Transport of Weapons of Mass Destruction to Iran by Israel and Britain
Dr. Alexander von Paleske | 14.04.2006 21:51 | Anti-militarism
How the Israeli Secret Service Shin Bet and the British Mi6 facilitated the transport of material for the production of weapons of mass destruction to Iran -not so long ago-, and what the failed coup in Equatorial Guinea in 2004 has to do with it.
Two years ago, a coup attempt was staged to topple the government of Equatorial
Guinea, the third largest oil producer in Africa and it's President Obiang Mbasogo Nguema.
Involved in that coup attempt was also Mark Thatcher, son of Maggie, who pleaded later guilty for having violated South Africa's anti-mercenary laws.
And not to forget, Simon Mann, ex SAS man, still in Zimbabwe prison and formerly closely associated with the South African mercenary company Executive Outcomes and the British mercenary company Sandline, then owned by British businessman Tony Buckingham.
Buckingham is also founder of and director in Heritage Oil, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and former director of DiamondWorks, listed on the Vancouver Stock exchange.
Transportation officer for that failed coup was allegedly a German by the name of Gerhard Merz.
Gerhard Merz died a few days after his arrest on 17th March 2004 in the Black Beach prison in Equatorial Guinea's capital city Malabo, allegedly after having been tortured.
The German Foreign office tried it's level best, to put the whole affair under the carpet.
In June 2005, I visited the widow of Gerhard Merz.
The widow, who had little idea, what her late husband was doing, gave me a letter, sent by a Greg Wales to the former employer of Gerhard Merz, ACL Frankfurt, an airfreight company, which hired the Armenian crew and the plane, that was supposed to transport the mercenaries to Malabo.
CEO of that company is a Thomas Rinnert, former business associate of popstar Michael Jackson.
When Thomas Rinnert was contacted about this E-Mail, he said, he wants to bring together the widow of Gerhard Merz with Mark Thatcher, obviously unaware of the implications of his comment.
At this stage the name Thatcher was not yet mentioned.
The E-Mail clearly implicates Greg Wales, a close friend of the Thatcher family, who has always denied having been involved in the failed coup.
Gerhard Merz was formerly involved in the transportation of raw material for the production of weapons of mass destruction (Nerve gas Mustard and Sarin) from China to Iran from 1992-1994 together with the international criminal Moshe Regenstreich, alias Regev, a former Captain in the Israeli army.
The transportation of raw material and "Know How"for the production of weapons of mass destruction was done with the active support of the Israeli secret service Shin Bet.
Rgenstreich/Regev and Merz were organizing the transport from their company Mainway in Bad Homburg, 15 kilometers north of Frankfurt (M)/Germany.
It is unlikely, that the German Secret Service Bundesnachrichtenndienst (BND)was not aware of the activities of the two men.
Parallel to this group, another group was also transporting raw material for the production of weapons of mass destruction (Sarin, Mustard) from China to Iran, an Israeli by the name of Nahum Manbar and a British Mi6 agent by the name of Richard Tomlinson. Both in cohort with the Israeli secret service Shin Bet and the British Mi6.
The Iranian counterpart was a Dr. Abbaspour. He worked closely together with an Austrain by the name of Manfred Felber, married to an Iranian woman and living in Tehran.
Nahum Manbar was later sentenced to 15 years in prison in Israel, because he did the transport of raw material for the production of weapons of mass destruction and "Know How" longer, than the Israeli government wanted it. At this time the Hizbollah in Southern Lebanon for the first time used conventional weapons, that were once supplied to Iran by Israel.
At the same time, from 1991 onwards, UN weapons inspectors were searching for the same type of weapons in Iraq.
One has to ask, why the Israeli and the British government went on this journey.
The only answer I have, is, that they wanted to create a case for war with Iran, already at this early stage.
In this case, unlike in Iraq, the weapons of mass destruction would have been found.

UH ---- I haven't a clue about why Britain might have been helping Iran during the Iran-Iraq war but the Israelis were doing so because the Iraqis were their enemies and they had never had a shooting conflict with the non-Arab Iranians.
The idea that countries might find themselves in conflict with countries they were allied with 20-30 years before should NOT be a strange concept to you. This is after all the British site and in WWII Britain fought against two of the countries it was allied with in WWI (Japan and Italy). But in the Middle East alignments often have a LONG history. Which makes it seem strange to both Jews and Persians that after ~2500 years of always being on the same side they might get into a hot war (yelling at each other is another matter -- even allies do that).

Oil, Money, and keeping the region destabilized internally, so that the Brits could profiteer and entice corrupt Regimes with weapons, and nobody would pay that much attention to them.
"but the Israelis were doing so because the Iraqis were their enemies and they had never had a shooting conflict with the non-Arab Iranians."
And they wanted to keep the region destabilized, maximize the number of dead Arabs, and make BILLIONS or more by acting as a Third Party to illegal arms sales from the US.

Manbar wurde spaeter in Israel zu 15 Jahren Gefaengnis verurteilt, weil er die Transporte, entgegen den Wuenschen der israelischen Regierung, ueber 1994 hinaus weiterfuehrte. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt tauchten zum ersten Mal bei der Hizbollah im Libanon konventionelle Waffen auf, die Israel seinerzeit an den Iran geliefert hatte.
Anything to make the Brits, and particularly the Jews, bad, eh?

and "know how" were delivered to Iran.
Remember, "Desert Storm" was in 1991.
At the time, the material and "know how" for the production of weapons of mass
destruction were delivered to Iran, Iraq was defeated and the UN Inspectors were
searching for these weapons of mass destruction in neighbouring Iraq.
2. I wrote clearly, that Nahum Manbar was sentenced to prison in Israel ( however not in
1994 but in 1999).
Nahum Manbar was sentenced, because he delivered the weapons of mass destruction
longer, than the Israeli Government wanted it.
