Even after the World Trade Center attack of September 11, Britain was ‘protecting’
known Al Qaeda officials.
“Investigators from Spain, Germany and Italy are desperate to question Abu Qatada, who they claim is
a pivotal figure in cells they have under arrest in their own countries. Their requests to question him
and some of the other suspects directly have been rejected by the Government. Investigators in Spain
who named Abu Qatada as 'the spiritual leader of al-Qaeda in Europe', say their own terror trials are
hindered by Britain's refusal to let them interrogate the cleric. The Jordanian Government has
sentenced him to life imprisonment for his role in planning a bombing campaign to coincide with the
millenium celebrations and cannot understand why Abu Qatada is not extradited. In spite of holding
most of the terror suspects for many months, the men are providing the security services and police
with little intelligence on terrorist activity in the United Kingdom."[ London Times 19 December

"Described by some justice officials as the spiritual leader and possible puppet master of al-Qaeda's
European networks, Abu Qatada has been missing since mid-December after British authorities
confiscated his passport, froze his assets and ordered him confined to his London home. With Jordan
seeking his return to serve a life sentence for terror-related crimes, some observers figured Abu Qatada
went underground—and perhaps left Britain—to avoid extradition. But senior European intelligence
officials tell TIME that Abu Qatada is tucked away in a safe house in the north of England, where he
and his family are being lodged, fed and clothed by British intelligence services".['Sheltering A Puppet

The Mujahedin mercenaries hired by Richard Secord to fight in Azerbaijan fought for
multiple causes in multiple countries. Their use as instruments of US policy in
Afghansistan, Kosovo, Chechnya, Georgia, Azerbaijan has been documented in hundreds
of reports. Their protection by US and British policy makers long after the fatwa
proclamation is equally well documented. The reader needs to suspend judgment when it
comes to accepting at face value the claim that the hijackers and fatwa bombers were in
the service of Osama Bin Ladin. The timing of the fatwa and the embassy bombings is
consistent with the timing of a decision to destroy the World Trade Center, in such a way
that it is possible that the fatwa and bombings were part of a larger plan to blame the
WTC attack on ‘terrorists’. Evidence has been presented that the individuals responsible
for these bombings were US trained, and belonged to a resource pool available to Secord,
Armitage and Kimche. This is another in a list of hundreds of coincidences that support
the conclusion that the Al Qaeda explanation offered by the US investigation is a
falsehood.
U.S. Control of Afghanistan
In December 1998, following the US bombardment of Afghanistan and the anti-Taliban
campaign of the Feminist Majority that was directed against Unocal, that company
withdrew from the pipeline consortium. Unocal, in a related news release, also
announced a 40 percent drop in capital spending for 1999 because of low oil prices,
which it suggested, would prevent moving ahead on the pipeline in a timeframe required
by the Taliban. The Taliban wanted the financial rewards associated with a pipeline, and
