Warning: The chronology of events might be a little incorrect, as I cannot guarantee that I remember everything in the proper order.
I took my 17 months old grand daughter out in her pram on Thursday 10th of August 2006, in the late afternoon, when I saw a Police van, with “white” Police people inside, parked on Queen’s Road, Walthamstow, London E17, on the other side of the road opposite newly-built Masjid Umer, an ex-synagogue, and one “white” Policemen and a “white” Policewoman in faction in front of a house occupied by Asians. In another house a bulky “white” man in plain clothes was standing at the open door and watching the Masjid. Two “white” photographers were on each side of the road pacing up and down. As the Police officers and the man in plain clothes were inside private properties, I decided not to approach them and took out my digital camera and shot a few pictures when I saw four “black” persons (youths) address the two Police officers and then those inside the van. They burst out laughing (rire aux éclats) and seemed to have a jolly good time with the Police officers although the atmosphere seemed all tense because I was asking myself whether the Police had not closed down the Masjid, but I saw a few persons still heading towards the Masjid for worship.
When Masjid-goers were emerging out of the Masjid, I asked one of them what the matter was. I was engaged in a conversation with him (it seems that women are not allowed in this Masjid) when another one barged in and addressed me visibly not happy, but there was neither loud discussion nor any verbal violence. I asked him to tell the Muslims that Israel is behind this Terror Alert again as they have blackmailed England into joining them in their war of aggression and genocidal campaign, otherwise they will face severe attacks from Israeli government or “uncontrolled” factions that might even blow up numerous planes over Europe using their “new” weapons of mass destruction that they are actually experimenting in Lebanon and Palestine. This scenario, and not a “conspiracy theory”, looks very plausible. I told him that Alex Jones* had predicted in July 2001 that the US government would attack the Trade Centre and accuse Usama Bin Ladin of the attack, and it happened as predicted except for one thing, that the Israeli were behind the attacks. So, if planes will be blown up, Muslims will be the scapegoats. Suddenly, a bulky “white” Police officer crossed the road and addressed me not very courteously, which already instinctively put me on the defensive. I did not appreciate his interference, as he did not address the one who seemed to be aggressive, but I remained civil. I only had time to notice his number, 520. When questioned, I answered (probably amongst other things) that I was talking to MY people, and asked him if this was forbidden. He did not answer and went back to the other side of the road. I left with my grandchild heading towards Tesco on Hoe Street.
* Alex Jones lied because it was Martyr Milton William Cooper who made that prediction somewhere in June 2001 and Alex knew about it as he had interviewed Cooper himself, but he falsely claimed he made the prediction instead of Cooper.

As I do not watch television and was not on the Internet for some time, I was not aware of the alleged “Muslim Terror Plot” and of the nth arrest of “Muslim Terror suspects”. The new western diktat is that all suspects are guilty until proven innocent. According to new government ukases, the Police (some trained in Israel, I am told) can shoot on site, up to 11 bullets on unarmed civilians. Is it a coincidence that I never hear of Jewish, Christian or Homosexual Terror suspects or criminals being arrested, their families molested, and their “religion” (way of life), or gunned down by Police or the Secret Services?
A neighbour tipped me off about the current situation and stressed that the Muslim worshippers were being harassed day and night and terrorized by Police and others armed with machine guns at 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning, Fajar Salaat time, and added that many worshippers do not turn up to the Masjid any more. By the way, the only people attending Masjids are usually local small business people and their families, mostly simple-minded guys who are for the most part collaborators with the Local authorities, and are absolutely harmless, and they do not represent the Muslims at large.

I was told later on that Police had arrested several “Muslims” suspected of plotting to blow up many passenger planes. My first reaction was – another fake government Terror Alert in order to distract the people’s attention from the mass murder perpetrated in Lebanon and Palestine by the Nazis from Zionist Israel (with UN blessings) and other genocide to come (Syria, Iran, etc.!). I learned that Daryl Bradford Smith, Eric Husfschmid (and Alex Jones) had already denounced the Fake British Terror Alert reminding their audience that the USA had acknowledged 50 such Terror Alerts in the past years to be absolutely as fake as the British ones, made only to re-establish the popularity of the leaders and rally public opinion behind such mass-murderers as George W. Bush and Tony Blair! Only the notorious lying media (Zionists are masters of deception) can continue to pretend that those Terror Alerts are not fakes! When the media are allowed to publish the names of the “suspects”, the message is quite clear! THE SUSPECT IS GUILTY IN ADVANCE AND NO EVIDENCE IS REQUIRED!
The next day, 11.8.2006, I had an appointment after the Friday prayers. I am one of those very few Muslims who do not attend mosques, but do attend the Catholic Church every now and then! While waiting, I ventured down Queen’s Road alone as I had heard repeated Police sirens and helicopter noise. (For several years Police have been sounding their sirens in the area dozens of times each day, apparently to instill fear in the community or make people get use to it for the day Martial Law will be finally established in the UK like the Zionists have planned for the USA and other western nations.) A neighbour had told me that the place was packed with Police and television cameras. On the way, Geneviève (Independent) approached me, and Jane (The Times). We had a chat. When we arrived at the spot, what I saw was absolutely revolting. The Police had invested the Masjid and well-equipped television crews were all over the place. Police in plain clothes mingled with the worshippers and performed salaat, I was later told. When the Masjid worshippers came out of the mosque, cameras went into action. I said to Jane/Geneviève something like: “Where are all the sexy girls? It’s not at all interesting to make all that fuss for such a pathetic crowd!”
It seems to me that Jane/Geneviève asked me permission to film me while she was asking me a few questions. I was very upset by what I had just seen, an absolute violation of Muslims’ right to worship in peace, and not under the guns of shoot-to-kill assassins, and said whatever came to my mind. But, I remember clearly saying that this was a fake government Terror Alert announcing an impending major government sponsored terrorist attack on the British people like the Zionist orchestrated one on 7/7 or like 9/11 in the USA that was carried out by MOSSAD-CIA. When asked how I knew that, I answered because I do not watch television or read the controlled Zionist media. I added that the USA has arrogantly acknowledged (boasted) about 50 government orchestrated Fake Terror Alerts. I also said that I had known Britain to be the most civilized and tolerant country in Europe (obviously a colossal blunder!), but that now it had turned into a Fascist State like France and the US.
