Unprecedented: President Obama is taking a personal interest in Mr Heywood's
death
US President Barack Obama was told of the alleged murder of British
businessman Neil Heywood before foreign secretary William Hague.
The president was briefed about the 41-year-old's suspected poisoning within
hours of Chinese police chief Wang Lijun walking into a US consulate to
tell officials he was murdered.
The decision to inform the President so soon after the killing of a British
citizen overseas so soon after it happened was described as 'almost
unprecedented'.
John Tkacik, who worked for the US state department in China for 20 years
told The Sunday Telegraph: 'This was a very high official with extraordinary
intelligence.
'In all of my experience I can't recall its equal.'
Mr Heywood's former business partner and powerful lawyer Gu Kailai - wife of
rising Communist leader Bo Xilai - is suspected of ordering his murder and
is under arrest.
Last night it was claimed that the couple ordered a plane to be blown out of
the sky in a bid to kill a rival politician's wife.
China Northern Airlines flight 6136 crashed into the sea by the port city of
Dalian, where Bo was mayor, in May 2002.
The disaster killed 112 - including Li Yanfeng, wife of Han Xiaoguang, a
wealthy hotelier and ally of Bo's political opponents.
Han was in jail at the time and Li was returning from Beijing with letters
pleading for his release which were written by the daughters of Communist
Party general secretary, Hu Jintao, and former president Li Xiannian.
Chinese journalist Jiang Weiping, who was being held with Han after accusing
the Communist Party of embezzlement, told the Sunday Express details of the
crash were covered up and the black box was never discovered.

Jiang said Han told him he believes Gu and Bo sabotaged the aircraft to
assassinate his wife.
He added: 'Han's wife worked as the special assistant of the human resource
chief.

Now Chinese censors try to silence U.S. website behind ex-pat murder
revelations with crippling cyber attack
'After the crash, the officials released a list of fatalities. Li Yanfeng's
profile was basically blank, listing only her name and deliberately left out
her occupation and other information.

'If Bo was involved in the plot it is likely that he wanted to eliminate the
threat posed by Li Yanfeng, as she knew too much about him.'
The official news agency Xinhua reported passenger Zhang Pilin - a former
member of the secret police - set fire to the plane in a suicide attack but
others have dismissed this, claiming he was a scapegoat.
It has also been claimed that Gu killed TV presenter Zhang Weijie who was
allegedly having an affair with Bo and vanished after moving to Bejing.
Chinese government hackers are believed to be behind a crippling cyber
attack on a US-based website that revealed how Mr Heywood was killed with
cyanide on the orders of Gu.
The Boxun website, run by Chinese dissidents, first reported that Mr Heywood
was killed in his hotel room after agreeing to syphon almost ￡1billion
out of the country for her.
The website said Old Harrovian Mr Heywood was killed after he asked for a
bigger cut and threatened to expose Mrs Gu if his demands were not met.
The cyber attack on Boxun paralysed the website for hours on Friday, forcing
it to find another internet hosting service to get back online.
The manager of the North Carolina-based site said Boxun had become a victim
of a ‘denial of service’ attack, with hackers bombarding it with millions
of requests per minute, causing it to crash.
Questions remain: It is thought that Mr Heywood was killed in one of the
mountain-top hotel's ￡600-a-night villas, but details of his demise are
sketchy +7

The attack came five days after The Mail on Sunday reported how sensational
details of the Heywood case had been revealed by Boxun and then circulated
on websites across China.
Many of the details of the murder first reported by Boxun have since been
confirmed by diplomats and officials close to the investigation.
Mr Heywood, was found dead in Chongqing in November. At the time, Chinese
authorities claimed he died of alcohol poisoning, while British officials
told his family that he had suffered a heart attack.
His body was cremated a day later without any post-mortem examination.
Friends said Mr Heywood was a moderate drinker.

Last month, Wang Lijun – the police chief of Chongqing – walked into a US
consulate and claimed Mr Heywood had been poisoned.
The scandal surrounding Mr Heywood’s death led to the purge of Mr Bo as the
Communist party leader of Chongqing.
Mr Bo, who was tipped to become a member of the nine-man Politburo that runs
China, now faces an uncertain future. His 54-year-old wife is under arrest
for ‘intentional homicide’ and faces the death penalty.

