Mexican authorities announced today they had thwarted a plan to smuggle Saadi Gaddafi, the son of the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, and his family into Mexico using false documents.
Canadian Cynthia Vanier is the accused ringleader of a plot that included opening fake bank accounts and acquiring various properties in Mexico that would act as safe houses for the Gaddafi kin, Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire told reporters at a morning news conference.
Two Mexicans and a Dane are also alleged to have taken part in the operation, which authorities first learned of in September.
Suspecting the group of organized crime, falsification of documents and human trafficking, authorities detained Ms. Vanier in Mexico City, on November 10 and rounded up her alleged accomplices the following day, said Mr. Poire.
Ms. Vanier, of Vanier Consulting in Mount Forest, is alleged to have been the direct point of contact with the Gaddafi family, and in charge of financing the operation. http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/12/07/saadi-gaddafi/
Gaddafi's a choir boy compared to the radicals in charge of Libya now...
What a great job by Obama. He helps Al Queda gain control of the region. I think it was on purpose.
Obama's useless, he's not calling the shots, he's a puppet. The last president that had a spine and worked for the people was Kennedy. And yes for those wondering, AlQaida is now in charge of Libya and NATO's pulling the same exact move on Syria...
Many are unaware of the danger we are now in.
