Bosnian news magazine suggests Breivik’s Liberia contact may have been Milorad Pelemis

Bosnian news magazine, Slobodna Bosna, writes that Anders Behring Breivik’s contact in Liberia may have been Milorad Pelemis, MIGNews reports. In an interview with Dagbladet, however, Pelemis refutes the suggestion.

Milorad Pelemis was commander of The 10th Sabotage Detachment, a unit of the Main Staff of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), during the the Bosnian War, and fought against Muslims and NATO forces.

Breivik himself refuses to disclose details of a trip to Monrovia and London saying that he does not care whether the prosecutor believes him or not, but he does not want his testimony led to the arrests of people, whom he had promised not to reveal their names.

In fact this trip to Monrovia in April 2002, and then a trip to London proved.

On Thursday, Breivik said a new and somewhat surprising information. He said one person informed about upcoming attacks in advance.

“Maybe the one who knew about it, changed his attitude to these actions in retrospect. I do not know,” – said Breivik.

During further interrogation, he refused to speak to who he was.

In court, Breivik only confirmed that I was in Monrovia in April 2002, and in the same months in London, attended the first meeting of the Knights Templar, where he represented the mysterious Serb, who met in Liberia.

According to him, in this network, there are six people, two Norwegians and four others abroad. In court, he made it clear that one of the six knew about his plans in advance.

On Thursday, while Breivik testified in court about the events in Uta, the Bosnian edition of “Slobodna Bosna” reported that on Friday in the printed version will be released a comprehensive article on how it is in contact with anyone Breivik. According to the publication, Breivik could occur in the Milorad Pelemishem, one of the military commanders who took part in the massacre at Srebrenica in July 1995.

The magazine refers to the closed and the “well informed” sources. “Slobodna Bosna” is known as one of the most important magazines in the country….

Pelemis was Commander of the 10th sabotage unit, which is accused of complicity in mass killings in Srebrenica in 1995. Several members of this unit was later in Liberia as mercenaries. According to the Bosnian news magazine, was Pelemis in Liberia at the time Anders Breivik Behring was there.

But Pelemis deny at all to have been in the war-torn African country.

- Until 2001 I was imprisoned because of spider affair. Afterwords the authorities took my passport. I’ve never been to Liberia, says Pelemis.

Spider affair came to media exposure of a network of Serbian assassins that also carried out missions abroad. Dagbladet has not been able to get confirmed whether Pelemis was imprisoned in this case.

When asked if he knows any Serb war veterans who worked in Liberia, Pelemis thinks a little.

- No, I do not know anyone who has worked in Liberia, he says….

Breivik maintains that Knights Templar network exists

Anders Behring Breivik maintains that there exists “a loosely organized network that identifies themselves with ‘the Crusader identity’” in his recent critique of the first psychiatric report which he sent to three Norwegian newspapers (VG, ABC Nyheter and Dagbladet), reports ABC Nyheter. According to ABC Nyheter, Breivik refers to the network as the “KT-Network” in the document.

Dagbladet apparently misunderstood one sentence in Breivik’s letter and reported the opposite of ABC Nyheter: that Breivik wrote that the Knights Templar is fictitious. After many other news organizations had re-reported the story, Dagbladet changed the article (see Google translations below) without notice to readers.

One of Breivik’s lawyers, Tord Jordet, later made it clear to Dagbladet that the sentence Dagbladet based its original story on should not be interepreted as meaning the Knights Templar does not exist. “He stands firm on that the organization exists and that he is connected to a secret network,” Jordet said to Dagbladet.

Breivik’s critique of the first psychiatric report is reportedly thirty-eight pages long. It is not known why the newspapers which received it have chosen to only publish fragmented pieces.

Breivik maintains claims of contact network
04/04/2012

In the letter Breivik has sent to VG, Dagbladet and ABC Nyheter from prison, he maintains that there exists a “KT-Network”, that is a “loosely connected network that identifies itself with ‘the Crusader identity’.”

He mentions three persons he shall have met in London in 2002 and “the Serbian” he shall have met in Liberia the same year. In addition, he claims that in the period 2002-2011 he shall have been in contact with two persons who have “all or part of their presence in Norway.”

“My use of the word Commander is a reference that is used in the compendium where I refer to myself as a cell commander. It is used in relation to me being connected with two other individuals/cells in Norway,” claims Breivik.

The question of whether Breivik had accomplices, have been central in the police investigation….

Breivik receives letters of support and encouragement

Anders Behring Breivik has received letters of support and encouragement reports Norwegian newspaper, Verdens Gang (VG). Breivik is held in a high-security section of Ila Prison and all correspondence is read by prison personnel. VG has gained access to copies of some of the letters and has published anonymized excerpts.

One Norwegian citizen currently living in Lithuania wrote: “The Polish guy probably will probably fix a helicopter in the large excercize enclosure in a couple of years when things have calmed down and Brazil for you!” The writer also states that he met Breivik in a pub in Oslo in 2002.

