[size=14pt]Suicide bombing: FG uncovers ‘political Boko Haram’ •Alleged sponsors under close watch •CIA, SSS, Mi5, MOSSAD, KGB move in [/size]
Written by Taiwo Adisa and Christian Okeke, Abuja
Thursday, 01 September 2011

INTELLIGENCE networks working on the incessant bomb blasts being perpetrated by the Boko Haram sect are said to have uncovered  what is called  “political Boko Haram,” said to be the brains behind some recent attacks by the group.

Sources in the administration told the Nigerian Tribune that signals from the Intelligence networks had consistently been pointing to the involvement of certain political forces in the Boko Haram menace.

The plot, according to a report already in possession of the administration, was to consistently put it under check and eventually derail its programmes.

The political Boko Haram was said to be the brain child of some influential persons, who were said to have recently linked up with the original Boko Haram to execute their agenda.

“There are two wings of Boko Haram. Contrary to the claim that the group got split into two camps, the two original camps are still one on the religious front. But right now, the intelligence agencies have uncovered the religious Boko Haram and the political Boko Haram,” a source said on Wednesday.

The source said the fight of the political Boko Haram was a 2015 battle, adding that it was aimed at positioning some elements in the northern part of Nigeria as veritable candidates to inherit power.

It was learnt that the said sponsors of political Boko Haram were pushing to recoup whatever they felt they had lost in the years of the late president, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua and President Goodluck Jonathan.

“While the religious Boko Haram operates from Maiduguri, Borno State and they believe that they will not relent until they revenge the killing of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, the political Boko Haram has seen the sect as a strong medium to push a sectional agenda,” a source said.

It was learnt that  some top political figures were already under close watch as a result of the discovery, as the administration had also sent words to the international community about the dimensions of what is regarded as “contrived insecurity” in Nigeria.

“The government already has full intelligence on all those involved. Their identities are being unfolded every day. It is clear that they lately saw the need to lump an unclear religious agenda and another shadowy political move together,” a source stated.

It was learnt that all previous utterances and posturing of certain key politicians are being further X-rayed, in an attempt to fully analyse the dimensions of the political Boko Haram.

A source also confirmed that the international intelligence networks, including the  Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Israel’s MOSSAD, the Mi5 in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Russian KGB were already in the full picture of the security grand plan.

UK High Commission reviews security arrangements
Following the bomb blast which ripped through the United Nations House in Abuja, security arrangements at the United Kingdom High Commissions across the country are currently being reviewed.

The review, according to findings by the Nigerian Tribune, was going to affect operations of the embassy in the country.

Confirming this to the Nigerian Tribune, the spokesperson of the commission, Hooman Nouruzi, however, said the commission would resume full range of services today after the sallah holidays.

He said commission would continue to operate a full visa service in the country, though there were likely to be some delays in the processing of applications.

“We ask that those wishing to apply for a UK visa do so at least one month ahead of planned travel dates,” he said.

Tribune is too political for my liking jare, if the government knows the sponsors, it is easy to catch them, I am sure the boko haramites are spending money, squeeze them where it hurts, track their spendings, thank God that Sanusi is moving to electronic banking, that will at least help to track money being spent.

They use underground Islamic finance methods that cannot be traced by electronics. IMHO, the only way they can be watched is through their communications; all those that made those strange apologies to boko haram need to be watched to check if they are sending coded messages in the open, through the press.
Re: Political Boko Haram by hercules07: 2:29am On Sep 01, 2011
Money always leaves a trace, our security guys will just need to work with the finance guys, there was also a project to do legal interception some years back, they need to resuscitate that program ( as long as they use it for the right purpose). The guys making apologies were just afraid for their lives as they did not have state protection again. It is obvious that Boko Haram is both political and religious, the religious side is easy to deal with (no sane person wants extremists close by), the political side is where GEJ is failing, he needs to deal with just one of the sponsors and others will get the message.

