Libyan leader Muammar el Qaddafi's government issued an INTERPOL "Red Notice" arrest warrant for Osama Bin Laden over three years prior to the 911 attacks on the United States. WMR has obtained a copy of the original Confidential limited distribution INTERPOL arrest warrant issued for the arrest of Bin Laden and three of his associates on March 16, 1998. The warrant named Bin Laden and three confederates for the killing of two German nationals near Sirt in 1994. This was at a time when a French Eyes Only intelligence report stated that Bin Laden was still under the operational control of U.S. and British intelligence (see Aug. 21 article below). The Red Notice for Bin Laden was issued some five months prior to the deadly "Al Qaeda" terrorist bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. It was only after those attacks that the Clinton administration took military action against Bin Laden's operational centers in Afghanistan and Sudan. The Red Notice contains the curious statement: "Extradition will be requested from any country except Israel."
