Osama's biographer says nukes in U.S.

[TRUTH]

Al-Qaida has smuggled tactical nuclear weapons and uranium into the U.S. across the Mexican border and is planning to launch a major terrorist attack using a combination of nukes and dirty nukes, according to an interview with Osama bin Laden's biographer, Hamid Mir, in WorldThreats.com.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50341

Hamid Mir truly has deep access inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. He is best known as the last journalist to interview Osama Bin Laden, and the only one to do so after the attacks of September 11, 2001. He is currently the Bureau Chief of Islamabad for Geo TV and is writing a biography on Osama Bin Laden. He has interviewed countless members of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in many countries over the years.

Mir has had remarkable reliability. For example, most recently he said that Osama Bin Laden was going to issue a new tape, but the mainstream media did not report it. A few days later, a tape was released. He was the only one to predict the event.

RM: What governments have sponsored Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden over the years?

HM: I think it was the Taliban government which sponsored Al-Qaeda from 1996 to 2001. In between, the U.S. government engaged the Taliban in talks, some of which were arranged by Pakistan. Islamabad and Washington started covert operations against Al-Qaeda in 1999 (under Clinton and Nawaz Sharif) but they failed. After 9/11, it is the present Iranian regime which is secretly helping Al-Qaeda because the U.S. is supporting Israel openly.

RM: What governments have been friendly to Al-Qaeda in the past? Were/are there links between Al-Qaeda and Iraq, Syria, North Korea, etc?

HM: I don’t think that Iraq had any direct link with Al-Qaeda. Saddam tried to contact Osama Bin Laden in 1998 but he was not entertained. Syria is a safe haven for Al-Qaeda now but the Syrian government is not trusted by the Al-Qaeda commanders in Iraq. I will not comment on North Korea. This is a point on which I am still not clear and am still trying to investigate.

RM: Can you give us some detail about the Russians advisors you said were helping the Taliban? Why would the Russians help them? What are they helping them with? And how long has Russia provided assistance to radical Islamic movements like Al-Qaeda?

HM: What I said was that Russia is covertly supporting Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan. The spokesman of the Afghan Interior Ministry, Lutaffulah Mashal, told me in September 2005 in Kabul that the Taliban are getting modern Russian-made weapons. He suspected that Russia may be taking revenge on the U.S. for supporting the Afghan Mujahideen against Russia in the 1980s.

I met a Taliban commander in Ghazni last year who showed me a small mobile phone bomb. He said that they will use that bomb against the British troops very soon in southern Afghanistan. How can they make mobile phone bombs on their own? The Taliban are receiving weapons from Al-Qaeda also, which are being smuggled in from Iran.

RM: It has been reported that you believe Al-Qaeda has nuclear weapons. How did you come up with this conclusion?

HM: I came up with this conclusion after eight years of investigation and research in the remote mountain areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. I traveled to Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Uzbekistan, and Russia and met dozens of people. I interviewed not only Al-Qaeda operatives but met scientists and top U.S. officials also. I will have the details in my coming book.

At least two Al-Qaeda operatives claimed that the organization smuggled suitcase nukes inside America. But I have no details on who did it. But I do have details about who smuggled uranium inside America and how.

I am very careful when speaking about Al-Qaeda’s nuclear capabilities. I’ve met many people in Al-Qaeda who have claimed that uranium and nuclear bombs were smuggled to America, and I’ll quote them in my book. However, when I speak for myself, I don’t rely on claims by Al-Qaeda. I rely upon my own investigations.

RM: What’s the name of your book? Will new details and proof of Al-Qaeda’s acquisition of nukes be presented?

HM: My publisher has not authorized me to disclose the name of the book, but it will be a biography of Osama Bin Laden in which I will disclose his future plans and details of his nuclear designs. The world will come to know that which is the real Al-Qaeda.

RM: How many nuclear weapons does Al-Qaeda possess?

HM: As far as I know, they smuggled three suitcase nukes from Russia to Europe. They smuggled many kilos of enriched uranium inside America for their dirty bomb projects. They said in 1999 that they must have material for more than six dirty bombs in America. They tested at least one dirty bomb in the Kunar province of Afghanistan in 2000.

