1996 : (HEAD OF IRAQ'S BAATH PARTY'S INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SECTION SHABI AL MALIKI VISITS KATANGA --SEE URANIUM, BILL RICHARDSON, MARC BASS)
FEBRUARY 1997 : (KINSHASA : IRAQI OFFICIAL HOLDS TALKS IN KINSHASA WITH THE MOBUTU GOVERNMENT'S MINES MINISTER BANZA MUKALAY) The Americans [See the June 2, 1997 delegation-Marc Baas, etc] are concerned over a visit to Katanga by the head of the Iraqi Baath party's international relations section, Shabi Al Maliki, around a year ago [1996]. He, too, showed an interest in Katanga's uranium, and last February [1997] another high-ranking Iraqi official reportedly held talks in Kinshasa with the mines minister in the last government of the Mobutu era, Banza Mukalay. The uranium is thought to have also figured in Libya's proposals in 1995 to supply oil to Zaire in exchange for ore.--------Saddam's Shadow (Posted on the Free Republic on 12/04/2005 11:21:13 AM EST by SBD1; Source: Africa Energy & Mining, June 18, 1997, Indigo Publications, available online to subscribers of Lexis-Nexis Academic)

JUNE 2, 1997 : (US DELEGATION HEADED BY BILL RICHARDSON VISITS KINSHASA --SEE URANIUM, DIAMONDS)
It's not only diamonds and base metals that interest big mining companies and the latter are not alone in being interested in Katanga. In the delegation that the United States sent to Kinshasa on June 2 [1997] under its ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson, the state department's African affairs department was represented by Marc Baas, director for Central Africa.40 posted on 07/09/2007 1:59:09 AM PDT by Wallaby | To 21
(Susan Rice, director for African Affairs at the National Security Council, has just been appointed under secretary of state for African affairs in succession to George Moose). Baas was accompanied by a representative of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and several Defense Department officials. The mission also visited Lubumbashi and met with officials from Gecamines and provincial authorities.
AEM's sources claim it wasn't the small research reactor that General Electric installed in 1977 at the university of Kinshasa, and which ceased operating in 1990, that interested the NRC and the military men, but rather the Shinkolobwe uranium deposit. Its resources are negligible from a commercial viewpoint when weighed against those in Namibia and Niger and new discoveries like France's Cogema has just made in western Canada. They weren't negligible from the security standpoint, however. The Americans [See the June 2, 1997 delegation- Bill Richardson, Marc Baas, etc] are concerned over a visit to Katanga by the head of the Iraqi Baath party's international relations section, Shabi Al Maliki, around a year ago [1996].

DECEMBER 7, 1997 : (US OFFICIALS MEET WITH THE TALIBAN; TALIBAN MIN OF MINES & INDUSTRY ADMITS US ASST THAT IRAN AND IRAQ HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT BIN LADEN BUT CLAIMS THE TALIBAN FRUSTRATED THOSE EFFORTS) The Taliban claimed in a 1997 meeting with U.S. officials that it had blocked attempts by both Iraq and Iran to contact Osama bin Laden, according to a previously confidential State Department memo made public ...[on Sept 11, 2003] . The memo says that the assistant secretary of state, Karl Inderfurth, was told on Dec. 7, 1997, by the Taliban's acting minister of mines and industry, Armad Jan, that his government "had stopped allowing [bin Laden] to give public interviews and had frustrated Iranian and Iraqi efforts to contact him." ... The memo, however, discloses a previously unreported link, or at least an Iraqi attempt to establish a link, with bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the United States. The document was published by the National Security Archives, an independent institute located at George Washington University. It specializes in using the Freedom of Information Act and other legal means to obtain previously classified material for public release. - "Memo shows Iraq, Iran tried to contact bin Laden ," By Eli J.

Why would the Taliban's "acting minister of mines and industry" be the one to meet with US officials unless there was something else to talk about than JUST bin Laden, say, some business matters involving mines and industry?

At that same moment, Pakistan initiated a major resupply effort, which eventually saw the defeat, and caused the defeat, of almost all of the anti-Taliban forces in Afghanistan. --------Congressman: U.S. Set Up Anti-Taliban to be Slaughtered [http://emperors-clothes.com/misc/rohr.htm] Bill Richardson--an agent of the Clinton Janus, whose political star (red in color) is inextricably interwoven with that of the two-headed beast.

"I never saw any evidence in anything I was doing where there were any Iraqi connections," said Mr. Inderfurth, who was the Clinton administration's senior State Department official for South Asia.
