Yemen: USA are fighting against democracy, not against Al-Qaeda
by
Michel Collon, Grégoire Lalieu | Brussels (Belgium) |
Yemen, one of the world’s poorest countries and a crucial US ally, is beleaguered by an armed resistance and a secessionist movement that are threatening its stability and trigger a possible spillover. The United States might thus run the risk of losing control of this much coveted region, which Washington intends to destabilize anyway, but on its own terms. In the following interview conducted by two Belgian journalists for Investig’Action, Mohammed Hassan analyses the present imbroglio from a historical angle, concluding that the Al Qaeda terrorist threat is only an excuse; what is really unfolding is the undermining of democracy in the Gulf in order to keep control over its oil.

Surprising number of passengers on Flight AA77 that allegedly hit the Pentagon had military connections
by
Pino Cabras | Rome (Italy) |
Many are the inconsistencies concerning Flight AA77 which allegedly struck the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. on September 11, 2001. We will not enumerate them here; other articles on this site already provide a detailed list of them. But new elements have recently emerged, resulting from investigations carried out by independent journalists. We reproduce below an extract from Strategie per una guerra mondiale, a book by Pino Cabras. It brings to light the inordinate proportion of passengers on board Flight 77 who had ties with the military sector and who were officially reported dead on September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon.
Mutual suspicions
India-Pakistan Relations Post-Mumbai Terrorist Attacks
by
Ishtiaq Ahmed | Singapore |
India is convinced that Pakistan was directly involved in the attacks against the Indian Parliament in 2001 and those perpetrated in Mumbai in 2008. This dispute is further added to other long-standing ones, notably the Kashmir issue. Pakistan, for one, is persudaded that India is fanning the flames of Balouch separatism and manipulating the Afghan Government to catch it off guard. Professor Ishtiaq Ahmed outlines the rise of mistrust and notes that the United States has positioned itself as the arbiter. The US is suspected of driving each group to commit heinous acts while it stays above the fray and out of harm’s way.
