September 9th, 2001
========================================================
Northern Alliance Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, Afghanistan is killed on September 9,
just two days before the attacks on New York and Washington.
Insider rumours point this murder on the Northern Alliance, other say it was the Pakistan Secret Service ISI.

2) Not really strange, but ironic:
September 11th, 2001
========================================================
John O'Neill, former deputy director of the FBI (investigations into Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network ),
died in the Twin Towers.
He said in a former interview with investigative journalists Brisard and Dasquie
("Bin Laden-The forbidden truth"):

"The main obstacles to investigate Islamic terrorism were US oil corporate interests
and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it."
After he resigned in protest over this obstruction in July 2001,
he started a job as a security chief in the WTC.

On all 4 planes and attacked buildings on September 11th, over 3000 people died.

It is odd, that a lot of high tech VIPs, including from Raytheon (Unmanned Global Hawk Project)
died as well:

Charles S. Falkenberg
(ECOlogic Corp, NASA + Global Hawk Supply) and his whole family,

Wilson "Bud" Flagg (retired Navy admiral and retired American Airlines pilot),

Stanley Hall (Raytheon),

Chandler Raymond Keller (Manager with Boeing Satellite Systems),

Ruben Ornedo(propulsion engineer with Boeing Co.),

Robert R Ploger III(software architect with Lockheed Martin Corp.),

Lisa J. Raines (a Lobbyist for Biotechnology),

John D. Yamnicky (Navy test pilot, defense contractor for Veridian Corp.),

Vicki Yancey (defense contracting company)
all AA77

Herbert Homer (DCE CACO of the RSC Corporate Management, Raytheon)
UA175

Daniel M. Lewin (Co-founder of Akamai Technologies, MIT Price Award),

Pilot Cpt. John Ogonowski (joined the Air Force at the height of the Vietnam War)

Peter Gay (Raytheon Co. vice president)

Kenneth Waldie (Raytheon Co. senior quality control engineer)
AA11

(No VIP on board of the Pennsylvannia machine)

There is the speculation, that Global Hawk technology was used on all four planes
and that Flight 93 was shot down.
Furthermore there is the speculation, that some bombs detonated the Twin Towers.
The FDNY wants to have an investigation, while the FEMA continue "destroying evidence".

"The incident, whatever it may have been, occurred on Monday afternoon as the scientist left his job at University of Miami's School of Medicine. He headed for his car, a white Ford Explorer parked on Northwest 10th Avenue. The word among his friends is that four men armed with a baseball bat attacked him at his car."

Set Van Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant who had worked at the facility for 15 years, a microbiologist was killed at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation's animal diseases facility in Geelong, Australia.
(Same facility that, as the journal Nature announced in January this year:
"Australian scientists, Dr Ron Jackson and Dr Ian Ramshaw, accidentally created an astonishingly virulent strain of mousepox, a cousin of smallpox, among laboratory mice)

"Victoria Police said Set Van Nguyen, 44, appeared to have died yesterday morning [=December 11th] after entering an airlock into a storage laboratory filled with nitrogen.

Police said he did not know the room was full of deadly gas which had leaked from a liquid nitrogen cooling system. Unable to breathe, he collapsed and died"
http://www.chemsafety.gov/circ/post.cfm?incident_id=5333

An odd coincidence: Van Nguyen has almost the same last name as Vietnam Immigrant Kathy Nguyen, who died in late December of Anthrax, but no envelope was involved.

Former Enron executive Clifford Baxter who resigned last May was found shot to death in a car in an apparent suicide, authorities said today.
Police in the Houston suburb of Sugarland confirmed the death of Clifford Baxter, 43, a former Enron vice chairman.
He was shot in the head.

UPDATE: "A close friend of Baxter said he thought the former Enron vice chairman had been murdered.

"It's absolutely incongruous that this guy would kill himself," the friend said. "He's not the kind of person who would ever do himself in."

The friend said Baxter loved yachting and had recently traded in his 72-foot boat for one with a larger engine so he could travel to Florida in two days."

A body discovered in a van in Pike National Forest was identified as missing 59-year-old Jefferson County James Watkins (Andersen Consulting).

Watkins, missing since Nov. 13, apparently committed suicide,
said Jacki Tallman, a spokeswoman for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
James Watkins opened a series for suicides at Andersen Consulting or ENRON, but his case wasn't mentioned in the media.
The ENRON bancrupcy became big news in the beginning of January 2002.

Watkins' van was spotted about 6 p.m. Saturday by a snowmobile rider who recognized it from media reports about the missing engineering consultant.
The Douglas County coroner's office on Monday had not completed autopsy, toxicology and forensic work, but "no foul play is suspected at this time," said Wes Riber, deputy coroner.
A weapon and a note were found at the scene, Tallman said. Contents of the note were not disclosed.
Watkins, employed at Arthur Andersen consultants, was last seen by co-workers at his downtown Denver office. At the time of his disappearance, he was preparing for a business trip to China.

"..A driver's license examiner charged in a scheme with five men to sell fraudulent licenses died in a fiery car crash the day before her first court appearance, a crash the prosecutor called "most unusual and suspicious"

As Katherine Smith failed to appear in court Monday, the FBI disclosed that it is investigating whether her five co-defendants have terrorist ties, with Prosecutor Tim DiScenza citing "connections" to the Sept. 11 attacks.

Smith, 49, was killed after the 1992 Acura Legend she was driving ran off the road early Sunday and struck a utility pole on U.S. 72 just north of the Mississippi state line, Highway Patrol Lt. Col. Mark Fagan said Tuesday.

Her car "was immediately engulfed in flames" but authorities don't know whether the fire started before or after the crash, he said. The body was so badly burned it took authorities until Tuesday to verify Smith's identity.
The cause of death remains under investigation.

At a federal court hearing for two defendants Monday, DiScenza called the crash "most unusual and suspicious."

A Yemeni man suspected of belonging to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network has blown himself up by accident while trying to escape security forces in the capital Sanaa, a Yemeni security official has said.

The official told Reuters on Wednesday that security forces had besieged the hideout of Samir Ahmed Mohammad al-Hada, 25, to question him about his links to the al Qaeda group, blamed by Washington for the September 11 attacks on the United States.

"He threw a hand grenade at the security forces, but it exploded beside him," the official said.

He said Yemen had been chasing Hada, who has many aliases, because he was believed to have received training "to carry out terrorist acts" while living in Afghanistan.

Yemen has been on alert for possible attacks on U.S. interests on its territory after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Monday that evidence of an imminent attack against the United States or U.S. interests in Yemen had emerged during interrogations of Afghan war prisoners.

It was not clear if Hada was linked to the plot.

Detectives were last night trying to unravel the circumstances in which a leading university research scientist was found dead at his blood-spattered and apparently ransacked home.

The body of Ian Langford, 40, a senior Fellow at the University of East Angliaís Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment, was discovered on Monday night by police and ambulancemen. The body was naked from the waist down and partly wedged under a chair. It is understood that doors to the terraced house were locked.

A post-mortem examination failed to establish how Dr Langford, who lived alone in the house in Norwich, died.

Dr Langford began working at the university in 1993 after gaining his PhD in childhood leukaemia and infection following a first-class honours degree in environmental sciences. He worked most recently as a senior researcher assessing risk to the environment.

Professor Kerry Turner, director of the centre, said: ìWe are all very shocked by this appalling news. Ian was without doubt one of Europeís leading experts on environmental risk, specialising in links between human health and environmental risk. He was known for his work on the effects on health of bathing water and air pollution, for example. He was one of the most brilliant colleagues I have ever had
