Moscow Metro Blasts: Another FSB Inside Job? (http://www.infowars.com/moscow-metro-blasts-another-fsb-inside-job/)

Two separate bomb blasts that ripped apart trains on the Moscow Metro system, killing at least 34 people during morning rush-hour, have been blamed on female suicide bombers, but previous instances of terrorism in Russia were proven to be the work of the FSB security service itself.

“The first explosion took place on a train after it had stopped in the Lubyanka station in central Moscow, close to the headquarters of Russia’s FSB security service, a spokeswoman for the Russian emergencies ministry told AFP.”

“The first blast at the Lubyanka metro station killed 22 people and wounded 12. The second at Park Kulturi station left 12 dead and 7 wounded,” reported AFP (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100329/twl-dozens-dead-in-twin-blasts-on-moscow-d9fddae.html).

Russian Federal Security Service chief Alexander Bortnikov has already blamed Chechen rebels for the attack, an explanation slavishly accepted by western media outlets like the BBC who are already running feature articles (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8592689.stm) about the history of terrorism in Russia that completely fail to mention the FSB’s direct role in almost every major attack to have taken place over the last 10 years.

Since the explanation that two female suicide bombers with explosives strapped to their bodies were responsible for the bombing has come directly from the FSB, past history means we can only treat the official story with the utmost suspicion.

The notorious Russian FSB has a documented history of staging false flag events in order to accomplish political agendas.

Vladimir Putin came to power as a result of an FSB orchestrated reign of terror in the autumn of 1999 which involved blowing up apartment blocks all over Russia and blaming the attacks on Chechen separatists, allowing Putin to start a new war and secure victory in the presidential election.

FSB agents were caught planting Hexogen explosives underneath an apartment block in Ryazan. Records indicate that the first call the “terrorists” made after planting the bomb was to FSB headquarters and the culprits were allowed to flee the country by authorities.

The FSB admitted planting the sacks of explosives, but later claimed they contained sugar and were used as part of a drill to test security procedures. Authorities first stated that a terrorist attack had been averted and that the sacks did contain Hexogen, until FSB involvement was discovered at which point the story was changed.

Alexei Kartofelnikov, the first eyewitness to see the explosives and alert the police, went on the record to state that the substance was clearly not sugar, describing the material as looking more like rice and yellow in color – a clear match for the description of Hexogen.

The FSB had planted real explosives and were caught in the act of staging a false flag terror attack, forcing them to concoct an elaborate cover story while blocking any real investigation and silencing whistleblowers.

This instance and many more are documented in the excellent documentary film The Assassination of Russia, which you can watch in full below courtesy of Google Video.

"Assassination of Russia" False flag Govenment sponsored terrorism Russian style (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8712664469489507026)

Alexander Litvinenko, the former FSB agent who was later poisoned by radioactive polonium-210 in London, resulting in his death in November 2006, had exposed how the Russian FSB was involved in terrorism, abductions and contract killings in his 2002 book Blowing Up Russia: Terror From Within, co-authored with Yuri Felshtinsky.

The September 2004 Beslan hostage crisis, which led to the deaths of over 300 people including many children, another event blamed on Chechen terrorists, was also wrought with contradictions and red flags suggesting inside involvement.

A video that was finally released in 2007 showed that Russian security forces were likely responsible for the first blast during the event.



A video that remained secret for nearly three years after the horrific Beslan hostage crisis has cast new doubt on official conclusions about what led to the deaths of 334 people, more than half of them children, during one of Russia’s worst terrorist attacks, reported the Associated Press (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2007/310707_b_Beslan.htm).

The footage is far from definitive, but appears to lend credence to the theory that security forces bear at least some of the blame for the high death toll.


The footage depicts explosions taking place outside of the school buildings and contradicts the official explanation that militants were responsible for the initial blasts, while validating survivor’s accounts of what took place.

As our investigation at the time highlighted, many aspects of the Beslan siege provide stunning contradictions to the official story and clearly indicate that Russian forces had a hand in staging if not at least provocateuring the massacre.

- The Parliamentary Committee investigation uncovered the fact that high-ranking Russian military officers were involved in the plot (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2005/280105officershelped.htm) and acted as accomplices to the terrorists. These individuals were ranked “higher than a major and a colonel,” according to the Committee.

