Le Figaro sreiv i går at Ossama skal ha fått besøk frå CIA under et
sjukehusopphald i Dubai i Juli i år:
"While he was hospitalised, bin Laden received visits from many members
of his family as well as prominent Saudis and Emiratis. During the hospital
stay, the local CIA agent, known to many in Dubai, was seen taking the
main elevator of the hospital to go to bin Laden's hospital room."
Saudi Arabia og bin Ladens familie, som offisielt har brote alle band til
Ossama (akkurat som CIA), har nære finansielle band til Bush-dynastiet.
Forøvrig vart dei amerikanske ambassadene i Aust Afrika sprengde med
militært sprengstoff frå USA, levert til arabiske CIA-islamistar i 1995:
Contacts between the CIA and bin Laden began in 1979 when, as a
representative of his family's business, bin Laden began recruiting
volunteers for the Afghan resistance against the Red Army. FBI
investigators examining the embassy bombing sites in Nairobi and Dar es
Salaam discovered that evidence led to military explosives from the US
Army, and that these explosives had been delivered three years earlier to
Afghan Arabs, the infamous international volunteer brigades involved side
by side with bin Laden during the Afghan war against the Red Army.
In the pursuit of its investigations, the FBI discovered "financing
agreements" that the CIA had been developing with its "arab friends" for
years. The Dubai meeting is then within the logic of "a certain American
policy".

========================= CIA AGENT ALLEGEDLY
MET BIN LADEN IN JULY
From 'Le Figaro' [1 November 2001]
Translated by Tiphaine Dickson
=========================

(Page 2, October 31st, 2001)
Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the Federation of the United Arab
Emirates, North-East of Abi-Dhabi. This city, population 350,000, was the
backdrop of a secret meeting between Osama bin Laden and the local
CIA agent in July. A partner of the administration of the American Hospital
in Dubai claims that public enemy number one stayed at this hospital
between the 4th and 14th of July.
Having taken off from the Quetta airport in Pakistan, bin Laden was
transferred to the hospital upon his arrival at Dubai airport. He was
accompanied by his personal physician and faithful lieutenant, who could be
Ayman al-Zawahari--but on this sources are not entirely certain--, four
bodyguards, as well as a male Algerian nurse, and admitted to the
American Hospital, a glass and marble building situated between the
Al-Garhoud and Al-Maktoum bridges.
Each floor of the hospital has two "VIP" suites and fifteen rooms. The
Saudi billionnaire was admitted to the well-respected urology department
run by Teerry Callaway, gallstone and infertility specialist. Dr Callaway
declined to respond to our questions despite several phone calls.
As early as March, 2000, 'Asia Week,' published in Hong Kong,
expressed concern for bin Laden's health, describing a serious medical
problem that could put his life in danger because of "a kidney infection that
is propagating itself to the liver and requires specialized treatment".
According to authorized sources, bin Laden had mobile dialysis equipment
shipped to his hideout in Kandahar in the first part of 2000. According to
our sources, bin Laden's "travels for health reasons" have taken place
before. Between 1996 and 1998, bin Laden made several trips to Dubai
on business.
On September 27th, 15 days after the World Trade Center attacks, at the
request of the United States, the Central Bank of the Arab Emirates
announced an order to freeze assts and investments of 26 people or
organisations suspected of mainting contact with bin Laden's organization,
and in particular at the Dubai Islamic Bank.
"Relations between the Emirate and Saudi Arabia have always been very
close," according to sources, "princes of reigning families, having
recognized the Taliban regime, often travelled to Afghanistan. One of the
princes of a ruling family regularily went hunting on the land of bin Laden,
whom he had known and visited for many years."
There are daily flights between Dubai and Quetta by both Pakistan and
Emirates Airlines. As to private planes from Saudi Arabia or from the
Emirates, they regulariy fly to Quetta, where their arrival is rarely
registered
in airport logs.
While he was hospitalised, bin Laden received visits from many members
of his family as well as prominent Saudis and Emiratis. During the hospital
stay, the local CIA agent, known to many in Dubai, was seen taking the
main elevator of the hospital to go to bin Laden's hospital room.
A few days later, the CIA man bragged to a few friends about having
visited bin Laden. Authorised sources say that on July 15th, the day after
bin Laden returned to Quetta, the CIA agent was called back to
headquarters.
In late July, Emirates customs agents arrested Franco-Algerian activist
Djamel Beghal at the Dubai airport. In early August, French and American
authorities were advised of the arrest. Interrogated by local authorities in
Abu Dhabi, Beghal stated that he was called to Afghanistan in late 2000 by
Abou Zoubeida, a military leader of bin Laden's organization, Al Qaeda.
Beghal's mission: bomb the US embassy on Gabriel avenue, near the Place
de la Concorde, upon his return to France.
According to Arab diplomatic sources as well as French intelligence, very
specific information was transmitted to the CIA with respect to terrorist
attacks against American interests around the world, including on US soil.
A DST report dated 7 September enumerates all the intelligence, and
specifies that the order to attack was to come from Afghanistan.
In August, at the US Embassy in Paris, an emergency meeting was called
between the DGSE (French foreign intelligence service) and senior US
intelligence officials. The Americans were extremely worried, and
requested very specific information from the French about Algerian
activists, without advising their counterparts about the reasons for their
requests. To the question "what do you fear in the coming days?", the
Americans kept a difficult-to-fathom silence.
Contacts between the CIA and bin Laden began in 1979 when, as a
representative of his family's business, bin Laden began recruiting
volunteers for the Afghan resistance against the Red Army. FBI
investigators examining the embassy bombing sites in Nairobi and Dar es
Salaam discovered that evidence led to military explosives from the US
Army, and that these explosives had been delivered threee years earlier to
Afghan Arabs, the infamous international volunteer brigades involved side
by side with bin Laden during the Afghan war against the Red Army.
In the pursuit of its investigations, the FBI discovered "financing
agreements" that the CIA had been developing with its "arab friends" for
years. The Dubai meeting is then within the logic of "a certain American
policy".
