SSzioninazi security companies take control in so call terrorist atack in London

Verint Systems, the Israeli security company contracted to manage and

operate London Underground's CCTV network - which also lost crucial

footage of the 7/7 bombers and the shooting of Jean Charles De Menezes

- faces fraud charges in New York

Crooked Israeli Company Still Has 30 Year London Underground CCTV

Contract

Verint Systems, the Israeli security company contracted to manage and

operate London Underground's CCTV network has become embroiled in a

serious fraud case in New York. Ex Chief Executive of parent company

Comverse Technologies, Jacob 'Kobi' Alexander faces legal action to

bring him back to the U.S. for trial after absconding with $13 million

and being arrested in Namibia.

Contractual arrangements are complicated by the collapse of Metronet

which signed the thirty year CCTV contract with Verint ten months

before the 7/7 London bombs.

The 'stock option backdating' scandal first came to light last year in

the Wall Street Journal. Kobi Alexander is wanted for cheating

shareholders out of nearly $6.5 million dollars by illegally

backdating the buying and selling of lucrative stock options.

Alexander is accused of laundering the money through accounts set up

under fictitious names such as I. M. Fantom (I am phantom). The

Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates companies listed

on the New York stock exchange, is seeking Alexander's extradition

from Namibia on 35 counts of fraud.

Verint Systems, meanwhile, was suspended from the New York NASDAQ list

in February 2007 because it hadn't filed financial statements required

by law. Eyebrows have been raised particularly because Verint is

entrusted with the safety and security of three million people a day

on the tube.

Both companies are close relations with Western Intelligence Agencies.

They provide telephone surveillance software and mobile phone

voicemail software used to gather information on those suspected of

being 'terrorists' or 'subversives'. They are also one of the

companies providing systems for recording phone calls automatically

through numbered menu systems.

Possibly more worrying are the close links between these companies and

the Israeli Army. Both Kobi Alexander and the present CEO of Verint

are ex Israeli Army officers. Chief Executive of Verint, Daniel

Bodner, was an officer in the Israeli Engineers. Latest news is that

the two companies, Comverse and Verint, plan to split.

Serious concerns remain about the lack of London Underground CCTV

images of the London Bombers on 7th July itself, as opposed to those

published of a 'dummy run' of the bombing suspects two weeks earlier.

Also an exercise on 7/7 by Visor Consultants with imaginary bombs at

the exact four locations where the real bombs went off has raised more

questions than it has answered.

Also to be considered is the vanishing CCTV footage from Stockwell

Underground Station of the moments leading up to the killing of

Brazilian Electrician Jean Charles De Menezes. LU staff handed checked

and correct CCTV tapes over to the Metropolitan Police but were later

told there was

nothing on them.

The 2005 London bombs' targeting of innocent members of the public

mirrors attacks in 1980 at Bologna Railway Station in Italy where 85

people died, and the Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich where 13

perished. These bombings were later discovered to have been carried

out by far-right fascist units of NATO's Operation Gladio, not the

left wing Red Brigades and Baader Meinhof as originally announced in

the press. These and other disturbing questions will only be answered,

and the safety of London's transport staff and travelling public

restored by a full and open public enquiry into the events of 7th July

2005.
