BREAKING NEWS -- July 9, 2005 -- Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook: "Al Qaeda" was the name of a U.S. intelligence database -- Writing today in The Guardian, Cook revealed, "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."

Former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, whose Foreign Office portfolio included control of MI-6 and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)

It is noteworthy that Cook made his revelation about the "Al Qaeda" computer file of mujaheddin volunteers one day before the Abu Hafs Al Masri Brigades became the second terrorist group to claim responsibility for the London blasts. Abu Hafs, an Egyptian citizen whose name appeared in the database and whose nom de guerre was al-Masri ("The Egyptian'), was an aide to Osama Bin Laden and helped to populate the database with mujaheddin volunteer fighters. Al-Masri was part of the group of Egyptian Jihadists that assassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981. One of a-Masri's daughters married one of Osama Bin Laden's daughters.

The Abu Hafs Al Masri Brigades were ultimately blamed for the Madrid train bombings prior to the Spanish elections, which pitched the anti-war Socialists against the governing pro-Iraq war PP (neo Fascist) party of Jose Maria Aznar. Aznar, at first, blamed the Madrid bombings on Basque ETA terrorists. After it emerged that Aznar and his Interior Minister Angel Acebes and Foreign Minister Ana Palacio withheld critical intelligence on prior knowledge of Islamic involvement in the Madrid attacks, the new Socialist government of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero convened a special commission to look at what occured between March 11 (the date of the bombings) and March 14, 2004. It is believed that the Aznar government did not want the Middle East connection to surface because of the unpopularity of its participation in the Iraq war. Therefore, it falsely switched to blame to ETA to reap maximum political advantage over the Socialists. The gambit failed and continues to fail, the Socialists just having swept the Francoist PP from their longtime stronghold in the regional assembly of Galicia. The Al Masri Brigades also took responsibility for the Aug. 10, 2004 Istanbul bombings at a time when Turkey adamantly refused to join the Coalition of the Willing in Iraq.

One of Iran's top clerics, Ayatollah Mohammed Emami-Kashani, picked up on U.S. and Israeli ties to Islamic terrorist groups on Iran state radio. The cleric said Al Qaeda was an "illegimate child of the West." Emami-Kashani said, "You talk about Al Qaeda. Have you forgotten who has bred Al Qaeda? . . . It's the illegitimate child of America and Israel, but you name it Islam. This savagery is not Islam. It is coming from inside of you and it is now punching you." His remarks were specifically directed at Prime Minister Tony Blair. The ayatolloh also had pointed words for President Bush: "Acting against terrorism must be honest ... and you will not succeed unless you wise up and change your ways." BBC Teheran correspondent Frances Harrison is reporting that the Iranian government is now emphasizing that U.S. funding for the Afghan mujaheddin spawned both the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
