"In interviews with this author in early March, Edmonds claimed that Ayman al-Zawahiri, current head of al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden’s deputy at the time, had innumerable, regular meetings at the U.S. embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, with U.S. military and intelligence officials between 1997 and 2001, as part of an operation known as ‘Gladio B’. Al-Zawahiri, she charged, as well as various members of the bin Laden family and other mujahedeen, were transported on NATO planes to various parts of Central Asia and the Balkans to participate in Pentagon-backed destabilization operations.

According to two Sunday Times journalists speaking on condition of anonymity, this and related revelations had been confirmed by senior Pentagon and MI6 officials as part of a four-part investigative series that were supposed to run in 2008. The Sunday Times journalists described how the story was inexplicably dropped under the pressure of undisclosed “interest groups”, which, they suggest, were associated with the U.S. State Department."

1. inexplicably dropped

to help avoid egg on face.

And from October 2001

Analysis: Bin Laden and the Balkans.

The arrest of four terrorist suspects in Bosnia has focused new attention on claims that Islamic militants may be operating from there.

A Serbian Government minister has suggested that Osama Bin Laden runs training camps in Bosnia.

Local media reports have even claimed that Bin Laden holds a Bosnian passport - a suggestion which has been denied by the Bosnian prime minister.

The presence of foreign militant Muslim fundamentalists in the Balkans dates back to the Bosnian war in the 1990s.

2. "Gladio B"? nt

[formercia]

3. Gladio=Strategic Tension

False-Flag operations to justify the GWOT.

[bemildred]

5. Oh I know what "Gladio" is.

It just seems like an unlikely name for such an operation, being so well known for so long.

[formercia]

6. Perhaps Gladio never went away

and this was Phase B of the same Op.

How many people knew about Gladio back then?

We weren't talking about it.

[bemildred]

7. Quite. But do they give these things names so everybody will know what it's about?

At least pick a new name, is all I'm saying, just some hint of subtlety you know, it's supposed to be "covert"?

8. Perhaps the name brought back warm and fuzzy feelings to the Old Whores.

So, when was Gladio first outed? That might give a clue.

If it hadn't been exposed, there is no reason the Code Name couldn't be recycled, especially if the original Gladio Op was still ongoing. Gladio was still active in the early '80's, until Dewey Clarridge had to get out of Rome because he was wanted for questioning by the Italian Authorities over the Bologna Train Station bombing, another Gladio Op.

9. The original is post-WWII:

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

However, based on what it says there, this is the "traditional" name for such efforts:

Although Gladio specifically refers to the Italian branch of the NATO stay-behind organizations, "Operation Gladio" is used as an informal name for all stay-behind organizations, sometimes called "Super NATO".

so I suppose I should accept it.

4. people don't call them al-CIA-duh without a reason, folks

and anyone who doesn't realize the extent of US govt involvement in 9/11 is living in a fantasy world.
