An interesting connection, literally

Yasin Qadi has been meeting with Turkey's intelligence chief Hakan Fidan since last year, and his presence in Turkey became known because he was involved in a car accident in February. My conspiracy-theory senses are tingling; did Western or Israeli intelligence cause the accident to create a record of Qadi's presence? Getting back to reality, we don't know who the other party in the traffic accident was. It could have been a tree. Of the other passengers, I could not dig up anything on Usame Kutub (Osama Qutb, Usama Qutb, a common name) and the third person in the car was one of the Prime Minister's guards.

Background: Read History Commons on Qadi. From what I've read elsewhere, Qadi was a close associate of National Commercial Bank CEO Khalid bin Mahfouz and was one of al-Qaeda's top fundraisers. It was an investigation into Qadi and his network al-Qaeda that the FBI in Washington impeded and finally shut down in 1998-1999.

So now we have a key al-Qaeda figure coordinating with the head of Turkish intelligence and the Prime Minister's office, likely about the logistics for al-Qaeda forces in the war against Syria. And the US is providing the supplies.

Achievement unlocked!

I have been hellbanned from Hacker News for standing up to the mindless Snowden hysteria and demanding that other commenters justify their claims of what he exposed based on the facts of what he has actually exposed and not what they have heard from the rumour mill. Meanwhile, Paul Graham has let the political spammers ruin his site for weeks, and moderators who have flagged the duplicate articles as spam have lost their moderation privileges. I wonder if PG is a sucker for propaganda or if he's on the take as part of the PR campaign.
