17th of February 2003 at Aviano base by a high number of US citizens. According to a logical sequence which follows the chronological happening of the facts, the enquiries (included those which brought to the identification of several kidnappers) were immediately rebuilt according to the moment of the kidnapping and to the transportation of the kidnapped person to Aviano, before describing what follows: 1 – the individuation of the airplane used for the violent and illegal transportation of Abu Omar to Egypt; 2 – the assurance of the possibility that the kidnapped Abu Omar would have been clandestinely taken inside the base of Aviano without informing the Italian authorities; 3 – the individuation of the accomplice or accomplices (obviously the accomplices must have been much more than one) of the kidnappers inside the Aviano base. We will be talking of the above in Paragraph “N” of the present document, even if we have to anticipate that the relative enquiries, even though generated by the declarations of ELBADRY Mohamed Reda, have taken this specific direction only after the Milan Digos had made sure that some users of mobile phones, present in the area of the kidnapping, immediately headed on the highway to Aviano, where they arrived between 4.30pm and 5pm of the 17th of February 2003, 60
phone located in Aviano base, a number of the US Consulate in Milan, and a mobile phone number used by the responsible of the CIA in Milan, apart from various phones in Virginia (USA), location of the CIA headquarters. 61
The proofs obtained from the analysis of the cd of the cell traffic, which means the traffic relative to mobile phones that would be transiting by the radiobase cells in the area of the kidnapping – via Guerzoni – on the 17th of February 2003 between 11am and 1pm, were relevant and decisive. Talking about the “radiobase cells”, we should mention that each company controls its own cells, and that the territorial extension of each one of those, as you can see in the graphic below, states that they should stand at a few hundreds meters distance one from another, (at least in the area we are interested in), which makes the next points we will discuss extremely significant. The witness Rezk Merfat, had indeed declared that she noted a van parked on the sideway, and next to it, against the wall, there was a man looking middle eastern: Abu Omar. According to the witness, seemingly Abu Omar had his documents checked by one of the kidnappers, who was talking on a mobile phone. For that reason, the Milan Digos requested the information relative to the mobile phone traffic in that specific area. In the following map, we have put in evidence in yellow, the road on which Abu Omar was walking: from his home in via Conte Verde 18 till via Guerzoni, where he was stopped that morning of the 17th of February 2003. In this same graphic, we have also put in evidence, all the radiobase cells of the area: TIM, VODAFONE, and WIND’s. After the analysis of traffic of the cells, obtained with a decree of the Public Prosecutor, the Digos of Milan noted that a group of SIM cards operating simultaneously on the spot of the kidnapping 62
analytic valuation, seemed abnormal and needed a deeper investigation. We must specify that the analysis of the traffic of the phones related to the cell has been effectuated by Milan Digos – who demonstrated, apart from rare professional skills, a capacity of using modern investigating instruments through a software that allows, on a specific basis of research, the analysis of thousands of data, a necessary thing in this case. To reduce the research field in a first phase, they first selected all the mobile phones that, in that moment (11/1) of the 17th of February 2003, were connected with each other and with both via Butti’s cells, which were the nearest to the place of the kidnapping (see map). So, it has been possible to individualize 11 mobile phones on this spot, those listed in the first part of the following tab.1. Near via Butti, other 6 mobile phones which were in contact with the previous 11, were individualized. The traffic between all those users seemed suspect for the following reasons: - the users of the above mobile phones, or most of them, calling from the same cell, and situated at a little distance one from the other, had called each other a certain number of times, for very short conversations, for a total of 62 phone calls. - The frequency of those calls got more intense when Abu Omar disappeared. - All the TIM SIM cards have been sold/activated between the month of November 2002 and