They have planned an attack bigger than 9/11, even before 9/11 happened. Osama Bin Laden trained 42 fighters to destroy the American economy and military might. 19 were used on 9/11, 23 are still "sleeping" inside America waiting for a wake-up call from Bin Laden.

RM: If Al-Qaeda has tactical suitcase nukes, not just "dirty bombs," why would they deploy them to Europe instead of the United States?

HM: Actually, I lost track of the three suitcase nukes after they were smuggled into Italy. I tried my best to get more information about those bombs but I am only one man. I only received one tip that Chechen members of Al-Qaeda wanted to smuggle one bomb into London, one into Paris, and one into California, but some dispute developed with the Italian underworld over the method of payment. This was in the year 2000.

RM: Were actual tactical nukes deployed to the US? And is the leader of the nuclear plot Adnan el-Shukrijumah as believed by some experts?

HM: Al-Qaeda leaders claimed to have deployed their tactical weapons inside America. But when I tried to track the transportation of those weapons from Georgia, I lost track in Italy. I don’t know the location of these today because my source left Afghanistan for Iraq last year. On the other hand, they claimed to me that weapons were smuggled to America through Mexico.

According to my notes, the man responsible for organizing the nuclear attacks inside America is not Adnan but is Muhammed Sher Khan, but this may be an alias for Adnan.

RM: When is your book coming out?

HM: I am just putting on some finishing touches to the manuscript. I am planning to publish the book this year. I am going to reveal the secret world of Osama Bin Laden through my own eyes. I don’t think it would be difficult for you to understand that writing some facts about Osama Bin Laden is not an easy job in Muslim countries today.

Yes, our governments are against him but he is popular among the masses. Common Muslims do not believe he is responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and I am going to write about how 9/11 was planned and implemented by Osama Bin Laden. What happened to Osama Bin Laden after 9/11? How did he escape from Tora Bora? Where has he spent his last four years? Where and how did he organize the new insurgency in Afghanistan and Iraq?

I think I will face a lot of criticism for my Iran/Al-Qaeda chapter from the Muslim media. I am going to reveal facts that nobody can deny. I am very careful. I wrote each and every word only after many cross-checks. I even cross-checked the claims made by Osama Bin Laden. I will definitely raise some issues like why he is still at large, and I’ll have to talk about the weaknesses of the Pakistani and American secret services. I will not enjoy the publication of my book because I do not live in an ideal democracy. I am not bothered by who might benefit from my research. I have only one objective in mind; to keep the historical record straight.

RM: How can you be positive that the information regarding Al-Qaeda’s nuclear capabilities isn’t disinformation meant to frighten their enemies?

HM: That was the argument many U.S. experts presented in 1998 when Osama Bin Laden declared war on the U.S. Don’t underestimate your enemy. You may dislike them but they don’t lie. They may give a deadline to Muslims sometime to leave America and then they will attack. That is what was discussed in one of the Al-Qaeda meetings in Kunar in 2003.

RM: In a recent interview, you described a nuclear test in Kunar province in the year 2000 where an Egyptian scientist lost an eye. Was it a radiological "dirty bomb" or a more serious tactical nuclear weapon?

HM: It was a radiological dirty bomb.

RM: You have said that you think Al-Qaeda may use the nukes once Iran is bombed by the U.S. Is that your opinion or is this what you’ve been told?

HM: This is my opinion. No Al-Qaeda leader has ever admitted that they are working with Iran. I also think that, maybe, the Iranians will organize some attacks inside America and you will accuse Al-Qaeda.

RM: Do you know when Al-Qaeda’s nuclear weapons were forward deployed?

HM: I think they transferred their materials inside America between 1999 and 2001, before September the 11th.

RM: Why hasn’t Al-Qaeda used nuclear weapons if they possess them?

HM: They are waiting for the proper time. They want the U.S. to be involved in a mass killing of Muslims, so that they will have some justification. That is what I was told by a top Al-Qaeda leader in the Kunar Mountains of Afghanistan.

