-founder
of Israel's Mossad and first director of the Shin Bet, the internal security
agency.
Atzmon and Harel were majority owners of ICTS. The convicted Likud criminal's [Atzmon]
firm was in charge of security at Logan Airport, Chaitkin wrote – inspecting the
validity of passports and visas, searching cargo, screening passengers – when
two airliners were hijacked from there on Sept. 11, 2001, and demolished the
World Trade Center towers in New York. ICTS also provided security at Newark
airport.
At a trade exhibition in June, ICTS presented its "comprehensive security
solution for the railroad and public transportation industry, which can be
developed, tailored and implemented in a modular manner."
"Was ICTS International, or one of its affiliates, involved in the July 7 terror
exercise in London?" I asked ICTS spokesperson Petra Snoek at company
headquarters in Amstelveen, Holland. "Herewith I would like to inform you that
ICTS International is not operating in the U.K.," Snoek wrote.
But ICTS International does have a subsidiary in Britain called ICTS U.K. Ltd.,
which is located in London's Tavistock House South, precisely where the
double-decker bus was bombed on July 7. A receptionist at ICTS U.K. Ltd. said
the office was temporarily closed after the bombing due to damage, but that the
company was indeed part of ICTS International.
