General Firtina was attache in Washington in 1991.

Operation Sledgehammer (OPERATION SLEDGEHAMMER AIMED TO DOWN AN AIRCRAFT) helps us to understand 9 11 and the London tube bombings.It is a suitcase of documents which reveals Operation Sledgehammer, the 2003 plan for acts of terrorism and a Turkish coup

In January 2010, Mehmet Baransu, a journalist at Taraf newspaper (Turkey) told The Times (UK) that “My source brought the originals of all this stuff in a suitcase one night last week.

“He had been in the First Army and was uncomfortable with developments.”

The ‘digital imprints’ on the files lead back to military computers. Taraf has handed the documents to Istanbul prosecutors.

Reportedly, the CIA, Mossad and the Turkish military want to topple Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan, because he is not sufficiently pro-Israel and pro-USA. Erdogan is a moderate, but he has criticised Israel.

Many top military people are named in the Sledgehammer documents.

The documents reveal that the Turkish military planned to down a Turkish aircraft.

General Ibrahim Firtina, who went on to command the Turkish air force, is linked to this plan for the Turkish aircraft to be downed and the attack blamed on Greece.

The idea was to create the nationalist unity needed for a coup.

The Sledgehammer documents reveal the military’s plans to detonate bombs in mosques.

The idea of killing people in mosques was to get the survivors to riot and to create the idea that there were lots of mad Moslems around.

The main Sledgehammer document discusses how to take advantage of the chaos after co-ordinated attacks in large cities, especially Istanbul.

This was written several months before attacks against the British consulate, the HSBC bank and synagogues in Istanbul.

The Sledgehammer documents reveal that Stadiums were to be prepared for mass detentions.

A Turkish court, on 16 February 2007, sentenced seven ‘suspected al-Qaida militants’ to life in prison for the November 2003 bombings in Istanbul, which hit the British consulate, the HSBC bank and two synagogues.

The defendants included Syrian Loa’i Mohammad Haj Bakr al-Saqa, also known as Luai Sakra . ( Al-Qaida suspects on trial for Istanbul bombings give final …)

The British Consul General Roger Short was killed by the bomb as he was entering the consulate building. Press reports confirmed that he had cancelled an appointment at the last minute and “if he had gone to his appointment, he would have been alive.”

According to Michel Chossudovsky, at globalresearch.ca/articles/ANA311A.html, “The attacks created conditions for Turkey’s participation in the war on terrorism.

“The attacks served to strengthen the Anglo-American military axis and the legitimacy of Bush’s ‘War on terrorism.'”

Ercan Gun, at zaman.com (TODAY’S ZAMAN ), 15 Agust 2005, reported on the Syrian ‘Al Qaeda Militant’ Luai Sakra (Saqa) who was arrested for organizing the double bomb attacks in Istanbul on 15-23 November 2003.

Sakra ‘has confessed to Turkish police that he provided the attackers of 9 11 with passports’.

Sakra ‘claims that he knew Muhammad Ata’.

Sakra ‘claims he drinks alcohol and does not pray’.

Sarka reportedly said: “I was one of the people who knew the perpetrators of September 11, and knew the time and plan before the attacks. I also participated in the preparations for the attacks to WTI and Pentagon. I provided money and passports.”

Reportedly, some of the passports, which Sakra claimed to have provided himself, were found in the ruins of World Trade Centre I.

Ercan Gun wonders if Al-Qaeda is a Secret Service operation.

Sakra was interrogated for 4 days at the Istanbul Anti-Terror Department Headquarters. Reportedly this has provided some important information.

According to Ercan Gun, Turkish intelligence specialists now believe:
 
1. Al-Qaeda is the name of a secret service operation.
 
2. Al Qaeda is linked to a strategy of tension.
 
3. Sakra, the fifth most senior man in al-Qaeda, was offered employment by the CIA. The CIA gave him a large sum of money.

The CIA claimed it eventually lost contact with him.

Reportedly, in 2000, the CIA asked the Turkish security service MIT to capture Sakra. MIT caught Sakra in Turkey and interrogated him.

At a different period of time, Sakra was sought and caught by Syria’s al-Mukhabarat. Syria too offered him employment. Sakra eventually became a triple agent for the secret services.