Another journalist came to me (Libération, France) just outside the Masjid, and we spoke in French. I told him that if he was one of those racist Zionist journalists of the French media, he should know that the Zionist-Jews, Israel and the Lubavitchis are behind this Fake Terror Alert. I told him that the Israelis Nazis want England to join in their genocidal war effort, and have most probably blackmailed the British Government into cooperating or suffer dire consequences, for example the blowing up of numerous planes over Europe, but, as soon as he heard the magical words “Jews…Zionists…Luibavitchis…Israel…”), he excused himself and said he was going to hear what the Imâm who had just come out of the Masjid had to say, saying that he would come back to me later, but he never did.
I went back to Jane/Geneviève on the other side of the road. I heard a journalist question a man with a beard while taking notes. His colleague was writing in short hand. I took a picture of them and proceeded back to the other side of the road.

There, I stood behind (slightly by the side) of a cameraman and took a shot when a young 'Asian' approached me and asked me politely to leave the pavement in order not to obstruct the worshippers who were coming out of the Masjid. He addressed me as “uncle”. But, I was annoyed because, first, I was not obstructing anybody and, then, that young man seemed to be monitoring only the Asian (allegedly Muslim) crowd! I said something like:
“Why
don’t you say the same thing to the Rupert Murdoch’s mafia who is
filming even your women in hijaab or to the Police who is causing a
public disturbance by their mere provocative presence. The Police are
terrorizing the Muslim communities all over England making the British
people hate the Muslims the more."
He immediately released me. Other officers were watching, but did not intervene. I was not in the way at all, but other people were on the pavement while I was on the side, as the picture I had taken at that very moment tends to show. I went back to the other side of the road and informed Jane or Geneviève about this incident. They were surprised and left me to go to the other side to carry on with their job.

I have seen the British government, at National and Local levels, use Jews (or vice versa), Blacks and Asian collaborators to discriminate against Muslims who do not submit to their diktat. I am one such victim. When I object, I am accused of “racism and anti-Semitism”, and the discrimination has been going on for years, mainly through the bogus bodies called the Commission of Racial Equality (CRE) and its “Equal Opportunities” vassal. I have witnessed so many times the hatred of Blacks, including Black Evangelical Zionist Christians, for anything Muslim and Arab, even in their literature. Several years back, when I had invited the Police to my Black ghetto following an attack of Christian Blacks on Muslim Asians at the Hackney Marsh Sunday Market, and showed them the racist anti-Muslim (and anti-Catholic) literature portraying Muhammad as a Mercenary Terrorist paid by the Pope, and the Pope as Satan himself, the two “white” officers said that they had all the rights because they were in England, a country of “Free Speech”.
It is impossible to walk down the streets of Walthamstow without being aggressed verbally and sometimes pushed about by Blacks, especially Black women, even with my granddaughter in her pram while the Whites, Asians and North Africans will normally show all kinds of courtesy. The hatred of some Blacks can be easily spotted in their face as well as in their unwarranted aggressive behaviour. The government is responsible for this anti-Muslim racism as it has made England into a land of hatred against Muslims and Arabs, and this visceral hatred is increasing against innocent Muslims and their families who are systematically targeted by the Gestapo-like Police on a daily basis, imprisoned, tortured, demonized, as well as their religion Islam.
It is obvious that this is again a Fake Terror Alert to boost the popularity of mass-murderers and war criminals Tony Blair (Knight of Malta ?) and George W. Bush (Knight of Eulogia ?). Blair was risking a Coup d’État anytime! To the look of it he is preparing for Martial Law and for another major government sponsored terrorist attack on the British people in order to stir hatred against Muslims and Arabs in order to distract the people from the real national and international issues.
However, the most vicious attack did not come from the Police, but from a group of Asian (Muslim) thugs (probably on the payroll of the British Secret Services) who threatened to “punch me in the face”, swore at me several times using the f… word, knocked me on purpose in order to provoke a reaction, told me to “f… off otherwise there will be blood” with the Police standing only a few yards from them. No officer moved. It is the very first time that I felt my life so closely threatened. I had to use my skills in order to divert attention away from me, but the “Secret Service” Asian ring leader was watching me closely from the other side of the road while I was talking to a couple of very young lads. They came over to me. They were a group of about 15 youth led by the B.S.S.(British Secret Service) agent provocateur. This confirmed my suspicion that the Masjid or a group of Asian close to the Masjid and working for the British Secret Services had in fact staged that event.
So, for the alleged “Terror plotters”, as usual Police will find no evidence at all, and will have to release the “guilty-suspects” after having destroyed their career and provoked their anger and that of their family! But, some of them might one day take their revenge! Or the Police will concoct “evidence” or make other false charges like, for example, “one of the suspects have been found to access child pornography on the Internet”, or “a book on Al-Qaeda (The CIA-MOSSAD Terrorist cells) was found in one of the suspects’ house”, etc.! This is what the government is actually doing, creating “des bombes à retardement”! They are lucky that their victims are not yet armed! But, as the saying goes: “Chickens always come home to roost!”
When Bush was told that America was under attack, he did not move a finger nor bat an eyelid, and all he did when he awoke from his deep sleep was to speak of vengeance against Iraq and Afghanistan and a Holy Jewish-Christian War on Islam and Muslims - Operation Infinite Justice! When Blair is now told that there exists a plot to blow up several planes, what does he do? He discusses the matter with the other war criminal Bush and then goes on holiday while Bush joins the orgy party (normally with male porn stars) at Bohemian Grove! Both Blair and Bush orchestrated this Government Fake Terror Alert in advance for their own benefits! What does this tell people like me who are not mind controlled by the Zionist media? Blair has obviously planned this coup with Bush well before he went on holidays. Or Can he be running away from a possible coup d’état from his enemies? The (obvious) reason why Blair keeps enjoying his holidays is because he has staged this masquerade himself and knows that there would not be any risk of any highjacking of planes at all!
Muslims are not that stupid! If they had the technology and the superhuman skills like the ones they have been accused of possessing during 9/11, they would not attack innocent people or civilians (it’s against their religion by the way) but use those deadly weapons against the invading Israeli and Allied European armies of assassins in their own lands!!!!!!!