- Some of the cards were without nominee, some were registered under obvious fake names (often to identical names: 6 to Timofte Mihai, Rumanian citizen which has nothing to do with the facts and 3 to Riva Beniamino snc), and anyway, for almost all of them, it was not possible to individuate immediately the real user. The only exception is represented, as we see, by the Vodafone card registered at the name of the US citizen Adler Monica Courtney, existing and identified, but we will talk about her further. Following, a graphic that illustrates the contacts between the different phones we have stated, that helps understanding the close links that relate the users of those phones. Among the 17 different phones, 11 of them, n°19 and in yellow in the graphic, have called through the cell of Via Butti which covers the area around via Guerzoni, and proves that they all were on the spot on the 17th of February 2003. 63
another phone belonging to the same operative group, TIM card 3392191934 registered under the fictitious name of the Chinese citizen Zheng Lihuai, (we will talk about him further), but it has not been put in evidence in the graphic in the first phase of the enquiry. Following to the above considerations, authorized by Milan GIP, we have obtained the general traffic of all the above mobile phones, which we have reported in Tab. 1 stating beside each number, his owner and the period of activity of each. 64

kidnapping, on the spot or in the surroundings. General data and valuations. The analysis of the phone traffic produced by the above mentioned phones has given, since the beginning, elements confirming the theory that the users of these phones were actually the operative group that materially effectuated the kidnapping of the Egyptian Nasr Osama Mustafa Hassan @ Abu Omar, allowing at the same time to focus the investigative attention on the milieu of the cd “American intelligence”. Elements that are perfectly coherent with the reconstruction of the action, given by declarations, specially those of the Egyptian Elbadry Mohamed Reda who gave us details of the kidnapping in Italy, having been called from Egypt by Abu Omar, who had just been liberated after one year in jail. At this point, we shall examine few technical/investigative details, that directed the verifications towards a precise hypothesis: - all the phones we put in evidence in the above tab. have had a short life, only few months. They started doing or receiving calls between the months of November 2002 and January 2003 – except n°5 (activated September 23, 2002), n°8 (activated August 8, 2002) and n°11 (activated October 28, 2002) – and they all stopped their activity between the 17th and the 23rd of February 2003 (the days that followed immediately Abu Omar’s disappearance) , this period of time comprehend the preparatory and executive phases of the criminal event. This explains also the use of phone cards registered under fake names, in order not to permit the immediate individuation of the user; - Controlling the calls issued from those phones, we noted that there were contacts with American phones in Virginia, contacts with the American Consulate in Milan, and some phones were registered under the names of American citizens, which traffic relative to that precise period was obtained. - Four among the utilities present on the spot of the facts or in the nearby (3343101143, 3343176579, 3343211730, 3397946739, N°11,13,14 AND 15), after moving from via Guerzoni in Milan or from some other nearby street, have been connected with the cells situated on the highway Milan-Aviano, and after a period of time, which would be necessary to do this trip (about 5 hours), they all started connecting to cells situated in the surroundings of the Military base USAF in Aviano. This technical detail, goes hand in hand with the circumstances described by the witness Elbadry Mohamed Reda, who declared that Abu Omar told him on the phone that he has been transported to an American Military Base situated at about 5 hours distance from the place of the kidnapping, and that it could be Aviano. We must add, that during the investigations, other 9 numbers of mobile phones were individualized, included the four the mentioned above. Some of them are registered under the name of American citizens that went from Milan to Aviano in the hours following the kidnapping. - One of the four phones mentioned above, that went to Aviano (n°13 3343176579) called three times a mobile phone 3356122879 registered under the name: 31 Contracting Squadron (Base USAF-Aviano) whose user we already mentioned and we will mention after, between 2.44pm and 4.32pm of the 17th of Feb 2003. We deduce that they called to communicate the arrival of the vehicles to the base of Aviano. This phone was given and was used, at the moment of the facts, by the Ten. Col. Joseph L. III Romano, of the 31 SFS (Security Forces Squadron) Usaf, the American person responsible for the Security 66
