Today, 24 March 2011, ... the target of bombing is a barracks of the Libyan army, around which are densely populated residential areas, and next to it – the largest of Libya’s Heart Centers.
Bombs and rockets struck residential houses....
In the maternity ward ... a wall collapsed and part of the roof.
This resulted in ten miscarriages whereby babies died; the women are in intensive care; doctors are fighting for the women's lives...
We and our colleagues are working seven days a week, to save people.
This is a direct consequence of bombs and missiles falling in residential buildings resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries...
The large number of wounded and killed, as happened today, is very much greater than anything that happened during the riots in Libya...
The United States and its allies are thus carrying out genocide against the Libyan people – as was the case in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
After an abortive coup attempt in late February, the situation calmed down in Libya and the government had successfully restored order.
To everyone in Libya, it was clear that without American intervention the country would soon return to normal life.
Libyans ... are entitled to free treatment, and their hospitals provide the best medical equipment in the world.
Education in Libya is free...
When marrying, young couples receive about 50,000 U.S. dollars...
Cars ... are affordable for every family. ...
In February, the peaceful life of the people was violated by gangs of criminals and insane drugged youth – whom the Western media for some reason called “peaceful demonstrators”...
We understand that when all the foreigners leave and no one will tell the truth (the small staff of diplomatic missions have long been silenced), the Americans will arrange here a bloodbath.
1. The Mediterranean Sea is the main battle front in the world.
2. The Mediterranean is to be part of the the US empire.
3. Almost all the Mediterranean nations are tied to NATO and the US military. The exceptions are Syria, Lebanon and Libya.
(Cyprus is not in NATO but has military bases of use to the US and its allies.)
4.Libya is also one of only five of Africas countries that have not been integrated into the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM).
The others are: Sudan, which is being balkanized.
Ivory Coast, now under the threat of foreign military intervention, linked to AFRICOM.
Eritrea, where 5,000 U.S. and French troops are based.
Zimbabwe.
5. Lin Zhiyuan, deputy director of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences:
"By building a dozen forward bases or establishments in Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and other African nations, the U.S. will gradually establish a network of military bases to cover the entire continent and make essential preparations for docking an aircraft carrier fleet in the region.
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with the U.S. at the head had [in 2006] carried out a large-scale military exercise in Cape Verde, a western African island nation, with the sole purpose of controlling the sea and air corridors of crude oil extracting zones and monitoring how the situation is with oil pipelines operating there.
"[A]frica Command represents a vital, crucial link for the US adjustment of its global military deployment. At present, it is moving the gravity of its forces in Europe eastward and opening new bases in Eastern Europe.
"The present US global military redeployment centers mainly on an ‘arc of instability’ from the Caucasus, Central and Southern Asia down to the Korean Peninsula, and so the African continent is taken as a strong point to prop up the US global strategy.
"Therefore, AFRICOM facilitates the United States advancing on the African continent, taking control of the Eurasian continent and proceeding to take the helm of the entire globe."
Tunisia: the new Iraq. George W. Bush talked about 'democracy' taking hold in Iraq and then the region.
On 19 January 2011, the Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal is reported as saying that he is "very concerned about the way things are developing in Tunisia."
"President Obama has welcomed the changes in Tunisia...
"The discontent in Tunisia will only increase. Tourism has been for Tunisia what oil is for its neighbours. The mass evacuation of Western holidaymakers is a warning of further economic troubles to come..."
1. The people have to forge a coalition of socialists, Islamists and liberals for real change.
2. "The sense of despair and profound humiliation Arabs felt with the toppling of Saddam's tyrannical regime by the US contrasts sharply with their euphoria at the ousting of Tunisia's dictator."
3. In Tunisia, "the apparatus of repression laid down by Habib Bourguiba, Tunisia's charismatic 'founding father', was fine-tuned by the general who inherited it."
4. The task now facing the Tunisian people - is to build a wide coalition of the forces that can dismantle the legacy of the despotic post-colonial state.