Last week, at least 11 people were arrested across Chongqing. Officials are
struggling to contain the political fallout from the scandal as China
prepares for a once-in-a-decade leadership change in the autumn.
Last week, The Mail on Sunday reported that Mr Heywood was murdered after
allegedly helping Mrs Gu syphon nearly ￡800 million of assets
overseas.
He is believed to have been poisoned with potassium cyanide by a henchman of
Mr Bo.
Boxun, which promotes human rights and democracy in China, has been targeted
by Chinese government hackers in the past.
News of Mr Heywood’s murder has been heavily censored in China.

英媒：薄熙来策划空难杀政敌 112乘客惨死
【看中国记者杨天姿综合报道】重庆前市委书记薄熙来倒台后，更多的惊人内幕被揭露
！据英国《每日邮报》引述消息指，薄熙来与妻子谷开来为铲除政敌，于2002年策划制
造了112人死亡的大连空难！
2002年5月7日，北方航空公司一架北京飞往大连的6136航班在大连海域坠毁，机上103
名乘客和9名机组成员全部遇难。据官方当年的通报，这宗惨剧为机上乘客张丕林纵火
所致。
空难的遇难者中有名叫李岩峰的乘客，据知情人所称，实际上李岩峰是国家安全部人事
司司长特别助理，其丈夫韩晓光是大连嘉信国际酒店的老板，且韩与大连市委书记于学
祥，宣传部长董长海关系密切。他们都是薄熙来当年强劲的政敌。
据前香港《文汇报》驻大连记者姜维平透露，韩晓光于2001年被薄熙来从北京抓回拘押
在大连开发区看守所，曾有大约半年时间与姜关在一起，故对姜透露过不少内幕。据说
2002年5月7日，李岩峰带着胡锦涛女儿和前国家副主席李先念女儿为韩晓光写的求情信
乘机从北京飞回大连，便在此次飞机失事中遇难。
事后韩晓光对姜维平说他认为薄熙来为了谋杀韩的妻子对飞机进行了破坏。据说李岩峰
当时在北京能量很大，导致薄熙来下了杀心。
官方当时对大连空难的说辞是，张丕林为了骗保而杀死了机上乘客。但据大连消息人士
透露：张丕林曾是大连的秘密警察，在大连和北京曾以商人的身份活动。出事前，张与
薄熙来的马仔及谷开来联系密切。同一新闻来源说，张丕林极可能是一个替死鬼，被人
利用做人肉炸弹而不自知。
薄夫妇：“幕后老板”是周永康
自薄熙来被当局“双规”、其妻谷开来涉嫌谋杀被拘捕，海外多家媒体报道指出，消息
人士称薄熙来与谷开来在调查期间，一口咬定周永康是“幕后老板”。
据报道，被认为与薄一同谋反的中共政法委书记周永康有传在压力下向当局提交书面检
讨，并已下达至省部级官员。周永康向高层提供的书面检讨中指出，他在薄案中有“不
可推卸”的责任，但同时强调对薄夫妇所作所为不知情。
中共合法性遭西方质疑
据悉，前重庆副市长王立军向美国提供的材料中有，薄熙来与周永康密谋“政变”，要
整垮接班人习近平的重要证据。薄熙来被当局免职调查后，周永康的名字就经常出现在
境外的各大媒体上。
外交关系协会亚洲研究部主任易明指出，案件显示中国政治体系严重腐败，中共高官们
自认能游走法律之外，令中共统治合法性受到质疑。
薄熙来夫妇海外转移60亿美元 另涉两宗命案
据日本传媒中国官方消息称，薄家海外资产远不止外传的80亿元人民币（约39亿令吉）
，指中央对薄案调查结果已确认薄熙来夫妇至少向海外转移60亿美元（约184亿令吉）
资金；而薄熙来夫妇还涉及两宗命案。
日本《朝日新闻》报道，经多名中国官方消息人士证实，中共中央办公厅曾在上月和本
月，分别两次向各地党政高层发出关于薄案调查的内部通报文件。通报指，自上 世纪
九十年代，薄熙来担任大连市长起，薄熙来夫妇就以亲戚和朋友名义，向美国和英国至
少转移60亿美元资金，数额之大超乎想像。
报道指出，通报还指薄熙来夫妇涉嫌另两宗命案，其中一名为大连市男子，曾为薄氏夫
妇管理海外资金；而另一名死者为重庆公安局男性刑警，该警员曾参与调查海伍德死亡
案，今年1月突堕楼死亡。 |
