転送、転載、引用、訳出、大歓迎！
またまた、新、いや「旧」情報発見！
昨日、アメリカの歴史見直し論者、ブラッドレイ教授が主宰し、学生が協力するCODOH電網宝庫に、以下に英文のまま紹介する記事へのリンクが貼ってあった。
1998年8月13日、すなわち、今から3年4月ほど前に発表されていた署名記事である。主旨は、私も当時、この電網宝庫の中のどこかに記した覚えがある疑惑、「ケニアとタンザニアのアメリカ大使館爆破」事件への「モサド関与説」である。
この事件の「主犯」も、アメリカ当局発表では「鬢ちゃん」とされてきたが、まるで話が違う。根拠となる証拠物件にはアメリカの大手新聞記事も引かれている。
主要な点のみを記すと、やはり、この時にも事前警告が発せられていた。事件当時の怪しい動きの中では、大使館警備関係者の姿すらも目撃されている。
なお、この記事が発表されている電網宝庫は、以下のように、日本では通常、「第4インターナショナル」、または悪口として「4トロ」、発音で示すと「ヨントロ」と呼ばれる国際組織である。「ヨン」には、関西で部落民差別の用語として動物を意味する「四つ足」を示唆するものとして嫌われている。
関西では、自分達に反対する左翼諸流派を「トロッキスト」とか「トロ」と排撃する日本共産党の攻撃の仕方が、東京周辺よりも激しい。相手を「トロ」と罵るのは自分が「スターリニスト官僚」であることを認めるような愚行なのであるが、どちらも「しょもない」のである。
一応の第三者見解として平凡社『世界大百科事典』の説明を一部紹介して置くが、スターリンなどは下の下、トロッキーは、レーニンとも激しい論争を重ねながらも革命当時の「外務人民委員」「軍事委員」「赤軍の創設・強化に尽力」「高い知性に強い決断力」、しかし、「官僚的な日常生活への適応力は弱かった」「国外追放」「スターリンの憎しみは深く、1940年8月20日、その手先によって自宅書斎で暗殺された」。
ともあれ、私は、これらの「しょもない」連中の言辞も、もっと「しょもない」読売新聞と同様に平等に扱い、情報源として処遇することにしているから、誤解なきよう願いたい。

http://www.wsws.org/news/1998/aug1998/bomb-a13.shtmlQuestions mount in Kenya, Tanzania bombings
US government, Israeli intelligence had advance warningBy Martin McLaughlin
13 August 1998The search for survivors of the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya ended officially at 10 a.m. local time Wednesday, with the death toll set at 247, and 5,436 injured. Another 10 people died and 70 were injured in the simultaneous bombing of the US embassy in Dar es-Salaam, in neighboring Tanzania, bringing the combined death toll to 257. The gruesome task of fully excavating the blast site and recovering the remaining bodies continues.
At least three Kenyan employees of the embassy are still missing, along with an unknown but likely much larger number of victims in the rubble of the Ufundi House, next door to the embassy. Several hundred FBI and American police bomb site investigators have flooded Nairobi, cordoning off the area around the embassy and beginning efforts to determine the type of explosive used in the huge blast, as well as identifying the vehicle, believed to be a pickup truck, which delivered it.
An official report on the techniques used in the explosion is not expected for many months. What information has been made public in the international press, however, raises disturbing questions about the circumstances leading up to the bombing and the role of US and Israeli intelligence agencies.
Several US and Israeli sources, including ABC News and the Tel Aviv newspaper Ha'aretz, reported Wednesday that a US informant in Kenya had warned the American government two weeks before the blast that the Nairobi embassy had been targeted for a bomb attack.
The informant was a contact of Israel's Mossad intelligence service, but when American officials checked with Mossad about the reliability of the source, they were advised to treat the report with skepticism. No special security measures were taken at the embassy.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to comment on the Ha'aretz article. But the Israeli government's dismissal of this advance warning may account for its extraordinary effort to supply bomb experts and rescue teams in the wake of the bombing, for reasons which have not otherwise been explained.
A second warning was provided four days before the explosion, according the Nation, the English-language daily newspaper published in Nairobi.
A security guard working near the Nairobi embassy saw a man videotaping the building, protected by two bodyguards. When the cameraman saw he had been observed, he and his escorts jumped into a car and sped away.
The security guard reported the incident to guards at the embassy, who seemed uninterested. Even though, according to ABC News, all American facilities in the Middle East and South Asia had been put on security alert against a threatened terrorist attack, no special security measures were ordered in East Africa even after the second report.
Most accounts of the bombing in the American press have named a Saudi exile, Osama bin Laden, as the most likely suspect. Bin Laden, a construction multi-millionaire, is an Islamic fundamentalist opposed to the US military presence in Saudi Arabia during and since the 1991 Persian Gulf war.
He fled Saudi Arabia in 1994 and reportedly now lives in Afghanistan. But according to several of the reports, bin Laden was associated with the CIA-backed mujahedin guerrillas during their war against the Soviet military occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s.
Among these were the CIA-trained terrorists who later were convicted in the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. The attitude of American officials to the investigations by Kenyan and Tanzanian police is also curious.
After Tanzanian officials arrested several dozen people in Dar es-Salaam, the State Department belittled the action as little more than a roundup of "the usual suspects."
The announcement by Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi that an unspecified number of suspects had been arrested in Nairobi was also dismissed as unlikely to represent an advance in the investigation.
The New York Times reported claims of some eyewitnesses in Nairobi that the truck used in the embassy bombing had American diplomatic license plates.
Another eyewitness claimed that the man who leaped from the truck and threw a hand grenade just before the bomb blast was wearing a blue uniform identical to that worn by embassy guards.
Even more striking is a report carried in the Washington Post Wednesday, based on a leak from the CIA in which the agency claimed to have foiled two recent attempts to bomb American embassies in the Middle East.
The Post article quotes Robert Oakley, the former State Department coordinator for counterterrorism, on the US efforts to infiltrate terrorist groups targeting American facilities. According to the Post:
"He recalled an episode in the mid-1980s when U.S. intelligence recruited a terrorist who had been assigned to bomb an American embassy in Europe. The putative bomber, Oakley said, was allowed to detonate a bomb inside the embassy compound in such a way that little damage was done, far removed from US personnel, so that his relationship with US intelligence was not exposed."
Taken together, these reports raise the possibility that the horrific loss of life in Nairobi and Dar es-Salaam may be linked, directly or indirectly, to covert operations by US intelligence agencies, in which individuals with past CIA connections but present grievances against the US government, such as the former Afghan mujahedin, were involved. Such questions are not even considered in the American media discussion of the East African bombings, in which major newspapers and television networks are vying to supply one or another Middle East nation as a potential target for US military retaliation.
The New York Times suggested Libya as a target in its Wednesday news pages, while an editorial vilified Iraq. The Washington Post added Syria and Islamic fundamentalist groups based in Yemen and Egypt to the list.
The Wall Street Journal published a column the same day denouncing the Clinton administration for ignoring evidence that Iran was behind blasts, and declaring the attack on the embassies "an act of war."
The Journal cited US bombing raids on Libya in 1986, ordered by Ronald Reagan, as an example for Clinton.
Another column in the Journal, by its Washington correspondent, revealed that the Pentagon changed the composition of US forces in the Persian Gulf region after last February's confrontation with Saddam Hussein, so that a protracted buildup would not be required before launching air strikes against targets in Iraq. Such attacks could be launched against Iraq--or any other target in region--literally overnight.
