And speaking of passing away, it is indeed curious that Stephan Koch died on 27th October 2008, and his boss at Midland Bank, Sir John Cuckney (Baron Cuckney) died three days later on 30th October 2008.
Anyway, thanks to a small piece in the latest issue of Lobster Magazine (Summer 2013), we have a link to a website that details many of the shady arms deals of the Thatcher premiership - that Nadir was drawn into. The website, Janjon.com, provides declassified documents from the CIA that, to my astonishment, speak openly of state sponsored assassination of 4 persons (Dr. Gerald Bull, journalist Jonathan Moyle, Andre Cools, Belgian politician, and Lionel Jones - all because they threatened to blow the lid on a host of covert arms to Iraq that Koch was involved with.
The question I have is how did Nadir, or whoever represents him on this website, obtain an un-redacted copy of the CIA Research paper SW91 - 10076X intelligence summary? If this document truly is genuine then as Robin Ramsay says it is explosive. Even the names of SAS soldiers hired by Koch to assassinate Gerald Bull are named.
There is much here to ponder.
Much to ponder indeed.
I spotted the lobster article a couple of months ago, had a quick chunter around the AD site and had it all flagged for a more in-depth look. What with incessant techie diversions and, I must confess, mild nervousness about posting the CIA pdf on Wikispooks, for obvious reasons etc etc, It had slipped my mind until your post.
It deals with the UK era I am becoming most interested in but it clearly involves the murkiest and dirtiest of dealings at the very highest political/intel levels. From what I know already, there's probably good reason to be nervous about rooting around in it too.
