      New Direction in Search for Anthrax Culprit
      10 November: Fresh foreign leads in the FBI’s anthrax investigation point to
      the involvement of one or more German or Austrian biological or chemical
      researcher with pro-Nazi leanings, part of a complicated South American web
      linked to the Hizballah and fugitive Nazi communities, some of whom are also
      connected to Iraqi military intelligence.
      One or a group of these researchers are thought to have entered the United
      States and found jobs with American industrial laboratories or research
      institutes, setting up clandestine private biological warfare labs in their
      spare time.
      One of those leads turned up, when on October 10 a group of 10 terrorists was
      caught in Mexico City on its way to assassinate Mexican president Vicente Fox
      and carry out a mass strike in the Mexican Senate. They were found by US and
      Mexican investigators to be a Lebanese Hizballah gang, preparing to celebrate
      the first month’s anniversary of their ally’s “feats” in New York and
      Washington by hitting one of America’s foremost allies on the continent. The
      terrorists reached Mexico from the Brazil-Uruguay-Paraguay triangle, fresh from
      training at the hands of German neo-Nazis. They could not say if their
      instructors were linked to Arab or Islamic intelligence agencies, but a
      description of one of those instructors rang a bell: he sounded like one of the
      suspects long sought in connection with the Hizballah bombings of the Israeli
      Embassy and Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1993 and 1994.
      Imad Mugniyeh, the notorious hostage-taker and bomber of Beirut in the 1980s,
      is now believed to have masterminded those strikes. Currently a senior
      commander of Al Qaeda, Mughniyeh is thought to have developed neo-Nazi contacts
      in Latin America through local Lebanese expatriate businessmen. Various
      agencies, including the FBI, are now probing his possible complicity in the
      bioterror attack on America, in view of the evidence of his involvement in the
      September 11 atrocities in New York and Washington and his links to neo-Nazi
      elements in South America.
      At the same time, Iraqi military intelligence is also known to be very active
      in Latin America in the Arab and Nazi expatriate communities.
      When last Thursday, the US president’s national security adviser, Condoleezza
      Rice, administered her sharp rebuke to the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat,
      for “hugging” the Hizballah, she certainly had the Hizballah gang in Mexico
      City in mind.

      Osama claims he has nukes: If US uses N-arms it will get same response
      By Hamid Mir

      KABUL, Nov 9: Osama bin Laden has said that "we have chemical and nuclear
      weapons as a deterrent and if America used them against us we reserve the right
      to use them". He said this in a special interview with Hamid Mir, the editor of
      Ausaf, for Dawn and Ausaf, at an undisclosed location near Kabul. This was the
      first interview given by Osama to any journalist after the September 11 attacks
      in New York and Washington.
      The correspondent was taken blindfolded in a jeep from Kabul on the night of
      Nov 7 to a place where it was extremely cold and one could hear the sound of
      anti-aircraft guns firing away. After a wait of some time , Osama arrived with
      about a dozen bodyguards and Dr Ayman Al-Zuwahiri and answered questions.

      Hamid Mir: After American bombing on Afghanistan on Oct 7, you told the Al-
      Jazeera TV that the Sept 11 attacks had been carried out by some Muslims. How
      did you know they were Muslims ?

      Osama bin Laden: The Americans themselves released a list of the suspects of
      the Sept 11 attacks, saying that the persons named were involved in the
      attacks. They were all Muslims, of whom 15 belonged to Saudi Arabia, two were
      from the UAE and one from Egypt. According to the information I have, they were
      all passengers.Fateha was held for them in their homes. But America said they
      were hijackers.

      HM: In your statement of Oct 7, you expressed satisfaction over the Sept 11
      attacks, although a large number of innocent people perished in them, hundreds
      among them were Muslims. Can you justify the killing of innocent men in the
      light of Islamic teachings ?

      OBL: This is a major point in jurisprudence. In my view, if an enemy occupies a
      Muslim territory and uses common people as human shield, then it is permitted
      to attack that enemy. For instance, if bandits barge into a home and hold a
      child hostage, then the child's father can attack the bandits and in that
      attack even the child may get hurt.

