An FBI officer has sworn in an affidavit that former PNCR parliamentarian Abdul Kadir, indicted over a conspiracy to blow up the JFK airport in 2007, had links to Iranian Moshen Rabbani who was charged in Argentina for masterminding a deadly attack on a Jewish centre.


Abdul Kadir

US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officer, Robert Addonizio made this disclosure in a recent affidavit in a Brooklyn Federal Court in an attempt to convince Judge Dora Irizarry that all evidential material before the court was seized in accordance with the law. The prosecution was forced to make this move after Kadir and his co-accused, Russell Defreitas, a Guyanese with US citizenship who has since claimed to be ‘the brain’ behind the alleged conspiracy, applied to have evidence gathered during the investigation suppressed.

The agent’s affidavit shed light on the local investigation in this case which investigators here had been silent on.

According to Addonizio, in June of 2007 Guyanese lawmen obtained and executed two warrants to search Kadir’s Linden residence and it was during one of the searches that documents establishing a relationship between him and Rabbani were uncovered.

Rabbani-who was a cultural attaché at the Iranian embassy in Argentina in 1994- is being sought for allegedly masterminding the 1994 car-bombing that killed 85 people and injured hundreds more at the Jewish Mutual Association of Argentina (AMIA).

The FBI agent said that Kadir- whose only contact with the US was back in 1996 when he was intransit on his way to and from The Bahamas- is linked to the plot through telephone conversations and surveillance.

The officer argued that the search by the Guyanese lawmen and those in Trinidad, who had examined his luggage after he was arrested in that country on his way to Iran through Venezuela, were all done in accordance with the laws of the two countries.

“Trinidadian law enforcement further advised that it had initially turned over Kadir’s luggage to a third party, but later had obtained and executed a warrant, issued under Trinidadian law, to seize and search the luggage. The luggage contained, among other items, the thumb drive that is referenced in Kadir’s motion to suppress”, the agent deposed.

The FBI agent swore that on or about June 3, 2007 and June 10, 2007 Guyanese law enforcement agents conducted two searches and it was during the first that the documents were found.

He said he was present during the second of the two searches done at the home of Kadir in Linden and it was executed in the presence of his family members and among the items seized were two computer hard drives which were not searched until they were taken to the US.

“Guyanese law enforcement turned over the hard drives and other evidence to JTTF (New York Joint Terrorism Task Force) and FBI agents present in Guyana including myself, and the FBI shipped the evidence to New York. The hard drives were never searched in Guyana. In an abundance of caution, the JTFF sought and obtained a warrant to search the hard drives, issued by United States Magistrate Judge Joan M Azrack of the Eastern District of New York on July 5, 2007”.

He related that the drives were then searched with the assistance of FBI computer forensic experts for documents, video clips, photographs and other relevant files.

Again we have seen the terrorist nature of the PNC. They had or have (since I am not sure if Kadir has relinquished his membership to PNC) in their rank terrorists. However they still have in their ranks this terrorist group of which Kadir, Waddell and Benschop, and others is / were part of.

hay mikey, how is doing your rounds in this blizzard going? Get ready for some more snow tomorrow.

Think how better it would be with Jagdeo and his boys, hanging in the warm temp, sipping banks, eying them beenies, ( you would be an exception with this crew) and chowing down on some good Guyanese graft! Damn, Randy beat you to it!

ah wuk some double these few days so i am off Mon and Tue...Bhai naa taak bout banks and beenies...Lass time we had a blast with both...Ah goin dung soon for a few days...ah gun ketch up with the honorable Doctor fu sure.

Lets suppose Kadir was a PPP member of parliament what would the opposition media have to say about the whole issue?? Don't you think they would have spoken about it in the same way the did with the RK indictment for drug trafficking???

I would think that the US is more concerned with the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Jagdeo and the Iranian terrorist state, whereby Guyana will be supplying uranium to Iran. We live in dangerous times, ad Jagdeo is showing his true nature: a wannabe leader of a terrorist sponsored state.

Did he(Jagdeo)converted to a radical form of Islam that's in line with the Iranian Shiites???

We all better start writing letters to the State Dept. about this. It seems like the International Media is dead asleep about this breaking and disturbing news. Damn Brother!

The President carries the burden of Guyana's debt on his shoulders. he travels the world over seeking to pay off and write the debt left by the previous administration. All Guyanese who left Guyana drained the country of it's wealth. You all should be ashamed of yourselves, stealing from your country and criticize it for lack of finance to complete development projects.

Bai Rama, thanks for putting the record straight, but we already knew that every time BJ leaves the country, so does some of Guyana's wealth.

By whose standard is Iran a terrorist state? The US is the biggest threat to human existence today, yet i don't hear anyone saying that they're a terrorist state. Guyana has pursued its own foreign policy not one that is dictated to us by the US or anyone else for that matter.

Amar, the US keeps your sorry asses fed and clothed and a roof over your head. If you are so adamant about their supposed danger you should be on the front line asking not to receive their handouts. I hope the Embassy takes note and flag your behind when you try to get a visa to take a pilgrimage here.

Cubana airlines

Cubana Airlines does not fly to Haiti.

Perhaps you can ask Gerry Goveia for a special flight.
