Business of the kidnapping in Iraq (i) two decades of great fulfillment and lies

These days are 20 years old from one of the most nebula post-December, which will remain in the history of Romania under the name « kidnapping in Iraq », nothing but a terrorist act with hostages that the politicians of the time and the secret services involved have endeavored to minimize and hide it.

Presented, initially, as a mere action of kidnapping three Romanian, negligent and adventurers, abroad, the operation was rapidly devoured, coming out the eternal links between international terrorism and the business interests of politicians and covered businessmen. The international dimension of the operation took shape when there appeared on the carpet and other victims of previous abductions: French, Americans, Iraqis. Most of them, more or less covered military.

The characters involved in the mixer of the « business » were high -ranking politicians, officers or former officers of communist secret services, authors of numerous financial engineers, trafficking with armament, tax evasion, sponsorship of political parties and other crimes, under the umbrella of the Romanian authorities. Scapegoat as an international terrorists – a former Syrian bunch and an American citizen. The truth secreted by the authorities – traffic and weapons smuggling, secret services and covered businessmen.
Over the years of mockery and concealment of the business, the kidnapping in Iraq has been, as was natural. Confronted with the realities of democracy, few people remember the episode of abduction in 2005, and some even deny that it was that, it would have happened. As with the great files secreted after 1990, the revolution and the miners, the great privatizations, step by step, year by year, starting with 2005, those perched temporarily at the brakes of power tried to convey the public that the abduction of the journalists was not a terrorist act. It seemed to us. In a way they are right. The business of the kidnapping in Iraq was not just an act of international terrorism, was the umbrella under which, the espionage carried out several special operations, starting with the destruction of some terrorist groups, even by them support and fed decades, reaching the elimination of strategic objectives from the Middle East. Thus, through the miracle of the episode of abduction, the secret services of the secret services have sheltered from the public’s prying eyes, the capture of the most publicized Viktor Bout weapon trafficker and the Livada operation. We will come back with data and information and remember people that behind any too publicized event is hiding something.

The morbul of secrecy
After the release of the Romanian journalists and, later, after the extraction of the French Florence Aubenais and the American officer Roy Hallums, in us, the competent bodies started a kind of investigation.

The Romanian journalists were also heard by the US secret services, FBI or DST. The General Prosecutor’s Office has started the so-called investigation in the secret headquarters of the SRI, now known as K2-T14. The first statements of the victims were taken under the supervision of the Sereasists, who reported to the Supreme Commander from Cotroceni each evening.

After years and years, we also learned that at the secret headquarters in Turgheniev street, the Porcii- criminals from the entourage of General Florian Coldea, in the presence of Codruța Koveși and other foreign agents interested in dirty business in Romania, were cutting. It was left with the prostory, scapegoat, Syrian Omar Hayssam and the American Mohammad Munaf, the latter, being detained by US troops, then protected for 10 years in Kurdistan.

The escape of terrorist Omar Hayssam was left with the resignation of the Attorney General of Romania and with the removal of the three heads of local secret services. In fact, the investigation in the abduction file was not done. True organizers and participants in the terrorist act have never been researched. A gross example is the relationship of the two « organizers » mentioned above with the famous weapons trafficker, the Russian Viktor Bout, who was, in 2005, on the list of the most sought after criminals internationally. There, in secret, the magistrates of DIICOT, led by the former deputy chief prosecutor Ciprian Nastasiu, who traveled to Iraq, were reached with the Mohammad Munaf, to a location set by the US Army. Nastasiu would take a first statement to the American terrorist, whom, as we found out, he truncated to protect the higher interests of the Romanian state. Thus, struck by the mutation mutation, the antitero magistrates in the abduction file 540/D/P/2005, had a second file full of state secret documents, 628/D/P/2005, called in the public space « Armament ».

Frustration of a magistrate
In order to better understand the controlled masquerade from the Cotroceni Palace, we tell you that after 20 years since the « kidnapping in Iraq », an international terrorist operation with hostages, US Mohammad Munaf was released more with the force from the penitentiary. In 2005, the Minister of Justice, the famous Monica Macovei intervened personally to block the extradition request of the American terrorist in Romania, to be investigated in the abduction file. Russian weapons trafficker Viktor Bout was excluded from the investigations of Romanian magistrates and from all weapons smuggling files. After being placed in Bankok in 2008, he was tried in the US and atoned a small part of the 26 -year -old sentence. Was issued by the US authorities and sent home to Russia.