This has been the driving force for the alliance being forged between the Communist Workers' Party, led by Hamma al-Hammami, the charismatic Moncef al-Marzouqi's Congress Party for the Republic, and (Islamist) Ennahda, led by my father Rachid Ghannouchi, along with trade unionists, and civil society activists.

In 2006, US embassy cables considered the question of finding a successor to Ben Ali in Tunisia
Cable dated: 2006-01-09 - SUBJECT: SUCCESSION IN TUNISIA: FINDING A SUCCESSOR OR FEET FIRST? - Classified By: AMBASSADOR WILLIAM HUDSON
Among the points made:
1. the US-Tunisian bilateral relationship is likely to remain unaffected by the departure of Ben Ali.
2. X recently told the Ambassador X that Ben Ali wants to avoid the "difficulties" that arose when Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourguiba, declined in 1987.
Some people may state their hope that U.S. and European pressure could force Ben Ali to ... relinquish the presidency.
3. POSSIBLE SUCCESSORS
Minister of Defense Morjane: affecting the credibility of succession scenarios is an oft-repeated notion that the US is favoring Morjane in the succession race.
May 2010 - General William E. Ward, commander of U.S. Africa Command, visited Tunisia and met Tunisian Minister of Defense Ridha Grira.
"Minister Grira had recently returned from very positive talks in Washington with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates." (Tunisia - U.S. Africa Command Blog)
October 2010 - Sakhr El Materi, chairman of the Tunisia-US Parliamentary Friendship Group, had talks with top Americans in the Pentagon and the State Department.
November 2010 - A cable from the US embassy in Tunis released by wikileaks describes Tunisia's President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's family entourage as a "quasi Mafia" because of its "organized corruption".
17 December - Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old university graduate, reportedly set himself alight in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid in a protest over unemployment.
Tunisia's current president is President Fouad Mebazza.
Was Tunisian army chief General Ammar part of the plot to topple Ben Ali?
Tunisian army chief, General Rachid Ammar, at a NATO meeting 2006.
There were unconfirmedreports, late on 12 January 2011, that Tunisian president Zine el Abidine Ben Ali has been toppled in a military coup, and replaced by General Rachid Ammar, a friend of NATO.
"According to Tunisian opposition sources, army chief General Rashid Ammar was removed for failing to carry out orders, and was replaced by Ahmad Shabir, head of the Tunisian secret service." (Curfew ordered in Tunisian capital)
"Prime Minister Ben Ali made no public appearances on 12 January 2011, increasing speculation that his 23-year-old regime may be nearing its end.
"The Egyptian newspaper El Wafd has reported that his wife and children have already fled for the United Arab Emirates, and the New York Times reports that other Ben Ali relatives have also hastily departed." (Curfew ordered in Tunisian capital)
How might a CIA-NATO coup be organised:
Get the IMF to cause economic discontent.
Hide the fact that Tunisia has been a relative success; and emphasise corruption.
Arrange some protests.
Get the police to shoot some protestors
Bring in the army to take control.
Enter Soros and McDonalds and the US military.
Left to right: Général de Division Rachid Ammar (Chief of the Army, Tunisia) shaking hands with General Raymond Henault (Chairman of the NATO Military Committee)
Tunisia's President Bin Ali has done a lot to build a sound economy.
Living standards are as high as in oil-rich states such as Libya.
"Special funds for micro-credits and employment did wonders in poverty alleviation and job creation in the 1990s and beyond."(Bin Ali - Al Jazeera English)
"Most Tunisians could not care less who rules them, so long as the eceonomy keeps growing (which it does), the Islamists are kept quiet (which they are), the poverty rate remains very low (4 percent - compared to about 15 percent in the UK and US), the education system provides their kids with a decent education (the best in the Arab world), that they have access to a first-rate health system (free of charge), and that the government does not invade their private lives (prostitution is legal and regulated, for instance; CCTV cameras do not follow your every movement)..."
