Folks:

The July 17 (Monday) edition of The Times of London reported Indian Intelligence agents tracked terrorist funding for the Bombay train bombings to UK businesses.

According to Times staff writer Daniel McGrory, “Manmohan Singh, the Indian Prime Minister, raised the terror link with Tony Blair at the G8 summit in St Petersburg yesterday, reminding him that India handed over a detailed dossier three years ago identifying 14 men living in Britain and was assured the suspects would be investigated.” (See the rest of the article here: www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,170-2273287,00.htm)

Inexplicably, Downing Street has done nothing with the information. Apparently, British “homeland security” is on par with that of the United states.

McGrory’s remarkable disclosure of UK-abeted terrorism brought to mind a similar revelation by US investigative journalist and documentary videographer Daniel Hopsicker. A former producer for NBC News, Hopsicker has assembled a library of eye-popping but little-known evidence left behind in the “pirate’s paradise” of Florida by 9/11 al-Qaeda hijackers. If you haven’t experienced Hopsicker’s cutting-edge reportage (and sense of humor), check out his his website at www.madcowprod.com.

Hopsicker’s latest book,”Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta and the 9/11 Cover-up in Florida”, cites, among other 9/11 anomalties, email exchanges between Atta, the alleged ringleader of the hijackers, and employees of US defense contractors. (Although Hopsicker has posted some of those emails at www.madcowprod.com/appendix/appendix2.htm, they will no longer enlarge on the webpage and are now difficult to read.)

Hopsicker also broke a 2003 story revealing Atta worked for an elite US-German student exchange program during four years in the 1990s when Atta attended university in Germany. According to Hopsicker, “The jointly-funded government effort picked up the tab for Atta on sojourns in Cairo, Istanbul, and Aleppo in Syria during the years 1994 and 1995 and employing him as a ‘tutor’ and ‘seminar participant’ during 1996 and 1997.” www.rense.com/general37/ATA.HTM

Don’t forget Able Danger, a now-defunct Department of Defense data mining program that tracked al-Qaeda suspects, turned up Atta’s name 13 times from 2000 up until September 11. But Donald Rumsfeld determined sharing such privileged information with the FBI or CIA. was taboo. www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=\Nation\archive\200602\NAT20060215d.html)

Two 9/11 investigations failed to uncover any of Hopsicker’s remarkable coincidences uncovered in Florida. The White House still owes the American public an overdue explanation. Perhaps the British will be more successful in pressuring Downing Street for reasons why officials apparently aren’t interested in ending UK funding supporting deadly terrorist attacks in India.
