DPAHamburg- German legislators are to investigate claims that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plotted to murder an alleged al-Qaeda fundraiser in Hamburg, the head of parliament's Internal Affairs Committee said on Thursday. Wolfgang Bosbach, of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), said his committee would look into alleged CIA plans targeting Syrian-born Mamoun Darkazanli.
US magazine Vanity Fair first broke the story, claiming that the CIA sent a team from the private security firm Blackwater, now Xe, to Hamburg to "find, fix and finish" Darkazanli, 51.
Darkazanli, who has a German passport, was an associate of several of the Hamburg suicide attackers who used hijacked jets to kill almost 3,000 people on September 11, 2001 in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Germany investigated him but did not try him.
Darkazanli said he suspected there was a US plot to murder him, during a television interview earlier this week. Just recently he had noticed cars which could be connected to such a plot, he added.
"It has not stopped. Nobody knew, who was after me," Darkazanli told ARD television. He had even found suspicious electronic components in his wife's car, he added.