      America and its allies are massacring us in Palestine, Chechenya, Kashmir and
      Iraq. The Muslims have the right to attack America in reprisal. The Islamic
      Shariat says Muslims should not live in the land of the infidel for long. The
      Sept 11 attacks were not targeted at women and children. The real targets were
      America's icons of military and economic power.

      The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was against killing women and children.
      When he saw a dead woman during a war, he asked why was she killed ? If a child
      is above 13 and wields a weapon against Muslims, then it is permitted to kill
      him.

      The American people should remember that they pay taxes to their government,
      they elect their president, their government manufactures arms and gives them
      to Israel and Israel uses them to massacre Palestinians. The American Congress
      endorses all government measures and this proves that the entire America is
      responsible for the atrocities perpetrated against Muslims. The entire America,
      because they elect the Congress.

      I ask the American people to force their government to give up anti-Muslim
      policies. The American people had risen against their government's war in
      Vietnam. They must do the same today. The American people should stop the
      massacre of Muslims by their government.

      HM: Can it be said that you are against the American government, not the
      American people ?

      OSB: Yes! We are carrying on the mission of our Prophet, Muhammad (peace be
      upon him). The mission is to spread the word of God, not to indulge massacring
      people. We ourselves are the target of killings, destruction and atrocities. We
      are only defending ourselves. This is defensive Jihad. We want to defend our
      people and our land. That is why I say that if we don't get security, the
      Americans, too would not get security.

      This is a simple formula that even an American child can understand. This is
      the formula of live and let live.

      HM: The head of Egypt's Jamia Al-Azhar has issued a fatwa (edict) against you,
      saying that the views and beliefs of Osama bin Laden have nothing to do with
      Islam. What do you have to say about that ?

      OSB: The fatwa of any official Aalim has no value for me. History is full of
      such Ulema who justify Riba, who justify the occupation of Palestine by the
      Jews, who justify the presence of American troops around Harmain Sharifain.
      These people support the infidels for their personal gain.The true Ulema
      support the Jihad against America. Tell me if Indian forces invaded Pakistan
      what would you do? The Israeli forces occupy our land and the American troops
      are on our territory. We have no other option but to launch Jihad.

      HM: Some Western media claim that you are trying to acquire chemical and
      nuclear weapons. How much truth is there in such reports?

      OSB: I heard the speech of American President Bush yesterday (Oct 7). He was
      scaring the European countries that Osama wanted to attack with weapons of mass
      destruction. I wish to declare that if America used chemical or nuclear weapons
      against us, then we may retort with chemical and nuclear weapons. We have the
      weapons as deterrent.

      HM: Where did you get these weapons from ?

      OSB: Go to the next question.

      HM: Demonstrations are being held in many European countries against American
      attacks on Afghanistan. Thousands of the protesters were non-Muslims. What is
      your opinion about those non-Muslim protesters ?

      OSB: There are many innocent and good-hearted people in the West. American
      media instigates them against Muslims. However, some good-hearted people are
      protesting against American attacks because human nature abhors injustice.

      The Muslims were massacred under the UN patronage in Bosnia. I am ware that
      some officers of the State Department had resigned in protest. Many years ago
      the US ambassador in Egypt had resigned in protest against the policies of
      President Jimmy Carter. Nice and civilized are everywhere. The Jewish lobby has
      taken America and the West hostage.

      HM: Some people say that war is no solution to any issue. Do you think that
      some political formula could be found to stop the present war ?

      OSB: You should put this question to those who have started this war. We are
      only defending ourselves.

      HM: If America got out of Saudi Arabia and the Al-Aqsa mosque was liberated,
      would you then present yourself for trial in some Muslim country ?

      OSB: Only Afghanistan is an Islamic country. Pakistan follows the English law.
      I don't consider Saudi Arabia an Islamic country. If the Americans have charges
      against me, we too have a charge sheet against them.

      HM: Pakistan government decided to cooperate with America after Sept 11, which
      you don't consider right. What do you think Pakistan should have done but to
      cooperate with America ?

      OSB: The government of Pakistan should have the wishes of the people in view.
      It should not have surrendered to the unjustified demands of America. America
      does not have solid proof against us. It just has some surmises. It is unjust
      to start bombing on the basis of those surmises.

      HM: Had America decided to attack Pakistan with the help of India and Israel,
      what would have we done ?