- A former policeman was also exposed (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2004/031104schoolsiege.htm) as being involved in the plot. Other police involvement was later confirmed (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2004/070904helpedterrorists.htm).

- The Parliamentary Commission also found evidence that a “foreign intelligence agency” was involved (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2004/281104russianssuggest.htm) in coordinating the massacre.

- Journalists who reported on the Beslan siege and uncovered evidence of inside involvement were later drugged and detained (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2004/100904journalistdrugged.htm) by Russian authorities as the cover-up swung into high gear.

- During the siege, Russian authorities refused to reveal what the terrorists’ demands were, blocking all phone communications and claiming a tape containing the terrorists’ demands was blank.

- The alleged Chechen terrorists did not even speak Chechen and received orders from abroad, according to reports (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2004/070904ordersfromabroad.htm).

The Beslan massacre occurred amidst a wave of terror attacks in Russia and shortly after the crashes of two Tupolev passenger airliners, which were blamed on Chechen terrorists by authorities. However, citing the fact that the aircraft debris was scattered over large areas, the independent Russian media accused Vladimir Putin of ordering the planes shot down in a crude false flag ploy to secure an election victory (http://www.guardian.co.uk/chechnya/Story/0,2763,1293568,00.html) for the pro-Kremlin Chechen President Alu Alkhanov two days later.

Chechen separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov denied any involvement (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2004/040904thirdforce.htm) in the plane crashes or the school siege, citing “a third force that brought Russian President Vladimir Putin to power” as being responsible for the carnage.

The manifestly provable history of Russian FSB officials staging terror attacks which are then blamed on their political enemies illustrates the fact that we would be foolish to immediately accept the government version of events for today’s deadly metro blasts in Moscow until more details can be confirmed by independent parties.

Two decades after the supposed collapse of communism, the Russian FSB and SVR continue the same deadly program of of the old KGB, as evidenced by the case of mole Robert Hanssen. By William F. Jasper


KGB/FSB: The “Game” Remains the Same (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/crime/1872-kgbfsb-the-game-remains-the-same)


William F. Jasper | The New American (http://www.thenewamerican.com/)
18 September 2009


As the Ford Taurus slowly approached the signal site, hidden FBI agents readied for a possible arrest. For weeks they had been staking out a path in Foxstone Park in Vienna, Virginia, outside Washington, D.C. Their elusive quarry was a Soviet mole in the FBI, codenamed “Ramon Garcia.”

Over the course of more than two decades, “Ramon” had done incalculable damage to the United States’ security, selling Top Secret information to the Soviet GRU (military intelligence) and KGB, and to the KGB’s Russian successor agency, the FSB, and its foreign arm, the SVR.

Would “Ramon” stop this time? More than a month earlier he had placed a piece of adhesive tape on the park’s signpost. He had been passing by the post frequently — often several times on the same day — to check for a response from the Russians. On January 23, 2001, an FBI agent had reported, “Target drove past Foxstone Park signal site shortly before six p.m. Came virtually to a stop, then drove away.” Three days later the agent reported that “Ramon” had driven by the post three times, about an hour apart, at 5:37 p.m., 6:42 p.m., and 7:44 p.m.

He was early today — almost two hours ahead of the time he had arranged with his Russian contacts. But this appeared to be the real thing. “Ramon” parked the Taurus and got out. He walked down the trail a couple hundred yards through the woods to a footbridge, one of his “dead drops.” He looked nervously about and then taped a package under the corner of the bridge. He was nearly back to his car when the command over a bullhorn brought him to a halt: “Freeze! Freeze exactly where you are! Do not move!”

Half a dozen FBI agents sprang from behind a blind and surrounded him. Two days after the arrest, at a February 20, 2001 press conference, FBI Director Louis J. Freeh announced that Soviet-Russian spy “Ramon” was actually one of the FBI’s top counterintelligence specialists, Robert Philip Hanssen.