But, the USA and its friends want a Tunisian regime that will allow in lots of American companies, and that will follow the dictates of Washington and Tel Aviv.
And, the USA and Israel like their Arab friends to be backward, feudal and easy to control.
There is a NATO link to the Madrid Bombings of 2004.
In 2003 Richard Sentner, an American intelligence agent linked to NATO, attended a meeting in Madrid with the Director of Spain's National Intelligence Centre, Jorge Dezcallar. (Translate this page)
On 1 March 2004, the Secretary General of NATO visited Spain.
On 4 March 2004, the Madrid Bombings took place.
A few hours before the Madrid Bombings, NATO carried out a terrorism exercise in Madrid. (Translate this page)
"The easiest way to run a false flag attack is under the cover of a military exercise," says Captain Eric H May, a former US intelligence officer.
Former Secretary General of NATO, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, described it as a "coincidence" that, on 4 March 2004, there was an anti-terrorist exercise (CMX-04) in Madrid, finishing just a few hours before the bombings.
The NATO counterterrorism exercise involved an imagined attack which would kill 200 people.
This number is very close to the number of fatalities that occurred in the actual Madrid Bombings.
The 7 July 2005 London Tube Bombings occurred the same day as a government terror exercise.
On the same day of the London bombings Peter Power gave interviews on BBC Radio 5 Live[52] and ITV[53] saying that he was involved in an exercise "based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning". He also gave an interview to the Manchester Evening News where he spoke of "an exercise involving mock broadcasts when it happened for real".[54]
On 9 11, there were government terror exercises.
"The chances of a terrorist attack occurs within hours of the completion of anti-terrorist exercises, as in Madrid, or the same day that they are developing, as happened in London (or New York in 2001), is one in millions." (Translate this page)
The airline manifest of Garuda airlines shows that at least two generals from Jakarta travelled to Bali three days before the bombings and that they returned to Jakarta one day before the Sari Club was blown up. (Bali Bomb - inside job.)
This was confirmed by armed forces chief General Sutarto, who claimed that General Djaja Suparman was on vacation, while General Ryamizard Riyacudu, chief of staff, was said to have gone to Bali for health reasons.
General Suparman is allegedly one of the generals behind certain 'Moslem' militias.
He reportedly set up militias to counter student demonstrations in 1998.
One of these militias, Pram Swarkasa, allegedly became Laskar Jihad.
1. During the crisis, the main aircraft used by the UK Meteorological Office to measure ash density was grounded, 'as it was due to be repainted'.
2. Computers at the Met Office produced maps showing the ash would cover an area stretching from Russia to Newfoundland.
But across almost all of this area, there was virtually no ash at all.
There was none visible to satellites.
3.The maximum density of ash over Britain was about one twentieth of the limit that scientists, the Government, and aircraft and engine manufacturers have now decided is safe.
Jim McKenna, the Civil Aviation Authority's head of Airworthiness, Strategy and Policy has admitted: 'It's also true that for some of the time, the density of ash above the UK was close to undetectable.'
1. The media manipulated the images of the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
The media used images of the volcano which were a week old.
Imagery of an eruption was shown at a time when the mountain was peaceful.
2. If there was a lot of ash, filming the volcano would be difficult. The lens would be covered in ash?
3. There have always been volcanic eruptions in Iceland. Many were worse than the present eruption. But past eruptions have not caused problems for airlines.
4. There have been very big eruptions from the largest volcano in Europe, Mount Etna in Sicily.
Etna erupted in 2002.
Satellite images showed a many hundred of kilometer long time plume of smoke from Etna.
But neither smoke nor ash stopped air traffic at that time.
"Some wonder whether there is something else going on under the cover of earthquake eruptions, such as a test run to shut down air travel internationally."
This large scale NATO Response Force Air Live Exercise was hosted by Germany. (arthurzbygniew.blogspot/)
So, they cleared the air of civil aircraft?
"NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on 19 April 2010 that the ash cloud was not affecting the alliance's military readiness." (Iceland eruption )
On 20 April 2010, The Mail reported that 40 test flights across Europe found NO evidence of ash in jet engines, windows or lubrication systems. (Iceland volcano eruption: Met Office criticised. )
Matthias Ruete, the European Commission's director general of transport, said air traffic authorities should not have imposed a widespread ban on flights.
Iceland has had fairly frequent volcanic eruptions and sometimes they have gone on for many months.
None of the previous eruptions has affected international air travel in the same way as the April 2010 eruption.
As the Telegraph points out today, "Volcanoes have pumped ash plumes of this size and bigger into the atmosphere many times in the past without turning an entire continent into a no-fly zone."
Volcanic erruptions are fairly frequent in Indonesia.
In 1982, in Indonesia, a British Airways Jumbo flew directly over an erupting volcano and lost power to all its engines.
1. After the eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland on April 14 air traffic across Europe was grounded.
2. Joachim Hunold, CEO of Germany's second largest carrier, Air Berlin, stated in Bild am Sonntag, "not one single weather ballon has been put up in Germany to measure if and how much volcanic ash there is in the air. The closing of the airspace is entirely based on the results of a computer simulation at the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in England."
3. Veteran Air France pilot, Steven Savignol, said: "I can tell you from my own experience that with blue skies, aircrafts can fly perfectly and very safely. They made test flights with Air France, KLM, Lufthansa and of course, all is ok!"
4. The VAAC in England was working from a "computer simulation," and "has not even conducted an actual sky ash measurement."
The agency responsible for Volcanic Ash measurement for the region, including Iceland, is Britain's "Met Office," the UK's National Weather Service, which in turn is a Trading Fund within the Ministry of Defence, operating on a commercial basis under set targets according to their website.
5.The Iceland eruption is a relatively minor one.
6. Modern jet aircraft engines are robust, says Air France's Savignol.
They have to face not only the hazards of bird strikes, but rain, hail and even salt spray on take-off from coastal airports. Furthermore, sand is a common hazard from dust storms and from desert airfields.
7. The blanket ban under clear blue skies and glorious sunshine across Europe made some wonder whether there was something else going on under the cover of earthquake eruptions, such as a test run to shut down air travel internationally.
Since no one has ever been injured from an aircraft disabled by a volcanic eruption, it is a question that lingers.
Luis posted this comment:
The Spanish version of Meyssan's VoltaireNet mentions that the NATO exercise was to test new tactical weapons related to the anti-missile shield.
Seeing as the US's anti-missile programme is such crap, clearing the skies was the only way to make the buggery thing work.
He also points out that the costs to the European airlines industry was devastating, leaving them exposed to takeovers by US operators.

In march 1997, the body of nine-year old Loubna was found in Belgium.
In 1992, she had been kidnapped by Patrick Derochette and then sexually abused, tortured, and murdered.
Derochette had previously raped four boys and had spent seven weeks in prison for these crimes.
Derochette knew Michel Nihoul, who knew Marc Dutroux.
There were many other such victims, both girls and boys.
In 1989, Marc Dutroux had been sentenced to a 13-year prison term for the rape of five children.
Thanks to an amnesty granted by the King of Belgium he was released in 1992.
Marc Dutroux was given generous welfare benefits of $2,700 per month.
Part of this money was used by Dutroux to build cells in some of the eight houses he owned.
The cells were to be used to imprison young children.
One of the 'friends' of Dutroux informed the police in 1993.
At first, the police took no action.
Eventually they were forced to act.
In 1996, two girls, Sabine and Laetitia, were rescued from the Dutroux dungeons.
Shortly afterwards, the police arrested Michel Nihoul, who was reportedly involved in organising child-sex orgies for top people in the army, the police, the judiciary, politics and the media.
These sex orgies were called 'Pink Ballets'.
The names of the present Belgian King, Albert, was mentioned in connection with the ballets.
The Belgian authorities found a letter form a satanic high priest to Bernard Weinstein, one of Dutroux’s two accomplices in the kidnapping of children.
