Hariri - German author claims the US / Mossad killed him

Juergen Cain Kuelbel 56, a German criminologist has written - "Hariri's assassination: Hiding Evidence in Lebanon," (available in Arabic) was reviewed on Lebanon's New TV . He was brought up in Egypt and Japan , trained at a Sports University in Leipzig and operates as a criminologist from where he lives in Berlin with his family.

Detlev Mehlis, initially selected by UN to investigate the assassination who has focussed responsibility on the Syrian Gubment is reported in the Beirut Star saying the claims he makes are "ridiculous"....and goes on in detail to say :

"The claims made in the book, such as that of the jamming system used by Hariri being from an Israeli company, are completely false and simply ridiculous," said Mehlis, referring to one of the examples cited in the book as "proof" that Mehlis was distorting facts "in line with the demands of the US and Israeli administrations."

"I and several members of the UN commission investigated this issue, and the system used by Hariri was imported from a Western European country," said Mehlis.

He then admits to not having read the book as such an expenditure would be a "waste", a novel way of evaluating such a contribution to the event which has puzzled everybody so far who has spent any time investigating it.

Kuelbel has been visiting Beirut and Damascus and was interviwed on Friday by the Star.

He claims to have arrived in Beirut to help provide "an alternative track" to the UN commission investigating the assassination which he hopes it would "at least consider." He was in Damascus on Sunday and gave a talk at the al-Assad National Library Sunday evening titled 'Hariri's Assassination … Hidden Evidences'.In the audience were Ministers of Expatriates, Labor and Social Affairs and Culture along with a number of Arab and Foreign ambassadors to Syria.

He pointed out to the fact that this crime preceded a successful plot to destroy the historic ties connecting Syria and Lebanon.

"Syria is innocent and has nothing to do with that crime or the other assassinations," Kuebel claims, indicating that assassinations in Lebanon root back to the Lebanese civil war and to the Israeli occupation and its crimes in the country. he reinforces this claim with a lengthy history of the Straussian ne-cons which is now familiar and calls them the "Neo-con Cabal"

Mossad and the US are behind this crime he claims.

"Currently the commission is on the Syrian track, and what I am offering in my book, backed with evidence and interviews, is a U.S.-Israeli track, that had a hand in the assassination,"

"The book is not an attack on the former head of the UN probe, Detlev Mehlis," said Kuelbel, adding he hopes to meet and interview Mehlis in the near future.

"Mehlis was pressured to follow the Syrian track, as shown by a UN report, where UN Secretary General Kofi Annan himself told him to follow that route," said Kuelbel.

One of the principal clues in the book that caught media attention, is the source of the jamming system that disabled the Hariri convoy's defense system, which Kuelbel claims is manufactured in Israel and was "surprised" to read Mehlis' comment in The Daily Star where he said it was "imported from a Western European country."Kuelbel also says one of the owners of the Israeli company worked in the Israeli Secret Services. It was the failure of this jamming system which allowed the explosion.

"Mehlis said imported, not produced, and it is easy to trace the manufacturer, as it is not uncommon for Israel, being the top producer, to get a license in Europe," said Kuelbel.

In his book, Kuelbel points the finger at "exiled Lebanese," mentioning organizations like "The United States Committee for a Free Lebanon (USCFL)," a major Lebanese American grassroots lobbying organization in the U.S., and "The Government of Lebanon in Exile," in Jerusalem, the Israeli intelligence network and the CIA.

On it's website USCFL has “selected links” and list just 3 lobbying organizations: Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and Christian Coalition of America.

The U.S. Committee for a Free Lebanon, founded in 1997 by Ziad K. Abdelnour, describes itself as the “cyber-center for Pro-Lebanon Activism.” USCFL was one of the leading proponents (sponsored by Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY))of the “Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003,” which President Bush signed on December 12, 2003. This act has a stated objectives, "“To halt Syrian support for terrorism, end its occupation of Lebanon, stop its development of weapons of mass destruction, cease its illegal importation of Iraqi oil and illegal shipments of weapons and other military items to Iraq, and by so doing hold Syria accountable for the serious international security problems it has caused in the Middle East, and for other purposes.” The bill had a great deal of support from both sides from Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), and to Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rick Santorum (R-PA) .

In 2000 the Middle East Forum’s Daniel Pipes co-authored a jingoistic report "Syrian rule in Lebanon stands in direct opposition to American ideals," with Abdelnour that advocated the use of U.S. military action to force Syria out of Lebanon and to disarm Syria of its alleged weapons of mass destruction.

Virtually all 31 signatories of this MEF report, which was used to persuade Congress to introduce and pass the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act in 2003, are USCFL members, and several are or were big noises in the Bush foreign policy team, including Abrams, Perle, Feith, Dobrianksy, and Wurmser. Other high-profile USCFL members who signed the report demanding that Washington shift from engaging Syria to confronting it included the Center for Security Policy’s Gaffney, JINSA’s Steinmann, and American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Ledeen.


The USCFL’s Abdelnour is an expatriate investment banke and operates like Ahmed Chalabi for the INC. Abdelnour has lobbied the Bush administration and the U.S. Congress for a U.S. foreign policy that mirrors the hard-line position of Israel’s Likud Party, especially its call for ending the Syrian occupation of Lebanon and the dismantling of the Hezbollah militias in Lebanese territory.Following the bombing that killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, the USCFL released a statement on February 14, 2005 that concluded that “Syria’s Days are numbered.” According to USCFL, “With the killing of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Lebanon, Syrian Ba'athists are out of control. Who's next?

"There's got to be a change in Syria," said Deputy Secretary of State Paul Wolfowitz in April 2003.