      OSB: What has America achieved by attacking Afghanistan ? We will not leave the
      Pakistani people and the Pakistani territory at anybody's mercy.

      We will defend Pakistan. But we have been disappointed by Gen Pervez Musharraf.
      He says that the majority is with him. I say the majority is against him.

      Bush has used the word crusade. This is a crusade declared by Bush. It is no
      wisdom to barter off blood of Afghan brethren to improve Pakistan's economy. He
      will be punished by the Pakistani people and Allah.

        Right now a great war of Islamic history is being fought in Afghanistan. All
        the big powers are united against Muslims. It is ' sawab ' to participate in
        this war.

        HM: A French newspaper has claimed that you had kidney problem and had secretly
        gone to Dubai for treatment last year. Is that correct ?

        OSB: My kidneys are all right. I did not go to Dubai last year. One British
        newspaper has published an imaginary interview with Islamabad dateline with one
        of my sons who lives in Saudi Arabia. All this is false.

        HM: Is it correct that a daughter of Mulla Omar is your wife or your daughter
        is Mulla Omar's wife ?

        OSB: (Laughs). All my wives are Arabs ( and all my daughters are married to
        Arab Mujahideen). I have spiritual relationship with Mulla Omar. He is a great
        and brave Muslim of this age. He does not fear anyone but Allah. He is not
        under any personal relationship or obligation to me. He is only discharging his

      CHEMICAL WEAPONS

      Al Qaeda Sites Point to Tests of Chemicals
      By JAMES RISEN and JUDITH MILLER

      WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 — The United States has identified sites in Afghanistan
      that are suspected of involvement in Osama bin Laden's efforts to acquire and
      produce chemical and biological weapons, but none have been bombed since the
      military campaign began, according to American military and intelligence
      officials.
      The American bombing has spared the sites even though American intelligence
      officials believe that Al Qaeda may already have produced cyanide gas at one of
      them, a crude chemical weapons research laboratory in Derunta, a small village
      near the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad.
      American officials say the intelligence reports showing the possible production
      of small quantities of cyanide gas provide the strongest indication they have
      received of Al Qaeda's success in its efforts to develop chemical weapons.
      Cyanide gas can be used to kill small numbers of people, but it is not easily
      deployed on a large scale, officials say. The intelligence reports indicating
      cyanide gas production bolster the United States intelligence community's
      overall assessment that Al Qaeda is eager to obtain weapons of mass destruction
      but so far has only developed crude capabilities, several officials said.
      In addition to the Derunta chemical weapons site, American intelligence and
      military officials say a fertilizer plant in Mazar-i- Sharif, which the
      Northern Alliance captured on Friday, had been under the control of the Taliban
      and Al Qaeda.
      American officials say the fertilizer plant is near a compound that has been
      used by Osama bin Laden and his organization, and intelligence analysts
      suspected that Al Qaeda had been interested in the plant because its equipment
      can be used to produce either biological or chemical weapons.
      The fertilizer plant "is high on everybody's list" of sites suspected of
      involvement in Al Qaeda's chemical and biological weapons efforts, a United
      States military official said. It is not clear whether the Northern Alliance
      offensive has taken the plant out of Taliban and Al Qaeda control.
      An anthrax-vaccine site in Kabul has also raised concerns among intelligence
      analysts. The International Committee of the Red Cross had been believed to be
      operating the plant, which was established to produce vaccine for livestock in
      Afghanistan to protect them from anthrax.
      But American intelligence officials now say they do not believe the Red Cross
      controls the site, and Red Cross officials acknowledge that while it has
      provided funds for the plant, it is being operated by the Taliban's Ministry of
      Agriculture.
      A senior State Department official said that American experts had told him it
      would be difficult for Al Qaeda to use the anthrax-vaccine plant to produce
      anthrax weapons, and Red Cross officials have said the material produced in the
      laboratory is harmless. But American officials say they still believe that it
      is important to deny Al Qaeda operatives access to such a laboratory and any
      equipment it might contain.
      Senior officials at the White House, the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence
      Agency refused to say why the suspect sites have not been bombed one month into
      the American military campaign. White House officials declined to comment when
      asked if the decision not to bomb the sites represented a high-level decision
      by the administration.
      But the strategy seems at odds with President Bush's statements last week about
      the threat posed by Al Qaeda's efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction.
      In a speech on Tuesday, the president warned that Al Qaeda was "seeking
      chemical, biological and nuclear weapons," and said that if the group acquired
      such weapons it would represent "a threat to every nation and, eventually, to
      civilization itself."
      Despite the president's statements, the decision not to strike the suspect
      sites appears to result from a deep sense of caution among senior government
      officials about the quality of the intelligence collected about the sites, as
      well as the possible unintended political and diplomatic consequences of
      attacks on dual-use facilities.
      Collecting intelligence about facilities of this sort is an inexact science at
      best; intelligence officials and policy makers have learned from past mistakes
      to be wary when using such information. After the terrorist bombings of two
      American embassies in East Africa in August 1998, President Bill Clinton
      ordered cruise missile strikes on the Al Shifa pharmaceutical factory in
      Khartoum, Sudan, which officials believed was connected to Al Qaeda.
      But the United States was heavily criticized after it became clear that the
      evidence linking the plant to Al Qaeda was weak, and that the C.I.A. had been
      unaware that the plant's ownership had changed well before the cruise missile
      attack.
      The bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo war in 1999
      also haunts the C.I.A.; analysts mistakenly believed that the building was the
      headquarters of a Serbian government agency involved in weapons proliferation.
      During the Persian Gulf war, United States officials engaged in strenuous
      debates over what to do about sites in Iraq that were suspected of involvement
      in Saddam Hussein's secret program to develop weapons of mass destruction.
      There was concern about the accuracy of the intelligence, and also about
      whether bombing raids would release dangerous chemicals or biological weapons
      into the atmosphere. After the war, American officials realized that in many
      cases their information had been incorrect and they had bombed the wrong sites,
      while many of the real weapons facilities had gone unscathed.
      One official said the Bush administration was worried that complaints might be
      made charging that the United States was destroying the public health and
      agricultural sites of Afghanistan. The official added that such dual-use
      targets — which could be employed to make fertilizer and vaccines, or chemical
      weapons and anthrax — were being deliberately avoided for that reason.
      Still, Al Qaeda has shown an eagerness to use whatever weapons it can obtain
      against American targets in its terrorist operations, and that makes its
      efforts to acquire chemical and biological weapons particularly worrisome to
      United States intelligence officials.
      The official intelligence assessment is that Al Qaeda has a "crude chemical —
      and possibly biological — capability," a Pentagon official said recently. In
      addition to the small quantities of cyanide gas that it may have produced, the
      terrorist group may also have experimented with other crude poisons such as
      chlorine and phosgene.
      United States officials said that intelligence reports of possible cyanide gas
      production at the Derunta site have been received for at least a year, and
      suggest an intense effort by Al Qaeda to experiment with virtually any poison
      it can obtain. The officials added, however, that they have no evidence that
      any other countries, including Iraq, have aided Al Qaeda's efforts to obtain
      such poisons.
      In addition, they stress that they do not have definitive evidence that Al
      Qaeda has actually produced the cyanide gas at Derunta. One senior official
      said that the belief that Al Qaeda may have produced cyanide gas is based in
      part on intelligence reports showing that the terrorist group has obtained
      instruction manuals on how to produce such poisons.
      Intelligence officials also stress that cyanide gas would be very difficult to
      turn into an effective large- scale terrorist weapon, since it is hard to
      transport and would dissipate rapidly in a large open space. And intelligence
      officials say they do not believe that Al Qaeda has yet found a way to make
      weapons from the poison.
      "The

        "They do have some primitive capabilities, but the problem is weaponizing," a
        senior official said. "All of the evidence is that they have not been able to
        do that."
        Meanwhile, a senior Bush administration official said that there had been
        concerns about reports of suspicious activity at the fertilizer plant in Mazar-
        i-Sharif for some time. The plant may have been spared in anticipation of a
        Northern Alliance takeover of the town, an administration official said.
        The anthrax vaccine plant in Kabul has received more attention since the United
        States military campaign began, in part because of concerns over whether Al
        Qaeda is behind the anthrax letters in the United States. American intelligence
        officials say they have no evidence linking Al Qaeda and the anthrax letters.