The greatest Holocaust of modern history is that of Muslims with over one hundred million casualties and the quasi totality of their countries stolen, devastated and controlled by the western super powers with their people enslaved and groping under political and cultural terrorism. Because none of them is adequately armed (most of them are literally unarmed), the west got away with the worse genocides of the past two centuries by attacking totally defenseless nations, and label all Muslim resistance to their invading and occupying armies of murderers as Islamic fascism or Islamic terrorism, Islamists, Fundamentalists, Fanatics, etc. As for the Masjids, there are no and there has never been any “Muslim Terrorists” in anyone of them that are run by the local communities. There may be some however that are actually run by MI5 and MI6, like the one in Finsburry Park, I am told, or like the one run by homosexuals.
Slaves
(“house-Negroes”) of the local and national government run most of the
Masjids where no free speech is allowed (except for MPs, Police and
other government officials), while synagogues and churches can do
practically anything they want without ever being bothered by the
authorities, from raising funds for the army of Israeli assassins and
to finance insurrections of Christian minorities in the third world, to
political campaigns run directly from their places of worship.
I have attended many times Catholic churches in Paris, Colombes and Neuilly-sur-Seine, until the day I got disgusted because the Zionists had taken over all of them!
Often Muslims have hated and shunned me because of my Hindu, Jewish and Christian tendencies, but that is the Being I am and I will never change my Hindu-Israelite-Christian-Islamic Religion for all the gold in the world. It is known world-wide that 40 million Zionist Anti-Christians (Evangelical) are setting up a powerful lobby in the USA in order to support the criminal war of Eretz Israel and their extermination campaigns of the Palestinian and other Arab peoples in order to be “raptured” and to hasten the coming of their Jewish Messiah, but not of Jesus Christ. So, let Britain continue labeling Muslims as terrorists, fascists, fundamentalists, fanatics and what not when in fact Muslims are the true victims of British and western terrorism and genocidal policies. The west has Terrorist Camps all over their lands, where they train the worst criminals on planet earth, but they call those camps Military Academies! The west manufactures, sells and uses weapons of mass destruction while they fight tooth and nail to prevent Muslims from arming themselves against invading armies from both East and West. But, one day will have to be payback day! The West cannot exterminate all the one billion + Muslims in the world! Or can it? They will exterminate more than five billion people as they have planned only if we allow them to do so without a fight, an economic and an armed struggle, but not any kind of sterile pacifist talks! The West invented the term “peace-process” which in real fact means the continuation of war and of the status quo while they remain the real masters and destroyers of the planet and its habitat.
However, the persecution, humiliation and demonization of Muslims in Britain (and in the West) will continue as long as the Muslims do not stand up for their rights as equal citizens! For the time being, only collaborators (traitors) enjoy some privileges until their masters turn on them and their families and murder them also without any pity. From pseudo-democracy to fascism, Britain has not changed much however, the same old bloody imperialist thanks to mainly Zionist bankers! But, Islam is a force. Islam is power. Islam is to lead not to be led. Islam is for slaves and the oppressed to free themselves. Islam is for the free not to ever let them be oppressed and enslaved. Islam cannot ever be destroyed as it is in every man and woman that comes to life on this planet. Sooner or later it comes out from all the pores of all freedom fighters, fighters against all kinds of injustices, and not for nationalism, socialism, liberalism or democracy. Islam is the latest greatest gift the world has ever been granted by the Almighty powers that gave life and meaning to everything. The Holy Qur’ân remains forever the most powerful Book and the Best ever Book that has reached Mankind (and Jinnkind).
I do not expect this cold and lucid (there is no anger) report (“compte-rendu”) to be published by the “Independent” or “The Times”, or by any of Rupert Murdoch’s controlled media, but for sure it will be published somewhere unless who you know shoots me first. I had to put these notes in writing before I forget while waiting for the impending Third World War, the Fourth Reich that Britain and the USA have in store for us! What Jewish Ashkenazi Michael Stepanovitch Drinkin told me back in the sixties about his people taking over the whole world is coming true! By the way, if anyone could consult Benjamin Harrison Freedman’s speech of 1961, it will become crystal clear who is behind all major wars, revolutions, famines, holocausts, crashes, meteorological disasters, and how Britain sold Palestine to the Zionist Nazis, non Semitic Ashkenazi-Jews, and Talmudists-Zoharists-Kolnidrists who pretend to be of Semitic stock, the worst criminals this world has known. Those “Jewish Supremacists” have highjacked and monopolized the term “Semitism”! They want to reign supreme over the USA, Europe and the Middle East, to begin with. Those Arab and Muslim haters have almost succeeded in the first two instances, but with the Middle East, in time they will be dealt with accordingly by the Arabs - Christians, Muslims and Atheists and all non-Jews alike, hopefully or God willing as Believers say! How long can their divide-and-rule tactics continue to work, and how long can the west send their sons and daughters to die for Eretz Israel?

P.S. Wednesday 16th of August 2006 at 00h15 AM. I rang 999 and asked the Police why the Police is sounding their sirens every 5-10 minutes on Hoe Street day and night preventing at least me from sleeping. The answer was that they are saving lives. I asked from whom? The answer was that people are calling in and 999 has to dispatch Police to save lives! From whom, I asked? No answer. I said this is harassment and Police is provoking and scaring us. Are we in a state of war? This morning I heard the Police siren at 5.15 AM.
- Today 6th of September 2006 Police sirens have not stopped! They would start and stop their sirens right in front of you for 5-10 seconds dozens of times every day!
- Today Thursday 30th August 2007, the sirens have not ceased blasting day and night for the past months as if we were under imminent attack!

It will attain world domination by the dissolution of other races...and by the establishment of a world republic in which everywhere the Jews will exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order the Children of Israel...will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition..."

Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Many people think "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is anti Semitic "hate literature" and a fraud. Nobel Prize winner Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote that the book exhibits "the mind of genius." This is pretty unusual for a fraud. He said it exhibits "great strength of thought and insight. Its design is well above the abilities of an ordinary mind...It is more complicated than a nuclear bomb."