RM: Where did Al-Qaeda get the training to handle and detonate nuclear weapons? Some experts believe that Soviet-era nukes have sufficient security measures to stop their unauthorized use.

HM: They trained dozens of boys who can make dirty bombs by purchasing material from some medical stores and then they will detonate these materials with some uranium and X-Ray machines. They are not just dependant on Soviet nukes.

RM: How would Al-Qaeda be able to defeat American capabilities to detect the nuclear weapons? Are they disguised?

HM: I think that these materials are disguised. The U.S. needs some political strategy to address this issue. It is not only the U.S., but many European countries that are the targets of Al-Qaeda’s nuclear attacks. The world is not safe. An attack in California or London will not affect only the West, but it will affect the whole Muslim world.

There needs to be a well-coordinated effort to make the world safe. I am very much concerned because I have a lot of friends in America. I like common Americans. They are a good and frank people. Why should they pay the price of their government’s bad policies? We have to move to stop both Al-Qaeda and Bush.

RM: The Muslim world was in an uproar after the US invaded Iraq. Why wasn’t that viewed as appropriate justification?

HM: Saddam Hussein was not popular in the Muslim world. Osama hated him. Iran hated him. He was once considered an American agent. The majority of Muslims were initially happy that Saddam was dislodged, but then anger spread against the U.S. after the Abu Ghraib jail scandal. Now Muslims think that America invaded Iraq for oil, not for WMDs. Where are the WMDs? America must answer this question NOW.

RM: Does Al-Qaeda possess advanced chemical and biological weapons?

HM: They can make anthrax but they don’t have advanced biological weapons. Their plus point is their suicide bombers. They have planned nuclear and biological attacks using suicide bombers.

[orestes]

As soon as he is asked what regimes have sponsored alQaeda and replies the Taliban and now Iran we know he is an agent and that is why he has 'remarkable access'. * this guy.

[Annie]

I tend to agree with Orestes (great choice of name BTW) but one thing rather leapt out at me. Nukes are supposed to have entered the US across the Mexican border. And the US has just closed that border?

Whether the basis for this is true or not, it looks like they're building up to something...

[andrewwatson]

There is a very bad smell about this whole new Bin Laden tape. I myself feel for the first time since I became a truther a sene of despair at the depth of the deception that surrounds us all.

I have been thinking of an idea for a mass worldwide protest on September 11th. This year is make or break time for the movement.

This is my idea. A minute's shout. Like the two-minute silence in reverse.

The plan - called SHOUT FOR TRUTH - is to post all over the internet the time and day of this event. At 09:11 on "9/11/06" every truther in the world stops what they are doing and shouts "Nine-eleven was an inside job!'' for a minute . It could have quite a dramatic effect on those watching.

[James C]

[Hazzard]

The entire thing is psy-op bs. We all know damn well that Al-CIAda has had mini-nukes in the US through mexico for years now. In actual fact those of us who are informed was expecting a nuke attack to hit Houstan Texas this April, but it didnt go through, probably becuase of all the uproar we caused over it.

Either way folks dont be fooled, who ever is commiting the attacks, its P20G, Aztlan, Al-CIAda or just plane old CIA.

[scubadiver]

Don't believe it.

Al-Qaeda is a fabricated organisation to justify US and British attempts to erode civil rights.

It was admitted that, in America, homeland officials were carrying out nuclear attack drills in and around Texas and there was a possible nuclear exercise drill to go live in Chicago at the beginning of May.

Since Bush is losing popularity, A Republican admitted that only a terrorist attack can save his popularity (sorry, can't remember source).

6/6/6 is the most likely date.

I have started regularly reading the messages at the Ghost Troop Yahoo newsgroup for information.

http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/ghosttroop/?yguid=167912775

[orestes]

"They can make anthrax "

And ship it into the US? Into government labs? And then ship it out again to attack? Transparent or what. I wonder if he knows whoever wrote the nazi badges in Iran story? Maybe they work together?

[Hazzard]

Oh and BTW federal buildings ALL have bomb dedectors in them at the entrances that basicaly lock the building down until the situation is declared safe. So if a bomb ever got in, its going to be an INSIDE job.