The letter asked for a 'delivery' in order to be able to perform the rituals of Walpurgis Night.
The delivery is believed to refer to young children needed as sacrifices in a black mass.
Some of the police officers questioned by a Parliamentary Commission confirmed that there have indeed been 'Pink Ballets.'
In the early and mid 1980s, the 'Brabant Killers' killed 29 people in Brabant, the province surrounding the Belgian capital of Brussels.
The police investigation into the Brabant Killers got nowhere. Officers who were making progress in the case were taken off it, and evidence disappeared from the files.
A list of people who allegedly took part in the 'Pink Ballets' also went missing from police files.
One theory is that the Brabant killers murdered witnesses of the 'Pink Ballets'
It was revealed that the second-highest politician in the country, Vice Premier Elio Di Rupo, is a promiscuous homosexual with a preference for adolescent boys.
Di Rupo, a prominent leader of the Belgian Socialist Party, did not deny that his sex life consists of a series of one-night stands with young men, often prostitutes that he or his chauffeur pick up from the streets.
Di Rupo got away with it when his Socialist Party threatened to bring down the government if Di Rupo was forced to resign. The Christian Democrats of Premier Jean-Luc Dehaene gave in.
In Belgium, in 1984 a bizarre operation occurred around Vielsalm in the Ardennes region.
A squad of US Marines were parachuted into Belgium, and met by a member of the Belgian military intelligence.
They hid for a fortnight before attacking the police station of Vielsalm, in a so-called Oesling exercise, killing a Belgian officer. One marine was injured during the operation, losing an eye.
Initially the attack was passed off as terrorism, but was later proven to be the work of the American and Belgian military - as confirmed by the Senate investigations of 1991.
Other attacks occured, where, as was the case in Vielsalm, arms and ammunition were taken. Arms that found their way subsequently to extremist groups.
One central question in the Belgian Senate investigation into the stay-behind network was whether it had been involved in the so-calledBrabant Massacresof the 1980s.
These were a group of attacks that occured in the area around Brussels called Brabant over a period of two years. Jewellers, restaurants, and in a number of cases supermarkets were attacked by a gang of heavily armed and ruthless men.
In all the attacks very small amounts of money were taken, while "at the same time massive brutality and professionalism was employed" [NATO's Secret Armies pg 139].
For example, on November 9th 1985 on a busy Saturday, three armed hooded men entered a supermarket and started shooting. Eight people were killed, some while trying to escape.
The money taken from the raid amounted to a couple of thousand pounds, and was found dumped in a canal in an unopened sack...
An official report published on the Brabant Massacres in 1990, before the discovery of the secret army network, had concluded that the killers had official links:
“According to the report, the killers were members or former members of the security forces – extreme right-wingers who enjoyed high-level protection and were preparing a right-wing coup” [NATO’s Secret Armies, pg 145]
Charleroi
Muriel Degauque, the Belgian woman who allegedly died in Baghdad at the age of 38, grew up near the Belgian factory town of Charleroi.
Marc Dutroux, who allegedly had links to the security services, owned properties in Charleroi.
The story of Muriel Degauque's alleged death varies according to which sources are examined. Some newspapers get her name wrong and call her Dalgaugue.
A spokesman for the Belgian police's terrorism investigation team confirmed to CNN that Muriel Degauque, identified and pictured by Le Derniere Heure newspaper, was believed to be the suicide bomber who targeted an American patrol on November 9th. (Editors Weblog - Print Journalism)
"Muriel Degauque's life came to an end just over three weeks ago on a roadside in Baquba, north of Baghdad, when she blew herself up in an attack on an Iraqi police patrol on November 9. Five policemen were killed outright and a sixth officer and four civilians were seriously injured."
According to The Guardian the security services examined her body and "uncovered a treasure trove of documents which eventually led Belgian police to knock on her parents' front door at 6.00am on Wednesday.
Her passport, which featured a striking image of a European woman, told the security forces that insurgents in Iraq had succeeded in recruiting a new type of suicide bomber.