According to Director Freeh, “Hanssen provided to the former Soviet Union and subsequently to Russia substantial volumes of highly classified information that he acquired during the course of his job responsibilities in counterintelligence. In return, he received large sums of money and other remuneration. The complaint alleges that he received over $600,000.” Freeh noted the “full extent of the damage done is yet unknown,” but characterized it as “exceptionally grave.”

Hanssen, charged the federal grand jury indictment, “did knowingly and unlawfully combine, confederate, and agree with other persons … including officers of the KGB/SVR, to knowingly and unlawfully communicate, deliver, and transmit to foreign governments, specifically the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and its successor, the Russian Federation … documents and information relating to the national defense of the United States,” with the knowledge that the same “would be used to the injury of the United States.”

“The information he is alleged to have provided,” said Freeh, “compromised numerous human sources, technical operations, counterintelligence techniques, sources and methods, and investigations.” There was blood on Hanssen’s hands. He had, said Freeh, “disclosed the identity of two KGB officials who … had been recruited by the U.S. Government.” Both of these agents, Freeh noted, were arrested, tried, and executed after they had returned to Russia. Subsequent reports indicate Hanssen may have been responsible for the deaths of two additional defectors.

Hanssen, Putin, and 9/11

The sensational capture of the top-level Soviet/Russian mole in one of our nation’s most sensitive intelligence posts, however, was largely forgotten a few months later when the far more sensational September 11 terrorist attacks captivated world attention. This was both ironic and tragic since the 9/11 attacks should have been viewed (and should be viewed now) in the context of — and in connection with — the enormous national security compromises revealed in the Hanssen espionage fiasco. All of the context and connections of the Hanssen-Russia-al-Qaeda-9/11 nexus are still not known, but the evidence and information available thus far indicates that the much-lamented intelligence failures that left America vulnerable on September 11, 2001 have been vastly compounded by even greater misdirection of our intelligence in the “War on Terror” ever since. We are referring specifically to the misdirection of our intelligence away from consideration of evidence that the 9/11 al-Qaeda attacks were a strategic operation sponsored by our new “ally,” Russia.

The policy “experts” who dominate our governing institutions, think tanks, universities, and major media were virtually unanimous in singing paeans of praise to Russian President Vladimir Putin for being the first world leader to express condolences and support during our tragedy. Even today, after several years of steady marching toward a renewed form of Stalinist-style, Soviet governance, the Putin-Medvedev regime in Moscow is viewed by much of our so-called intelligentsia as the indispensable partner in a global battle against radical Islam.

Dr. Michael A. McFaul of the Carnegie Endowment (and a frequent media go-to expert on Russia) is typical of the dominant mindset. He writes, on the Carnegie website:



On September 11th, Putin did not hesitate to call his new friend, George W. Bush, to communicate his full support for the United States and the American people. Putin did not let a decade of unfulfilled expectations in U.S.-Russian relations color his rhetorical response. While some leaders and people around the world believe that the United States “got what it deserved” on September 11th, Putin expressed sympathy as a leader of a country that also has suffered from acts of terrorism against civilians in the capital.

The following Monday, September 24th, Putin announced a five-point plan to support the American war against terrorism.


“The potential to build a new foundation for Russian-American relations is great,” McFaul says, and we must not allow this “window of opportunity” to be wasted. “Leaders in both countries must lead,” he insists. “They must act boldly, abandon business as usual, take chances, and use this moment to map the path to a new future.” (Dr. McFaul is now senior director for Russia on the Obama administration’s National Security Council.)

Notwithstanding the Kremlin’s increasingly tyrannical rule, many of our policy elites continue to share Dr. McFaul’s deadly illusions vis-à-vis Russia and the threat of global terrorism. More sober-minded realists would have viewed Putin’s 9/11 condolences and offers of support in much the same vein as they would the Mafia godfather who sends flowers to the funeral of the rival he’s just rubbed out and cries crocodile tears as he expresses condolences to the victim’s widow and children, assuring them that he will spare no effort to find who did the foul deed.

The PROMIS Connection

One of the important early bits of information that leaked out to link Hanssen, Putin, and 9/11 concerned references to Hanssen’s alleged delivery of copies of the FBI’s enhanced version of the controversial PROMIS computer software to the KGB/FSB. The Russians then, reportedly, provided a copy of the software to Osama bin Laden, thus facilitating al-Qaeda’s money laundering and other activities, as well as enabling al-Qaeda to monitor and evade U.S. law enforcement, intelligence, and military efforts to kill or capture them.