Or maybe a "TRUCK BOMB"



bs!

[Justin]

I have to say I shall be glad when we get June 6 2006 out of the way. I'm getting a really bad feeling that something very nasty will happen in the States that will ensure martial law and the use of all those FEMA internment/concentration camps they have been secretly building; a complete clamp down of civil liberties in all Western countries; and an attempted closedown of research and campaigning of 9/11 and other False Flag Operations by direct policing and monitoring of the internet. I just hope I'm suffering from a 'black dog' tonight but the picture does look grim and they do need to win over the unthinking masses for them to attack Iran.

[Andrew Johnson]

I too think we are on a knifeedge. A lot of us got the jitters around March 27th and we have them again now.

I remember last September some US official on the radio saying something along the lines of "terrorist nukes are already in the USA"! I don't think even used "likely". I thought to myself - "well, you're never gonna get on Blankety Blank saying stuff like that are you?"

FALSE (BLANK)

FAKE WAR ON (BLANK)

INSIDE (BLANK)

[andrewwatson]

Minor domestic victory! My partner, who has been defiantly agnostic on YouKnowWhat, said today he would join in my 9/11 shout. I'll believe that when it happens but it's one more voice.

Seriously though, I cannot believe that after all the stuff going out on the net about 6/6/6 they would do anything so downright stupid and unsubtle as another false flag on THAT date. I know Hollywood is powerful but not that powerful. Am I crediting them with too much intelligence?

[Andrew Johnson]

Look where else Hamid Mir turns up (like another old Game Show with Cilla Black - "Surprise, Surprise")

Interview with Hamid Mir of GEO TV

Secretary Condoleezza Rice
Islamabad, Pakistan
March 17, 2005
(5:45 p.m. EST)


MR. MIR: There is a perception here in some political circles that you are here to seek assistance from President Musharraf against Iran. So tell us what was the real objective of your visit?


SECRETARY RICE: Well, the objective of my visit was to -- as in my first months as Secretary of State and in the first months of President Bush's second term, to come here to our valuable ally and friend of Pakistan to talk about what we're doing jointly together in the war on terrorism, but also to make the point to the Government of Pakistan and to the Pakistani people that we consider this relationship to be broader and deeper than just what we are doing in the war on terrorism, as important as that is.


So we've had discussions of economic reforms, of the support that the United States is giving to educational reforms here. We hope to help Pakistan in any way that we can, as well as India, in continuing the warming of relations between India and Pakistan. So we've had very good discussions. We had discussions about Pakistan and Afghanistan, now both allies in the war on terrorism. So that's the course.


MR. MIR: And why are educational reforms are important for you?

SECRETARY RICE: Well, they're important, I think, for Pakistan and they're important because everybody wants their children to be able to grow up with limitless horizons about what is possible. And if children are well educated early then they can do anything and it is also the case that particularly in a place in which in close quarters there has been a concern that the message might not have not been about tolerance among the many people who populate this area; that that's an important element of educational reform as well.

MR. MIR: And tell us why is the U.S. against India-Iran gas pipeline?

SECRETARY RICE: Well, we've voiced our concerns to the Indian Government about the gas pipeline with Iran. It's not only with India. We've similarly talked to Japan about a gas project that they would have because the United States has sanctions on Iran for good reasons. We have many differences with Iran about terrorism, about interference in their neighbor's affairs, about the fate of the Iranian people themselves. And so we've voiced our concerns.


But we also understand that this and other such projects are emblematic of the tremendous energy demands that are there in growing economies, like in India or Pakistan economy, or for that matter, the growing economy of the United States and that the message that we are therefore carrying to everyone is that we all need to pool our thinking, our technologies, our ability to come up with reliable energy supplies, energy supplies that are hopefully environmentally (inaudible).


MR. MIR: Are you satisfied with the investigations regarding the nuclear black marketing and investigations against Dr. A.Q. Khan?


SECRETARY RICE: First of all, it was a very good thing for the world that the A.Q. Khan network is out of business and we are working with a number of governments around the world, most especially Pakistan, to make sure that that is indeed the case. We have good cooperation with Pakistan on this matter, good information sharing, and we are working with all who might have been involved because this is a very serious matter. The thought of a black market entrepreneur trading in the world's most terrible weapons technology, really gives us cause to think that this is not just a state-to-state issue but that these networks need to be understood and broken up.