According to an article in The Sunday Times: Neighbours of Muriel’s parents rarely saw the young couple, but were taken aback when they did: on a couple of occasions they arrived at the family home in a luxurious white Mercedes. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2092-1902761,00.html)
In Morocco, the sort of people who drive Mercedes are usually connected to the right-wing military and the police. The majority of the population live in poverty.
Deguaque had a classic profile for recruitment by the security services as a 'patsy'. "She had a drug problem when she was younger, she had no real job, and was not very close to her family."
In 1979 Dutroux was convicted of drug dealing. In 1986 Dutroux was convicted of sexual crimes involving teenage girls. In 1983, Muriel Degauque would have been in her mid teens.
There is no evidence that Degauque had any links to Dutroux.
However, it is interesting that as an adolescent, Degauque frequently ran away from home. “One time I had to go 170km to get her back from the Ardennes,” M Degauque said. (http://www.iimcr.org/index.cfm?pageID=2&articleID=1438).
Child abuse is not unknown in the Ardennes.
From The Times, 1 Febuary 2002 'Shamed by the Marc Dutroux paedophilia scandal, Belgium watched aghast yesterday as another lurid child sex trial opened on its territory.
Nineteen people living in or near the picturesque Ardennes village of Sainte-Ode appeared in the dock, charged with having sex with a 12-year-old girl and other minors.'
Celine Saison, 18, and Manyana Thumpong, 13, are among those who have disappeared in the French Ardennes and whose bodies were later found in unmarked graves.
~~
What do we learn from the story of Dutroux and Charleroi? We know that young girls disappeared from the Charleroi area and that the authorities could not be trusted. There was a lot of child abuse. There have been allegations that the security services were using young girls in order to control certain top people linked to NATO.
Michel Nihoul allegedly organised orgies in a Belgian chateau - orgies allegedly attended by a former European commissioner, judges, senior politicians, lawyers and policemen. Nihoul was reportedly one of the accomplices of Marc Dutroux.
Regina Louf testified to the authorities about orgies at which she allegedly saw children tortured and murdered.
Guy Poncelet is a judge. His son, a police officer, was mysteriously shot dead. This son had been investigating a case involving Dutroux.
Judge Connerotte was the judge who caught Dutroux.
The authorities removed Connerotte from the case.
De Baets was the official in charge of investigating Regina louf. The authorities removed him from the case.
In 1991, Belgium's former deputy prime minister, Andre Cools, announced that he was about to make some revelations about the mafia and their links to some of the most important people in Liege.
Cools was shot dead. Before he could speak out.
After Dutroux's arrest in 1996, arrests were made in the Cool's case. One of those arrested was Alain Van der Biest, a Socialist Minister, alleged to have close links with the mafia gangs of Liege. Belgian TV came up with an anonymous witness who claimed that leading Socialist politician, Guy Mathot, had ordered Cools to be killed.
In 1994 Mathot was charged with corruption over kickbacks paid to Belgium's Socialist parties.
Willy Claes was NATO Secretary General and a Belgian. He was caught up in the Mathot kickbacks business and was forced to resign.
Who is Melchior Wathelet? It was top judge Wathelet who released Dutroux from prison in 1991. Wathelet was Belgium's judge at the European Court of Justice. Wathelet was Belgium's Justice Minister at the time when Cools was shot dead. Cools' son called for Wathelet and other top judges to be removed from office. In 1996 there were suggestions that the gangs involved in the Cools' killing had been involved with Dutroux.
Jonathan Allen, a public relations mouthpiece for the British government, was unable to restrain his sarcasm when talking about civil liberties. “The liberals who are holding things up need to ask themselves if they want the right to civil liberties or the right not to be blown up on the way to work,” said Allen...
In short, according to Allen and the Brit government, the British people have but two choices—either they surrender their civil liberties or fall victim to evil terrorists. It’s so simple—and very Manichean. Never mind that the alleged “mastermind” behind the London bombings, Haroon Rashid Aswat, is a British intelligence asset...