        But the alarm over the use of anthrax as a weapon has heightened American
        concerns over the presence of the laboratory in Kabul. In fact, American
        national security officials say they were taken by surprise when they learned
        after Sept. 11 that the Red Cross had provided funds to refurbish the plant in
        1997, after the Taliban had come to power.

      Putin Urges A 'New Level' of the Trust With America

      By MICHAEL WINES

      OSCOW, Nov. 10 — Days before a much-anticipated meeting with President Bush,
      President Vladimir V. Putin called tonight for Russia and the United States to
      bury the vestiges of their cold war suspicions and form an alliance with "a
      qualitatively new level" of trust.
      Underscoring that, he said emphatically that Russia did not regard the
      mushrooming role of the United States in Central Asia, the heartland of the
      former Soviet Union, as either a strategic or an economic threat.
      While he offered no details, Mr. Putin also said he was "very optimistic" that
      the two nations would eventually strike a deal to rewrite the 30-year-old rules
      of nuclear-arms control fundamentally.
      In a broad-ranging interview with American journalists in the Kremlin's
      presidential library, Mr. Putin clearly intended to set a high tone for his
      American visit, which includes a two-day stopover at Mr. Bush's ranch in Texas
      next week.
      He said several times that he felt not only that he and Mr. Bush had
      established a close personal relationship, but also that the Sept. 11 terrorist
      attacks on the United States had given their nations a common cause and the
      seeds of a lasting alliance.
      "We would like our joint struggle against terrorism to lead to positive
      results, that terrorism not only in Afghanistan but the entire world be
      destroyed, uprooted, liquidated," Mr. Putin said. Only a coordinated strategy
      will allow civilized nations to respond quickly and adequately to what promises
      to be a long campaign against terrorists, he said.
      "It is quite obvious to any objective observer," he said, "that we can find an
      effective response to these challenges only if we pull our efforts together."
      Beyond that, Mr. Putin said both nations must shed "the fears of the past"
      linked to their cold war rivalry, and accept that they now share not only
      democratic values and ambitions, but also the same commitment to market
      economics.
      Americans who think otherwise, he said, "simply do not understand the way the
      world has changed."
      Perhaps his most striking example was Russia's new attitude in the former
      Soviet nations of Central Asia, where the growing American military presence
      has convinced many Russian military officials and private experts that
      Washington wants to push Moscow out of its historic sphere of influence.
      Mr. Putin rejected that argument as an example of cold war thinking that
      automatically pits the United States and Russia as rivals. In fact, he said,
      their common cause against terrorism and their increasing cooperation in
      developing oil fields in the area make clear that they have common interests.
      "What was important in the former system of coordinates and the former
      reference framework now is losing its importance," he said. "If Russia is now
      becoming a full- fledged member of the international community, then we must
      not fear, and we will not fear, the development of relations between its
      neighbors and other countries and nations."
      "The times have long gone when Russia viewed the world as needing a
      confrontational approach," he said. "We are not for this. We are quite the
      opposite now."
      He also called for Russia and the United States to move toward settlements on
      other issues that have divided them, led by the yearlong standoff over
      Washington's plans to build a limited national missile defense.
      He said Russia was prepared to negotiate changes in the 1972 Antiballistic
      Missile Treaty, which prohibits national defenses against missiles, "when we
      see specific options" from American experts, something he said had yet to occur.
      "It will be up to the political leaders to make a choice between different
      options, and I am very optimistic that they can be found," he said.
      Mr. Putin reiterated Russia's opposition to a proposal that would expand the
      NATO alliance to include three Baltic nations — Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia,
      which once were part of the Soviet Union.
      But at the same time, he suggested that a shift of NATO's mission away from the
      purely defensive alliance that once opposed Soviet force, and toward a group
      that combats international terrorism and weapons proliferation, could "rekindle
      the nature of the alliance."
      Russia could offer a great deal to such an organization, he said.
      "I can tell you frankly that I have certain ideas of a general nature," he
      said. "I can't elaborate on them now, but they are very promising."
      Asked tonight whether he believed a claim by Osama bin Laden that the Qaeda
      organization possesses nuclear and chemical weapons, Mr. Putin said such

      terrorist hands.
