Gadhafi armed al-Qaida with bio-chem weapons
Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin (by way of WorldNetDaily.com) ^ | December 28, 2003 | Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin

Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi provided al-Qaida with chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction before changing heart and agreeing to destroy his arms program, Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin has learned.

Libyan intelligence chief Musa Kussa told U.S. and UK spy agencies that tens of thousands of weapons had been produced at 10 secret sites in the country. Kussa has named hundreds of what he termed "sleeper" al-Qaida agents in Britain and the U.S.

Gadhafi's dramatic turnaround has earned him a future meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush.

He was welcomed back on to the world stage with the understanding that his help to Osama bin Laden would never officially be mentioned.

Kussa escorted British officials to Libya's secret sites on what was described as "the best bus tour in intelligence history."

Not only has that new intelligence led to heightened terror alerts in the U.S. and Britain, but the agreement has prompted new threats on Gadhafi's life by al-Qaida terrorists.

In what one intelligence officer later called an "extraordinarily detailed debrief," Kussa revealed to U.S. and Bristish intelligence:

Al-Qaida obtained some of its weapons through a Brazilian arms dealer, Suekdew Siew, travelling on an Australian passport. He used an alias, David Sunkar. Siew spoke fluent Arabic and carried a letter of credit from the Baltic Bank of Reconstruction and Development in Riga, Latvia.

Other al-Qaida weapons purchasers were from the former Soviet Union.

Some weapons were flown out under diplomatic seal to Balkan airports on Libyan airlines. From there, they were transported to Afghanistan.

Other weapons were taken out of Libya through the Sudan and eventually by Arab dhows, small boats, to Yemen.

Kussa said he had "reliable information" that al-Qaida had stockpiled chemical and biological weapons in the Balkans.

("Kussa has named hundreds of what he termed "sleeper" al-Qaida agents in Britain and the U.S.")

It will be interesting to see how the left media handle this - if true.

Can we expect hundreds of arrest?

Very interesting. I would like to know a whole lot more about Mr. Siew. Where was he born? Where was he educated? How did he get into the arms business? Has the US ever had dealings with him in the past?

    This is going to devastate the Islamic Studies departments at Harvard and Columbia. I wonder what they're going to do with those soon-to-emptied campus offices.
"Other al-Qaida weapons purchasers were from the former Soviet Union."
    Hahaha! All those frenzied Russian efforts to whisk Saddam's records out of the country and cover their own tracks have now come to naught.

Does this article render WorldNetDaily.com unofficial in the world of the press?

And who does Mr. Siew donate political campaign contributions besides the DNC?

I think it just means that Bush is not going to stand up and tell the world about Qaddafi's AQ connection.

"Can we expect hundreds of arrest?" Unexplained deaths is more to the point. Time for these bastards to go ... to their demons.

If this is authenticated, it's the first solid, publically disclosed evidence that Al Queda does have WMD, and that they're in this country. It places a whole new urgency in ferreting them out. I get the feeling that this was deliberately leaked for several possible reasons.

Just a guess, but I think the arrests were probably already made before Gadhafi's defection became common knowledge. Why tip them off?

Can anyone have much doubt that Gadhafi's "change of heart" in the wake of the capture of the butcher was really an acute case of CYA?

Yep. He's was afraid that there would be an attack involving WMD that could be traced to him.

We need some kind of way to report to one another any signs of an impending big coming down. I long for a daily terror alert from Freepers as to what they might see.
