Secret Service spread terror message ... we are all doooooomed!!!!

Interpol Secretary-General Ronald Noble was in New York for a 2 day visit to speak to the Counter-terrorism Committee of the UN Security Council on Interpol’s work.

He claimed that there are 10 to 15 million stolen passports in use around the world at the present time

“If member countries treated stolen passports like citizens treat their stolen credit cards, then we would have many, many fewer terrorists and organized criminals in the world than we currently do,”

Noble said.

He said only 87 countries are using an Interpol database on stolen passports, 100 more countries remain undecided. Since it was created 3 years ago when only 12 countries had signed on, he added, the database has gone from 3,000 to more than 8,000,000 entries. “Unless all countries share that information globally, the terrorists and organized criminals will be able to move from country to country,” Noble said. It also makes one wonder what utility the proposed UK national Identity Database will be…. and the very remote possibility that a user of a stolen passport will be picked up.

Noble claimed Ramzi Youssef the WTC Bomber in 1993 was using a stolen Iraqi passport and that the Serbian Prime Minister, Zoran Djindjic who was assassinated in 2003 by someone carrying a stolen Croatian passport that had been stamped 26 times by six European countries and by Singapore.

He revealed that Interpol has sent three experts, including an analyst, to work with the Mehlis investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Premier Rafik Hariri in February, the Interpol chief said. The police organization is also helping track down the fabled right hand drive, White Mitsubishi panel truck , that was stolen in Japan and filled with explosives (as an independent witness watched !! .. although we still don't know what sort of explosives were used !) used in the murder. Tokyo failed to notify Interpol of the vehicle theft, said Noble calling the failure “an opportunity lost to possibly disrupt that attack.”

“We submit that had that data been entered into the Interpol data base and had the Lebanese border control checked the data base as they frequently do, maybe that truck would have been prevented from getting into Lebanon,” he added. … which is a bit of a non sequitur because the bombers would just use another vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph reports, former head of British intelligence Sir Richard Dearlove, said at a Terrorism seminar at the law firm Ashursts, in London that the 7/7 bombings that killed 52 London commuters did not amount to a “strategic terrorist event,” the Daily Telegraph reported.

He is reported (after warning about a potential terrorist nuclear Armageddon) saying that “ the July attacks on three subway trains and a bus “bore the characteristic of a locally planned and carried-out event.” Smart guys, these Secret Service Johnnies ... sleep easy.

Unbelievably and for the first time , the Daily Mirror reported from "sources", this week that all four 7/7 “suicide” bombers were tracked by security services a year before they attacked London. (WOW) The surveillance operation was ditched after intelligence officers decided there was nothing suspicious about their behavior, according to “sources.”
