MI6 is trying to cover its trackshttp://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1566916,00.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1566916,00.html Michael Meacher was the UK's environment minister
from 1997 to 2003.In 2003, he wrote in the Guardian that the war on
terrorism is bogus and that the 9/11 attacks gave the US an ideal pretext to use
force to secure its global domination. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/attacks/comment/0,1320,1036772,00.html http://politics.guardian.co.uk/attacks/comment/0,1320,1036772,00.html Now, in the 10 September 2005 Guardian, he is
suggesting that the intelligence agencies may thwart the London bombings
investigation.Meacher looks at the links between the security services
and certain 'Moslem' groups who may be linked to the London bombs.The US
used Pakistanis from Britain to fight in Bosnia, in order to weaken the Serb
government's hold on Yugoslavia. Meacher writes:'According to a
recent report by the Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation, a contingent was
also sent by the Pakistani government, then led by Benazir Bhutto, at the
request of the Clinton administration. This contingent was formed from the
Harkat-ul- Ansar (HUA) terrorist group and trained by the ISI. The report
estimates that about 200 Pakistani Muslims living in the UK went to Pakistan,
trained in HUA camps and joined the HUA's contingent in Bosnia. Most
significantly, this was "with the full knowledge and complicity of the British
and American intelligence agencies".'As the 2002 Dutch government report
on Bosnia makes clear, the US provided a green light to groups on the state
department list of terrorist organisations, including the Lebanese-based
Hizbullah, to operate in Bosnia - an episode that calls into question the
credibility of the subsequent "war on terror".'For nearly a decade the
US helped Islamist insurgents linked to Chechnya, Iran and Saudi Arabia
destabilise the former Yugoslavia. The insurgents were also allowed to move
further east to Kosovo. By the end of the fighting in Bosnia there were tens of
thousands of Islamist insurgents in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo; many then moved
west to Austria, Germany and Switzerland.'Less well known is evidence of
the British government's relationship with a wider Islamist terrorist network.
During an interview on Fox TV this summer, the former US federal prosecutor John
Loftus reported that British intelligence had used the al-Muhajiroun group in
London to recruit Islamist militants with British passports for the war against
the Serbs in Kosovo. Since July Scotland Yard has been interested in an alleged
member of al-Muhajiroun, Haroon Rashid Aswat, who some sources have suggested
could have been behind the London bombings. 'According to Loftus, Aswat
was detained in Pakistan after leaving Britain, but was released after 24 hours.
He was subsequently returned to Britain from Zambia, but has been detained
solely for extradition to the US, not for questioning about the London bombings.
Loftus claimed that Aswat is a British-backed double agent, pursued by the
police but protected by MI6. 'One British Muslim of Pakistani origin
radicalised by the civil war in Yugoslavia was LSE-educated Omar Saeed Sheikh.
He is now in jail in Pakistan under sentence of death for the killing of the US
journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 - although many (including Pearl's widow and the
US authorities) doubt that he committed the murder. However, reports from
Pakistan suggest that Sheikh continues to be active from jail, keeping in touch
with friends and followers in Britain.Sheikh was recruited as a student
by Jaish-e-Muhammad (Army of Muhammad), which operates a network in Britain. It
has actively recruited Britons from universities and colleges since the early
1990s, and has boasted of its numerous British Muslim
volunteers.'Investigations in Pakistan have suggested that on his visits
there Shehzad Tanweer, one of the London suicide bombers, contacted members of
two outlawed local groups and trained at two camps in Karachi and near Lahore.
Indeed the network of groups now being uncovered in Pakistan may point to senior
al-Qaida operatives having played a part in selecting members of the bombers'
cell. The Observer Research Foundation has argued that there are even "grounds
to suspect that the [London] blasts were orchestrated by Omar Sheikh from his
jail in Pakistan".'Why then is Omar Sheikh not being dealt
