The American publication of World Net Daily claims that the terrorist organization of Osama Ben Laden al-Qaeda created the first naval terrorist flotilla in the amount of 15 ships, which are based in the Pacific and Indian oceans. In this regard, the US State Department has spread a warning about the threat to its marine interests, and the Philippines government announced an alarm in its ports in connection with possible terrorist attacks.
Referring to the intelligence services data (WND - the publication of the American journalist Joseph Farah, known for his ties in the special services), the World Net Daily claims that al -Qaeda has acquired at least 15 ships over the past two years, thus creating the first terrorist flotilla. "
The Lloyds of London insurance company, reportedly, helped British intelligence Mi-6 and the American CIA to "track transactions for the purchase of ships carried out through the Greek ship macler, which is suspected of bies Laden."
Ships purchased by al-Qaeda can transport the load of deadly chemicals, a "dirty bomb" or even nuclear weapons. They can simply go to the civilian port and blow themselves up there. These are Kamikadze ships.
Ships, apparently, are somewhere in Indian or Pacific Oceans. A week ago, some ships left their ports in the area of the African horn (North-East Africa) and went to the ports of Asian countries, says World Net Daily.
Meanwhile, at the end of last week, the US State Department spread a warning "to remind American citizens of the preserved threat that they may become the goal of terrorists, even after the anniversary of September 11." In this warning, the State Department separately emphasized the possibility of attacking the sea.
At the same time, the Filipino agency Inquerr News Service reported that the country's marine administration has declared an increased danger level in all ports at the Mindao Sea, having received intelligence information about the impending explosion on one of the ships belonging to the ships.
The Russian Navy officer confirmed Newsru.com the possibility of operating al-Qaeda ships in Indian and Pacific Oceans
The officer of the Russian Navy Taras Alekseev informed Newsru.com that in principle, it can be allowed that al-Qaeda created its own fleet, and now these ships are plowing the waters of the oceans.
“They may well swim in the Indian Ocean, because it is the most inhabited area from the point of view of piracy . The Filipino Sea, everything that is to the right of India, up to Korea, this whole water area is simply teeming with pirates that cannot be controlled and difficult to detect. The fact that piracy exists confirms the existence of al-Caida flotilla.
The most dangerous zone for navigation is the Malacca Strait that separates Malaysia and Indonesia, where about 600 vessels, the Thai Gulf of Thai, the Sea of the Sulu located in the Philippines area, as well as the water area between Hong Kong and China are daily.
Piracy is a serious problem for countries that have access to the sea. In particular, when Russia, Japan, Korea, the United States from time to time conduct joint naval exercises, one of the workings is just the fight against piracy. This topic is very relevant.
So, in principle, any ship in the Indian Ocean can be innated, that is, it falls out of the control of satellites, etc. From the point of view of the fact that the pirates in the Indian Ocean create their robbery, and only part of them manage to find, it can be assumed that al-Qaeda ships go somewhere, and where, no one except terrorists knows.
For example, such a fact. In the mid-90s, the famous Colombian drug dealer Pablo Escobar tried to acquire a diesel submarine for transporting drugs for a certain amount of the collapse of the Russian army. Then this operation managed to stop at the last stage. Moreover, not one Pablo Escobar was interested in our submarines and ships. Given this, I can assume that al-Qaeda has its own ships that go under someone else's flag, or exist on a pirate basis. Another question is, of course, for what purpose they are used.
In the Indian Ocean, such a ship is very difficult, the entire space that is outside the territorial waters of the 200-mile zone is uncontrolled.
There are certain trade and tourist routes along which ships go, but there are many islands that theoretically could be fluids, there are grottoes where you can drive the ship and you can’t take it from a satellite.
With the Pacific Ocean, the situation is a little more complicated. The fact is that the Pacific Ocean is a zone where the interests of Russia and the USA are in contact. Suppose we have two radio detachments in the Far East. One in Kamchatka, the other in Vladivostok. They cover most of the ocean, up to Korea. In addition, our reconnaissance officials go out of time to swim. Therefore, it would be more difficult to operate the ships of terrorists in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. But below, in the area of Indonesia, the space is controlled less, and it is easier there.
15 ships are, in fact, a whole small fleet, although we must clarify what kind of ships, what class they are ”
