Bush Pentagon Had Contact With African Coup Plotters
A senior member of George W. Bush's Pentagon policy team met with an associate of Simon Mann, a colorful British mercenary leader, not long before Mann led a team of soldiers of fortune in an unsuccessful 2004 attempt to oust the dictator of Equatorial Guinea. Last week, Mann—who had been sentenced to 34 years in a dismal prison in the oil-rich African state after his plot to depose the country's president, Teodoro Obiang, collapsed— was suddenly pardoned, released from prison, and allowed to return to the United Kingdom . Media reports before and after Mann's release quoted claims by Mann that the governments of Spain and South Africa had backed the attempted coup and that it had the tacit support of the Bush-era Pentagon and U.S. oil companies. Documents related to the alleged coup plot have been posted here by the BBC.