Barry Chamish est un Juif israélien (traumatisé par les massacres israéliens) qui a participé directement ou indirectement au massacre des Palestiniens du Liban et ailleurs, Sabra et Chatilla et autres. J’ai correspondu avec lui tout récemment par Email, mais nous nous sommes disputés quand je lui ai rappelé ses crimes au Liban. Je vous donne la conclusion d’un de ses articles « KERRY, GAZA AND THE NEW JEWISH SABBATEAN HOLOCAUST » que je viens de trouver sur le site : http://vaticanassassins.org/sabbateans.htm
Faites vos recherches et voyez vous-même si ce ne sont pas des Juifs et des Juifs criminels qui dirigent les affaires du monde selon les Protocoles ... ?
“To prove the Gaza withdrawal is a gesture of war, consider what could have been done. Next door to Gaza is the 36,000 sq. mile Sinai Peninsula, which Egypt has been using to funnel-tunnel weapons against Israel, obviously in contravention of its supposed peace treaty with Israel. The population of the Sinai is under 50,000 and if anyone actually wanted to bring peace to the region, a viable Palestinian state could be established there.
[How true! But the Order's "foreign elite," controlled by the Pope, do not want peace - not quite yet. The withdrawal from Gaza - a land given by God to the tribe of Judah - is not only a gesture but rather a guarantee to another coming war in Israel, as was the Versailles Treaty the foundation for a subsequent war in defeated and plundered apostate Protestant Germany. In further igniting the present Anglo-American-led Papal Crusade against Islam, several CIA-pre-placed nuclear devices will be detonated on US soil in the near future. The Moslems will be blamed via the Order's CIA-controlled Al Qaeda Terrorist Network, and Mecca, Medina and the Jerusalem Mosques will reduced to rubble to the infinite delight of the Black Pope and the White Pope - the successor of the soon-to-be-deceased Pope John Paul II.]”
Barry Chamish est d’avis que l’État palestinien devrait être établi dans le désert du Sinaï!!!!!!! En d’autres mots, que la Palestine devrait être nettoyée ethniquement de ses habitants arabes, musulmans, et chrétiens selon le cas !!!!!!! En fait, il aurait dû intituler son article L’HOLOCAUSTE OU LA SHOAH PALESTINIEN !
C’est aussi ce que désire l’ATAFRANK MUSTAPHA SARKOZY (unique survivant de la Shoah de Salonique !) de la France kémaliste (laïcque), ainsi que son Frère Lustiger le Juif-Chrétien qui a failli être Pape à la place du Pape !

I AM NOT POSTING THIS LOOKING FOR SYMPATHY!
I revealed to the press and Scotland Yard and to a personal friend “Lord” Ahmed Nazir of the House of Lords a similar case back in 2001-2002 of which I was the main victim, but I was ignored completely by one and all including by the Muslim religious leadership and so-called charitable organisations who were in cahoots with the government at both national and local level.
Amir Chowdury of Ilford, the suspected MI5/MI6 Pakistani informant (a Pakistani Muslim who bragged he had been sleeping with 18 women of all nationalities!) who was also my Martial Art teacher and who I made my business partner |(before I knew about his private life!) walked away with around £30,000 worth of our capital and my Honda Civic car and the POLICE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! HE WAS NOT EVEN INVESTIGATED! He also bragged that he was “UNTOUCHABLE”!
Craig Monteilh and ‘Muslim’ crook Amir Chowdury of Ilford should be put in the same basket!
The reason why I have not attended masjid (mosque), at least since 2006, it is because I SAW the masajid (Mosques) being infiltrated by Secret agents (MI5, MI6…) and by ‘Muslim’ informants and collaborators.
And, Muslims say they are free to practice their religion in France, Britain and in America! Muslims are not free to practice Islam even in most MUSLIM countries!

It was after 10 p.m. on July 8, 2009, when Sandra Mansour answered her cellphone to the panicked voice of her daughter-in-law, Nasreen. A week earlier, Nasreen and her husband, Naji Mansour, had been detained in the southern Sudanese city of Juba by agents of the country's internal security bureau. In the days since, Sandra had been desperately trying to find out where the couple was being held. Now Nasreen was calling to say that she'd been released—driven straight to the airport and booked on a flight to her native Kenya—but Naji remained in custody. He was being held in a dark, squalid basement cell, with a bucket for a bathroom and a dense swarm of mosquitoes that attacked his body as he slept. "You have to get him out of there," Nasreen said. But she was unfamiliar with Juba and could only offer the barest details about where they'd been held. "He's in a blue building. You've seen it. It's not far from your hotel."
Sandra remembered passing a blue warehouse ringed by tall, razor-wire-topped fences. She hung up and turned to her daughter, Tahani, who'd flown to Juba to assist in tracking down her brother: "We've gotta go look for Naji." They packed food, water, and bug spray in case they found him. Then Sandra and Tahani laced up their sneakers, retrieved a flashlight, and slipped out onto a pitch-dark, deserted road.
Sudan's long-running civil war had ended a few years earlier, and Juba, once a malarial backwater on the White Nile, was poised to become the capital of the world's newest nation, South Sudan. The city had grown into a boomtown, its expansion fueled by newly discovered oil and an influx of foreign aid. Shacks and half-built concrete structures lined its maze of narrow, trash-strewn streets, and entrepreneurs rented out converted storage sheds for as much as $100 per night. Sandra, a US government contractor, lived in one of them.
The upstart city had a Wild West atmosphere. Rifle- and grenade-wielding bandits occasionally stormed poorly guarded compounds, and violent muggings and carjackings were commonplace. It was not safe to drive after dark, let alone walk, but Sandra and Tahani were desperate. "It was a very crazy thing to do," Sandra later recalled. "But it was the first lead we had, and there was nothing that was gonna stop us."
"He said, 'We want you to work with us. You have what it takes. You're the perfect candidate.' This is the shit you see in movies."
But that was before Naji landed in the crosshairs of the FBI and the family's comfortable expat existence started coming undone. For several months, Naji had been repeatedly interviewed by American authorities, detained and interrogated by Kenyan counterterrorism police, and ultimately forced into exile in Juba. Now he had vanished into a basement dungeon.
