WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Bin Laden linked to Russia
Report: Bin Laden Linked to Russia

ST. PETERSBURG TIMES
U.S. intelligence agencies have uncovered information that Russian criminal
groups have been supplying Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terrorist group
with components for chemical, biological and even nuclear weapons, The
Washington Times reported. The Foreign Ministry called the report an attempt
to undermine relations between the United States and Russia at a time of
increased cooperation.
The Washington Times, citing U.S. officials speaking on condition of
anonymity, reported last Wednesday that bin Laden is believed by U.S.
intelligence to have a secret nuclear-weapons laboratory inside Afghanistan.
This is believed to be one of the sites sought for U.S. military strikes, the
newspaper said.
There is no hard evidence that bin Laden or his followers have actually
produced chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. But bin Laden has worked
with Russian mafia groups in obtaining components for weapons of mass
destruction, according to officials familiar with the intelligence reports.
The U.S. State Department’s latest report on international terrorism says
that al-Qaeda continued to seek chemical, biological, radiological and
nuclear capabilities, the newspaper said.
Intelligence officials say al-Qaeda is probably trying to produce the nerve
agent Sarin or biological weapons made up of anthrax spores.
A former State Department counter terrorism official, Larry Johnson, said the
contacts between the Russian mafia and bin Laden could be related to drug
trafficking and that such cooperation would not be surprising, the newspaper
said.
The Foreign Ministry said the new report raises a question: (96)`(96)`Why should such
information be splashed out on newspaper pages instead of discussing it
through the channels existing between our countries, including confidential
ones?’
‘One may get the impression that some in the United States oppose the
positive tendency in Russian-American relations that has made itself felt
recently,’ the ministry said in a statement carried by Interfax.
