FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Foreign Press Reveals Collin Powel Negotiated Afghanistan War Months
Before Suicide Air Attacks: Motive is Oil Profits for Multinational
War Partners
The BBC and an Indian news agency in seperate stories, one months
before and one shortly after the suicide air attack on America, have
presented the most horrendous picture to date regarding the true
nature of the terror in NYC and elsewhere:
Prior knowledge. Links to these stories are contained herein.
Those backing President Bush's request for a coalition had better
make certain they are getting their fair share of the spoils of war,
a war arranged months before the suicide air attacks against the US.
A pact for war against the Taliban was made between the United
States, CIS (Russia), Pakistan, and India to facilitate a Middle-East
to S.E. Asia Oil Pipeline, which cannot take place with growing
political and religious upheaval in the region at the hands of the
Taliban. Iran is thought to be a covert member to the pact. The
combat was initially slated for mid October, which would seem to
account for warnings that preparing for war will take time.
The problem is that the ONLY logical pipeline route runs for nearly a
thousand miles along the Afghanistan border with Iran and Pakistan,
(largely so close as to be visible from the border. This route would
seem to provide the US with the best incentive to date to cooperate
with Iran by, in essence, competing with a proposed Chinese backed
oil pipeline project serving the same oil fields in northern Iran and
points south, preventing China from obtaining a defacto monopoly
holder on oil supplies for SE Asia. The Chinese began negotiating
that project in 1997, causing a great deal of consternation for the
Clinton administration and major US oil companies who stood to gain
little in the project.
However, the Taliban are fomenting both religious and political
instability in the region between Iranian and Pakistani Shiites and
Taliban Sunni Islamic sects, with notable success. This unrest makes
impractical the financial investment and international cooperation
required to construct the pipeline.
The solution was apparantly to be death warrants for both the Taliban
leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and capitalistic terrorist Osama bin
Laden, who had apparantly grown too profitable and too strong for his
former CIA masters and American business partners to control.
Destruction of the Taliban was imperative, but political needs would
not permit a simple solution.
For Pakistan and India, long bitter rivals, to partner would require
only sufficient profits to make peace between them more palatable.
However, Pakistan required a significant motive beyond profits to
risk internal conflict due to its nation's divided religious and
political landscape, all intertwined with allegiances to the Taliban.
There needed to be an extremely irresistible reason for the nation's
leadership to back/support military action against what their own
citizens considered a virtual spiritual ally.
In like manner, Iran required an irresistible reason to publicly
support with vocal blessings American interests in any such action,
and at the same time, needed a way to salve bitter wounds between the
two countries which would allow future joint financial ventures.
In similar manner, the United States needed a very powerful and
irresistible reason to mobilize America into supporting such a war, a
war which would be extremely difficult to prosecute, as the Soviet
Union could testify of first hand, having found the Soviet-
Afghanistan war to be their "Vietnam."
The logical solution which would indeed provide irresistible reasons
for all concerned, would now seem to be the horrific terror campaign
against the NYC and Washington DC by former CIA strong man, Osama bin
Laden, who perhaps is still on the payroll after all. The question
is, if the war was being secretely planned by the administration... a
war which could not be sold to Americans without such a catastrophic
event... then who really planned the 911 event?
The attack comes in the wake of revelations by author James Bamford
in his book Body of Evidence of a secret plan for US military
intelligence operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American
targets... blow up buildings, shoot down civilian airliners, blow up
American war ships, and assassinate American citizens... for
political gain. Operation Northwoods was signed off by all five Joint
Chiefs of Staff under the Kennedy administration as a way to foment
public support for a war against Cuba, who would be blamed for the
terrorist acts. Rejected sternly by President Kennedy, which may have
contributed to reasons behind his assassination, this Reichtag fire
approach to political gain may have been the model for September 11,
shifting the blame this time to the Taliban homeland. What would make
a more irresistible excuse for war?
In light of these revelations, American media needs to decide if it
will continue to ignore truth and the principles of journalism for
its preferred role as Fourth Estate PR spokesperson of government.
