Complicii incep sa vorbeasca
Mohammad Munaf si-a mintit complicii ca rapirea celor trei jurnalisti urmareste ameliorarea
relatiei dintre romni si musulmani.
Mohammad Munaf, personaj care a indus in eroare oficialii Ambasadei Irakului din Romnia atunci cind a
cerut vize pentru cei trei jurnalisti romni sub pretextul ca respectivii fac parte dintr-o delegatie oficiala, se
pare ca i-a indus in eroare si pe indivizii care l-au sustinut in planul de rapire a celor trei romni !onform
unor surse judiciare, in urma audierii, la "agdad, in perioada #-$% aprilie, a noua irakieni &Abdel 'abbar
Abbas, (akim )hiab, *alam (ikmat, +usef Munaf, Mahmed ,haled, -mar ,hdeir, Musab ,haled, .ais Abdul
(afez si Ahmad Abdel *alam/ arestati in dosarul privind rapirea celor trei jurnalisti romni si a altor martori,
a reiesit ca Munaf ar fi invocat initial, in fata 0aghiotantilor1 sai, drept motiv al rapirii faptul ca in Romnia
relatia dintre romni si musulmani are nevoie de o ameliorare In acest sens, Munaf le-ar fi declarat ca
simularea rapirii ar fi pretextul ideal pentru a aparea in fata autoritatilor romne drept salvatorul
jurnalistilor 2umai ca, asa cum reiese din declaratiile unora dintre irakienii arestati, multi dintre ei extrem
de religiosi, rezulta ca acestia au realizat ca Munaf i-ar fi tras pe sfoara dupa momentul in care s-au cerut
cele patru milioane de dolari drept recompensa
Declaratie-cheie
*urse judiciare mai sustin ca un element-cheie in dosar care releva implicarea lui Munaf in organizarea
rapirii l-ar constitui o declaratie extrem de complexa a unuia dintre martori, irakianul Al-.asir *alam &nascut
in $% mai $345/, data la "agdad in fata procurorului !iprian 2astasiu, in care sint redate toate persoanele
contactate de 0locotenentul1 lui -mar (a6ssam si apropiatii acestuia pentru a planifica rapirea jurnalistilor
romni In plus, la dosar mai exista si declaratiile celor noua irakieni arestati date in fata unor anchetatori
romni, in care sint redate clar legaturile pe care Munaf le-ar fi realizat la "agdad, impreuna cu fratele si
cumnatul sau, pentru a pune la punct o presupusa rapire a jurnalistilor
7iaristii sint 0curati1
)aca, pina mai ieri, de la "agdad se lasa sa se inteleaga ca unii dintre cei arestati, inculsiv Munaf, ar fi
declarat ca cel putin unul dintre cei trei jurnalisti ar fi fost pus in tema dinaintea plecarii cu privire la rapire,
acum, surse judiciare spun ca din nici una din declaratii nu reiese ca ziaristii ar fi avut habar despre planul
rapirii lor *ingurul lucru pe care cei arestati l-ar fi sugerat in declaratiile lor ar fi acela ca jurnalistii ar fi
cunoscut riscurile la care se expun In acest context, unul din cei noua irakieni mentionati ar fi sustinut ca
le-ar fi propus jurnalistilor romni sa fie paziti, dar ca ei au refuzat, iar cind li s-a spus ca este periculos sa
circule fara protectie, ziaristii ar fi afirmat ca, in cazul in care li se intimpla ceva, au frati acasa care pot avea
grija de familiile lor
*urprinzator, intr-una dintre declaratii ar fi consemnata si cooptarea lui Abu *ahar - patron al firmei de
telefonie Al ,alm At 8ab, din !artierul 9niversitatii din "agdad &nr - zona in care jurnalistii romni au fost
rapiti/ - si unul din liderii gruparii 0"rigazile Mu:an ibn 'abal1 - care ar fi pus la dispozitie telefoane celor care
urmau sa-i rapeasca pe reporterii romni
Doar Hayssam e la racoare
Aceleasi surse sustin ca probele adunate de la cei noua irakieni si de la martorii audiati la "agdad au stat la
baza emiterii, de catre judecatorii romni, a mandatelor de arestare preventiva pe numele lui Mohammad
Munaf si al lui -mar (a6ssam in dosarul ;#<=>= %<<;, in care cei doi sint acuzati de savirsirea infractiunilor
de initiere, constituire si sprijinire a unei asocieri in scopul savirsirii de acte de terorism, prevazute de
articolul ?; din @egea ;?;=%<<# Reamintim ca in respectivul dosar urmarirea penala a fost declansata in $4
mai, in vreme ce mandatele de arestare pe numele lui (a6ssam si Munaf au fost emise de !urtea de Apel
"ucuresti in noaptea de %5 spre %4 mai )eocamdata, singurul arestat in respectivul dosar este -mar
(a6ssam, asta deoarece Munaf a fost arestat de politia militara americana stationata la "agdad In vederea
clarificarii dosarului, autoritatile romne le-au solicitat americanilor ca Munaf sa fie adus la "ucuresti pentru
un interogatoriu serios si pentru o confruntare cu (a6ssam, insa deocamdata autoritatile de la Aashington
nu au oferit un raspuns oficial la respectiva cerere