Developed in the 1980s by Inslaw, Inc. as a powerful case-management, people-tracking program for the U.S. Justice Department, the PROMIS (Prosecutors Management Information Systems) software has been the source of ongoing litigation and investigation. In 1985, Inslaw launched a suit against Justice, claiming that the Justice Department had defrauded it of millions of dollars in licensing and service fees. Inslaw charged, moreover, that the government had illegally converted PROMIS into a covert intelligence tool, which it sold to other governments, with a Trojan horse trap door, in order to spy on those governments.

In 2001, a number of stories — in the Washington Times, Washington Post, and Fox News — reported that PROMIS-derivative software provided to the Soviets by Hanssen had found its way to bin Laden. An October 16 Fox News report, for instance, provided this exchange between anchor Brit Hume and correspondent Carl Cameron:



HUME: There’s now a disturbing indication that Robert Hanssen, the FBI man accused of spying for the Russians in what officials said at the time of his arrest was a massive security breach, ended up helping Osama bin Laden.

As correspondent Carl Cameron reports, Hanssen sold the Russians an extremely sensitive piece of U.S. technology, and the indications are that they, in turn, sold it to bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist network. Carl.

CAMERON: Fox News has learned that government officials suspect Osama bin Laden may have highly sophisticated U.S. government software, that has been used by several governments, including the United States, for classified intelligence and law enforcement information.

Bin Laden allegedly purchased it from Russian sources, after Russia got it from convicted spy and former FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who was nabbed earlier this year....

The software program is called PROMIS. Sources tell Fox that U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies have used and constantly modified PROMIS software to manage caseloads, track and store classified information, and keep it secure for decades.

But the concern is that bin Laden or al-Qaeda could get online and use it to monitor the worldwide criminal investigation and hide themselves, to monitor the worldwide financial investigation and hide their money, or monitor government operations of the governments that use the software.

As a senior agent in the FBI’s counterterrorism bureau, sources say Hanssen was tasked with helping allies like Germany and England with the installation and use of their versions of the PROMIS program. Numerous countries now, however, are tightening their cyber security. Germany stopped using PROMIS software just last week. Great Britain began closing it down just a few months ago. Canada has actually investigated potential tampering with its PROMIS programs, and Israel has used it on and off for years, too.


In its case against Hanssen, the U.S. government did not mention PROMIS directly, but government sources say PROMIS-derived software programs were at the heart of the case. The lengthy FBI affidavit supporting the criminal complaint notes that Hanssen made extensive unauthorized use of the FBI’s Automated Case Support (ACS) system, reportedly a PROMIS derivative, to obtain information for the KGB/SVR and to monitor the FBI’s search for the Soviet mole (Hanssen) within the bureau. The affidavit does not explicitly say that Hanssen gave a copy of the ACS software to his Soviet/Russian co-conspirators, but it does say he gave them 26 computer diskettes and more than 6,000 pages of documents in the 27 letters and 33 packages he delivered to them over the years.

ComPROMISed Intelligence

Among the highly sensitive software programs that may have been included in those deliveries are the FBI’s Field Office Information Management Systems (FOIMS) and the Community On-Line Intelligence Systems (COINS), both, reportedly, PROMIS derivatives. In the aforementioned FBI affidavit, the government goes as far as saying Hanssen gave the KGB/SVR “an official technical document describing COINS-II,” which was, said the document, “the then-current version of the United States Intelligence Community’s ‘Community On-Line Intelligence System,’ which constituted a classified Community-wide intranet.”

It is not likely the government will confirm or refute the Hanssen-PROMIS-Russia-bin Laden thesis (or provide documents to publicly settle the matter) any time soon. However, quite apart from that important issue, the Hanssen case exposes the dangerous schizophrenia that exemplifies our relations with Russia, most especially as it relates to national security and terrorism.

