In 'A World Without Islam,' Not Much Would Change

Graham Fuller

1991年，在苏联解体的动荡中，车臣-印古什自治共和国的一个团体宣布独立，联合国批准的无代表人民组织派出一个小组监督选举。其报告全文刊登在本尼格森的女儿玛丽-布罗克苏普编辑的《英国中亚报》上。车臣分离主义也得到了英国前首相的鼓励和支持，该委员会由英国前驻印度和联合国大使约翰-汤姆森爵士担任主席。1994年底，莫斯科在第一次车臣战争（1994-96）中采取了武力镇压分离主义叛乱的行动。

部长玛格丽特-撒切尔，她的盟友美国中央情报局高级官员格雷厄姆-E-富勒（左）在2003年写了这本《麦卡尔平勋爵》，他构思了一本小册子，讨论了高加索共同马尔加什丁的阿夫项目的老兵有可能引发维吾尔酮的激进化，以及中国新疆的少数民族权利小组分离主义分子。

车臣分离主义分子有一个极端激进的派别，其领导人中有一个来自沙特阿拉伯的外国战士，名叫哈塔卜，他曾在阿富汗与圣战者组织一起与苏联作战。另一位领导人沙米尔-巴萨耶夫（Shamil Basayev）吹嘘自己曾在阿富汗营地受训。巴萨耶夫在1995年7月说："我为与俄罗斯的战争准备了很长时间....。我和阿布哈兹（格鲁吉亚境内的分离主义者）营的战士们一起，三次前往阿富汗圣战者营地，在那里学习了游击战的战术。"

巴萨耶夫和哈塔卜在俄罗斯策划了大规模的绑架和爆炸事件，并于1999年发动了第二次车臣战争，从车臣入侵达格斯坦共和国（俄罗斯北高加索地区）。他们分别于2006年和2002年在俄罗斯反叛乱行动中被杀。

中情局的 "奇妙 "做法转而针对中国

到90年代中期，从 "一个超级大国 "沃尔福威茨理论的角度来看，有理由将危机之弧瞄准中国。1994-96年，北京开始了建设新欧亚大陆桥的宣传和实地工作。1996年5月，中国举办了历史性的 "陆桥 "会议（见第一部分）。同月，一条铁路富勒指出，北京官员认为伊朗马什哈德和土耳其特金之间的铁路已经开通，土耳其和伊斯兰教团体正在煽动分裂的维吾尔人（以前在苏联中亚），为当时的新疆提供了一个im-派别。富裕的沙特港资助了瓦哈比派（伊斯兰教徒进入中国，或从中国通过沙特阿拉伯的主导趋势向西回流）在地中海和欧洲的关键传播路线。

新疆的文学和可能的武器走私也是如此。

Central Asta-Caucasus

When, in 1991 amid the turmoil of Soviet disintegration, a group in the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Republic proclaimed independence, the UN-approved Unrepresented People's Organisation sent a team to monitor elections. Its report appeared in full in the British Central Asian Sur vey, edited by Bennigsen's daughter Marie Broxup. The Chechen separat ists also received encouragement and patronage from former British Prime of Britain, chaired by Sir John Thomson, former British am- bassador to India and to the United Nations. In late 1994, Moscow moved to put down the separatist insurgency by force in the First Chechen War (1994-96).

Minister Margaret Thatcher, her ally Senior CIA officer Graham E. Fuller (left) wrote this 2003 Lord McAlpine, who conceived a pamphlet, discussing the potential for veterans of the Af project for a Caucasus Common Mar- ghanistan mujaheddin to spark the radicalisation of Uyghur ket, and the Minority Rights Group separatists in Xinjiang, China.

The Chechen separatists had an extreme militant wing, among whose leaders was a foreign fighter from Saudi Ara- bia by the name of Khattab, who had fought against the So- viets in Afghanistan with the mujaheddin. Another leader, Shamil Basayev, boasted of having trained in Afghan camps. Basayev said in July 1995: "I was preparing for war with Russia a long time.... Together with fighters from my Abkha- zian [separatists within Georgia) battalion, I paid three vis- its to Afghan mujaheddin camps, where learned the tac- tics of guerrilla warfare."

Basayev and Khattab orchestrated mass kidnappings and bombings in Russia, and in 1999 launched the Second Chechen War with an invasion of the Republic of Dage- stan (Russian North Caucasus) from Chechnya. They were killed in 2006 and 2002, respectively, in Russian counter- insurgency operations.

CIA's 'marvellous' practices turned vs China

By the mid-1990s, there was reason from the standpoint of the "one superpower" Wolfowitz Doctrine, to aim the Arc of Crisis at China. In 1994-96 Beijing had begun publici- ty and on-the-ground work for building the New Euro-Asia Continental Bridge. China hosted its historic Land-Bridge for their benefit." conference in May 1996 (see Part 1). The same month, a rail Fuller noted that Beijing officials believed foreign Pan link was opened between Mashhad, Iran and Tejen, Turk- Turkist and Islamist groups were agitating separatist Uyghur menistan (formerly in Soviet Central Asia), providing an im- factions in Xinjiang already at that time, with wealthy Saudi portant transcontinental route from the Persian Gulf east- benefactors funding the dissemination of Wahhabite (Islamic ward into China, or from China back westward through Tur fundamentalist, from the dominant tendency in Saudi Arabia) key to the Mediterranean Sea and Europe.

literature in Xinjiang and possibly arms-smuggling as well.

helping them against our adversaries worked marvellous- ly well in Afghanistan against the Russians. The same doc- trines can still be used to destabilise what remains of Rus- sian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia" (Emphasis added.)

Arguing along similar lines was Graham Fuller, a twen ty-year career CIA officer, who had been its Kabul (Af ghanistan) station chief from 1975 until 1978, the eve of sified 2013, www.cia.gov.

Declassified CIA memos authored by Fuller reveal that his "suggestions" were to prove highly influential, foreshad owing US military aggression against Syria' and the illegal arms deals of the 1980s Iran-Contra affair-the scandal ous arrangement for the USA to sell arms to the Islamic Re public of Iran and fund anti-communist guerrillas in Cen tral America with the proceeds. After Iran-Contra was ex posed, Fuller left the CIA in 1988 to work at the American "party of war's" premiere thinktank of the post-World War II era, the RAND Corporation," for twelve years as Middle East specialist. He then moved on to teach history at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Starting in 1998, Fuller led a study titled "The Xin jiang Project", which appeared in 2003 as a pamphlet, The Xinjiang Problem. Here he assessed the potential of Uyghur ethnic separatist movements, concluding: "It would be unrealistic to rule out categorically American willing ness to play the 'Uyghur card' as a means of exerting pres sure on China in the event of some future crisis or confron tation....
