Detlev Mehlis - exposed

German TV exposes CIA, Mossad links to 1986 Berlin disco bombing By a German correspondent on the World Socialist Website 27 August 1998

This article demonstrates that the German ZDF TV magazine Frontal exposed on August 25th 1998 evidence that some of the main suspects in the 1986 Berlin disco bombing, the stated reason for the lethal assault on Libya worked for American and Israeli intelligence. The State Prosecutor who was complicit in concealing the involvement of the CIA and Mossad was ...... Detlev Mehlis.... who has now (purely accidentally) revealed the authors and masterminds of the Hariri assassination. Read the article yourself.... judge.

Here are the conclusions the article arrives at ..

Since November of 1997 five defendants have been on trial in a Berlin court for their alleged involvement in the La Belle attack. But in the course of more than half a year the case has proceeded very slowly. ZDF television, which carried out its own investigation into the case, explained why in the August 25 documentary produced by its political magazine Frontal.

What the German documentary reveals

The Frontal report arrives at the following conclusions:
1) The lead defendant presently on trial, Yasser Chraidi, is very possibly innocent, and is being used as a scapegoat by German and American intelligence services.

2) At least one of the defendants, Musbah Eter, has been working for the CIA over many years.

3) Some of the key suspects have not appeared in court, because they are being protected by Western intelligence services.

4) At least one of those, Mohammed Amairi, is an agent of Mossad, the Israeli secret service.

On September 9, 1996, the very day the Berlin judge threatened to release Chraidi, Berlin public prosecutor Detlev Mehlis, Berlin police inspector Uwe Wilhelms and a Mr. Winterstein of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) met Musbah Eter in the Mediterranean island state of Malta.

An article in Media Monitor on Friday 28th takes up this point ..
"UN's Mehlis report discredited :: International espionage over Syria? ::"
by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed .....

"Detlev Mehlis’ role in the investigation into the La Belle bombing raises disturbing questions about his role in the investigation of the assassination of Hariri. As Berlin public prosecutor, Mehlis inadvertently but consistently covered up the dubious involvement of US, Israeli and German intelligence interests in the 1986 terrorist attack; actively built a selective politically-motivated case against suspects without objective material proof; while ignoring and protecting a group of suspects with documented connections to western secret services. This background fundamentally challenges the credibility of his investigation of the Hariri assassination."

In previous posts I identified the way the MSM slavishly swallowed Mehlis's OOOOPSIE with Word, allowing the smug observers the opportunity to spill the beans ... and allow the neo con spin machine to speed out of the blocks faster than Carl Lewis, in Washington, Tel Aviv and even allow Jack Straw in deepest darkest Alabama to wade in and call for UN to introduce sanctions on Syria... which they will discuss next week.

Will Mehlis's role as poodle investigator appear on BBC / CBS / ABC / CNN/ NYT / Wapo / Times / .... don't hold your breath.

Nice one Detlev !

People who believe in those bloody silly conspiracy theories might like to have a look at the UN report of the Press Meeting when Herr Mehlis revealed his report...I was much taken by this remark....

Asked why he had met with United States Representative John Bolton this morning (Friday) about the report, Mr. Mehlis said that he would meet with all ambassadors about it, and that someone had to be first.

..of course.
