Europe
Al-Qaeda Swiss network
2004-09-20
The trail began in the desert mayhem of Saudi Arabia and led to a suspected Islamic network operating in the Alpine tranquillity of Switzerland. After Al Qaeda bombers attacked three expatriate housing compounds in Riyadh last year, killing 34 foreigners, Saudi investigators recovered a suspect's cell phone. They made a startling discovery: The phone's memory contained 36 Swiss numbers. And one of them belonged to an alleged Yemeni extremist based in the pristine village of Aegerten, an area known more for clockmakers than for terrorists.

The resulting investigation by Swiss police has led to 10 arrests in the past year. According to a preliminary indictment filed on July 30, the inquiry has unmasked a logistics and finance network in Switzerland with ties to top Al Qaeda figures and terrorist cells across Europe, West Asia, Africa and Asia. The indictment includes charges of supplying fraudulent documents, smuggling itinerant West Asian extremists into Switzerland and using criminal rackets to raise and move ''important sums of money'' to cells in Europe and the Gulf region.

Switzerland entered the picture in 2002, when investigators found that Al Qaeda's operational boss, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and his associates were using Swiss cellular phones. Intercepts revealed that Mohammed, who has since been captured, was in touch with a Swiss convert in a plot that led to the bombing of a Tunisian synagogue in 2002. The Swiss convert remains free, though several Yemenis who attended the Biel Islamic centre like him have been indicted last month.

#13  Hey Boris--

That's a hell of an interesting post Fred pointed to. Since you were blaming Bosnian Muslims back in 1998, does that not show that you were at that time merely a pawn of the Zionists? Jews are much, much smarter than you--not that that's saying so much, since you're clearly subnormal--no wonder you're so jealous of them.

#9  Boris has been dropping turds on other peoples websites for several years. He's changed the name of his site from "satanrules.com" by now, replacing it with his various "defense leagues." He has a category all to himself in the Hate Directory. He's a nut, and because he's a nut he'll continue coming back. When he's not pooping here we'll know the men in white coats have come for him, and when he comes back we'll know his benefits ran out at the home.

Ptui.

#7  No, not me. But there's so many of us it's hard to keep track of everybody. We sometimes have operations on top of operations on top of operations. It can get messy, but not nearly as messy as it is under this bed.
Made you look, UFOOL.

#5  C'mon, Info, 'fess up: you're a Mossad agent, aren't you? Perhaps the one on punishment detail under poor Boris' bed? Or maybe the CIA contact who reports to them?
