Chapter 766: bin Laden's warning
"President Lee, what do you think is going on?" Ban Ki-moon also finally eased up, and immediately asked Li Lan beside him.
"The specific situation is not clear, but I believe that this is not an oolong incident, since the other party can make a detonator that experts all over the world are helpless, how can it still keep the explosives silent? This is completely unreasonable, and the only explanation is that the other party deliberately focused the eyes of the whole world on the dam. Li Lan said lightly,
"You mean, bin Laden used this to get the attention of the counterterrorism center and focus most of his forces near the dam." Ban Ki-moon also understands this point.
"Yes, coupled with the fact that he used hacking to hack into Sudan's national television and mobile phone network signals and broadcasts, and spread this news, he is creating chaos and wants to make the whole Sudan chaotic, preferably beyond the control of the anti-terrorist forces, so that he can fish in troubled waters and escape Sudan." Li Lan also didn't mind stating bin Laden's purpose, because anyone with a little brain could figure out these things, "and the very important reason why he didn't blow up the dam was probably because he himself was within the scope of the dam." β
"The analysis is very reasonable, and I will immediately inform the international anti-terrorist organization."
Ban Ki-moon was about to take out his mobile phone as he spoke, but before he could dial, Li Lan opened his mouth to stop him and said: "It's not a hurry now, the anti-terrorist forces should start salvaging the explosives, so let's see if the situation is as we think." Again, if I just said that's the only one. The people of the international anti-terrorist organization can't think of it, so I advise you to change a group of people as soon as possible. β
Ban Ki-moon heard this. Nodding and putting down his phone, he quietly waited for the news to arrive again.
Merowe Dam. Panetta, who had just explained to the headquarters of domestic and international anti-terrorist organizations, also waited for the salvage personnel to salvage the explosives. Before, because the explosives were tightly attached to the dam, and there was a detonating device attached to it.
This is why the time limit was 10 minutes so that they could not remove the explosives from the dam.
Now that the detonating device has exploded, there is no need to worry about dismantling, so the dismantling work is very smooth. It's also very efficient. Soon, a row of plastic-coated explosives was placed on the dam.
When the bomb disposal personnel dismantled the explosives, they found that there were indeed traces of detonation inside, but it was clear that the explosives inside were only very small, and the device, which could have contained more than a ton of explosives, was stuffed with cotton and loess.
"Sure enough, I was tricked."
Panetta didn't feel at all that bin Laden still had a conscience, which he saw as a sign that bin Laden was also within reach of the dam. This also greatly strengthened his previous thoughts. "Immediately convey the order to conduct a carpet search of every piece of land in the blockade area, and at the same time immediately outside the first blockade circle, every hundred kilometers of kilometers. Lay out a new blockade. β
As soon as his order was delivered, his assistant came over with his mobile phone and reported, "Report." A minute ago, on the international social networking site Borderless, someone uploaded the latest video of bin Laden. Now the intelligence services are tracking the IP of the other side. And Sudanese state television, which has just been invaded again. The content of the video was also featured on Sudan's national television at the same time. β
Panetta took the phone, clicked on the paused video, and soon bin Laden's annoyed face appeared on the phone.
"Don't think that this time I missed, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to see the Sudanese people of the Arab world fall victim, most of you wouldn't have had the opportunity to see this video at this point. Don't push me, otherwise the explosive device will not be cotton and loess, but high-purity TNT explosives. β
As for whether it is really that he does not want to harm the innocent people of the Arab world, Panetta does not care, but listens attentively to bin Laden's next speech, "This is my gift to the world before I say goodbye to Sudan, I can infiltrate the Merowe Dam silently, maybe one day, I will appear in a place that you don't even think of, and do something that is a headache for you."
Especially the countries that participated in the round-up in Sudan this time, I hope that the people of these countries will listen to it, and it is better not to stay in your country for the rest of the time, because disaster will befall you at any time.
Originally, our enemies were white, but it was a pity. I was very reluctant to do anything about the non-white world, but now I feel like I was naΓ―ve. So, it's better to pray that you kill me sooner, otherwise, believe me, the clouds of terror will loom over more countries. β
The naked warning made everyone who saw this thing have a chilling feeling, especially in those European and American countries, and the atmosphere of terrorist attacks has spread again. At the same time, Japan, which participated in this anti-terrorist operation, has become a place where the eyes of countries around the world are focused.
