Annecy shooting-Speculation or coincidence.

 

 

Coincidences do happen in life but most times the  term is used to explain something that was deliberate in nature but considered too unpalatable to consider being anything than just a strange twist of fate.

Some events stretch the coincidence explanation  beyond the realms of possibility .

Take the Annecy shooting -if the story as told is to believed we would have to accept that  a family man from Surrey  on holiday with his family is gunned down along with his wife and another woman at random in France by persons unknown who also gunned down an innocent cyclist who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Possible I suppose  on face value but rather like trying to read a book with every other page missing we need more information to get the full story.We now have some more information to make a more accurate judgemnt on whether the coincidence explanation for the shootings is realistic or even plausible.

Firstly Saad Al-Hilli was not just a family man on a preplanned holiday with his family.

Al Hilli was known by the security services  because of his links to regimes in the Middle East hostile to the West and Israel and who are keen to obtain nuclear technology despite western sanctions working against them.

Al Hilli is Iraqi by birth but his father fled the country and ended up in the UK.

Al Hilli worked as an engineer in the aerospace industry  but despite this he had money in Swiss bank accounts and properties across Europe including the million pound house in Claygate and other properties in France,Italy ,Switzerland and Iraq.This raises the question why did he go on regular caravan holidays to France when he has property there and access to funds way beyond that of a humble Engineer.

The holiday was planned in a bit of a rush by all accounts and they picked up on the way another woman who was said to be Al Hillis mother in law but strangely was unknown as that by his children who would surely have know their own grandmother.

So far the story is plausible but verging on the unlikely.

Next however we must consider  at the same time and in the same general location in Annecy that Al Hilli  decided to take a short notice caravan holiday with his family and an unknown other woman a Frenchman(Sylvian Mollier) lived and decided to cycle to a remote parking area that Al Hilli and his family were waiting in their car.By apparent unfortunate coincidence Mollier was shot five times because he supposedly witnesses the shooting of Al Hilli ,his wife and the other unknown woman in their BMW.


The story is still plausible (just) but getting more and more unlikely.

What tips the coincidence theory over to not plausible and highly unlikely is the fact that "Mollier was not merely a keen mountain bike rider. He held a senior post with Cezus, a company based in the nearby small town of Ugine and owned by Areva, the giant multi-national that leads the way in the research and development of nuclear power.A spokesman told  he had been employed for many years as a senior production manager specialising in nuclear fuel cladding made from zirconium "

So by all appearance Al Hilli was acting as some sort of middle man to pass nuclear secrets from scientists like Mollier to Arab nations keen to obtain nuclear weapons technology.

Ok its a bit of speculation but more likely than the "in the wrong place at the wrong time coincidence theory".Sadly if Al Hilli,his wife and the unkown woman were bumped off along with Mollier to prevent the mad mullahs in the Middle East obtaining the capability to wipe the only non Arab nation in the middle east off the map then its unfortunate for their kids but better 4 dead than 4 million+ dead as a result of nuclear weapons being lobbed around.

Annecy shooting-Bomb disposal called to Claygate home.

The bomb squad have left the home of the British family shot dead in the French Alps after they were called in when police discovered 'concerning' items.

This gets more and more interesting.The authorities from day one have been trying to spin the story of a feud between family members  which resulted in the shooting but I dont buy that for one moment.
Put simply this was a professional job executed by two people using automatic handguns so the chances of a family member being able to arrange this hit in a foreign country at short notice using trained killers is just not credible given that you cant just rock up to assassins R us and order your hit.
The family were Iraqis yet the father seems to have managed to land a job with a satellite manufacturer in Guildford despite,it appears, having been of interest to special branch for years.

Questions abound but most concerning is the fact that a foreign national from a hostile country can get a job with a defence sensitive company that not only manufactures satellites but also provides
the launch capability to get them into orbit.It would be like in the second world war giving a German with nazi sympathies a job in a factory manufacturing  spitfires.

Next question would have to be where did this chap get all his money from as he seems to have been doing quite well for himself given that he worked as an Engineer.I dont know any employed engineers that could afford a huge house in Claygate let alone houses (allegedly)in France and Switzerland.We now have the situation where obviously something potentially explosive has been found in the back garden shed which warrants not just the Fire Service but also Army bomb disposal to attend.Now we all know just how useless the Police are and would panic if they found a box of caps but we must assume something quite sinister was found to justify the Army turning up.

Speculation has been rife that this was a security service hit arranged by a Middle East country that would be interested in preventing rocket technology and advanced satellite technology falling into the hands of another Middle East Country.The answer is no one knows and the truth is we are not going to know because the British and French government are not going to tell us.There will be a Police investigation but nothing will come of it and it will all be quietly forgotten about.I am sure the British and French security services already know who did it but they are not about to let on that foreign assassins can enter Europe to plan and execute a mission like this and then just disappear into the ether never to be seen again.
Tragic as this incident is for the children concerned on the balance of probabilities and with the information available at this time I would say that Mr Al Hilli was probably playing with fire and got
burned .The mission was certainly a professional job and maybe just maybe prevented some mad mullah in the middle east getting the capability of launching something beyond their borders.Who knows but what I do know is that whatever the Police/Press try to feed us will not be anywhere approaching the truth.One thing for certain is that it was definitely not an MI6 or French Security operation because they would have used the "boston brakes" car crash technique to bump them off which has worked for them and other western european security services for many years.
This was less subtle but equally effective and sends a message that is hard to ignore.


Definitely more to come on this story.