When Sandra and Tahani reached the blue warehouse, it appeared deserted. They circled it, then attempted to scale a back gate. When that failed, they shouted Naji's name into the lightless building.
Naji couldn't hear them. He was locked up about five miles away in another blue building, a Sudanese intelligence facility near a rocky outcropping called Witch Mountain. There, he was questioned repeatedly about whether he had ties to terrorism or Al Qaeda. The Sudanese interrogators threatened to kill him if he didn't tell them what he knew, and he could hear the screams of other prisoners being beaten.
Two weeks into his detention, Naji's jailers escorted him from his cell into a clean, bright room, where at last he saw a familiar face, a fellow American. It was an FBI agent he'd met with in the past. The agent told Naji that he could end his nightmare. "Help me help you," he said.
Naji first contacted me in April 2012, after I wrote a story about Yonas Fikre, an Oregon man who alleges that he was tortured in the United Arab Emirates after he refused to become an FBI informant. "I went through a similar ordeal," his email said.
Fikre's story fit a familiar pattern in which US citizens suspected of (often tangential) ties to terrorism were detained and questioned abroad by foreign security services—with evidence suggesting that American authorities orchestrated the detentions. This wasn't rendition, the controversial practice in which the CIA has shipped foreign nationals to allied countries where they were abused and tortured. Instead, American citizens were locked up abroad and interrogated by US agents in a manner that seemed designed to bypass their constitutional rights. Human rights advocates and civil libertarians have dubbed this practice "proxy detention."
The FBI acknowledges that foreign governments sometimes arrest Americans based on information the bureau provides. Here's how one FBI source explained it to me: If a guy the Saudi government suspected of terrorism traveled to the United States, we'd want to know. So it's only fair that we tip off the Saudis—or the Yemenis, Sudanese, or Egyptians—when an American suspected of terrorist ties enters their country.
What the bureau doesn't say is that since counterterrorism forces in many countries are funded and trained by the United States, the FBI's suggestions can sound a lot like orders—even when the suspects involved have never been charged with any crime.
"Often it has been US officials who do the real questioning, and sometimes the prisoners have been tortured and abused" by their foreign captors, says Hina Shamsi, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who works on the issue. "Unlawful detention and cruel treatment is wrong when the US government does it, and it's just as wrong if the United States asks another government to do it."
But as Naji discovered, the US government can do more than land you in prison overseas. It can reach deep into a family's life, upending relationships, destroying livelihoods, and leaving citizens stranded far from home without recourse or explanation.
NAJI WAS BORN IN San Diego in 1976, the first of four children, and his upbringing was a whirlwind tour of far-flung locales. As his father worked his way around the globe as an economic consultant to governments and businesses, Naji attended grade school on an American compound in Saudi Arabia and part of high school in a Crusades-era castle (complete with a moat) in Malta. When he was 20, the family visited Nairobi on a vacation, and they moved there for good later that year. All four Mansour children attended American colleges (Naji went to the University of Rhode Island for a year), and two of them now live in the United States. One of Naji's brothers joined the Marines and served two tours in Afghanistan.
Though he's spent most of his life abroad, Naji is an American by birth, by law, and by culture. He's a fan of the comedian Dave Chappelle, a rap aficionado—we had a lengthy conversation about the merits of Biggie Smalls versus Tupac Shakur—and a computer whiz.
Naji was raised Muslim, but he wasn't particularly religious as a child and didn't pray regularly until he was 18. He was more interested in pan-Africanism—in Naji's words, the idea "that a united Africa could be independent from foreign intervention, and people's lives would improve"—a popular school of thought among his professors at the United States International University in Nairobi. But in 1998, Naji dropped out of school and married a young Ugandan named Shamila. They moved to England and had a daughter, but without legal residency he couldn't find work beyond odd jobs, and Shamila eventually returned to Uganda and gave birth to their son. Naji moved back to Nairobi in April 2000 in hopes that Sandra, then working as a housing and travel coordinator for USAID (she supervised luggage handling during then-first lady Laura Bush's May 2007 visit), could set him up with a job at the US Embassy. In 2002, Naji and Shamila divorced. Soon after, he married Nasreen and they started a family together in Nairobi.
Naji spent 2008 working for a tech company in Dubai. During his stay, he occasionally invited friends from work and the mosque he attended to bunk at his mom's house—which the family dubbed "Hotel Sandra"—if they ever visited Nairobi. A week after returning home from Dubai, he got a call from a guy named Muhammad whom he barely remembered. "I got a couple of friends. Could you put them up?" Muhammad asked. "They're coming this week." Naji agreed, expecting more details, but Muhammad abruptly hung up.
A few days later, Naji's phone rang again. The men had arrived. "I was like, 'Uh...okay.'" He hopped into the family's old Mercedes—a memento of his father, who died in 2006—and drove to pick them up.
The two visitors, Bilal el-Berjawi and Mohamed Gamal Sakr, both 24, said they were grad students who had traveled to Kenya to study the farmers who grow miraa (also known as khat), a mild amphetamine that's legal there. But they seemed to do little other than hang around. They watched the Mansours' seven tortoises trudge around the backyard. They prayed. After a week, Naji gently inquired when Berjawi and Sakr would be moving on. They told him they were waiting for their families to wire some money to continue their travels and research.
Around 2 p.m. on February 23, 2009, a bit more than two weeks into the pair's visit, dozens of armed men surrounded the house. Naji and Nasreen were out. The family's maid, Violet Mugasiali, was home with their young daughters. "All of a sudden the bell started ringing nonstop," Mugasiali remembered. The men said they were with Kenya's counterterrorism police, a special American-funded unit. She called Naji and Nasreen as the police burst into the compound, arresting Berjawi and Sakr and confiscating computers belonging to Naji.
Nasreen rushed home while Naji contacted Al-Amin Kimathi, a prominent lawyer and the head of Kenya's Muslim Human Rights Forum. Naji had volunteered for Kimathi's organization, where he helped to investigate the detention and rendition of Muslims who had been arrested in Kenya as they fled Ethiopia's US-backed invasion of neighboring Somalia. Some of the detainees were militants affiliated with the Islamic Courts Union, which spawned al-Shabaab, the terrorist group that pledged fealty to Al Qaeda in 2012. But many were simply refugees attempting to escape the violence.
