Gay death gone bad.

Or...

..killed because of haircut.

[dominic flandry]

It seems that his death was caused by professionals if the cause of death has not yet been determined.

[sodpoodle]

That’s the guy from The Office. A different Gareth.

This is from the article - not funny to his family and colleagues:

Police also released surveillance camera images of Gareth Williams taken August 15, about a week before officials discovered his body on August 23.

The dead MI6 spy was an unsung hero, so why are shadowy figures trying to blacken his name?...

A brilliant mathematical boffin, he was helping to oversee a network which links satellites and super-computers in Britain and the U.S. with those of other key allies.

He had also worked on breaking coded Taliban messages, helping to save the lives of countless British and other Nato soldiers under attack in Afghanistan.

Hdeath would seem to have serious security implications of one kind or another - including the possibility that he was murdered by enemies of this country. Yet shadowy unnamed sources started putting it about that 'bondage equipment and gay paraphernalia' were found in his flat.

The implication was that his death was caused by some seedy sadomasochistic practice that went wrong. this planted suggestion greatly upset his grieving family, who protested at the 'horrible and completely fictitious accounts of his private life'...it was refuted in the strongest possible terms by the police who said no such paraphernalia had been found in Mr Williams's flat

In another case, a turf-war was said to have broken out between the police and the intelligence world, with the police complaining that the spooks hindered their investigation.

....returned August 11 from a trip to the United States it was released Monday.

This is a serious matter to some...call me your wet blanket.

All that intel in the USA is now being filter by the islamics/muslim brotherhood moles in the Pentagon, CIA, NSA, Hussein Admin to the Taliban and Al Qeada.

Our troops over there cannot trust anyone now. The BRits seems to be doing better now that the Labour-Islamic Party is out. The Torys are a little better & Lib Dems not so much. I think MI6 is back with the right team post islamo POS Blair/Browne.

If this is is true about this young man breaking codes then he was a real hero.

Thank goodness the UK has two good newspapers in the Daily Mail and the Telegraph. The only thing we have is Wash Times and Investors Business Daily. The rest in the US are total shite including Murdoch/Saudi WSJ.

Police are working on the assumption that Mr Williams was either smothered or poisoned and "testing for any other substance continues..The only people believed to be unaccounted for in recent months who were seen at the flats on Alderney Street are the Mediterranean man and woman. Police have been told they were let into the communal front door, late one evening, either in June or July. Detectives want to trace them to eliminate them from the inquiry.

Remember the assassination that took place in Dubai for that arms dealer as there was no forced entry then..there are ways...

Report read: "the assassins tried to reprogram the electronic lock on al-Mabhouh’s door to gain entry. Some news reports say the assassins entered the room while the victim was out and waited for him to return, while others say they were thwarted from entering the room when a hotel guest stepped off the elevator on al-Mabhouh’s floor. They then had to resort to tricking al-Mabhouh into opening his door to them after he returned."

"..killed because of haircut."

Oh, noes!

It was Scotland Yard that alerted our government intelligence to the subway bombers planned attack.

Also another Scotland yard case:

Scotland Yard has defended its initial investigation of phone-hacking by News of the World journalists, claiming that new evidence from a former reporter “has come from nowhere 06 Sep 2010, Scotland Yard defends investigation into News of the World phone-hacking claims. Detectives have asked the New York Times to hand over the transcript .

Thank God for Melanie Phillips. She is a British treasure.

Yes, I rely on UK papers you name. London Telegraph first read.

UKReuters article and photo:

They also issued closed circuit television footage of Williams, who returned to Britain from a holiday in the United States on August 11, on shopping trips in the West End and Knightsbridge areas of London a week before his body was found.

The mysterious circumstances surrounding Williams' death has prompted some experts to question whether he was targetted because of the nature of his work.

"In my own opinion, a murder of this kind bears all the hallmarks of a professional killing and not a rage attack," said Professor Anthony Glees, Director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at the University of Buckingham.

"It looks increasingly to me that a hostile intelligence service was responsible. To me this looks like a Russian job -- they have killed in London before -- but it could also be an Iranian one."

Funny how Pearl Harbor, North Korean invsion and the later Chinese participation, the developemnt of Soviet, Indian, Pakistanini nuclear weapons, the non devolpment of Saddam, Saddams invasion of Kuwait, the fall of the Soviet Union, 9/11 always comes as a surprise to our “inteligenc agencies’.

General Schwarzkopf when asked about the CIA and other agency support. ‘Their reports were so late, so qualified, so vague as to be useless’.

The guy looks like a gay dork.

And a Russian spy was found dead on the beach in , I think. Turkey< a few days ago. Gang war among the Agencies?

[Leisler]

"Spook agencies in some countries target British operatives by using good-looking agents to seduce them into giving up secrets.

And Mr Williams, 31 - found murdered at his central London home - was known to meet men in the capital's gay mecca of Vauxhall Cross and Soho in the West End.

Officers broke into his £400,000 top-floor flat in Pimlico when he failed to contact colleagues. Investigators suspect Mr Williams might have known his killer as there was no sign of forced entry.

So, not married, no girl, lives in $800,000 posh apartment in a gay section, owned by a Russian named company and has just traveled to the US and is so...so...so...frekin'n important, that he goes missing for two or more weeks before his bosses get off their arses and go looking for him. Top flyte!

i must say, it is virtually impossible right now to know what
the truth is. i do hope it is unravelled as i would love
to know the answer.

“All that intel in the USA is now being filter by the islamics/muslim brotherhood moles in the Pentagon, CIA, NSA, Hussein Admin to the Taliban and Al Qeada.”

I’m concerned about that as well. In the case of this guy, I am very concerned that our backdoor intelligence people are being specifically targeted. This truly is a war with no boundaries.
