The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.
Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:
the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?
The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.
Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:
Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.
There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.
But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.
The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?
Here is arguments for y’all in the ongoing fight:

The best picture of Iqubal ever – if true
Just found this here:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/5748973/FBI-think-secret-husband-James-Thompson-killed-by-poison.html
The Daily Mail, seem to be constantly updating the story, now with first descent picture of Kelly-Iqbal.
“A request for exhumation and an autopsy was refused because there wasn’t a good enough reason in the eyes of the U.S. authorities”
said French prosecutor Eric Maillaud.
Eric had known about Iqbal being married to Jimmy, almost from the off.
You would have thought that even in America if a person snuffed it whilst driving a vehicle, that an autopsy would be automatic?
That’s a very interesting photo, Jim having the appearance of an [CIA?] executive. It is difficult to square with the other photos were he with biker-boots an all looked like a MC Rocker. Questionb is, what could Iqbal deliver to the CIA ? We’re talking about spring 1999 to spring 2001. She is Shia and as such want to see the demise of Saddam.
For sure, not all of the CIA wanted to see the demise of Saddam – on the contrary he had for many years — along with fellow Baathist Assad in Syria, been one of tte staundest allies of the CIA.
I’m not sufficiently briefed of the internal dealings of this rough organisation, but I know of one faboulous lady, who worked as an asset for CIA, who was VERY engaged in preventing the Iraq War, but we also know that powerful forces worked against her [and the rest of the peaceful worlds] aspirations, and won. Her name is Susan Lindauer, who was impriosened without trial as the first American victiom of the Patriot Act, because she was actively trying to prevent the Iraq war. She now lives in northern Viginia, impoverished and “hand-to-mouth”, according to her own words
This six or seven page suicide note,
be interesting to read it,
probably the ex-soldier /parachutist /marksman named a few names?
Sherlock.
That’s not the same guy, he looks too old to be Jim Thompson & for my money too short. He’s not wearing glasses as the younger Thompson is.
I would hazard a guess that is Uncle Sheikhily.
Sensational find
!!!!!!!!!
SABAH AL SHAIKHLY WAS MARRIED BEFORE HE HAD AN ISSUE WITH MARY WEATHERLY IN THE USA.
Mary Weatherly is not the mother of Karim and Brooke al Shaikhly.
The mother of Karim and Brooke al Shaikhly is Iranian Deborah Gauss-Iran.
Deborah Gauss-Iran used several names.
She lived with Sabah al Shaikhly in North Carolina where they had issue and she gave birth to Karim and Brooke al Shaikhly.
Deborah used the following names:
Deborah al Shaikhly
Deborah Gauss-Iran
Deborah Gaussiran
Debbie S. Gaussiran
Deborah Spadoni
Debbie Gauss Spadoni
Deborah Rossworm
She lived with Elwyn A. Gaussiran and Mary W. Gaussiran in the same house of Sabah al Shaykhly.
Elwyn A. Gaussiran had this company:

This is the facebook site of Mrs. Al Shaikhly aka Gauss-Iran aka Spadoni aka Rossworm:
https://m.facebook.com/deborah.rossworm
What is that uniform she wears in her fb photo? Nurse? Stewardess? Military?
Please help finding more! That stinks!
We just debunked another DM lie.
Mary Weatherly is not the first wife of Sabah al Shaikhly and Karim and Brooke are NOT her genetic children.
tim
Yes. Definitely CIA for me. Remember: He’s a “former policeman”. God knows whether or not this is another lie.
What a promiscuous lot BB !
The hat that Deborah is wearing is a pillbox hat, very fashionable in the 60’s.
I’d say that’s a nurse. Have a look at this here:

… for the link above you have to scroll down- second last row – far right
I see Deborah posted that pic on Karim’s FB page 8 hours ago !
She is also centre page of Mary Weatheral’s.
And more revealing news
http://m.radaris.com/~Karim-Alshaikhly/120440661
The son of Sabah Al Shaikhly and Deborah Al Shaikhly Gaussiran aka Rossworm aka Spadoni aka Deborah Florence Rossworm is Karim Al Shaikhly.
Karim al Shaikhly has different addresses (see link). However, two addresses are nice ones:
1. Holloway Airforce Base
2. Alamogordo
Now then, his father Sabah, who moved to Alamogordo and who is a satellites and communications expert is certainly NOT “working” for the airforce. And as an Iraqi he certainly NEVER ever came under the radar of the CIA before at least his Iraqi/Iranian son started working for the airforce. And of course that radar screenung never revealed them the name Iqbal al Saffar whom he eventually introduced later to her American “husband” Jim.
Who does believe that the CIA didnt know anything at all about al Shaykhli’s American/Iranian relatives and friends wirh whom he shared the house?
But who dies believe that al Shaikhly was married to the CIA?
What’s your guess after having viwed these facts?
So Iqbal along with other prominent Shia’s are working in the US for the overthrow of Saddam, and it makes sense to concentrate on the confederate South and work with them first, if you want to change the attitude of the whole CIA — and indeed the whole US .
Of corse the really powerful player in US Middle East Policy — Israel — wanted the same, and for a while these two groups were allied in a common cause. But for anyone to cooperate in any way with the Israeli snake is risky business, because it can instantly turn against you [and the Shias] for instance if it wants to move against Iran. But Iqbal — and her husnabd Jim — knew of certain contracts from this time, which had become dangerous knowledge, and that is why they were liqiudated on the same day.
If Iqbal was never actually divorced from Thompson, her marriage to Saad would have been a bigamous one. This could have landed Iqbal in hot water in the UK, as bigamy is considered a crime. Moreover, it might have voided her UK citizenship and her right to stay in the UK. (It might also have rendered her children illegitimate, depending on whether or not Saad genuinely believed their marriage to be valid.)
In other words, this item of information would have constituted prime blackmail material. Thus, for me, the most interesting question is whether Sabah al Shaikhly (who knew of her marriage to Thompson, and who would have been able to establish whether or not she had divorced him) also knew of her later marriage to Saad. If so, there could be an interesting new angle to this case …