Will they tell America these facts or hide what the rest of the world
already knows through news agencies which have no such loyalties?
Will American politicians find themselves being asked by their
constituents if they knew in advance of this death pact, and have the
blood of innocents on their hands as coconspirators, or will they
demand a full accounting of the facts before signing off on the blood
lust boiling over as result of this war plot?

The first is a BBC story of a former Pakistani diplomat coming
forward to tell of his country's knowledge of the planned war,
concerned perhaps that the air attacks were not as advertised:

US 'planned attack on Taleban'
The wider objective was to oust the Taleban
By the BBC's George Arney
A former Pakistani diplomat has told the BBC that the US was planning
military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taleban even before
last week's attacks.
Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior
American officials in mid-July that military action against
Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.
Russian troops were on standby
Mr Naik said US officials told him of the plan at a UN-sponsored
international contact group on Afghanistan which took place in
Berlin.
Mr Naik told the BBC that at the meeting the US representatives told
him that unless Bin Laden was handed over swiftly America would take
military action to kill or capture both Bin Laden and the Taleban
leader, Mullah Omar.
The wider objective, according to Mr Naik, would be to topple the
Taleban regime and install a transitional government of moderate
Afghans in its place - possibly under the leadership of the former
Afghan King Zahir Shah.
Mr Naik was told that Washington would launch its operation from
bases in Tajikistan, where American advisers were already in place.
Bin Laden would have been "killed or captured"
He was told that Uzbekistan would also participate in the operation
and that 17,000 Russian troops were on standby.
Mr Naik was told that if the military action went ahead it would take
place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle
of October at the latest.
He said that he was in no doubt that after the World Trade Center
bombings this pre-existing US plan had been built upon and would be
implemented within two or three weeks.
And he said it was doubtful that Washington would drop its plan even
if Bin Laden were to be surrendered immediately by the Taleban.

The above article confirms the second, which was written by an Indian
news agency months before the attack and is much more detailed.

India in anti-Taliban military plan
India and Iran will "facilitate" the planned US-Russia hostilities
against the Taliban.
By Our Correspondent
26 June 2001: India and Iran will "facilitate" US and Russian plans
for "limited military action" against the Taliban if the contemplated
tough new economic sanctions don't bend Afghanistan's fundamentalist
regime.
The Taliban controls 90 per cent of Afghanistan and is advancing
northward along the Salang highway and preparing for a rear attack on
the opposition Northern Alliance from Tajikistan-Afghanistan border
positions.
Indian foreign secretary Chokila Iyer attended a crucial session of
the second Indo-Russian joint working group on Afghanistan in Moscow
amidst increase of Taliban's military activity near the Tajikistan
border. And, Russia's Federal Security Bureau (the former KGB) chief
Nicolai Patroshev is visiting Teheran this week in connection with
Taliban's military build-up.
Indian officials say that India and Iran will only play the role
of "facilitator" while the US and Russia will combat the Taliban from
the front with the help of two Central Asian countries, Tajikistan
and Uzbekistan, to push Taliban lines back to the 1998 position 50 km
away from Mazar-e-Sharief city in northern Afghanistan.
Military action will be the last option though it now seems scarcely
avoidable with the UN banned from Taliban-controlled areas. The UN
which adopted various means in the last four years to resolve the
Afghan problem is now being suspected by the Taliban and refused
entry into Taliban areas of the war-ravaged nation through a decree
issued by Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar last month.
Diplomats say that the anti-Taliban move followed a meeting between
US Secretary of State Collin Powel and Russian Foreign Minister Igor
Ivanov and later between Powell and Indian foreign minister Jaswant
Singh in Washington. Russia, Iran and India have also held a series
of discussions and more diplomatic activity is expected.
The Northern Alliance led by ousted Afghan president Burhanuddin
Rabbani and his military commander Ahmed Shah Masood have mustered
Western support during a May 2001 visit to Dusseldorf, Germany.