Another letter Breivik received over Christmas contained only six blank pages numbered with Roman numerals one to six (I-VI).

VG also writes that Breivik has reportedly received two undated letters from a pseudonymous author calling himself “The Architect”:

“Hi Anders! Thank you for a well conducted operation, but it is of course sad that you are where you are now. The whole group greets you and thank you for the strike against the communist rule”. The letter also contained a brief note to the police: “Letter and envelope are free from fingerprints and DNA. We are not stupid.”

From the second letter:

“Hi Anders. Here is a small greeting from the group. Both you and we know you are not psychotic, but a fully aware person that sacrified yourself for the cause. We will always stand by you and you shall not lack anything.”

At the bottom of the page is written: “With Norwegian combat greeting. The Architect.”

Newspaper claims Breivik intends to establish network of imprisoned resistance fighters

Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet, writes that in police questioning Anders Behring Breivik has stated that he intends to contact other Europeans who are imprisoned for carrying out right-wing attacks in order to establish a new network.

According to Dagbladet, Breivik stated to the police that Peter Mangs “is perhaps the greatest resistance fighter” in Scandinavia before 7/22. Mangs is suspected of being responsible for a year long series of sniper shooting attacks in Malmö, a crime-ridden city in the southern part of Sweden with a large Muslim community and where more than 30% of the current population was born abroad.

Dagbladet writes that Breivik refers to Peter Mangs and other right-wingers responsible for similar attacks, such as members of Braune Armee Fraktion (Brown Army Faction) in Germany, as participants of an anti-communist resistance movement throughout Europe that in total are responsible for more than fifty attacks since WWII.

In court, Breivik explained that he represents the Norwegian resistance movement and that he is a cell commander of an organization called Knights Templar. According to statements by the police and his lawyers, he refuses to name any of his contacts.

During WWII, the Norwegian resistance movement operated as multiple organizations in order to make detection and infiltration by the enemy more difficult, and both violent and non-violent methods were employed.

Dagbladet is informed that Breivik has explained [in questioning] that he will start a new network of imprisoned, anti-Islamist nationalists.

This shall be a pan-European prison network. Breivik has explained to police that he wishes that the network eventually will include Russian and Danish right-wing extremists, that he claims he has contact with, and right wing extremist MC-groups….

Norwegian police still uncertain if Breivik met Milorad Ulemek in Liberia

Aftenposten and Dagbladet have both published a story provided by the Norwegian press agency, NTB, which reports that the Norwegian police have still not received a response to their request for information from Serbian police regarding several Serbian citizens that they believe Anders Behring Breivik may have met on his trip to Liberia in 2002.

According to previous statements from the police and Breivik’s lawyers, Breivik has, throughout police questioning, refused to name his contacts. The police have, however, stated that Milorad Ulemek is one of the persons they suspect Breivik refers to when he says he met a Serbian war hero in Liberia in 2002.

The recent NTB article claims that, in February, Aftenposten reported that Breivik had communicated to police that he had met Ulemek. As far as AttackOnTheLaborParty is aware, such an article was never published by Aftenposten. If it had been, this would have been in contradiciton to all other news reports and statements by the police and Breivik’s lawyers. Also, none of the other newspapers ever reported on this alleged revelation by Breivik which is surprising given how significant such a fact would be.

On February 18th, Aftenposten wrote: “The terror accused 33 year old has claimed that he met a ‘Serbian war hero’ during his visit to Liberia. They shall have become aquainted through the internet. He has never been willing to say who this [person] was.” It thus seems that NTB’s claim that Breivik has given the name of a contact to the police is incorrect as it is based on a non existing source.

Ulemek was a commander in the Serbian forces during the Kosovan War, fighting against Muslims and NATO forces in the Balkans. At the end of the war, special forces from the Norwegian military were the first NATO ground forces entering Kosovo, and among the first to enter Pristina.

Norwegian police have sent 41 requests to 26 countries in an attempt to find out about Brevik’s contacts, reportedly with limited success. The Police Security Service (the PST) recently wrote in their evaluation report that Breivik had been planning the attacks for several years and been extremely security conscious.

Google translation [edited for clarity]:

No Breivik-response from Serbia
March 25, 2012

Six months after the Norwegian police sent a formal legal request to Serbia with questions about the Serbs who may have met Breivik, a reply has not yet been received.

The request was sent 27 september last year, but a reply is lacking.

“We have not received [it],” says Kraby.

The police have sent a total of 41 such requests to 26 different countries to clear up eventual contacts and connections of Breivik abroad. In addition, the police is working on sending an additional two court requests, whereof one to China, according to Hjort Kraby.

Met Serbian?

The investigation abroad is important considering possible helpers. Breivik himself in his massive compendium “2083″ claimed that he took part in the founding of an international “Templar order” in London in the spring of 2002. The group was allegedly to lead the war against Muslims in Europe.

