| 2005-06-14 |
| The French TV Channel 5 stated today that a ransom of 75 millions US Dollars was paid to Haiyat Ulama Moslemen of Hareth Al-Thari to release the French journalist Florence Aubenas. The TV stated that this ransom was paid to save Jacque Chirac in the next election. FA was kidnapped in Jan 2005 by one of the terrorists group which has a link with Al-Thari group. Althari is like the God-father for the terrorists groups and the outside negotiations with the kidnappers always occur through him and his group. Today the Iraqi forces and US forces raid his house and found arms but he was not there. Many times this man and his son and his group stated that they got strong link with the terrorists groups and they pay a great respect and support for Zarqawi. |
