Ever seen this in the Zionist-controlled MSM papers?
"Some US officials fear the cargo aboard the MV Faina, which was seized by pirates Thursday, could end up in the hands of Al Qaeda-linked militants in Somalia.... But US officials, arms analysts, and maritime officials say the more likely original destination was southern Sudan, where the former rebel group Sudan
"Vadim Alperin was once quoted to be a "Mossad brother" running a number of clandestine front companies including one Kenyan Meat export company enjoying "good trade" with middle eastern countries covertly used for gathering intelligence from countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia"
I rest my case, readers.
"Alleged arms smuggler sought by the US testifies in Thailand; Businessman denies selling weapons to rebels" by Michael Casey, Associated Press | December 23, 2008
BANGKOK - A Russian businessman dubbed the "Merchant of Death" for allegedly arming dictators and guerrillas told a Thai court yesterday he was not involved in a scheme to sell weapons to Colombian rebels, as he sought to prevent his extradition to the United States.
Viktor Bout, a former Soviet Air Force officer, has long been linked to some of Africa's most notorious conflicts, allegedly supplying arms to former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor and Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy. He has repeatedly denied any involvement in illicit activities and has never been prosecuted, despite being the subject of UN sanctions and a travel ban.

The United States is seeking Bout's extradition on charges he conspired to sell millions of dollars worth of weapons, including 100 surface-to-air missiles and armor-piercing rockets to leftist rebels. The 41-year-old Russian - who was purportedly the model for the arms dealer portrayed by Nicolas Cage in the 2005 movie, "Lord of War" - was arrested in March during a sting operation in which undercover US agents posed as rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its Spanish acronym, FARC....
Need I even say it?
************************
UN reports have said Bout parlayed his contacts in the post-Soviet arms industry into a weapons-dealing business, setting up a network of more than 50 aircraft around the world to supply arms that fueled a litany of conflicts, mostly in Africa. The UN suspects his clients included Taylor, Khadafy, the late dictator Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, now known as Congo, and both sides of the civil war in Angola.
I'm sorry, but the whole Africa thing.... Cutting Through the African Bush
The world body imposed a travel ban on him that accused him of supporting efforts by Taylor's regime in Liberia to destabilize neighboring Sierra Leone....
The extradition hearing has drawn an unusually vigorous response from Russia, according to Douglas Farah, who wrote the 2007 book on Bout, "Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Planes, and the Man Who Makes War Possible." The coauthor of the book, Stephen Braun, is an editor at the Washington bureau of the Associated Press.
Farah said the Russian government has run sympathetic stories in government media about Bout and lobbied senior Thai officials for his release. Two officials from Russia's Embassy in Thailand were in court yesterday. The Duma, or lower house of parliament, has also issued a statement calling for him to be returned to Russia.
"The Russians have made great efforts to get him out beyond what they would do for a normal Russian citizen," Farah said. "Over the years, he's been incredibly useful to the Russian intelligence apparatus particularly in delivering weapons to states such as Iran and their proxies in Lebanon."
Why am I getting a BIG WAFT of AGENDA-PUSHING, readers?
Farah said the Russian government is concerned that he could reveal details about his dealings with Moscow were he to be put on trial in the United States. "I think they would prefer to have him back in Moscow under their control than having him testify in open court in the United States," Farah said....

Strange how MOSSAD SPIES can run back to Israel after 9/11 and the CIA can refuse to extradite CIA agents to Italy to face charges of rendition and kidnapping with nary a peep from the AmeriKan MSM, huh?