Breivik claims in the compendium that before the London meeting he met a Serbian “war hero” and “crusader” who was in hiding in the Liberian capital of Monrovia.

Aftenposten wrote in February that Breivik has informed [the police] that the person in question is Milorad “Legija” Ulemek. Ulemek is imprisoned in Serbia and is serving a sentence of 40 years in prison for the murder of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in March 2003.

The prosecutor for war crimes in Serbia, said already in January to the NTB that they had no indications that Milorad “Legija” Ulemek was in Liberia at any time in the late 1990s or early 2000s….

Since January when communication restrictions at Ila Prison (Ila Fengsel) were lifted, Anders Behring Breivik has received many letters from private individuals, one of Breivik’s lawyers, Vibeke Hein Bæra, told NRK. Several of these have responded to communication from Breivik, she explained. Bæra told NRK that Breivik is primariy interested in corresponding with people who share his ideology.

Bæra also told NRK that Breivik spends much time thinking about to what degree his ideas, and particularly those communicated in his manifest, have taken root in society.

After letters and visits controls were lifted in January, Breivik received numerous letters from individuals in the cell, confirming the defender Vibeke Hein Bæra.

Several have also responded directly to requests from the terror suspect 33-year-old, said the lawyer told NRK.

“He is primarily concerned with writing letters to what he defines as like-minded, and that shares his ideology. He receives many letters in prison, both from like-mind and other types of inquiries. They [the letter writers] do not support [his] actions, but there are many [of them] who share his ideology. Some of these people have written back to him,” said Bæra.

She does not rule out that some of the people Breivik have contact with may be relevant as witnesses at trial….

Norwegian police investigating possible contact between Breivik and Milorad Ulemek

NRK reports that, according to police documents which NRK has seen, the Norwegian police are investigating possible contact between Anders Behring Breivik and Milorad Ulemek, a former commander of the Serbian secret police special unit, the Red Berets. Ulemek was a commander in the Serbian forces during the Kosovan War, fighting against Muslims and NATO forces in the Balkans. At the end of the war, special forces from the Norwegian military were the first NATO ground forces entering Kosovo, and among the first to enter Pristina.

Breivik has told police that the organization that he represents, the Knights Templar, was created in 2002 as a result of the NATO bombing of Christians in Serbia, and that the reason he travelled to Liberia in 2002 was to meet a Serbian war hero. Breivik has been unwilling to say whom he met in Liberia, but according to NRK the police believe this person may have been Milorad Ulemek. Dagbladet writes that on September 27, 2011, the Oslo Police sent a request for information about Ulemek in Serbia.

NRK also writes that another European right-wing activist, Nick Greger, has connections to Liberia. Nick Greger is the leader of an organization called Order 777 and, according to NRK, has ties to the organization Breivik says he represents, the Knights Templar. NRK says that Greger published a video about a year ago in which he praises Milorad Ulemek, and that in the video there is a picture of a kneeling Templar Knight, the same symbol used in Breivik’s manifest (“2083: A European Declaration of Independence”). Nick Greger is a frequent poster of videos online, some of which can be viewed on his YouTube channel.

The Belfast Telegraph reported in July 2011 that Nick Greger attended a gathering in Malta in February of that year together with Johnny Adair, a former leader of “C Company”, 2nd Battalion Shankill Road, West Belfast Brigade of the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF), and Paul Ray, one of the original founders of the English Defence League (EDL). A YouTube video entitled “The Gathering” uploaded Feb 28, 2011, shows Paul Ray, Nick Greger and Johnny Adair together visiting churches around Malta.

Paul Ray has condemned the 7/22 attacks, but according to The Belfast Telegraph, he confirmed to the Associated Press the existence of a loosely organized group inspired by the Knights Templar. According to The Belfast Telegraph, Ray refused to name any members so as not to indicate the size of the organization, but he stated the following: “It’s an idea. It’s not like it’s a massive organization. It’s a belief.”

In his compendium (“2083: A European Declaration of Independence”), Breivik speaks positively about Milorad Ulemek. According to Dagbladet, Breivik has explained to the Norwegian police that, in many ways, much of the symbolism of the Knights Templar organization is from Serbia.

“NATO made it impossible for Serbia to deport Muslims. They therefore began to ‘kill one another,’” Breivik has said in questioning….

Lena Andreassen, who was reported missing by Interpol on September 29, 2011, and kept captive for almost a month by former members of the English Defence League, says in an interview with Dagbladet that she is afraid of the consequences if what she has said in police interviews becomes publicly known. Dagbladet writes that Andreassen knows that a Norwegian news organisation is sitting on the information and intends to publicize it.

Andreassen, who says she kicked Behring Breivik out of the Norwegian Defence League (NDL), took control of the newly formed NDL in March of last year, a couple of weeks after the head of the Norwegian PST (Police Security Service), Janne Kristiansen, first informed the public of the NDL in the PST’s annual press briefing.
