Underwear Bomber Exclusive: 'there would be nearly no war on terror without CIA involvement'

Globe of Splendour has received an exclusive comment from 'underwear bomber' witness Kurt Haskell on the latest alleged Al Qaeda bomb plot. New twists are emerging in the story. According to reports, the man who alerted the US about the latest alleged plot to blow up an US passenger jet was a Saudi-born jihadi recruited by Saudi intelligence and MI5 to infiltrate Al Qaeda in Yemen.


Haskell, a US attorney from Newport, Michigan, was on Flight 253 out of Amsterdam on Christmas Day, 2009, which was the target of a failed alleged al-Qaeda bombing attempt.

Haskell, who is seeking nomination for Congress in 2012, writes to Globe of Splendour: "The current plot is very similar to flight 253. As you know, I've been speaking out that a similar event took place on flight 253. After conducting a two-years investigation regarding flight 253, I have assembled enough evidence to convince me beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was a staged attack.
"In fact, I witnessed part of the crime before boarding and part was admitted during Congressional hearings. The attack was similar to this [new] one in that the CIA provided the perpetrator with an intentionally defective bomb. In this case, the perpetrator was CIA, but the bomb was live.
"The fact of the matter is that there would be nearly no war on terror without the CIA involvement. Every terrorist attack involving the U.S. since 2001 has involved the CIA or FBI. These individuals provide the means motive and opportunity to carry out the plots. Such plots are not carried out to make the world safer from terrorism, but are carried out for financial and political reasons.
"Terrorism is a trillion dollar a year business. It is used by the U.S. to support many illegal laws and illegal invasions for the sake of a "peace keeping" mission. The threat of terrorism is in actuality very minor, but is trumped up 100 fold by the media and the U.S. Government to justify these objectives. It is getting to the point that many people just laugh when they hear abouts plots like this.
"Most people believe my account regarding flight 253. I'm sure I will find even more support with the latest relevation.
 "The mainstream media, for whatever reason, merely repeats what it is told by the U.S. Government. They know what's really going on, but they continue the propaganda to suit their own purposes. Radio and alternative media tell the truth about these incidents.
"I am running for Congress, in part, to clean up this sort of corruption."
 
Haskell announced in March that he is seeking the nomination on the Democratic ticket in Michigan District 7. The seat currently held by Republican Tim Walberg, R-Tipton.

The convicted bomber in the "Christmas Day bombing attempt" was 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who had concealed plastic explosives in his underwear but failed to detonate them properly, resulting in flames and popping noises. A Dutch passenger, Jasper Schuringa, tackled and restrained him and put out the fire with the aid of others.

U.S. President Barack Obama called the U.S.'s failure to prevent the bombing attempt "totally unacceptable", and ordered an investigation.
Passengers Kurt and Lori Haskell, both US attorneys, said that while waiting to board Flight 253 at Schiphol Airport, they saw a "poor-looking black teenager around 16 or 17" who Haskell claims was Abdulmutallab with a second man, who was "sharp-dressed", possibly of Indian descent, around 50 years old, and who spoke "in an American accent similar to my own."
According to Lori Haskell, the second man told the ticket agent: "We need to get this man on the plane. He doesn't have a passport." The ticket agent said nobody was allowed to board without a passport. The well-dressed man replied: "We do this all the time; he's from Sudan."
Lori Haskell said the two were then directed down a corridor, to talk to a manager. "We never saw him again until he tried to blow up our plane," Haskell said of Abdulmutallab.
Only U.S. citizens are permitted to board international flights to the U.S. without passports, and even then only if the airline confirms their identity and citizenship, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A CBP official and spokesman confirmed there were not any Sudanese refugees on the plane. The Dutch counter-terror agency said that Abdulmutallab presented a valid Nigerian passport and U.S. entry visa when he boarded Flight 253, and after reviewing more than 200 hours of security camera recordings, did not find any indication that he had accomplices at the airport. Haskell suggested authorities should, "Put the video out there to prove I'm wrong."