MR. MIR: Do you want direct access to Dr. A.Q. Khan for your investigators?


SECRETARY RICE: Well, we are working with the Pakistanis to -- for reasonable arrangements to get what we need to work together in order to deal with this problem. It's important to realize that this isn't just of interest to the United States. It's, of course, of interest to Pakistan which wants to know what happened here. And so I'm confident that we can work together and arrangements can be made.


MR. MIR: You have spent many hours with President Pervez Musharraf. Have you discussed the political situation in Pakistan and have you discussed his uniform?


SECRETARY RICE: Well, we certainly discussed, as we are with all of our friends, the importance of a democratic path for Pakistan. We talked about the fact that the press is open and increasingly free here, that it's a vibrant, and such an important step forward about the educational reforms. But of course, we fully expect there has to be a democratic path and that elections have to be held.


The President made a major point in his inaugural address that democracy -- the discussion of democracy would have to be an issue with every country in the world. And so that is also true here in Pakistan.


MR. MIR: You met Indian leaders in Delhi. Are you satisfied with the dialogue process going on between India and Pakistan?


SECRETARY RICE: We're very impressed with the positive dialogue thus far. The fact that the leaders on both sides seem intent on trying to improve relations. We understand that there are deep division underneath, that there are differences that would have to be overcome to have a lasting chance for a good relationship. But it's a very good thing that there are links opening up. It's a very good thing that both sides seem committed to a more peaceful future. It's a good thing that President Musharraf is going to some cricket match. Last night, he actually tried to explain cricket to me and I promised I was going to figure out what --


MR. MIR: You don't understand cricket?


SECRETARY RICE: No, I'm afraid not.


(Laughter.)


MR. MIR: President Musharraf recently said in an interview that he had lost the track of Usama bin Laden. Do you think that U.S. Intelligence agencies have also lost track of Usama bin Laden?


SECRETARY RICE: Well, I can't speak to the day to day of this, but we of course are working hard to find Usama bin Laden. There is a worldwide intelligence network and law enforcement network that is now tracking and pursuing al-Qaida. The one good thing is that Usama bin Laden's world has gotten a lot smaller than it was just a few years ago: he cannot operate in Afghanistan; he cannot operate with impunity in Afghanistan or in the northwest frontier, here in Pakistan, because people are actively seeking him and actively seeking al-Qaida.


It is also true that it's important as it would be to get Usama bin Laden, as much as I look forward to the day that that phone call comes. It is the al-Qaida network that is key here and we have succeeded in putting out of commission many of the al-Qaida field generals, people like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or Abu Zubaida. We have also succeeded in constraining their financial resources and pull. And as I said, their world is getting smaller, it's harder for them to communicate, it's harder for them to operate, and that is a very important goal too.


MR. MIR: Recently, as al-Qaida courier was captured and U.S. intelligence officials revealed that he was carrying a message from bin Laden to al-Zarqawi in Iraq. Does that mean that that bin Laden is still active and operating?


SECRETARY RICE: We're quite certain that he is still active, in some sense, but I don't think any of us know the degree of that activity; that Zarqawi would somehow link up with al-Qaida and Usama bin Laden is not surprising, in fact, he had links earlier on to al-Qaida and operated in Iraq even before the war. But Zarqawi is also now operating in a different environment. The Zarqawi network can cause spectacular damage and spectacular loss of life with the car bombings they carry out.


But they can't offer the Iraqi people a promising picture. Only the political process that really got a tremendous boost with the election back in January can offer the Iraqis a political future and Zarqawi did everything that he could to make sure that the Iraqi people would not vote. He threatened them. There were posters up that threatened them. But they voted anyway and that's a defeat for terrorism.


MR. MIR: Where is the U.S. now in sending F-16 planes to Pakistan?


SECRETARY RICE: Well, I am here, in part, to discuss defense requirements and defense needs, as we continue to do. And we are concerned about the defense requirements of Pakistan. We're concerned about issues of military balance, and as good allies, we will continue to do so.