Now Naji called on Kimathi for a favor. Since he didn't have a Kenyan passport, he was worried he might be deported; Kimathi helped him obtain an official document saying he could stay. Then Naji turned himself in for interrogation. (Nasreen was also arrested; she was held for 30 hours before being released without charges.)
The Kenyan police told Naji that Berjawi and Sakr had been plotting a terrorist attack—perhaps targeting the Westgate, Nairobi's fanciest mall. (The two men were deported to the United Kingdom, where they had grown up, but soon returned to Africa. In 2010, the UK revoked their citizenship for alleged ties to terrorism, and both were later killed by US drone strikes in Somalia—where, the British government said, they had joined al-Shabaab.)
Naji was questioned about his ties to the would-be terrorists, whom he told his interrogators he barely knew. They also confronted him with terrorism-related files that were discovered on his computers. Some were mundane, such as research papers and think tank studies about Islamic extremism, but others were more suspicious, like martyrdom videos and al-Shabaab propaganda. Naji said that he was no terrorist, but was fascinated by the causes of terrorism and curious about how the religious doctrine of jihad was used to justify it; in his spare time, he spent hours doing online research.
"I'm telling you, you might get hit by a car. That is not a threat. That is a solid piece of advice. But you don't want to take it."
Naji recounted the story of how Berjawi and Sakr had come to stay with him, but the agents asked few questions about them. Instead, Jones grilled Naji about Kimathi, his acquaintance from the Muslim Human Rights Forum, and inquired about one of Nasreen's distant cousins, a man named Omar Awadh Omar. (Omar is currently being prosecuted in Uganda for helping orchestrate the 2010 bombings in Kampala that targeted soccer fans watching the World Cup finals.) Jones asked Naji whether he had ever brought "guns, money, or people for violence" to Somalia or other countries. Naji said no. After about an hour, the conversation wrapped up; Naji agreed to sit down with Roberts again later that week.
Roberts showed up to their next meeting "in his shades, looking like Top Gun," Naji recalled. And he had a proposition. "He said, 'We want you to work with us. You have what it takes. You're the perfect candidate.' I asked him, 'What exactly are you talking about?' It was very surreal. This is the shit you see in movies. I was laughing."
But Roberts wasn't joking. "He said, 'We can give you rewards for information, or we can put you on full time. But that would require a continuous flow of information.'" Naji understood that his houseguests had placed him under a "cloud of suspicion," he later told me. But Roberts didn't seem interested in that anymore. "Mostly, it was 'We need your help,'" Naji said.
It's not hard to see why the US government would view Naji as an ideal informant. He is religious, conservative, and speaks English and Arabic. He's calm under pressure. He had crisscrossed the globe as a volunteer escort for refugees being resettled through the International Organization for Migration. When he traveled, he went to mosques and counted on the hospitality of strangers to find a bed for the night, and through this he had made connections with dozens of other religious Muslim men around the world.
This is precisely the kind of community that the FBI is trying to track and infiltrate. The bureau's network of paid informants has expanded rapidly since 9/11, and now includes more than 15,000, rivaling the scale of the J. Edgar Hoover era. A guy like Naji—an expatriate working in countries where terrorists operate—would be a real catch.
But to someone not facing criminal charges, the FBI doesn't have much to offer by way of enticement. "The problem for many American Muslims who have been approached by the FBI to become informants is that they aren't involved in criminal conspiracies and don't have relationships with criminals," says Mike German, an ex-FBI agent who now works for the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University. "Instead, they are being asked to spy broadly against their religious community. That creates a conundrum because the person may be perfectly willing to help the FBI fight terrorism but simply has no information to provide."
Naji told Roberts he was planning to move to Juba, where his mother had taken a job with a company called Management Systems International that did work for USAID. He hoped to launch a business there selling rugged laptops. "We could use you there, too," Roberts said.
"No, man," Naji replied. Spying was "not something I want to play around with," especially in a country like Sudan. "This is Africa. There's no law for me here."
Page 1 of 2NextSix weeks after the raid, the Mansour family headed to the Nairobi airport to fly to Uganda for a visit with Naji's ex-wife and their children. When Naji handed his passport to a security officer, she glanced at her computer screen, stared at him, and asked, "What did you do?" Kenyan security officers detained the family for several hours, releasing them just before their flight took off.
When the family returned five days later, Kenyan airport police questioned Naji again. "The deputy immigration officer said, 'We have nothing wrong with you, but we have a directive not to let you in,'" Naji recalled. Soon, Fogarty and Jones showed up at the airport. The FBI agent reiterated the US government's desire that Naji become an informant. Naji once again declined.
He spent three nights at the airport, and when it became clear that he would not be allowed to enter Kenya, Nasreen brought him some clothes and his laptop samples and said goodbye. Then Naji boarded a plane to go stay with his mother in Juba. There, he buried himself in building his laptop business. "We kept thinking things were going to blow over," Sandra said.
In late June 2009, Sandra took a business trip to Kenya, and stopped by the US Embassy to get more pages added to her passport, for all the visas needed for her international travels. She was told there was a "hit" on her passport that needed to be cleared in Washington. A few days later, she was informed her passport would be released if she'd meet with the FBI first. So on Monday, June 29, Sandra sat down with FBI agent Mike Jones. "He asked, 'Where's Naji now?'" she recalled. "I said, 'He's with me in Juba.'"
The next morning, June 30, Naji and Nasreen—who had come to visit her husband in Juba while Sandra was in Nairobi looking after their children—were about to go out for breakfast when they noticed a man peering through the window. Naji opened the door to find two men in suits, sweating in the heat, with guns on their hips. "One of them looked like African James Bond," Naji told me. "And I say, 'Yes, hello?' And they're like, 'Naji Mansour?' and I'm like, 'Yes.' And they just came in." The agents of the South Sudan Security Bureau asked Naji to bring Nasreen out, and then they took the couple's phones and laptops and hustled them into separate unmarked cars.
When I asked the FBI about why Naji and Nasreen were arrested a day after Sandra told Jones of Naji's whereabouts, a spokeswoman told me in an email that the timing "is, in fact coincidence." But there are indications that it may not have been. "Sandra, I'm not supposed to be telling you this, but this is coming from your people," Sandra says a top Sudanese official told her. A former US diplomat who was stationed in Juba at the time told me that US officials there spoke openly of Naji's detainment and said he would be freed if he cooperated with the FBI.
