Al-Qaeda, a Secret Service Operation? (fifth largest turkish newspaper)

Countries facing the al-Qaeda threat are awaiting the intelligence Turkish security is to provide. Amid the smoke from the fortuitous fire emerged the possibility that al-Qaeda may not be, strictly speaking, an organization but an element of an intelligence agency operation. Turkish intelligence specialists agree that there is no such organization as al-Qaeda. Rather, Al-Qaeda is the name of a secret service operation. The concept “fighting terror” is the background of the “low-intensity-warfare” conducted in the mono-polar world order. The subject of this strategy of tension is named as “al-Qaeda.”

Sakra, the fifth most senior man in Osama bin Ladin’s al-Qaeda that has challenged the whole world from a base in the Afghan mountains, is in the hands of Turkish Justice. Sakra has been sought by the secret services since 2000. The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) interrogated him twice before. Following the interrogation CIA offered him employment. He also received a large sum of money by CIA. However the CIA eventually lost contact with him. Following this development, in 2000 the CIA passed intelligence about Sakra through a classified notice to Turkey, calling for the Turkish National Security Organization (MIT) to capture him. MIT caught Sakra in Turkey and interrogated him. Sakra’s protests that, “MIT abducted my wife and interrogated her for 20 days,” as he was brought to Besiktas court in Istanbul for sentencing, seem to confirm these claims.

Sakra was sought and caught by Syrian al-Mukhabarat as well. Syria too offered him employment. Sakra eventually became a triple agent for the secret services. These astounding claims are the outcome of Sakra’s four-day interrogation at Istanbul Anti-Terror Department Headquarters. Turkish security officials, interrogating a senior al-Qaeda figure for the first time, were thoroughly confused about what they discovered about al-Qaeda. The prosecutor too was surprised. A second hearing of the case about the attacks in Istanbul between November 15-23, 2003, is reportedly possible.

1. I believe

George Galloway of the UK said 'Al Qaeda' was the name for the data base the US kept of names in the bin Laden movement when they helped them against the USSR.

4. Robin Cook said it

Formerly Blair's foreign secretary, who resigned over the Iraq war. He died last week.

7. You're right !

"Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians. Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin Laden's organisation would turn its attention to the west."

I kept thinking of Cook, but figured it was because he's just been in the news. Thanks.

13. IF OBL is still alive-he is still on the CIA, etal payroll or his

successors.

2. Makes sense...

When you start thinking carefully, articles like this make much more sense than the official descriptions of Al-Qaeda (such as "special forces in Afghanistan encountered a group of Al Qaeda fighters" - there is no such thing as Al Qaeda fighters.

3. Thanks for finding this!

Very interesting. Further confirmation of what is becoming increasingly obvious.

8. I hate to sound dumb, but

isn't the headline a bit misleading? Perhaps the writer doesn't have a perfect command of American English?

Either the author doesn't understand what "secret service" means in the US, or he is being purposefully unclear.

9. In other parts of the world,

people say "secret service" where we would say "intellegence agents" or "CIA".

11. I guess the problem is, how do you have a #5 man in any

non-organization?

No organization means there's no structure to count. Saying there's a number 5 man implies there's a number 4 man, and maybe a number 6 man. This is an organization.

14. Sakra alive or dead???

I suppose I should make sure my tin foil hat is on right for this. This source has been pretty interesting of late.
