Emirates announced to have ordered the freezing of the accounts

and the investments of 26 people or organizations suspected of

front of some friends to have visited the billionaire saoudien.

organization of Ben Laden, Al Quaida. The mission of Beghal: to

make jump the embassy of the United States, which occurred

counterparts very precise requests for information concerning

Algerian activists, without however being explained on the

general direction of their step. With the question " that fear

you in the days which come? ", the Americans oppose a not easily

comprehensible dumbness.

      úúúúThe contacts between the CIA and Ben Laden go back to 1979

when, representing family company in Istanbul, it began with

enr“ler volunteers of the world arabo-Moslem for Afghan

resistance against the Red Army. Inquiring into the attacks of

assemblies " that the CIA had developed with his/her " friends

islamists " since years. The meeting of Duba‹ would be thus only

the logical continuation of a " certain American policy ". The
