The Lake Annecy Murders: Can we just blame the Jews and move on?
THE Lake Annecy Murders: A catch-up on the news of a massacre that has almost vanished from the news cycle.
Saad al-Hilli, 50, an engineer, his wife Iqbal, 47, his 74-year-old Swedish mother-in-law, Suhaila Al-Allaf and Frenchman Sylvain Mollier were murdered.
David Aaronovitch tells Times readers:
A persistent fall-back theory for almost any high-profile unexplained death is that “Mossad done it”. One author, Gordon Thomas, who had a best-seller with his imaginative Gideon’s Spies, has Mossad killing Robert Maxwell and playing a hand in the death of Princess Diana.
On Saturday, the Daily Mail published a long piece by David Jones under the headline: “Was Mossad behind the Alps murders?” Apparently Jones and “a team of Mail reporters” had “spent the past week probing the mystery” of the hitman-style killing of Saad al-Hilli, his family and a French cyclist.
Should what the Mail supposes be the basis for any sensible article?
But despite (or possibly because of) the stupidity of the Mail’s piece, expect to see a whole lot more on this on an internet site near you. If that anonymous security analyst would like to come forward and change my mind, they should. But I’m not holding my breath.
The Mail’s article began:
Was Mossad behind the Alps murders? There is no shortage of theories over the slaughter of a Surrey family… but could there be a more sinister explanation?
More sinister than a child being shot in the head and four people murdered?
…a respected Middle East security analyst, who declined to be named. He believes the al-Hillis and the French cyclist could have been conspirators in a plot to supply nuclear material to Iran — and been eliminated by state-sponsored Israeli assassins.
Can we at least know which country this analyst is from? Who is he respected by?
..one commentator who thinks it is plausible is Roger Howard, author of several authoritative books on Middle Eastern affairs, the next of which will examine a chilling assassination programme carried out on European soil by the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad.
Man thinks what an unnamed expert thinks is plausible.
After that insight, Get Surrey has news:
THE timing of a Claygate family’s murder in the French Alps has been narrowed down after police found a camera with their photos taken on the day of their killing…French prosecutor Eric Maillaud said the family posed for the images outside a house in the village of Arnand. The images retrieved from the family’s BMW show “a real family photograph”, Mr Maillaud said.“Both women were smiling and did not seem worried. This suggests that everyone was relaxed at the time.”
Smiling for a photo can, apparently, reveal something.
The Scotsman has news:
Mr al Hilli had begun proceedings in an attempt to prove his father’s will had been forged, reports say. Several versions of the will, worth £4 million, were found in the family’s caravan near Annecy in south-eastern France, sources said… “Saad had all his life on his laptops, and he stored documents on foreign servers which are all over the world,” Eric Maillaud, chief prosecutor in Annecy, said.
He kept a stun gun at his home. Or as the Express puts it:
FRENCH ALPS MASSACRE VICTIM HAD TASER
No. Not on him when he was murdered.
The Mirror says the stun gun at Saad Al-Hilli’s home was “illegal”. Was Mr al-Hilli worried? The Mirror reports:
Saad al-Hilli – who was killed with wife Iqbal and his mother-in-law – acted after an alleged row with his estranged brother Zaid over who owned the £1million house, according to Radio 4’s The Report. He is said to have told friends and neighbours he feared losing the property in Claygate, Surrey.
The locks had been changed not longer before the killings.
The Mail then adds:
The slaughter of a British family in the Alps could be linked to money found hidden in a Geneva bank account.
Mossad?
France24 had earlier reported:
Swiss prosecutors have confirmed that a British man of Iraqi origin killed with three members of his family visited a bank in Geneva shortly before he was murdered, according to a Swiss news report…the Tribune de Geneve newspaper on Friday reported that Hilli had visited Geneva, and said that prosecutors there believed his trip to the banking capital of Europe was “linked to the murders”. Swiss broadcaster RTS also carried the report on Friday, saying that a bank account seized by Swiss authorities had belonged to Hilli’s father.
Was he in Mossad?
Such are the facts.