The Taliban is using high-intensity rockets and Soviet-made tanks to
attack Northern Alliance fighters in the Hindukush range with alleged
Pakistani aid. But Northern Alliance fighters have acquired anti-tank
missiles from a third country that was used in the fight near Bagram
Air Base in early June. The Taliban lost 20 fighters and fled under
intense attack.
Officials say that the Northern Alliance requires a "clean up"
operation to reduce Taliban's war-fighting machinery to launch an
attack against the Taliban advance to the Tajik-Afghan border.
This "clean up" action is being planned by the US and Russia since
the Taliban shows no "sign of reconciliation".
Tajikistan and Uzbekistan will lead the ground attack with a strong
military back up of the US and Russia. Vital Taliban installations
and military assets will be targeted. India and Iran will provide
logistic support. Russian President Vladimir Putin has already hinted
of military action against the Taliban to CIS nation heads during a
meeting in Moscow in early June.
India and Iran have been assisting the Northern Alliance and the
Afghan people under their humanitarian programme since Taliban's
ouster of the Rabbani government in 1996. The US needs Russian
assistance because of Soviet knowledge of the Afghan terrain. The
former Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan in 1979 and withdrew in
1989.
Masood's strategic stronghold of Panjsher valley has been threatened
by the advancing Taliban militia for the last three months. The
Northern Alliance has stepped up its attack on Taliban troops who
have brought the valley within artillery fire range.
Military planners say that if Taliban were not given a blow now it
would slowly make inroads into the Panjsher valley. The fall of
Panjsher will enable Taliban to control the remaining 10 per cent of
Afghanistan in possession of the Northern Alliance.
Russia says it has evidence that the Taliban aims to
create "liberated zones" all across Central Asia and Russia and links
its Chechnya problem to the rise of Taliban fundamentalism. The US is
directly hit by the anti-US thrust of Islamic groups who use
Afghanistan as their base for terrorism and is demanding extradition
of Osama Bin Laden to face trial in the embassy bombing case.
Such Central Asian countries as Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan
and Turkmenistan are threatened by the Taliban that is aiming to
control their vast oil, gas and other resources by bringing Islamic
fundamentalists into power. Now all the CIS nations are seeking
assistance of Russia's Federal Border Guard Service to overcome the
Taliban threat.
General Konstantin Trotsky, director of the border force, said in a
newspaper interview, "We are watching the opposition of the Northern
Alliance and the Taliban in Afghanistan very closely."
For its part, Shia Iran is reluctant to tolerate a Sunni militia
regime on its border that gives Pakistan, a Sunni country and a
sponsor of the Taliban, a "strategic sway" on considerable parts of
the Iranian border. Iran is also affected by a Taliban-sponsored
movement in Ispahan province where Sunnis have a sizable population.
Iran is also worried over the unending war effort of the Taliban to
get supremacy in Afghanistan that is harming Iran's economic
interests. India, Iran and Russia, for example, are working on a
broad plan to supply oil and gas to south Asia and southeast Asian
nations through India but instability in Afghanistan is posing a
great threat to this effort.
Similarly, India is apprehensive about the increasing infiltration of
Afghan-trained foreign mercenaries into Kashmir. Security agencies
have reported that as many as 15,000 hardcore militants have received
training in such places in Afghanistan as Khost, Jalalabad, Kabul and
Kandahar since 1995. There are 55 terrorist training camps located in
Afghanistan that are funded and aided by Islamic fundamentalists to
carry out attacks against non-Islamic nations.
The UN had sent a 12-member delegation to India in the first week of
May to assess the feasibility of tough economic sanctions against
Taliban. The same delegation met General Pervez Musharraf to convince
him about the importance of Pakistani cooperation. The UN believes
that the sanctions can be only as tough as Pakistan desires.
India's official position is for a "peaceful and lasting solution" to
the Afghan problem. But it strongly advocates strict economic
sanctions against Taliban and is also not averse to a "limited
military action" to weaken it.
India plans to raise the Afghanistan issue in the forthcoming G-8
summit in Geneva in mid-July.
