Two European Nuclear Scientists Arrested as Al-Qaeda Suspects

Posted By Annie Jacobsen On October 13, 2009 @ 12:02 am In Crime, Europe, 
Media, Science, World News | 25 Comments

Last week I was in Las Vegas attending a banquet honoring retired 
intelligence officers, many of whom once worked for the CIA. Some of the 
guests were still active. Others currently work for the Department of 
Defense. There were four of us from the press.

I got to chatting in a three-way conversation with a former U-2 pilot and 
a current defense contractor who frequents the Pentagon (and therefore 
asked to remain anonymous).

Whats going to happen if al-Qaeda gets their hands on WMD? the pilot 
asked.

They already have, the defense contractor said. Then he told the story of 
how, just last January, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) had bungled 
a WMD experiment using bubonic plague.

None of you press wrote about that, the man said, eyeballing me.

I had to correct him because I did write about that story  for Pajamas 
Media [1]. My article cited two papers, the Sun and the Washington Times; 
I couldnt locate any firsthand sources with access to the information. How 
do you know that the information was correct? I asked my fellow banquet 
guest.

I was at the military briefing, he said. Then he added that the briefing 
was not classified and included several members of the press.

Why do you think that story wasnt more widely reported? I asked.

He said something to the effect of: there are some things the public finds 
easier to ignore.

I had the same reaction when I returned home from my trip on Friday night 
to read a single-line item on the Counterterrorism Blog [2]: Switzerland: 
Terror cops arrest Collider scientist linked with al-Qaeda, it said. The 
Collider is the largest nuclear research facility in the world. For at 
least the next forty-eight hours the story did not appear anywhere in the 
U.S. press, despite the fact that the arrested nuclear scientist, a 
32-year-old Algerian-born French man named Dr. Adlene Hicheur, was being 
described by Frances Central Directorate of Interior Intelligence as a 
very high-level operative with AQIM. Thats the same group whod been 
experimenting with bubonic plague earlier in the year. Adlene Hicheur had 
attended Stanford University [3], in California, in 1999 and 2002.

Looking into the story, I quickly learned that the charges against the 
mild-mannered, deeply religious French Algerian were stunning. Authorities 
say Dr. Adlene Hicheur and his 25-year-old brother Halim, also a nuclear 
scientist, had provided al-Qaeda with data on terrorism targets including 
the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. That facility, located underground on 
the Swiss-French border, is not your average nuclear facility. It is a 
17-mile underground tunnel track where scientists are trying to create 
anti-matter by smashing atoms together. The results, the scientists hope, 
will create mini black holes and allow scientists to further explore 
theories about what happened after the Big Bang created the universe 14 
billion years ago. Throw terrorists into that mix and a lot could go 
wrong.

It was at the Collider that Dr. Adlene Hicheur has spent the last six 
years working as an independent contractor for the European Organization 
for Nuclear Research (CERN). We can confirm that Adlene Hicheur was a 
member of the experimental collaboration at CERN, a spokesman for CERN 
told the press. Equally alarming and according to the Daily Mail [4], the 
younger Hicheur brother carries out research at similar high-security 
scientific institutions around Europe. This includes a top-secret nuclear 
research center in England called the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

French authorities [5] have been watching the brothers for the past 18 
months. According to Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux, the decision to 
arrest the Hicheurs came after email correspondences between at least one 
of the brothers and known AQIM operatives had been intercepted by French 
intelligence agents. According to European intelligence sources, MI5 had 
been warned that the suspects are outstanding scientists who had been 
honing their techniques in nuclear fusion across the world, says the Daily 
Mail [4].

Both brothers are internationally known and respected scientists [3] with 
access to top-secret nuclear facilities throughout Europe. To those who 
knew the brothers personally, the news came as a blow. They were held out 
to young people here as an example of what you could achieve, whatever 
your background, a local youth worker from the brothers French town of 
Vienne told an Indian newspaper, the Siasat Daily [3]. There is a state of 
shock at what has happened and some anger, the worker said.

Angry or not, this story is not something anyone should find easy to 
ignore.