Mrs. Mahatma…I wish you would stop pretending to be a provocative Israeli jew….no one really believes you…

mr. man, none of the 5* hotels in Tel Aviv are cheap, nor is the booze. As you said the girls are some of the most beautiful in the world & a walk along the T.A. promenade from Jaffa in the south all the way north to the old Sheraton beach ( just north of the Hilton ) is a must for ” birdwatchers ” especialy since the ” hot mini bikini season ” is 9 months long. ( best to wear rayban shades to avoid eyestrain ) .

posting in dubai or terhan?
.
I will leave that to you mossad lot.
.
Vezarat-e Ettela’at va Amniat-e Keshvar (VEVAK) are currently offering an all inclusive extended holiday at a 5* Tel Aviv beach resort, surrounded by cheap booze, cheap fags and some of the most beautiful women in the world.
.
And the best part is. All you need to do is chat up and bed as many hot IDF girls as you can. I already have experience in this field, so i’m pretty sure i will progress to the 2nd interview stage without too much hassle,aparently they want you to have read some book or something, I dunno, I will see if I can get away with just watching the film. Aparently some american made a version of it not too long ago, and people liked it enough to take to the streets.

Dear readers, in particular – evil, Sirbizalot, mr. man, The Real Stig etc . As you all know an Anorak is a Coat & I too have a coat in my ID too. Put 2 & 2 together & you will see that this website is a ” Zionist Front Organisation ” designed to entrap & expose rabid anti-semites & also recruit potential Mossad agents. We offer excitement & travell to exotic places such as Dubai & Teheran, so if you have a valid British passport & a yen to blow bad people up please let me know ASAP since our team in Teheran is being expanded right now.
Sincerley Mahatmacoatmabag, your pal in Tel Aviv.

“I’m someone of a Yiddish yellow background, maybe?”…funny Sirbazalot, I would never have guessed you were a Jew….just goes to show …you never can tell.
p.s. I think your statement says a lot…about what you really are & why Anorak has kept the comments closed on the subject.
October 16th, 2012 at 10:27 am
@sirbazalot. Yea what the fuck is up with that. It’s a pretty contentious topic to start with, and the article is far far from objectively written. And then the comments are closed?
.
I for one are disappoint.
.
I was looking forward to mahatmacoatmabag calling me a rampant Jew hating nazi for pointing out than in the context of the joke, it’s pretty clear that “Jews” meant Israeli’s.
It’s pretty common for people to use the terms Jew and Arab when discussing the situation. Especially in Israel and Palestine, so if anything Frankie was being sensitive to regional customs
.
Also, does anyone remember those posts we had last week, you know the ones where Anorak was presenting itself as the bastion protector of free speech. So what changed you’re mind then Anorak?
.
Did Mossad get you?
October 16th, 2012 at 9:53 am
I think Jimmy Saville did it. Think of the children. Good thing he wasn’t Jewish, otherwise Anorak would have a whole lot more to get defensive and paranoid about.

‘Spurned Paedo, Mosssad agent Jimmy Saville, murders child in Alps’
October 16th, 2012 at 9:45 am
It’s a good thing Jimmy Saville wasn’t Jewish.
.
Seriously Anorak, you seem to have a bee under your bonnet. If you do a bit of searching, you will will also find theories relating to the Czech secret service or Serbian Mafia.
.
It’s the old Occam’s Razor at work. People, including myself, will shout Mossad if there are aspects that might fit.
.
The way the whole episode seems to be rapidly fading from view is bit curious.
October 16th, 2012 at 9:36 am
@evil – or perhaps a suicide like wot with David Kelly weapons expert. nothing suspect about that one eh.
.
The fact that the child was shot would indicate it’s likely someone that is known to that child. Kids make pretty shite witnesses, unless they can turn around and say – it was uncle Frank. But then again, I’m only basing that on conjecture.

“Frankie Boyle is not a racist: he just picks on soft targets like Jews and the disabled.”
Who wrote this piece and why can’t we comment?
I’m someone of a Yiddish yellow background, maybe?
October 15th, 2012 at 11:44 pm
If it was British secret service , they would be more subtle about it … maybe stage a car crash in a tunnel … use a white Fiat…oh
October 15th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
The Daily Mail was obviously ” Ordered ” to try to pin the murders on the Mossad to deflect attention from the fact that some other inteligence agency was involved