The agents took Naji and Nasreen to the National Intelligence building, where Naji was placed in a basement cell; later, he heard Nasreen sobbing. One of the guards was trying to remove her headscarf—most South Sudanese are not Muslim—but she prevailed. Then the lights went out. Nasreen was still whimpering in a cell down the hall.
In the days that followed, the couple was questioned about their intentions in the country, whether they had ties to terrorism, and the contents of Naji's laptops. One of them contained materials similar to those that had raised eyebrows in Kenya. Nasreen was finally freed after eight days and put on a flight back to Nairobi. No charges were ever filed, nor was she given any reason for her detention.
The weekend after Nasreen's release, guards escorted Naji into an interrogation room. Soon, a blond State Department official entered.
"Do you remember Mike Jones—you met him in Nairobi?" she asked.
"Yeah," Naji replied.
"Would you be willing to see him?" the diplomat inquired. That was fine by him, Naji said, and to his surprise Jones and another FBI agent, Peter Smith (whose real name also has been withheld at the FBI's request), strolled in moments later. Smith said he believed that Naji had done nothing wrong and wasn't involved with terrorism, but told him that the FBI needed Naji to tell them something useful so they could advocate on his behalf with the Sudanese. "Quid pro quo, Naji. Quid pro quo," Jones chimed in.
"Every time I try to cooperate with the FBI, I get deeper into shit. I'm a citizen. They're supposed to have my back, and it's the exact opposite."
Then, 37 days after he'd been arrested and three weeks after his conversation with the FBI, Naji was brought upstairs again. A Sudanese officer told him he was free to go, so long as he stayed in the country for the next 30 days and didn't talk to the media.
After his release, the director of South Sudan's Security Bureau penned a memo to the local minister of internal affairs briefing him on Naji's case. "The accused has been very much willing to know in-depth about Terrorism and Islamic Jihad," he wrote in the document, which was obtained by Mother Jones. "Thus, Mr. Naji is believed to have much interest in Terrorism activities, in fundamentalism and Islamic teachings. Whether that could lead to joining such activities or help in one way or another he will just remain a suspect that would require trailing."
A month later, Naji moved to Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, where his late father's family had lived. Nasreen and their children later joined him there. He began to think his problems were over. Then, in October 2009, Jones got in touch. "I am heading back to Africa in the near future," he wrote in an email. "I'd be willing to stop by area, or Khartoum, and meet if you have the time." Naji replied that he wanted to talk on the phone before committing. He planned to tape their conversation.
When Jones called a month later, Naji turned on his phone's recording app and told the agent that he believed US officials had ordered his detention. (Clips of the conversation follow; you can listen to the entire recording and read a transcript here.)
"We had 100 percent nothing to do with that," Jones responded, according to a copy of the recording that Naji gave me. "It runs counter to everything that we do and that we stand for."
"I just want normalcy for my family," Naji said. "'Cause I think they deserve it. 'Cause it's been a screwed-up year, let me tell you." Jones pressed for a meeting, and they agreed to talk again the next morning.
Naji recorded their subsequent conversation, too. This time Peter Smith was on the line with Jones, and the collegial tone of their previous interactions was gone. The agents again asked for a meeting, but Naji declined. Ever since he had first told his story to US officials, he said, his life had been thrown into chaos. "There's scrutiny on your mom," Jones finally said. "...That's not going to go away unless we sit down and get down to business."
Smith jumped in, telling Naji that if he refused, "a series of events is going to be put into motion. And once you put it into motion, honestly I, I'm out of it. I honestly do not care. I'm going home, you know, I got a vacation to plan. My life goes on. Yours might change. And it's not going to, it might not be necessarily to your liking." He added: "I'm telling you, you might get hit by a car—that is not a threat. That is a solid piece of advice. But you don't want to take it."
(The FBI refused to comment on the bureau's attempt to recruit Naji as an informant, nor would it comment on his taped conversations with Jones and Smith or whether any misconduct on their part had occurred.)
Four days later, on November 17, a State Department security officer visited the offices of Management Systems International in Juba. Sandra was fired the same day—less than a week after the company had renewed her contract for another year. She was told her position had been eliminated, but MSI posted the same job a month later. Stefanie Frease, one of Sandra's supervisors, told me the dismissal came at the behest of the US government.
"We all thought she was blackballed," said Inez Andrews, a former foreign-service officer working in the US compound in Juba at the time. "It's awful she hasn't been able to clear this up, that she's being held hostage to a system that was trying to extract information."
In a statement, USAID maintained that "decisions regarding the termination of employees...are ultimately made and executed by contractors themselves." And an FBI spokeswoman said the bureau "made no recommendations in regards to Sandra Mansour's employment status."
But Sandra's ordeal wasn't over. When she tried to return to her home in Nairobi in 2011, she was blocked from entering the country, just as Naji had been. An immigration official told her, she recalled, "If the Americans don't want you here, you ain't coming in." She was finally allowed entry to Kenya last December, when American nationals were evacuated there after South Sudan descended into violence.
Other members of Naji's family have been targeted, too. In 2011, Naji's sister, Tahani, was detained at the Nairobi airport for three days. "I've heard, 'It's your people'"—that the US is behind her family's troubles with customs officials—"more times than I can count," she told me. "I go to airports now and there's this constant sense of trepidation. Am I gonna make it? Am I gonna get locked up again?"
"As a family we have always been mobile and traveling our whole lives, and as a result completely took it for granted," she told me. "The removal of the liberty to travel was crippling."
One of Naji's brothers says he is frequently questioned about Naji when he crosses an international border. The other, a Marine veteran based in Virginia, was visited by members of the Navy's criminal investigative service, who grilled him about Naji. The FBI even interviewed Naji's uncle and aging grandmother in Rhode Island in 2009.
"They didn't get to me, so they had to target my family," says Naji.
On September 21, 2013, members of al-Shabaab, armed with assault rifles and grenades, stormed the Westgate, the upscale mall that Bilal el-Berjawi and Mohamed Gamal Sakr had allegedly plotted to bomb four years earlier. Over the next three days, at least 72 people (including the attackers) were killed and the mall was almost entirely destroyed.
