Hariri Assassination By Suicide Truck Bomb ¶ Mitsubishi Stolen in Japan

Appreciate a little support @dKos!
Thanks.

In cooperation with the United Nations, Interpol has sent three experts, including an analyst, to work with the investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Premier Rafiq Hariri¹ in February, the Interpol chief Noble said.

The police organization is also helping track down the Mitsubishi truck that was stolen [from a parking lot in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, in Japan on Oct. 12 last year – Oui] and filled with explosives used in the murder. Tokyo failed to notify Interpol of the vehicle theft, said Noble calling the failure “an opportunity lost to possibly disrupt that attack”.

“We submit that had that data been entered into the Interpol data base and had the Lebanese border control checked the data base as they frequently do, maybe that truck would have been prevented from getting into Lebanon,” he added.

My prediction: Mitsubishi truck entered Syria through Iraq and traveled on to Beirut. UN investigation should look at possible Mossad involvement.

Rafiq Hariri¹ Dossier – July 2001

When Lebanon’s billionaire prime minister travels around Beirut, everyone takes notice. His limousine is equipped with a device designed to thwart would be car bombers by deactivating nearby cell phones, leaving a continuous trail of irritated bystanders in its wake. Whenever he leaves his residence, three decoy motorcades roam the streets to confuse would be assassins.

Most Lebanese feel a peculiar sense of pride toward Rafiq Hariri, though many will not readily admit it. In a country where political power has been thoroughly monopolized by outsiders, economic power commands a great deal of grudging respect and admiration. That Hariri is not a member of the traditional political elite and built his financial empire from scratch makes his ostentatious displays of wealth even more captivating.

However, the prime minister is also regarded by many as having sold the country to Syria and destroyed its economy during the course of his life-long drive to enter the ranks of Lebanon’s political establishment.

The militant Hezbollah group paraded its guerrilla army in Beirut in a massive show of strength to counter international calls to disarm, while its fiery leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah backed beleaguered Syria in the face of intense pressure over the U.N. probe into the assassination of a Lebanese former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.

Propaganda and War of Words Between Israel and Iran on Explosives?

Iran propagates deadly roadside bombs in Basra and Iraq are laser detonated Israeli Bombs.

The Iranian exile groups and Mojahedin-e-Khalq terror group in opposition to Iran with support from U.S. and U.K. propagate in early stage, the existence in Iraq of infra red electronic devices for precision detonation of deadly bombs delivered from Hizbollah through facilitation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, supported by new elected President Ahmadinejad.

See also the U.S. propaganda trying to smear Ahmadinejad as the leader of the Revoltutionary Guard who held the U.S. Embassy personnel hostage in Tehran for 444 days in 1979 during Carter’s presidency.

I find it most interesting what bomb making electronics were in the possession of the two SAS agents upon their arrest in Basra.

Insight In Mossad Operations ::
Countering Terrorism: The Israeli Response to the 1972 Munich Olympic Massacre
and the Development of Independent Covert Action Teams
by Alexander B. Calahan  GS-12 Graduate Class
Master of Military Studies – April 1995

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Thesis:
The purpose of this study is to examine the methodology of the covert action teams authorized by Prime Minister Golda Meir to find and assassinate those individuals responsible for the attack on the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic games in September 1972. Specifically, the study addresses whether the operational and tactical methods utilized in this counterterrorist effort were successful relative to the original operational objectives.

OUI’s OBSERVATIONS
Interesting – Harari provided the team with only two principle rules of engagement prior to their deployment.

… The second principle was for the team to act with zero collateral risk. Harari made it clear that the unit was to ensure one hundred percent identification of the target before acting.

Using the Baader Meinhof Group by providing assets – the victims of terror in Germany will appreciate the Israeli funding of terror! This gang and the RAF were a scourge for Western Europe for more than a decade. With higher stakes involved, what are the Israelis up to and how far will they go? The Gaza bombing of an appartment building killing sixteen innocent Palestinians is an indication of permissable war crimes!

Also was Ali Hassan Salameh a CIA agent infiltrated within Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement?

Binyamin Netanyahu’s Statement:
“I do not believe a sovereign Palestinian state is an historic imperative, any more than the triumph of socialism – which the same leftist parties once touted as inexorable – was preordained. Nor do I think that Israel can achieve peace only by making egregious unilateral concessions.”

Sharon’s policy – architect of settlements on Palestinian land – agreement with GWB: exit from Gaza, keep parts of the West Bank.