Degauque’s face is plastered all over the web, as she is the new frightening visage of terror—pretty white girls seduced by al-Qaeda “bad guys” bent on destroying infidels. It wasn’t so long ago we were told about a new phenomenon—formerly passive Middle Eastern Muslim women acting as suicide bombers—now we have to worry about the girl next door blowing herself and the entire block up.
Of course, the only solution is to surrender your civil liberties—and pronto.
Degauque may also be considered a poster girl for “an EU-style Central Intelligence Agency,” roundly rejected by effete soft-on-Osama wimps in Germany and France. “Many Europeans are wary of the U.S. approach to fighting terrorism, which they argue flouts human rights and condones torture.”
A few more pretty girl-next-door suicide bombers will change their minds, or maybe a couple more bombings like those in Madrid and London, never mind the police were involved in the former and there are more inconsistencies in the latter than you can shake a stick at.
Don’t bother yourself with the fact “Al Qaeda exists as an organized body only where the intelligence services have created, funded and employed it,” as former Justice Department prosecutor and terror expert, John Loftus, remarked after Haroon Rashid Aswat was pegged as an MI6 asset.
Instead, concentrate on the Belgian woman Muriel Degauque and recoil in horror at the prospect.
Next up: school kids with Semtex in their backpacks.
Extracts from an article in The Sunday Times by Nicola Smith, 4 December 2005.
Her school friends and neighbours remember her as ‘a good little girl’...
On the quiet streets of Charleroi, a bleak industrial city in southern Belgium, residents are in a state of shock. Just as the city was starting to recover from playing unwitting host to the crimes of the child murderer Marc Dutroux, it woke on Thursday to news of another horror.
Muriel Degauque, a pretty blonde 38-year-old brought up in a modest redbrick house in the shadows of the coal tip... Her parents, a crane driver and hospital secretary, had known nothing of her violent mission...
According to conflicting reports, she either killed six people or succeeded merely in blowing up herself...
Serge Beghin, a local councillor, knew her well as a child. Muriel had celebrated her first communion with his sister and he had been in her brother’s class at school. “She was just like all the other girls, dreaming I suppose about becoming a teacher or a nurse,” he said.
In fact, the general consensus in Charleroi was of a “lovely, good little girl” who adored to play in the snow.
By the time she had left school at 16, Muriel was... often running away from home, one time disappearing to the hilly Ardennes region 100 miles away without her parents’ knowledge. One neighbour recalled how she had found Degauque sleeping on the doorstep of the local community centre, having spent the night out in the open.
1989... Jean-Paul Degauque died on his 24th birthday when a car crashed into him after running past a stop sign.
Muriel was very close to her “charming” brother, who was the first-born and adored by their parents and everyone who knew them...
She worked for a short while in a bakery, where she was remembered mostly for her frequent absences...
Her childhood friends seemed to lose track of her when, in her early twenties, she moved to Brussels. She married a Belgian man of Turkish origin but later divorced him.
She converted to Islam four years ago when she struck up a new relationship with an Algerian man.
She married Moroccan-born Issam Goris, seven years her junior. She changed her name to Myriam and her parents began to worry ...fearing she had been brainwashed.
...Neighbours of Muriel’s parents rarely saw the young couple, but were taken aback when they did: on a couple of occasions they arrived at the family home in a luxurious white Mercedes. “I had to ask myself where they got the money from,” says Christiane Calwaerts, the next-door neighbour. The last time the Mercedes was seen on the street was in August, shortly before Muriel headed to the Middle East with her husband.
The couple gave no indication to Muriel’s family that they would not be returning...
Their landlord believed they were heading to Kenya. A local cafe owner said Goris had “said goodbye and that they were going to Morocco, to Meknes, where he apparently came from”. “The last time I spoke to my daughter on the telephone was a month ago. She told me she was in Syria,” said Liliane. She tried her mobile on several occasions but the calls went through to voice mail. She tried on Tuesday at 10.30pm, again without success.