The federal indictment of Robert Hanssen charges that the 25-year FBI veteran “did knowingly and unlawfully combine, confederate, and agree with other persons … including officers of the KGB/SVR, to knowingly and unlawfully communicate, deliver, and transmit to foreign governments, specifically the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and its successor, the Russian Federation … documents and information relating to the national defense of the United States,” with the knowledge that the same “would be used to the injury of the United States.”

“It was further a part of the conspiracy,” claims the indictment, “that the defendant HANSSEN’s espionage relationship with the USSR was converted into an espionage relationship with the Russian Federation after the USSR dissolved and the Russian Federation came into existence.”

Robert Hanssen began his betrayal of the United States by providing crucial American secrets to the Soviet GRU and KGB, which Vladimir Putin and much of the current crop of Russian leaders then worked for. Hanssen ended his treasonous career conspiring with the Russian FSB/SVR, which Putin and company now run and oversee. There is virtually no difference — other than cosmetic changes in labels and uniforms — between the KGB and FSB/SVR or between the Soviet and Russian leadership. There is continuity — of personnel, methods, and objectives — from one to the other.

The Hanssen case is far from being the only example of this KGB-to-FSB continuity. In 1996, five years before Hanssen’s arrest, FBI special agent Earl Edwin Pitts was arrested for selling secrets to the Soviet Union and Russia. In 1994, CIA counterintelligence agent Aldrich Hazen Ames was arrested for his ongoing espionage for the KGB and FSB/SVR. Ames’ nine-year career of betrayal resulted in devastating intelligence and national security losses for the United States. In June 2001, less than three months before 9/11, U.S. Army Colonel George Trofimoff, a military intelligence analyst, was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union and Russia over a 25-year period. These cases and others more than vindicate former CIA counterintelligence chief James J. Angleton and Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, who argued that overwhelming evidence indicated there were high-level moles within our intelligence community. They and their warnings were disparaged, discounted, and dismissed — with disastrous consequences for our nation. Unfortunately, Robert Hanssen was not the last mole; we can be virtually certain there are others.

Blindness and Betrayal

The KGB-FSB continuity does not extend merely to espionage; it also includes all of the traditional KGB activities: active measures, disinformation, propaganda, assassination — and terrorism. As The New American has demonstrated in a series of articles, the modern terrorism phenomenon, which was launched by the Soviet KGB in the 1960s and ’70s, is continuing today under the auspices of the Russian FSB (available soon at www.exposingterrorism.com). The main difference today is that the Kremlin strategists have determined that it will be far more effective — for many reasons — for them to run their terror operations as deniable assets under the banner of Islam.

There is another major difference; while Putin and the Russian Politburo continue to use terrorism as a form of asymmetric warfare against us, our leaders insist on pretending it isn’t happening. In fact, they insist Putin & Co. are our trusted “allies” against terrorism. The Obama administration is continuing the course set by George W. Bush in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. In a “Joint Declaration on a New Relationship Between the United States and Russia,” Presidents Bush and Putin said on May 24, 2002, that our countries had “embarked upon the path of new relations for the twenty-first century,” and are “committed to developing a relationship based on friendship, cooperation, common values, trust, openness, and predictability.”

They further declared:



We are achieving a new strategic relationship. The era in which the United States and Russia saw each other as an enemy or strategic threat has ended. We are partners and we will cooperate to advance stability, security, and economic integration, and to jointly counter global challenges and to help resolve regional conflicts.


Pardon me for puncturing the balloon, but it must be noted that we’ve been treated to this spectacle before. Few may recall that several years before he was faced with the unpleasant task of announcing traitor Robert Hannsen’s “exceptionally grave” betrayals to the KGB/FSB, Bill Clinton’s FBI Director Louis Freeh was singing the praises of the KGB/FSB claque running Russia. On July 4, 1994, Freeh was in Moscow opening the FBI’s first legal attaché office in Russia and joining Russian Interior Minister Viktor Yerin in signing a protocol for close cooperation between the FBI and FSB. “We can honestly say that our two nations have more in common than ever before.... We are united in purpose and in spirit,” declared Freeh. FSB boss Sergei Stepashin was even more jubilant. “Together, we’re invincible,” he effused. Clinton’s Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke was only slightly less giddy about the new relationship . “We are in a new phase of foreign policy,” he declared. “The FBI is moving to the forefront of this new foreign policy.” Mr. Holbrooke, a director and leading light at the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, is now a key adviser to the Obama administration and its point man on Afghanistan and Pakistan.