I had just left Nairobi—where I had visited Tahani at the Mansour family's home, just a few miles from the mall—the day before. As the news broke, I was sipping white tea with Naji in the lobby of the Acropole Hotel, a Khartoum landmark with a Raiders of the Lost Ark vibe and a cartoonishly large safe in its office. The hotel's prime clientele are foreign archaeologists (Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt); it's also a popular haunt for journalists, as the bumper stickers—CNN, BBC, CBC—on the lobby window attest.
Naji was skinny and 5-foot-7. He had close-cropped black hair with a sprinkling of gray, stylish glasses, and a mustacheless beard that he absentmindedly stroked when he grew sad or worried. He spoke quietly and slowly, telling me about his passion for organic food and his interest in "open-source ecology," in which people build their own tractors and plows from plans available on the internet.
Sudan, Naji told me, had become his prison. He felt trapped and helpless. He was no longer welcome in Kenya, and he feared what might happen if he set foot outside Sudan, believing he might be detained—and possibly tortured—at the behest of the US government. The experience "made me scared of traveling," Naji said. "What happens if I go to a US-friendly country or pass through a US-friendly country?"
The older two of his and Nasreen's four children now live with his mother-in-law in Nairobi (it has better schools than Khartoum), where he cannot visit them. He hasn't seen his son and daughter from his first marriage in three years. And Naji's lifelong ambition—to travel the world with his kids, "doing all the stuff with my children that my father did with me"—is blocked by fear.
Over and over during my time in Khartoum, Naji assured me that he had no ties to terrorism. I asked him about the terrorism-related files that had been found on his computer and what had kept him from following his interest in jihad down a path toward violence, as has been the case with some other conservative Muslims who have immersed themselves in extremist dogma online. "Knowledge" of Islam, he replied, explaining that he has had a long-standing "intellectual" interest in jihad and political Islam. I pressed Naji on whether he thought killing civilians was justified in certain situations. "What happened at Westgate is forbidden," he told me. "Am I a sleeper cell? I like to sleep a lot!"
In fact, it was a notorious act of terrorism that first prompted Naji's curiosity about jihad—Al Qaeda's 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi. Among the 213 people killed in the blast was his sister's best friend, Jay Bartley, who liked to shoot hoops with Naji and his brothers. Bartley's father, Julian, the consul general, was also killed in the attack.
"The following days were a haze," Tahani told me. "I don't think I ate anything other than coffee for three days. I burned a huge chunk of my hair off with the hair dryer just in a daze." Naji, then 22, saw his sister's despair. Yet when he went to the mosque, some of the men there spoke of the attack as a legitimate act of jihad, Naji remembered. "I honestly had no idea what to think," he said. "I became very curious about how something like that could be justified under Islam."
When Naji moved to London in 1999, he fell in with a group of conservative Pakistani men. Once drawn to secular pan-Africanism, he became more devout and enthusiastic about Islam as a political solution to the world's problems. "I started learning that Islamic systems were behind some of the greatest empires," he said. He educated himself about the structure of an Islamic state—how banking and finance would be conducted, how the poor would be cared for. "'Oh wow,' I thought, 'something other than democratic socialism and capitalism'—it was very appealing to me, liberating."
Tahani didn't view her brother's increasing interest in political Islam and jihad as unusual, even in light of what had happened to the Bartleys. "He was totally open about it," she told me. Jihad "was just the next topic" for Naji. "He really takes it upon himself to properly look into things through multiple sources." She told me her brother had once been fascinated by Sufism, Islam's more mystical branch. "Naji's approach to the whole jihad thing was similar to that. There was an enigma about it and he wanted to be informed. That's what he does—he teaches himself."
As we watched Kenyan police and military units respond to the mall attack, Naji called his mother-in-law, who works in a hair salon near the Westgate. She told him that her building had been evacuated and she had fallen running away, but she and the kids were fine. Then he rolled his prayer mat out on the hotel balcony and prayed. Later we took an ancient minibus to Omdurman, Khartoum's sister city across the Nile, and sat on the sagging couches in Naji's apartment and talked until the muezzin sang the sunrise call to prayer from the minaret across the street.
"Even if I was guilty, there's a process," he told me.
Though he spent much of his life abroad, Naji had never doubted his rights as an American citizen. But the experience with the FBI had made him deeply distrustful of his government. "Every time I try to cooperate with the FBI, I get deeper into shit. I'm a citizen. They're supposed to have my back, and it's the exact opposite. You shouldn't expect this from the beacon of democracy."
On my last day in Khartoum, Naji and Sandra picked me up at the Acropole. We drove for 30 minutes to the outskirts of the city, where the US Embassy complex sits on a desolate road near a turn in the Blue Nile. Naji needed to renew his passport. He was nervous—he had told Nasreen that if he didn't return within two hours, she should notify the press and local authorities. A security officer took our phones, and then we followed a covered walkway that cut across the bright green lawn.
We stepped into a scene that would not have been out of place in a municipal building in Dayton, Ohio. It was just before 8:15 a.m. and a television mounted on the wall was tuned to the Armed Forces Network, which was showing The Doctors. Five numbered windows lined the wall. A table was covered with old magazines, and official portraits of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and John Kerry peered down from the wall. Soon, a disembodied voice asked Naji to report to window one. He handed in his form and his passport. As we waited, 10 or 12 other people renewing passports came and went. Finally, after about an hour, a voice announced over a loudspeaker, "Excuse me, Mr. Mansour? Can you go to window number six?" There was no window, only a soundproof door, marked "INTERVIEW ROOM."
Inside, a window looked through to another room, but its shades were drawn. After a few minutes, the shades rose and two State Department officials were on the other side: Chris McVay, an assistant regional security officer at the embassy, and a woman who introduced herself as Amelia Sanders, the second secretary for regional, political, and economic affairs. They didn't mention any of Naji's previous troubles, although they brought up his time in Juba and travels throughout Africa. The diplomats said they were interested in hearing Naji's thoughts about the countries he had visited. Before they let him go to collect his passport, Sanders asked if perhaps they could meet again sometime soon.
