On August 19, a month after the crash, the local medical examiner in Suffolk County - in whose jurisdiction the disaster occurred - declared that Mohammed Ferrat had been positively identified as a dead passenger from TWA Flight 800."Swiss link insurance fraud to TWA 800 crash; TV report says police investigating businessman killed on jet ," The Guardian Foreign Page; May 27, 1998; Pg. 19US investigators counted him out as a suspect early. They examined his luggage but found no sign of an explosive - and uncovered nothing to link him to a terrorist act or to show he had been used to unknowingly carry an explosive on board.
Mr Page, who said he represents a shipping firm in the Ivory Coast with claims against Ferrat, advised the Swiss insurer Winterthur about his suspicions.
Werner Rast, a spokesman for the insurance company, said in the report that his firm had decided to hold up payment of a policy worth pounds 437,500 to Ferrat's family. The report said French firms, by contrast, paid out claims on similar policies held by Ferrat.
Ferrat's finance firm, Sofin SA, mainly conducted business in the Ivory Coast, it said. It quoted Mr Page as saying Sofin was deeply indebted and that Ferrat had made transfers of millions into family and offshore accounts in the weeks before the explosion.
The report showed footage of the late US commerce secretary, Ron Brown, at the Washington signing with Ferrat of a pounds 62.5 million contract between Sofin and the US construction firm Chatwick Inc, which was to build residences in the Ivory Coast. Chatwick spent pounds 2.5 million on the project before halting it, the television said.
The report interviewed a Chatwick official, Djaffar Abdelouahab, who said he saw Ferrat off on a flight from Washington that connected with TWA Flight 800. Mr Abdelouahab said he appeared unusually preoccupied.
Ferrat had been in Baltimore to visit his mother, who was in Johns Hopkins Hospital with terminal cancer. The television report showed Ferrat's tombstone on a grave he shares with his mother, who died of cancer later in 1996, in a Paris Muslim cemetery.
The authorities' suspicions were initially prompted, Swiss television said, when Ferrat's credit card was charged with purchases totalling pounds 440 in the weeks after the TWA crash. But US investigators later learned the cards were used by family members.
It certainly seems that the Clinton CIA was involved in Commerce activity - and certain key (globalism type) money people were not on the Brown flight, people who perhaps share a pattern of troubling financial transactions, golden parachutes, etc. Very interesting indeed!!!