More on the Soviet connection with al-Qaeda:



Poisoned KGB defector exposed Russia's backing of al-Qaeda (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JZS/is_25_22/ai_n24997326/)


The New American (http://www.thenewamerican.com)
Dec 11, 2006


Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko is in critical condition at London's University College Hospital, where he is under police protection. Scotland Yard is investigating the case as a suspected "deliberate poisoning."

The BBC reported on November 20 that clinical toxicologist Dr. John Henry had said there was "no doubt" that the ex-spy had been poisoned by a potentially lethal dose of thallium. "It is tasteless, colorless, odorless. It takes about a gram--you know, a large pinch of salt like in your food--to kill you," Dr. Henry said.

Since escaping to England in 2000, Litvinenko has been a thorn in the side of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Litvinenko, a colonel in the FSB (the renamed Soviet KGB), has made a number of explosive claims. In his 2002 book, Blowing Up Russia: Terror From Within, he charged that the 1999 series of apartment bombings in Moscow and other Russian cities were the handiwork of Putin (a former KGB/FSB chief) and the FSB, not Chechen separatists, as Putin had claimed. Putin used the bombings, which killed over 300 and injured many more, to stir up outrage and public support for a second brutal war on Chechnya.

One of Litvinenko's most important accusations is his charge that Ayman al-Zawahiri, reportedly al-Qaeda's "Number 2" commander, second only to Osama bin Laden, had been trained by the Soviet KGB/FSB. "I was working in that section at the time," Litvinenko said in a 2005 interview in Poland, "and I can confirm the fact [that] Zawahiri was not the only link between the FSB and Al Qaeda."

Poisoned KGB Defector Exposed Russia's Backing of al-Qaeda (http://www.jbs.org/index.php/jbs-news-feed/584)

"Before he died Litvinenko, a former Russian state security service agent who became one of President Vladimir Putin's sharpest critics in the London-based Russian emigre community, accused Putin of ordering his death," noted Reuters.

Follow this link to the original source: "UK police head for Moscow in Litvinenko probe (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061204/wl_nm/britain_poisoning_russia_dc_2)"

After Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko's recent death, Reuters has reported that "British detectives [are] headed for Moscow as part of their investigation into the ex-KGB spy's death by poisoning."

Since escaping to England in 2000, Litvinenko was a thorn in the side of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Litvinenko, a colonel in the FSB (the renamed Soviet KGB), made a number of explosive claims. In his 2002 book, Blowing Up Russia: Terror From Within, he charged that the 1999 series of apartment bombings in Moscow and other Russian cities were the handiwork of Putin (a former KGB/FSB chief) and the FSB, not Chechen separatists, as Putin had claimed.

"I was working in that section at the time," Litvinenko said in a 2005 interview in Poland, "and I can confirm the fact [that] Zawahiri was not the only link between the FSB and Al Qaeda."

While it remains to be seen if the media and authorities will ever report the truth about who really ordered the hit on Litvinenko, we can be certain that the Establishment press will not utter a peep regarding the ties between al-Qaeda and our "ally" Russia in the ongoing war on terror.

==================================


From Wikipedia:

Alexander Litvinenko :: Alleged Russia-al-Qaeda connection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko#Alleged_Russia-al-Qaeda_connection)