MR. MIR: And when President Bush will visit Pakistan and India?


SECRETARY RICE: Well, that's a good question. I know he very much wants to come. We hope that it won't be very long from now because one of the things he's very much wanted to do was to get to (inaudible).


MR. MIR: And the last question. The U.S. is facing a crisis of image in the Muslim world. Are you doing anything? What are you doing for improving your image in the Muslim world?


SECRETARY RICE: We found out that the United States needs to do a better job of explaining what it is that we are doing. And I would just make a couple of points: first of all, the United States in the last several times that it has used force, it has largely been on behalf of Muslims who were in trouble, whether it was in Kuwait, where we freed Kuwait of Saddam Hussein who had occupied the country; in the Balkans and Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Kosovo, where Muslim populations that were being slaughtered by Serbs and by others; in the situation in Afghanistan because the Muslim population that was freed of one of the worst regimes in the 20th century, the Taliban, which was brutal in its suppression of the people and particularly brutal in its treatment of women.


In Iraq, it has been the United States and the coalition that has given an opportunity to the Iraqi people to vote and to show that democracy can take hold in the center of the Arab world, something that has stimulated people in much of the Middle East to feel the winds of freedom. And of course, we have enormous respect for the great faith of Islam. We have enormous respect for Muslim culture. I might point out that one of the fastest growing groups in the United States is the Muslim population, where American Muslims worship freely, where they hold their traditions, where they educate their children in their traditions.


And so, the greatest respect that the United States can have for Muslim population is that we believe, like all other people in the world, they desire freedom and liberty and that they aspire to the human dignity that comes with freedom and liberty. We do not subscribe to the idea that somehow Muslims -- that the Muslim faith and democracy can't live in the same body. Of course they can.


So I think that if we can simply have an opportunity to talk more about what America has meant for Muslim population, such as has needed to be freed from brutal regimes, what -- how well Muslims do in the United States, and also that we believe strongly that there are going to be burgeoning, vibrant Muslim democracies. I think people want to (inaudible).


MR. MIR: Thank you Madame.


SECRETARY RICE: Thank you.


MR. MIR: I think you don't believe in the clash of civilization too?


SECRETARY RICE: I absolutely do not believe in the clash of civilizations. We are all one civilization and that's a human civilization that I think aspires to the dignity that comes with freedom and liberty.


Thank you.


2005/T4-10

[xmasdale]

I was phoned by Justin about this this morning. He's clearly got the jitters about it and believes we should all be flagging up this article and pointing out how it appears to provide background information to justify blaming Iran for a nuclear attack on the US.

Making those that have ears to hear realise its significant is something we can all do. It does suggest they're preparing public opinion for a nuclear attack within the US. I would avoid saying it's likely to happen on a particular date as that leaves us open to be discredited if it does not. But flagging it up and saying it looks like it will happen soon and the consequences are likely to be: tight control of the internet, mass internment of "trouble makers", a nuclear attack on Iran etc. What have they built all those concentration camps in the US for? To intern all those trouble-makers who say 9/11 was an inside job?

Don't say it's definitely going to happen. I think we should express our alarm at the high likelihood of another such false flag attack.

Write to the press, politicians? There is a possibility that widespread exposure of its imminence can prevent it from happening.

Those are my thoughts anyway, and I believe reports in the Pakistani press of Osama bin Laden's funeral in December 2001 were probably quite accurate. There has been no convincing video or audio of him since, yet plenty of shots of him from before.

Noel

[xmasdale]

I think this article by Nick Kollerstrom/astro3 from our archives on his research into OBL is relevant here. I've not yet seen anything which convincingly contradicts the conclusions Nick draws. http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/archive/OBL.htm

Noel

[Hazzard]

They are certainly going to have to find justification to attack Iran. And they are sticking pretty closely to the way they did Iraq. Suspicions of WMD. Suspicions of contact with "TERRORISTS". Quiet, then an altimatum, then quiet (we are in this particular time now) after this (soon) we will no doubt see the false flag hit.
