European Spooks Say Mideast Terrorists Needed State Support

"By Way Of Deception Thou Shalt Do War." - The official motto of Mossad

European intelligence experts dismiss the Bush “war on terrorism” as deception and reveal the realpolitik behind the bombing of Afghanistan.

In Germany, where war plans for Afghan istan were already being discussed in July and where several of the “Arab hijackers” lived and studied, intelligence experts say the terror attacks of Sept. 11 could not have been carried out without the support of a state secret service.

Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Ger many’s domestic intelligence service, Verfassungs schutz, told American Free Press that “the deathly precision” and “the magnitude of planning” behind the at tacks would have needed “years of planning.”

Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would require the “fixed frame” of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a “loose group” of terrorists like the one allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg.

Many people would have been involved in the planning of such an operation and Werthebach pointed to the absence of leaks as further indication that the attacks were “state organized actions.”

Andreas von Bülow served on the parliamentary commission which oversees the three branches of the German secret service while a member of the Bundestag (German parliament) from 1969 to 1994, and wrote a book Im Namendes Staates (“In the Name of the State”) on the criminal activities of secret services, including the CIA.

Von Bülow told AFP that he believes that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, is behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks. These attacks, he said, were carried out to turn public opinion against the Arabs and boost military and security spending.

“You don’t get the higher echelons,” von Bülow said, referring to the “architectural structure” which masterminds such terror attacks. At this level, he said, the organization doing the planning, such as Mossad, is primarily interested in affecting public opinion.

The architectural level planners use corrupt “guns for hire” such as Abu Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist who von Bülow called “an instrument of Mossad,” high-ranking Stasi (former East German secret service) operatives, or Libyan agents who organize terror attacks using dedicated people, for example Palestinian and Arab “freedom fighters.”

The terrorists who actually commit the crimes are what von Bülow calls “the working level,” such as the 19 Arabs who allegedly hijacked the planes on Sept. 11.

“The working level is part of the deception,” he said.

“Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the world is deception and disinformation,” von Bülow said, which is widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events. “Journalists don’t even raise the simplest questions,” he said, adding, “those who differ are labeled as crazy.”

Both Werthebach and von Bülow said the lack of an open and official investigation, like congressional hearings, into the events of Sept. 11 was incomprehensible.

Horst Ehmke, who coordinated the German secret services directly under German Prime Minister Willi Brandt in the 70s, predicted a similar terrorist attack in his novel, Torches of Heaven, published last year, in which Turkish terrorists crash hijacked planes into Berlin.

Although Ehmke had long expected “fundamentalist attacks” and when he saw the televised images from Sept.11, he said it looked like a “Hollywood production.”

“Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret service,” Ehmke said, although he did not want to point to any particular agency.

“The most important thing in the struggle against terrorists, who are abusing religion, is the battle for the soul of the people and the nations,” Ehmke said. “If this isn’t resolved successfully, the 21st century could be bloodier than the last.”

A former Stasi agent who had warned the German secret service of terror attacks in America between Sept. 10-20 told AFP that a high ranking Stasi chief named Jürgen Rogalla, who is “an airplane terror specialist,” was probably involved in the attacks along with Abu Nidal.

Both Nidal and Rogalla work with the Mossad, the former agent told AFP. Nidal, was said to be in Baghdad, and is a “leading officer for some Mossad agents.”

The agent said that Nidal was “involved directly” in the events of Sept. 11.
Sept. 11 was preparation for a larger attack on the United States, which is part of “an old plan,” the agent said. Based on prior knowledge of this plan, the agent said that more attacks are imminent and that aircraft carriers may be targeted next.

Rogalla was responsible for “turning NATO men” to spy for the East. One of the East’s NATO spies, Reiner Rupp, known as “Topaz,” provided Stasi and the Rus sians with the organization’s highest secrets until he was discovered in 1993 by the BND, the German intelligence agency.