Terrorism: Top al Qaeda operative, Sakra, ‘worked for the CIA’.

The 1980 Bologna Bombing was blamed on agents of the CIA and NATO, working for Operation Gladio.

Operation Gladio involved “the strategy of tension”. The strategy involved getting right-wing terrorists to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe and in Turkey. Operation Gladio was reportedly organised by Nato and the CIA.

“The CONTRA-GUERRILLAS, which were the GLADIO organisation in Turkey, were set up from the 1950s onwards and played a significant part in fascist governments during the modern history of Turkey, irrespective of whether these had a veneer of parliamentary democracy or were an overt military junta.”

“Utilizing the fascist and ultra-nationalist National Action Party and its youth wing, the Gray Wolves, the Turkish ‘Stay Behind’ also resulted in the type of right-wing terror program and destabilization effort that it did in Italy.”

When the Islamist prime minister Necemettin Erbakan took power in 1996, the Turkish military, quickly eased him out of power.

In elections for the Turkish parliament on November 3, 2002, a new party formed out of a banned Islamic movement – the Justice and Development Party (AKP) – won 35 percent of the popular vote and 363 of the 550 seats.This may have worried the Pentagon, Israel, the Turkish military and the Turkish drugs industry.

According to a report in The Jerusalem Post, intelligence cooperation between the Mossad and the Turkish security service, MIT, “was enshrined in a 12-clause agreement that was signed during a 1993 visit to Israel by then-Turkish foreign minister Hikmat Chetin”.

Soon after, according to the London-based newsletter Foreign Report, a large Mossad operation was established in Turkey, with Mossad agents based in both Istanbul and Ankara.

Turkish Top Military Brass meets Wolfowitz one day before Istanbul Attacks

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/ANA311A.html

The two Istanbul attacks respectively on the HSBC in the financial district and on the British Consulate were, according to media reports “timed to coincide with President George Bush’s state visit to London.”

The attacks took place one day following the completion of the annual Turkish-US Joint Defense Group meeting (17-19 November 2003).

The British Consul General Roger Short, was killed by the bomb as he was entering the consulate building. Press reports confirmed that he had cancelled an appointment at the last minute and “if he had gone to his appointment, he would have been alive.”

The attacks create conditions for Turkey’s participation in the war on terrorism.

The attacks serve to strengthen the Anglo-American military axis and the legitimacy of Bush’s “War on terrorism.”

The Istanbul bombings also serve to uphold the shaky legitimacy of Prime Minister Tony Blair in the face of mounting political opposition to Britain’s’ participation in the US led war.

“A Turkish daily close to the ruling justice and development party quoted Turkish intelligence sources as saying that the Mossad had established the organization that launched the two attacks on 15th November, 2003.”

Turkey is a major refining and transit point for the flow of heroin from Southwest Asia to Western Europe.

Kendal Nezan, writing for Le Monde Diplomatique, has reported that MIT and the Turkish National Police force were actively supporting the trade in illicit drugs not only for fun and profit, but out of desperation…

“According to the daily Hürriyet, Turkey’s heroin trafficking brought in $25 billion in 1995 and $37.5 billion in 1996 . . . Only criminal networks working in close cooperation with the police and the army could possibly organize trafficking on such a scale. Drug barons have stated publicly, on Turkish television and in the West, that they have been working under the protection of the Turkish government and to its financial benefit. The traffickers themselves travel on diplomatic passports. The drugs are even transported by military helicopter from the Iranian border.”

The Middle East Report concluded in 1998 that probably the greatest strategic move in the Clinton post-Cold War years is what could be called “The Ankara Pact”—an alliance between the US, Turkey, and Israel that essentially circumvents and bottles up the Arab countries.

Earlier in 1998, Israeli, Turkish and American military forces engaged in exercises in the Mediterranean, according to Reuters and Agencie France Press. “‘[These exercises] signal to the radical states in the region that there is a strong alliance between Israel, Turkey and the United States which they must fear.”

Reports also indicated that the CIA and Pentagon intelligence organizations had regularly chaired meetings of Turkish and Israeli officers in Tel Aviv for years.