In a July 2005 interview with the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, Litvinenko alleged that Ayman al-Zawahiri, a prominent leader of al-Qaeda, was trained for half of a year by the FSB in Dagestan in 1997 and called him "an old agent of the FSB"[39] (http://www.financialsense.com/stormwatch/geo/pastanalysis/2006/1120.html)[40] (http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/london/2005/07/318875.html) Litvinenko said that after this training, Ayman al-Zawahiri "was transferred to Afghanistan, where he had never been before and where, following the recommendation of his Lubyanka chiefs, he at once ... penetrated the milieu of bin Laden and soon became his assistant in al Qaeda."[41] (http://www.jrnyquist.com/nyquist_2005_0813.htm) Former KGB officer and writer Konstantin Preobrazhenskiy supported this claim and said that Litvinenko "was responsible for securing the secrecy of Al-Zawahiri's arrival in Russia, who was trained by FSB instructors in Dagestan, Northern Caucasus, in 1996-1997".[42] (http://cicentre.com/Documents/russia_islam_not_separate.html) He said: "At that time, Litvinenko was the Head of the Subdivision for Internationally Wanted Terrorists of the First Department of the Operative-Inquiry Directorate of the FSB Anti-Terrorist Department. He was ordered to undertake the delicate mission of securing Al-Zawahiri from unintentional disclosure by the Russian police. Though Al-Zawahiri had been brought to Russia by the FSB using a false passport, it was still possible for the police to learn about his arrival and report to Moscow for verification. Such a process could disclose Al-Zawahiri as an FSB collaborator. In order to prevent this, Litvinenko visited a group of the highly placed police officers to notify them in advance." According to FSB spokesman Sergei Ignatchenko, Ayman al-Zawahiri was arrested by Russian authorities in Dagestan in December 1996 and released in May 1997.[43] (http://web.archive.org/web/20051112201225/http://jamestown.org/publications_details.php?volume_id=411&issue_id=3228&article_id=2369243)

When asked in an interview who he thought the originator of the 2005 bombings in London was, Litvinenko responded saying[40] "You know, I have spoken about it earlier and I shall say now, that I know only one organization, which has made terrorism the main tool of solving of political problems. It is the Russian special services." On 1 September 2005, Al Qaeda members Ayman al-Zawahiri and Mohammad Sidique Khan claimed responsibility for the attacks on a video tape which aired on al-Jazeera.[44] (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4206800.stm)

Jan. 7, 2007

The story would be fit for a spy novel if it weren’t so implausible. A Russian ex- KGB agent turns against the Kremlin and flees Moscow. He continues his attacks from exile in London, until he is poisoned with a rare radioactive isotope and dies a slow painful death.

Blowing Up Russia contains the devastating attack of ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko against his former superiors. In association with academic Yuri Felshtinsky, he exposes how lethal KGB methods were used to catapult Vladimir Putin into power as one of the most popular Russian leaders ever to be elected. Banned in Russia, based on Litvinenko’s twenty years of insider knowledge of Russia’s secret campaigns, eloquently written, Blowing up Russia shows how the successors of the KGB were able to survive after being cut loose from communism. Returning to old-style terror and war, they claimed a ‘Russian way’ of government. Yuri Felshtinsky writes how he contacted Alexander Litvinenko asking for help investigating the Moscow apartment-block bombings in 1999. While they pursued their research, three people who assisted them in Russia were violently killed-two were shot, one was poisoned. (2007, 316pp, hb)

Moscow bombings: Putin vows to destroy group behind attacks
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/29/moscow-bombings-vladimir-putin



Russians were facing the prospect of a deadly new Chechen terror campaign tonight after two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow's packed metro during the morning rush hour, killing at least 38 people.

The bombers – apparently helped by two unidentified Russian women – boarded the metro early this morning. One blew herself up at Lubyanka metro station, a short walk from Red Square, at 7.56am. The second bomber set off an explosive belt at 8.37am at Park Kultury station.

The targets appeared to be have been carefully chosen to represent a symbolic attack on Russia's government. The first bomb went off opposite the headquarters of Russia's FSB anti-terrorism intelligence agency. Sources suggest the second bomb may have been intended for Oktyabrskaya station, next to Russia's interior ministry.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility tonight. But the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, said those responsible had links to the North Caucasus, the heavily Muslim region plagued by insurgency and where federal forces and their local proxies have been waging brutal counter-terrorist operations against suspected insurgents.

[Stary Hickory]

I don't go in for conspiracy stuff...but yeah those Apartment bombings were a FSB Job 100%. I don't know how Russians put up with that.

[sofia]

Birch Society BS. They just can't let the Cold War go can they?

The poisonings, apartment bombings, and this recent attack were the work of the old Zionist oligarchs that Putin put out of business. The Oligarchs are in league with CIA, US Zionists, Soros, Brezinski, and Mossad.

