Interpol Secretary General persuades Belarusians to believe official story of terrorist attack

The attitude of Belarusians to the official story of the terrorist attack on April 11 has demonstrated that the level of mistrust to the authorities has now peaked.

Even pensioners, who are boundlessly loyal to Lukashenka, and who didn’t doubt any words of the zombifying state-run TV, do not believe the story about the unique chemist from Vitsebsk, AFN writes.

However, it’s impossible for them to believe, while A. Lukashenka is still convinced that the terrorist attack was the work of the “fifth column”, that is, of someone from the top echelons of power.

Amid numerous leaks to mass media, a press-conference of the deputy Prosecutor General Shved, the head of the Interior Affairs Ministry of Belarus Kulyashou, the Chairman of the KGB Zaitsau just increased doubts. Hoping to change the situation somehow, the Belarusian agitprop had no better idea than to persuade citizens and A. Lukashenka that the official story is truthful by substantiating it by the opinion of an influential expert, INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble, which had been made by him at the meeting with the Interior Affairs Minister of Belarus Kulyashou (Kulesgov).

“The UN Security Council has not confirmed that the blast in Belarusian metro on April 11 was a terrorist attack. However, INTERPOL on its part can that it was precisely a terrorist attack.”

“We… are ready to affirm that… the fingerprints of the suspect in committing the terrorist act on July 2008 are completely equal to the fingerprints of the suspect in the terrorist act-2011 case.”

“Despite of the fact that the charges of the explosives (in 2008 and 2011) were different, the point at issue is that these crimes had been committed by one person”...

It should be noted that INTERPOL Secretary General has made all his conclusions basing upon the information “offered to me in Belarus.”

If the law-enforcing agencies would offer Ronald K. Noble documents confirming that A. Lukashenka is a descendant of William Shakespeare, Mr Noble would eat it up, too.

Beside that, Ronald K. Noble has said many pleasant things about Belarusian special services, which invites the question: “What good will it be to the INTERPOL Secretary General?” It is quite possible that the chief of the INTERPOL agreed to such a move for the sake of corporate solidarity of special services.

However, any solidarity has its limits. If Noble would voice his opinion on the basis of his subordinates’ reports (INTERPOL representatives), who have been taking part in the investigating the terrorist attack since the first day, the population of Belarus would listen to the opinion of the INTERPOL Secretary General somehow.

As in the present situation it is worth to suppose that in the beginning of his police career the INTERPOL Secretary General specialized in the cases related to Article 171 of the Criminal Code of Belarus.