Bout has been received as a hero and currently gives treadmill interviews, trying to work on the character’s « human face ». Omar Hayssam remained behind bars, alone and left by his political friends. Hayssam, also fled for a few years in Syria was the subject of a political barter with the former Dictator of Syrian Bashar al-Assad and sent to Romania, where, behind the bars he had washed his illicit wealth. The DIICOT prosecutors who instrumented the terrorism files in question were expelled one by one. Others have been brought who put the lid over organized crime. FRUSTED by the brutal way in which it was eliminated from the judiciary, after executing the orders of the Cotroceni Palace, Ciprian Nastasiu wrote the volume « Privacy of Romania », an eloquent description of how the politics and the secret services were playing the act of justice.

A terrorist that no one wanted to find
Considering the current international context (the files of the Tate brothers, the suspension of the Visa Waiver program for Romania, etc.) it would be good to remind the episode of the recovery of the international terrorist Mohammad Munaf, the US citizen judged in the account for offenses for abduction of some Romanian citizens. Subsequently, the terrorist was brought, it is not known how, from Kurdistan, where the protection of the US Army and was incarcerated in Romania.

In 2022, Munaf was released with trumpets and trumpets before atoning for 10 years, as if he were not guilty of crimes of international terrorism. Ohanesian journalist Eduard, a victim of the abduction operation, has taken countless steps besides the Romanian and American authorities to bring Munaf to the country. For three years, Ohanesian sent memories and notifications to the Ministry of Justice of Romania, to the US Embassy in Bucharest, to the FBI, to Interpol and S.MD, indicating the place where the internationally followed terrorist is located, which they did not want to find.

In the end…
The afternoon of July 17, 2015. Great heat. At the gate of the Embassy of the United States of America in Bucharest there is a depressing silence. Walking his hat with wide borons, a suspected individual, dressed in light-colored clothes, comes in front of the gate. Coacked by the weight of a bulky package, the man is proposed by the sill, at the entrance. Heavy papers seem to give him a headache, the edge of the armored window at the main entrance being too narrow to provide support. Bored, the goalkeeper behind the antiglon window, a stupid, hardly lifts the reflective screen.
– Hello! I would like to submit some documents in the attention of the Lord attached to legal issues, says the man with a hat. It is not known for what reasons, after the withdrawal of the controversial diplomat Mark Gitenstein, the appointment of a new US ambassador in Romania for about two years.
– What do you call yourself? « Asked the stupid behind the transparent armor, opening a bulky register.
– Ohanesian Eduard …
– Cuuum?, The man was changing, trying to write something in the cond.
-O-ha-ne-and-An, the petitioner syllables. OHANESIAN EDUARD OVIDIU.
Awakened as if from a deep sleep, the goalkeeper manages to note something.
« And what is it about? » Asked the sleeping without looking up.
– An information about a terrorist, citizen of the United States.
At the hearing of these words, the lazy pen in the hand of the stupid was stuck in paper. The main entrance guard stared at my papers and said scared:
– Mmmdah. A colleague comes immediately to take them.

Disturbed by his shady place, the embassy sergeant, armed like a robocap, appears and goes to the interrogation. He was interested in the quality of journalist that he was flavored under the hat. At the same time, rubbed, with a colored paper tester, the thick documentation that was ready to spread in front of the gate. After it was explained that it was not a threat, the robocap wrapped the plastic papers and was.

It has not been long since this episode. The Americans were discharged from management. The terrorist, US citizen, Mohammad Munaf, internationally pursued by Interpol, protected, is not known for what reasons, for a decade by two NATO member countries, was brought to the country, at the end of August 2015.

The American terrorist was released seven years later with the Interior Minister’s competition, Lucian Bode, after a long and serious deliberation of specialized commissions. « He was released, to say very clearly, based on some decisions of specialized committees, he was not released so simply. He, being a foreign citizen, was taken over by the General Inspectorate for Immigration, there were all the legal formalities, after which he left for the residence. to enter the territory of Romania, ”said Bode.
