September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

ather influential figure in the Wahhabi circles of Turkey, the Middle East, and the Caucasus. From
sources in the Russian special services we learned that Mekhmet is also a close friend of the not
unknown Khattab.”
“The second person,” the account goes on, “to the surprise of the intelligence officers, was the
Chechen field commander Shamil’ Basaev.” [“Storm in Moscow”: A Plan of the Yeltsin “Family” to
Destabilize Russia , John B. Dunlop , The Hoover Institution , October 8, 2004 ]
Yakov Kosman would also be identified as part of the Russian/Israeli Mafiya.
“Yakov Abramovich Kosman (b. 1946), resides in Nice, France. Has German and, possibly, Israeli
citizenship. Involved in real estate operations and banking. Has contacts with Kosovo Albanian
criminal societies in European countries. In 1997-2000 he served as financial consultant to Hashim
Thaçi, the chief commander of KLA. The new president of Far West, Ltd.” [The Global Drug Meta-
Group: Drugs, Managed Violence, and the Russian 9/11, Peter Dale Scott (18,734 words) October 29,
2005]
Also, one needs to understand that one of Farwest’s key partners who arranged the
Khashoggi villa meeting of June 199 – Anton Surikov – was an apparent American agent
in the Soviet Union, and it was Surikov that mentored Basayev, who had received his
initial training in CIA sponsored camps in Afghanistan. As noted earlier in this report,
Surikov is also a protege of KGB leaders Alexie Kondaurov and Fillipp Bobkov, who
sponsored Khordokovsky in his early days. Surikov’s other employer (IPROG) is funded
by grants from Khordokovsky. (Surikov’s involvement in Farwest may help explain how
Halliburton received – according to the Halliburton spokesperson – CIA clearance to use
Farwest as a recruiter in Central Asia and Africa.)
“Anton Surikov is well-known person…. I’ve known him since Afghanistan. … I think Anton went
over to the Americans already back then…. He has a distant relative in the United States who,
basically, held very high post in the CIA and was in Peshawar in the 1980s. Anton always kept this
fact in secret, back in the Soviet time and later on. After all, he occupied very high positions in the
Department, in the government and in the Duma. Just imagine, he worked in all these high-level jobs
and nobody cared! As a matter of fact, our bosses used his connections as the informal channel of
communication with the Americans. That’s why Anton could have his way. And later on it was Anton
who groomed Basayev in Abkhazia as early as in 1992. Everyone knows about this. Even nowadays,
last summer he called Basayev on the satellite phone in my presence. He sounded very friendly:
“Shamil, dear brother, I hug you…” [Revelations of the Fugitive Kremlin Financier, recorded Vadim
Andreev, Translation and comments by burtsev.ru, January 19, 2004]
Basayev’s Muslim separatists later would be accused in the world press of the Moscow
Dubrovka theater tragedy in November 2002, and the September 2004 Beslan school
attack in which hundreds of children died. Despite the charges, there would be widespread
reports in the independent press, and a documentary, based on eye-witness
testimony, that these attacks were actually orchestrated by Russian secret police for the
intent of fanning the flames of Russian nationalism, to the political benefit of the Yeltsin
Family. These witnesses were arrested and held until they recanted their testimony. What
is intriguing about these events, like the World Trade Center tragedy, is that American
intelligence, in the U.S. and Russia, created Muslim terrorists, made them the “public
enemy” and then blamed them for events which served their personal, political interests.
