Subject: Bin Laden's relationship with the United States has been greater than it is supposed
Lazaro Barredo Medina
Granma.co.cu
The name Bin Laden has been demonized, was until now the "bogeyman" of the XXI century. Its mere mention caused fear in American society, was used to promote "fear syndrome" and justify the most backward and undemocratic actions in the United States.
But Bin Laden family had and has many more links with the United States that are involved.
Between 1981 and 1988, at least 15 individuals of different nationalities, including himself CIA director, William Casey, died in unusual circumstances: plane crashes, explosions, weird virus that resulted in fulminating cancer, sudden heart attacks or simply killed. Eight more have suffered attacks and one, the National Security exconsejero Robert McFarlane, attempted suicide.
all had in common have been closely linked to Iran-Contra, which involved the administration of Ronald Reagan and his then Vice President George Bush, in a major political scandal, it acted in utter violation of the law prevented the financial assistance to the Nicaraguan contras, and especially arms sales to Iran, a declared enemy of the United States.
For Washington, the Nicaraguan contras, and after the mujahideen of Afghanistan were "freedom fighters."
One of those characters who died in a strange way connected to these events was the Sheikh Salem bin Laden, in a plane crash in Texas in 1988, said that shortly after closing a petroleum business in which the interest was Bush family.
Several publications of twenty years ago and others later pointed out that according to the U.S. pilot plane, Sheikh Salem was involved in October 1980 in a secret meeting between CIA agents and Iranian envoys in Paris. There would have agreed on the release of the hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran after the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, a move that influenced the loss of James Carter's reelection.
None of this was tested, but the prosecutor speculated that Salem has been removed for being "a witness to embarrassing", while some analysts said at the end of 1990 flight plans aircraft have long been the center of a large number research, whose findings were never disclosed.
FAMILY BUSINESS FAMILY BUSH-BIN LADEN
American journalist Jerry Urban, the Houston Chronicle, wrote in the edition of June 4, 1992 an article titled "All in the Family" .
According to Urban investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a government agency dedicated to financial crimes control, were at that time reviewing accusations that entrepreneur James R. Bath moved to Houston a certain amount of money Saudi investors who wanted to influence U.S. policy under the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George Bush senior.
"In depositions, Bath said he represented four prominent Saudis as agent and that he would use his name on investment. In return, Bath said he would receive an interest in business," said the commentator.
The Houston Chronicle said in that article that "the tax documents and personal financial records showing that the employer had an interest in personally Bath Arbusto'79 Ltd, and Arbusto'80 Ltd limited partnerships controlled by George W. Bush, the eldest son of former President Bush. "
" Bush "stressed the press material," meaning "Bush" in English. "
The writer also noted that" according to an agreement Trust, 1976, prepared shortly after Bush was appointed director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Saudi Sheik Salem bin Laden named Bath as his business representative in Houston and there is evidence that the employer received a strong commission of companies that owned and operated the airport Gulf of Houston (Houston Gulf Airport) after the sale negotiations Bin Laden family in 1977. "
OTHER BUSINESSES AND LINKS CONSPIRATORS
Sheikh Salem bin Laden was, as big brother head of household, consisting of a numerous offspring (some say 54 and others were 57 children who had the Sheikh Mohammed bin Laden with 30 wives of various Arab nationalities) and inherited the Bin Laden Construction Group, a corporation he created in the fifties in Jeddah, along the Red Sea.
When Sheikh Salem bin Laden took control business, not only consolidated the construction companies but also made investments in the manufacture and distribution of arms and banks in Switzerland and branch offices throughout the Middle East. Had the full support of the then King Abdul Aziz and his family.
Several publications in those days commented on the business of Bin Laden and stressed that their company was one of the largest in the Saudi kingdom with assets estimated at more than 5 000 million, and Sheikh Mohammed became rich thanks to major projects to expand Islam's holy places, Mecca and Medina (west) entrusted to him by the Saudi royal palace.
At that time, thirteen of their children occupied a place on the board of the group, among which the best known were Bakr, Hassan, Yeslam and Yehia. It is asserted that Osama would be the only son of a Saudi mother.
the death of Salem, Bakr succeeded him in front of the group and ensure that activities beyond the borders of Saudi Arabia, covering various Arab countries and employing tens of thousands of people.
Several media outlets reported that by then the cluster was so large that decided to divide the "Syrian group", the "Lebanese group", the "Jordanian group" and the "Egyptian group."
The latter was the most developed with 40 000 employees, although several of the Bin Laden controlled the global business from Europe led by Yeslam, with offices in Geneva and Paris.
matched analysts point out before September 11, 2001 that the black sheep of the family, named Osama bin Muhammad bin Awad bin Laden, was also prepared for business studying engineering at the University of King Abdul Aziz in Jeddah.
But when he graduated in 1979, rejected the control of a local builder and went to fight with the Afghan mujahedeen who resisted the Soviet invasion and in that mission narrowed the links between bin Laden and the CIA.
United States had given support in high-tech military equipment and military training to Afghan guerrilla fighters and Islamists from the Middle East and northern Africa facing the Soviets, but both groups were unable coordinate their actions over ideological differences and old tribal feuds.
A United Nations consultant at that time, Mac Liman, said that this was the contribution of Osama bin Laden as a proxy for the CIA, who managed to bring together and accelerate the creation of a common front, while he became, with supported by the CIA and Saudi intelligence services, the treasurer of the operation "Afghanistan."
In 1988, forms what is known as the terrorist network "Al Qaeda." After the war against the Russians, he returned to Saudi Arabia and found it was a celebrity. The government in Riyadh began to isolate and his star began to fade away. But everything changed with the Gulf War Persian and had to abandon any connection with his brothers after being expelled from Saudi Arabia for supporting dissidents to King Fahd.
However, after several months of uncertainty, the Bin Laden Group made up its relationship with the Saudi royals and received multimillion-dollar contracts.
The Bin Laden Group had parent companies that appeared in all contracts under such names as CITL Birdgis bin Saud Al Mouraiban or Kara and offices in every capital of the Middle East, from Dubai to Amman, and a center operational in Geneva with branches in Paris and Madrid.
Analyst International stressed that bin Laden changed his Persian Gulf War and the involvement of their country. Stripped of his Saudi nationality, accused of being the financier of Islamic terrorism, Osama bin Laden appeared with a tear in his close ties to the CIA and declared holy war (Jihad) against the United States. His name resurfaced mysteriously in recent years increasingly stressed that American society, resulting in a made it convenient for the political class.
But business is business. Not even Osama activities in any way affect the relations between Bin Laden and the superpower, through various connections international group linked to financial capital.
Terrorism, business, conspiracy, everything is intertwined in the history of this family and the American authorities. Do you know someday either absolute truth, including what really happened on September 11th?
For now, do not break your head too much. As I responded to a neighbor's popular philosophy when I explained all these family ties: ... the reality surpasses the imagination more fertile and now they say is dead, even more so.
One thing itself is clear once more, and double standards. Promises enormous efforts to kill the terrorist Al Qaeda and meanwhile in the United States itself, in Miami, was buried with pomp another terrorist who claimed the U.S. justice system as public enemy No.1: Orlando Bosch, and other so dark as the Saudi, there is impunity for Luis Posada Carriles.