The plan is to destabilize Russia...especially now that an attack on Iran is imminent. The West wants to bog Russia down in a new caucus war while US and Israel attack Russia's trading partnet Iran.

As far as Russian "links to Al-Qaeda"...pure fantasy. First of all, there is no such group as "Al Qaeda."... Secondly, 9-11 was an inside job (Mossad/CIA/US Neo-cons)

60 minutes?????...lol....9 out of 10 times if u take what 60 Minutes says and just reverse it...you then get the truth.



Billionaire Zio-Oligrachs likely killed this dude to make Putin look bad. Oligarchs were evil sons-of-bitches who raped Russia under Yeltsin. They despise Putin.

Oligrachs bought up state indistries for a song...looted pensions....peddled child pornograpghy...kidnapped Russian women and sold them into slavery prostitution.

They are known to work with Soros and Mossad too.

Note that the book's co-author has a jewish name (Felshtinsky)...likely an Oligrach stooge..

Russian ex-spy dies in hospital; Victim of Poisoning (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/05/60minutes/main2333207.shtml)

BBC News
Jan. 7, 2007

Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian ex-spy who said he was the victim of a poisoning, has died in hospital.
...

Friends say the former KGB agent was poisoned three weeks ago because of his criticism of the Russian government. The Kremlin has denied any involvement.
...

Russian dissident Oleg Gordievsky, a former KGB colonel and friend of Mr Litvinenko, maintained that the poisoning had been the work of the Russians.

The Russian security service had "sent a man with a poisonous pill to Britain", put a pill into Mr Litvinenko's tea and killed him, he told BBC News.

Intelligence analyst Glenmore Trenear Harvey said Mr Litvinenko had "made a lot of enemies" when he had been tasked with fighting corruption during his time with the Federal Security Service (FSB) - the KGB's successor.

BBC?....60 Minutes?....Western Establishment organs....not always credible..

Who benefits from this guy's death?

Putin looks bad because of it. It was a P.R. nightmare for Russia when this guy died....It's too obvious.

Why are you so quick to rule out a collaboration of 2 or more of the following: the Oligarchs/Neo-Con/Soros/CIA/M-16/Mossad......all of whom have an axe to grind with Putin.

Will the Moscow Attacks Help Putin?

Why are you so quick to rule out a collaboration of 2 or more of the following: the Oligarchs/Neo-Con/Soros/CIA/M-16/Mossad......all of whom have an axe to grind with Putin.
I need to see some solid research on the subject before I make a decision.

[sofia]

I dont believe Putin is on board with the NWO gang. Yeltsin was a drunken stooge of the Globalists & Oligrachs. When Putin took over, he put the Oligarchs out of business and chased them off to either jail, London, or Israel.

He has called out Zbig Brezinski plans for "a unilateral World"...naming Zbig by name. Zbig and Soros hate Putin. (Soros OWNS the Georgian government)

I'm not necessesarily saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I dont live in Russia, nor do I speak or read Russian, nor do I personally know Putin......but I am intrigued by the fact that Soros, Zbig/Rockefeller, and the Neo-Cons all hate Putin so much.

One thing is for sure, Putin is not the NWO's bitch like Yeltisn and Gorby were...check out this piece: http://aftermathnews.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/obama-adviser-brzezinski-compares-putin-to-stalin-and-hitler/

Obama and Dmitry Medvedev seem to be getting along.

I think Medvedev is too soft.

He is a damn fool if he trusts Obama.

[Slutter McGee]

This may very well be an inside job. But do you guys realize that bad people exist who aren't in league with a government, NWO, CFR, Bilderbergs, or the Trilateral Commission?

I am fine with some of the conspiracy theory stuff, but this place is turning into infowars again. I would rather it not.

Come out of the basement guys. Get girlfriends. Get laid.


Alexander Litvinenko became a Whistleblower who exposed the KBG/FSB and as a result he was poisoned and died a slow gruesome death. This is NOT fantasy. Alexander Litvinenko died in order to get the information within "Blowing Up Russia The Secret Plot to Bring Back KGB Terror" to the public.

Your reply "Get laid" I find rude and it's a slap in the face to every Whistleblower in the world, especially the ones risking their life.