Confirmed
This is one of Jim Thompson’s former wives.
Jaquelin Thompson Dula (47)
Surprising: For some some she lived in the same house in Ashville as our now known “Deborah Al Shaikhly Gaussiran Rossworm Spadoni”. Now that is sirprising, isn’t it? They were staying in the same house in Ashville! Jim’s ex-wife and Al Shaikhly’s ex-wife were both “parked” in Ashville.

Message in March……………… ‘Nostalgia longing for loved ones’.
Sad.
Peter that would be true if they had a civil marriage rather than a Shia/Islamic marriage.
Have we proved which they did BB ?
The “Sun” photo looks to be a “Post Wedding” picture.
Although when blown up, there are no wedding rings on show.
Do people have “pre wedding” pictures ?
And she looks decidedly “nonplussed” by the “happening” (whatever that it may be).
@Peter. Interesting angle.
As yet we have no “marriage” documents. And no “divorce” documents either.
Is this just a “glitch” in the system ?
ALL reports (French police, family members, newspapers) say they were married.
I have to assume therefore this is true.
And what was Jim Thompson ?
Oil worker ? Handy man/contractor ? Air Force ? Policeman ? …..dentist ????
Once again we have very little to go on.
Seems to me (thus far) there’s some kind of “mail order bride” scheme going on.
Until around 2007, nearly everyone believed in ‘the official conspiricytheory’ of 9/11 and the 19 sunni Arbas who had hijacked four planes almost simultaniously at different airports, and managed to steer two of them at high speed into….secret computerrooms, which had been locked off for months. So great was the shock that we simply believed it out of hand without questioning. But at that time videos began to appear of WTC7, which also fell into its own footprints, almost at freefallspeed, and people began to wonder. First of all they wondered how this was possible since the latter was not hit by a plane like the two others. Next, they wondered what the chances were that three (3) steelframe buildings, which collapsed on this day could be the ONLY steelframe buildings in the history of mankind that could collapse due to fire. No steelframe buildings have collapsed due to fire either before or after that fateful date.
Around 2007, the Iraq war was also very much going south due to determined resistance from courageous Mujahedine fighters, thereby preventing any escalation to Iran, as the Architechs for war had originally planned. And Saad was beginning to hang out in chatrooms, where he got noticed by different intelligence services. In 2012 he was very actively engaging in preventing any further Israely inspired aggression aganst Iran, and perhaps he had also helped the Iranians directly with drone- or satelitte technology, which we should remember is perfectly legitimate. Britain, Germany and France are actively engaged in equipping China with all sorts of dual-use technology, to the dismay of the US, which may one day find itself engaged in a confrontation with these weapons. In the same way these countries have been very active in dealing with Iran, and as far as I know there has been no embargoes [at least until very recently] with Iran. But such embargoes is what Israel has lon sought, and more or less archived by now. Sp there can be no doubt about Israel’s view of Saads helping Iran acquiring technology – but they couldn’t do anything against this Brit [In Britain] but they could when he was [lured] to France.

Follow-up on arms and dual use technology sales to China
Here’s a very interesting article from Reuters, which shows how Germany are equipping Chinese subs with state of the art, silent diesel engines. But France takes the price when it comes to direct arms sales. It accounts for 2 billion EUROS out of the total EU dual use technology sale of 3 billion to China.
And here’s professor Stephen M. Walt’s take about what this means [about the chances of NATO’s willingness to help the US, if it one day finds itself in confrontation with China]

Just thinking loud
The “Gauss” Virus was released August 10 2012.
It was called “Gauss” by Kaspersky because in its code they found the spelling “Gauss Iran”.
That virus targetted Hezbollah and bank accounts in Lebanon.
Now I came across the name “Gaussiran” in regards to Al Shaikhly and i connect the dots with Saad and Iqbal and particularly that date august 2012. What if they knew about who created that virus? What if it were Iqbal and Saad?
Very good thinking, as always. But in the last sentence you seem toi suggest that the 2 Shias, Iqbal and Saad, should be engaged in sending malignant virus into Shia Iran? Is that rightly understood by me? If that’s what you meant, it doesn’t make sense, but if Israel did it, it makes all sorts of sense.
Good Thinking B*luebird, but could you please clarify the last sentence?
Good point Katie
12 Jul, 2014 – 7:22 am. Certainty can be as good an indicator as doubt. “Jim Thompson and his family never heard from her again and assumed that her brief presence in their lives was just because of her need for a Green Card, FBI agents, at the request of Interpol, have been probing whether there were other reasons for her stay in the U.S.”
In these circumstances would not a much more likely response have been, “What???? I have no idea but it would amaze if there was.”?
