Swiss uncover al-Qaeda cells in the Magic Kingdom ...
2003-12-13
Swiss security forces have uncovered a number of Al-Qaeda cells planning terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia, Al-Watan Arabic daily reported yesterday quoting Swiss judicial sources.
The chocolate people can find them and the Soddies can't?
The Swiss authorities were alerted to the terrorist cells while tapping telephone conversations of Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. Khalid Sheikh was arrested in Pakistan last March and has been extradited to the US. “Investigations identified telephone numbers of incoming and outgoing calls from Khaled Sheikh’s phone,” the paper said, adding the Al-Qaeda operative used dozens of cell phones until September 2002.
And they followed up on these...
Swiss intelligence knows about Al-Qaeda cells, some of them operating in Asia, who are preparing to carry out explosions in the Kingdom, the paper said.

#3  Swiss banks need to be transparent. They are in bed with all pack of thieves and thugs. Lending an air of respectability to them. If there is a target that needs to be hit, it's a Swiss bank.

#1  Ah, leave it to the Green Truth to toss out such an interesting tidbit, yet provide no worthwhile details. It's weird mixing the Cuckoo & Magic Kingdoms... Dan's comments are perfect. Classic understatement!
