Not Forgetting the al-Hillis 22278

 in Uncategorized by

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?

    Ferret…

    No, not suggesting that. Have a read (not all, it’s not that).
    I don’t really want to write anything down, but I am sure you’ll find something interesting.

    After all, these guys must have companies.

    Katie,
    That tactics wont work with iran as the opposition inside is too weak. They already tried and they also try to hurt iran with sanctions and financial tricks. However, building up a strong enough opposition in a short period of time will fail. It did not work in iraq with saddam either. They had to create a second war to remove saddam from power. We all know how shakespeare like the reasons for the second iraq war were constructed.

    AKA “Independent Military Consultants”

    Has anyone checked into the background of the any of the people who left RIP messages for SAH, maybe the ones whose messages got pulled?

  • Ferret

    @Bluebird

    I can see what you’re saying and perhaps you are right.

    Mind you, if you’d asked me if Syria had any serious opposition 6 months ago I would have laughed out loud, the idea was so preposterous.

    So… go figure. With financial assistance from the UK (for “non-military equipment only”, of course, ha ha) and others, who knows.

    And Mossad already managed to recruit hired assassins from within Iran, apparently, for money (alone) apparently.

    So… who knows?

    So… again, perhaps you are right, and I appreciate your line of reasoning.

    I still think a civilian false flag attack is unlikely. I’d be more persuaded of the likelihood of a military false flag attack, eg an “Iranian” missile striking a US warship etc etc.

    But yes, anything is possible, and I’ve no problems with your line of thinking. Can agree to disagree on this?

    A woman named Frédérique Brun was on that committee, but not the dead man Frédéric.

    @Katie
    Abdul Waheed is a common name. The Woking security firm of his is another weird operation.
    @Thomas
    I echo Ferret – what is your source?
    @Ferret
    The local supremo of Elekta AB is William Dean (Bill) Yaeger. (who also has some missing years recently) No visible Linkedin afaics. Strange that Yaeger made no public statement on the death of a former employee (confirmed by various FB postings. Perhaps Stedman et al were on a deflection exercise fingering SSTL.
    Yaeger has two directorships –
    NUCLETRON UK LIMITED
    ELEKTA LIMITED

    The former (both registered in Crawley) is a subsidiary of Dutch firm New Nucletron Co Bv , but company history goes a bit quiet after 2008
    {http://www.nucletron.com/en/about/CompanyHistory/Pages/default.aspx}
    but there is recent activity in the UK
    https://www.duedil.com/company/01711537/nucletron-uk-limited

    I think we should concentrate on the patently absurd fairy tale of BM, and his links in 55 Rutland Gate. He was most likely not there by chance. The Brossard house is most unlikely to be a holiday let.
    There is some web activity of Liam Nammock speaking at meetings of Close Protection groups, search Colonel Stuart Tootal

    @Felix

    Good find! Does Elekta have an operation in the USA? And could she be working for them there and be a singer in her spare time?

  • bluebird

    Lets face it: assumingly frederic brun is the frederic brun who is manufactoring director of nuclear company ALSTOM in Belfort.

    Witnesses saw a 4×4 pajero racing downhill from the scene. 2 weeks later they find an almost good looking undamaged pajero 4×4 in a forest near ugine. One person dead, who is apparently the manufactoring director of nuclear company ALSTOM that is part of areva. Was tgere another guy with sylvain waiting for cash and wss he able to escape from the scene when the shooting began?

  • Peter

    Age fits and mulhouse is not too far from ugine.

    Age doesn’t fit, Mulhouse is 364 Kms from Ugine, and the dead Frédéric’s gay partner lives in Ugine.

  • bluebird

    Peter. Age fits. Age 35. Ends school in 1997. Born approx. 1976-1978.

    Weekday job in belfort. Weekend in ugine. Many people are living like that.

  • bluebird

    And he is another metallurgic expert having worked at ArcelorMittal selling high added value steel in india some years ago.

    155 Co’s (154, no one appears to own the Baghdad Trading one).
    Two behind the headlines ones, that have made the headlines.
    Three mercenaries.