Osama bin Laden's words made it clear that Japan was the only Asian country involved in the encirclement this time, and the only yellow-skinned.
However, the video is not over, this time bin Laden seems to be very talkative, and after the warning, there is more to come.
"Originally, I had always wanted to carry forward the spirit of resistance throughout the world and take revenge on the white people for the catastrophe that the Arab world has endured for thousands of years. But at that time, I was wrong, with money and benefits, anything is possible, so there is the death of my stand-in. So, since then, I have cut off all contact with the outside world, and I will never say a word to my family again, nor will I have any contact with anything, al-Qaeda is a spirit and a symbol, as long as I live for a day, the base will not perish.
At the same time, I also warn those organizations that are still relying on the reputation of the base or carrying out self-serving acts in the name of a terrorist organization, you are also my enemies, and it is you people who will bring the original base to destruction. β
Speaking of which, the video is over, this time bin Laden's appearance, although he did not continue to promote terrorism, but issued a series of war letters, directly targeting Japan and some terrorist organizations involved in the roundup.
After watching the video, Panetta didn't seem to care about bin Laden's words, but realized the news released from it.
In this video, bin Laden has a map behind him, and there are several television sets behind him, and the news appears to be playing on the television screens. β
"No need to check, the time is now." The assistant replied immediately.
"Has the original footage of the video been analyzed?" Panetta asked again.
"The technician has already analyzed it, and it is not a late insertion."
"So bin Laden still hasn't left his hiding place?" Panetta wondered.
"It should be, because these news are the content that has just been broadcast by the mainstream news of various countries, which is the result of the analysis based on subtitles." The assistant replied.
Having said that, Panetta didn't know why, but he always felt that there was something he hadn't thought of. It's just that his heart is slightly intersecting, and after thinking about it many times and still having no clue, he turned his attention away.
"Have you contacted the Somali side?" Panetta suddenly changed her voice.
"After the relay of the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, we have just received a response from the Somali Ministry of Defense, and they have agreed to cooperate with us in the search." Assistant's Road,
"Very well, immediately ask the Somali side to transmit satellite images of the area to the counter-terrorism command center in real time, and at the same time tell the Somali side that if they are willing to provide high-precision surface satellite numbers, it will bring more convenience to the roundup." Panetta ordered.
When the assistant heard this, he asked hesitantly: "But will Somalia be willing?" After all, this is their military secret. β
"Will it be as it is conveyed, and then say, this kind of thing is not forced." Panetta is also very clear that the second requirement is indeed excessive, after all, a country's military high-precision satellite, that is a very high military secret, what can the satellite reshoot, what kind of effect can be taken, whether it is effective against targets below the surface, and what kind of range can be detected by infrared thermal imaging on the surface.
What he wants in one breath is almost a country's cutting-edge achievements in the field of satellites, and it is impossible to disclose them to the outside world, even if it is a country that is easy to speak. Because once a war breaks out, these satellites will become a condition for the enemy to exploit and can be disguised in a targeted manner.
Therefore, Panetta did not really expect Somalia to agree to his request, of course, he also wanted to test the Somali side, if he could really gain a number of high-precision satellites about Somalia, it would also be a big gain.
Soon, this request was sent to the Somali Ministry of Defense, and Ling Liang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Defense, quickly kicked the ball into the hands of Li Lan, who was chatting with Ban Ki-moon to discuss the round-up of bin Laden.
When he saw Panetta's request, despite Ban Ki-moon's presence, he almost became furious: "Shame on face!" β
Li Lan's sudden anger made Ban Ki-moon also startled, and hurriedly asked: "President Li, what's wrong?" β
"The United States is really kicking its nose in the face, and I am kind enough to help, but it makes such an unreasonable request, why don't they provide Somalia with their high-precision satellite numbers." Li Lan's anger was naturally justified, but he didn't really get angry, but did it for Ban Ki-moon.
Ban Ki-moon also showed a hint of unhappiness on his face as a result of the content of the article handed over by Li Lan, and the United States' request was really a bit excessive. (To be continued......)