This is not strictly true. Lets go over how the awalla (hawalla) system works;
[list]
[li]A guy in Iran wants to send money to his cousin in Nigeria[/li]
[li]He contacts an awalla trader/businessman[/li]
[li]The awalla trader/businessman contacts a colleague in the cousins town[/li]
[li]Colleague gives cash amount to guy's cousin[/li]
[li]Businessman in Iran exports goods to colleague in Nigeria, who gets some of the goods for free as payment[/li]
[li]There is no paper work, nor physical transfer of cash from Iran[/li]
[/list]

Simple, but deadly.
How do you trace the sums sent by such methods, especially when things take a sinister turn and all parties want to leave no traces?

This article is a lot of hogwash. Why is the Tribune engaging in hearsay and mental gymnastics. Look at the below:

Quote: "A source also confirmed that the international intelligence networks, including the  Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Israel’s MOSSAD, the Mi5 in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Russian KGB were already in the full picture of the security grand plan."

If that is not a load of dudu I don't know what is. Sounds like an old wife's tale. A "security grand plan" involving the CIA, MOSSAD, Mi5 and KGB - all agencies that are closed to each other and often competing in the field? It is only in the made-up world of Nigerian journalists that these agencies are working together to develop a "security grand plan" to help Nigeria.

It is either a masterplan or grand plan with Nigeria and 50 years on the country is going from bad to worse. Somebody had better sit their bottom down and start doing real work of governance.

After the October bombings we were told that FBI and Isreali Mossad are here to smoke out the terrorist, armed with a grand intels about large sums of money exchanging hands via a wire transfer, which was trace to the northern "cabals".

Well, it is almost a year now and nothing was heard of the "mother of all investigation". A mere mockery to high esteem FBI & Mossad.

This line is becoming veeeerrrry old and even the dummies seems to be having problem buying the cooked up tales by moons light.

That is why I said "KGB my foot" above. It is not for nothing I keep referring to Beaf as "olodo". The article is foolish and Beaf , empty head and all, continues to expose his crass ignorance by endorsing the ridiculous write-up written out of sheer desperation. Now that Prayer is not working on Boko Haram they turn to propaganda to scare the group. Check out 'olodo' logic below.

Sometimes, I wonder why you strive so hard to maintain an aura of pig-like daftness. Everybody knows that the term KGB represents Russian intelligence, it might even interest you to know that the Soviet KBG continues to exist unchanged (name and all) in some of the old Soviet Union states.

This is the KBG headquarters in Minsk and a link to their website. Stop being eternally silly and attend to the topic or shut up, sir.

Beaf, the KGB has been disbanded since the fall of the Soviet Union. The KGB headquarters you refer to is for the intelligence agency of Belarus. Minsk is the capital of Belarus. The Tribune, however, refers to the Russian KGB which doesn't exist.

M.o.r.o.n + 419ner rolled into one !!!! Always trying to mix it with those far above your level.
The KGB was replaced by the FSB . It is only The State Security Agency of the Republic of Belarus that retained and uses the acronym KGB (see below) . I have even done you a favour (so you will not continue to argue emptily) by showing that the link you supplied , and fraudulently try to pass off as belonging to the KGB, is the website of the State Security Agency of the Republic of Belarus i.e the only security outfit that still formally uses the acronym KGB. I can't even accuse you of "pig-like daftness". That would be insulting to Pigs ostensibly far more intelligent than you are.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB

The KGB (КГБ) is the commonly used initialism for the Russian:Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti or Committee for State Security. It was the national security agency of the Soviet Union from 1954 until 1991, and its premier internal security, intelligence, and secret police organization during that time.

The thwarted coup d'état ended the KGB on 6 November 1991. The KGB's successors are the secret police agency FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) and the espionage agency SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Security_Agency_of_the_Republic_of_Belarus

The State Security Agency of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Камітэт дзяржаўнай бяспекі, КДБ; translit. Kamitet Dejarzhaǔnay Bjaspeki, KDB, Russian: Комитет государственной безопасности, КГБ; translit. Komitet Gosudarstvennoii Bezopasnosti, KGB) is the national intelligence agency of Belarus. It is the only intelligence agency that kept the Russian name "KGB" after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, albeit translated into Belarusian.