facts, was transferred to the Pentagon 31P in Washington DC, where he presently works. - One of the phones (n°15 – 3397946739) present in Via Guerzoni at the moment of the facts, once arrived to Aviano, headed straight back to Milan. - Another phone (n°11 – 3343101143) left Aviano early the following day. - Two of the numbers present in the surroundings of Via Guerzoni on the 17th of February
- CALLING NUMBER - CALLED NUMBER - DATE/TIME - DURATION - 3388952825 - 0229035338 - 01.23.2003
- 0.00.24 - 3386567958 - 0229035388 - 01.31.2003
- 0.00.45 - Those same numbers (3386567958 and 3388952825) have contacted, between January and
- The user of the Vodaphone Card registered under the name of Suddath Barbara, has been identified as Robert Lady Seldon born in Honduras, d.o.b. 5.2.1954, who was at the period of the facts, the CIA responsible in Milan. The number had contacts with the SIM Cards 3388952825, 3338579242 and 3386567958, which were all present in Via Guerzoni and around at the moment of the kidnapping. - That same Vodaphone phone has been contacted three times, in February 2003, by another phone of the group (3338579242, n°5), - One of the cell phones contacted during the months of January and February, four American numbers in the State of Virginia (two of those were contacted 4 times the day of the disappearance of Nasr Osama Mostafa Hassan @ Abu Omar, after 6 pm): 0017033392919 – 0017036092915 – 0017036093952 – 0017037291152, which had contacts only with the number 3338579242 (registered under the name of Timofte Mihai, n°5), and the user was present on the spot and at the moment of the kidnapping; - As a result of the complete analysis of the traffic of all the telephones (over 40), some of them registered under the name of American citizens, we can deduce that the users of those phones, or at least a great number of them, were also present on the way that Abu Omar usually took from his house to the mosque of Viale Jenner in the days preceding the facts, technical detail that confirms the direct participation of those persons to the planning of the criminal act, with evident preparatory activity for the location and the observation of the movements of the victim. 67
confirming the relations existing between the users, has also put in evidence normal contacts with other cellular phones, some of them registered under the name of American citizens. We have asked to issue a decree to control their telephonic traffic. After a complete control, we have noted several contacts with hotels in Milan and other towns in North Italy, with Car Rental Agencies, with Airlines Companies. And so, following to those indications, the Judicial Police followed four directions: 1. telephones controls (contacts between different numbers, identification of IMEI codes of each of the used phones and eventually other cards used on the same phones, movements of the users of the phones (available through the study of the Radiobase). 2. Controls in Milan and other towns’ hotels that have been contacted by the users of those mentioned phones. 3. Controls of the Car Rental Agencies that have been contacted by the phones related to our enquiry. 4. Controls with the society of the Highway (Telepass or Viacard) to be able to identify the eventual vehicles used for the action and the following moves during the 17th of February 2003, specially on the road from Milan to Aviano. The information resulting from such controls has allowed us, at last, to identity several American citizens about whom we will talk in the present document, who are those who took part, under different roles, to the planning and the execution of the kidnapping of the Egyptian Abu Omar. In some cases, we have been able, with a reasonable margin of sureness, to attribute to each one the phone card he was using on the spot of the facts (Via Guerzoni); those persons have then had an operational part in the action. E. 2) Phone controls – 17 cards All contacts between the phones resulting from the enquiries, dates of activation and suspension, details of registration, identification of the real users and verification of their presence in important areas for the enquiry, are stated in TABLE 2, which will be the argument of the following paragraph M. Following you can find the details of the telephonic traffic relative to the 17 phones indicated in TABLE 1. For details regarding the phone cards, please consult the report dated 19th February 2005 made by Sovr. Germano Canil and V. Sovr D’Urso, enclosed to the Digos report dated 24th February 2005. To make the comprehension of the controls easier, we will start immediately examining the general traffic of the phone n°17, only SIM card of VODAFONE that was immediately individuated ( Yüklə 2,31 Mb.