...Police officers broke the news of their daughter... Her husband had suffered a less painful end, a single shot to the head fired by American soldiers in a separate incident on the same day.
...It was revealed on Friday that Pascal Cruypennick, also a white Belgian of European origin, had been arrested on suspicion of having sent suicide bombers to Iraq. He too had suffered a troubled childhood through the divorce of his parents and being beaten by his father. He later spent time in prison before finding work as a kitchen hand and marrying, then divorcing an African woman. Cruypennick converted to Islam three years ago...
Reportedly NATO and its friends are involved in the drugs trade.

Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) is the central command of NATO military forces.
It is located at Casteau, north of the Belgian city of Mons.
Belgium is the home of Marc Dutroux and Andre Cools.
In 1991, Belgium's former deputy prime minister, Andre Cools, announced that he was about to make some revelations about the mafia and their links to important people. (Marc Dutroux)
Willy Claes, the NATO Secretary general who resigned rather suddenly.
Cools was shot dead before he could speak out.
Belgian TV came up with an anonymous witness who claimed that leading Socialist politician, Guy Mathot, had ordered Cools to be killed.
In 1994 Mathot was charged with corruption over kickbacks paid to Belgium's Socialist parties.
Willy Claes was NATO Secretary General and a Belgian.
He was caught up in the Mathot kickbacks affair and was forced to resign.
1. Kay Griggs, who is an historian, explained in her 1998 interviews that the CIA is a red herring, because the big decisions really come down from SHAPE, which is always led by members of the US military.
2. According to Kay Griggs:
"These generals ... They're all Masons... They're the Mob. The Marine Corps are the hit men. They're mercenaries...
"They work with these Communists...
"They have more affinity for the State of Israel than they do our nation."
They have a "homosexual culture."
3. According to Kay Griggs, those who excel in this climate are called "rising stars."
"That's the word the State Department uses for those who are controlled."
5. Albert Carone was with the military and then he went into New York City Police Department and did crossover work with Central Intelligence Agency.
While he was with the military until his death, he was with Military Intelligence, Counter Intelligence Corps.
After Carone died, the military denied ever knowing him.
Bank accounts disappeared. Insurance policies disappeared. Files disappeared. Records disappeared. Because in addition to being a colonel, Mr. Carone also worked for the CIA, the Mafia, and the NYPD.
According to Carone's daughter, Desiree, her father "As a small child ... came under Vito Genovese. After Genovese's death, it went to Joseph Colombo. My father knew the Gallo brothers, Joseph Gallo but I cannot remember his brother's name. The Mazzaratti family, the Colombo family.
"At the time that my father was in Brooklyn, he dealt a great deal with the main head which was Gambino himself, and he was very close to Joe Colombo, the Bonanno family, Joe Bonanno, and he was very close to Paulie Castelano."
According to Carones's daughter, Desiree, "The agency, the CIA, was bringing in drugs and dad was the liaison between organized crime families because my father was a made man with organized crime; he rode both sides of the fence.
"They used dad for it so dad used to take the payoffs from different people and there were certain people in the police department that were paid off to look the other way...
"Army, the mob, CIA, NYPD... one big happy family! He was also a 'bag man' for the CIA...
"Black operations were paid through my father. If people needed to be hired, they were hired through my father. If people needed to be eliminated, he was then one who was the final, I guess, down the line, to give the order.
"He worked with people such as William Casey, Oliver North, Theodore Shackley, Manuel Noriega, and he had multiple passports...."
One day "when he came home he was very depressed. He said he could not do this work any longer and he said he was not long for this world, that the suits would be coming for him."
Carone's attitude toward the military changed from that time. He wanted his daughter to know things.
"When my father got sick, my father told me to remember certain names and one of them was Elliot Abrams...
"General Richard Stilwell. My father worked with him in Asia. My father also did a lot of training of certain troops with General Richard Stilwell, gorilla [sic] training. ...I'm positive he said South East Asia..."
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen
