WEINRICH’S DIARY. |
— Numerous technical instructions on how to trigger an explosive charge. — Numerous conversations with other members of the group – notably conversations with Vergès, operating under the alias Herzog. “Our members are doing well.”, “I told him I would see Herzog tomorrow”, “Tell Herzog Amin says hello”. — Herzog goes to Char with the Libyan Faraj Milad. — Vergès operating under the pseudonym of Gabriel : “Gabriel will contact the Italian government (or maybe he has already done so, but according to what Sonja knows, he’s going on Thursday”. — He’s coming to meet me on the 10th.” — “Right now, Gabriel will come once a month (his proposition) and we’ll meet here(ie. East Berlin). There will be cover for his visits. Barbie’s case is very interesting. Thankfully Gabriel came home alive from Bolivia.” “I’ll send you the article from the “Canard” that Gabriel brought me […]” — “Gabriel had the intention of coming the 29-8 but since I returned on the 27th, he received confirmation too late. As a result he will come on the 10th.” — “Gabriel and the Syrian ambassador”. Resumes of telephonic conversations with Carlos : — August 31st 1983 : “He knows that Gabriel (Vergès) pushed back the meeting to the 10th… He wanted to know if there was any news from Herzog (Vergès). He asked me who was visiting me on the following days. I responded that it was Herzog (Vergès). Up until now, still no news from Herzog (Vergès)” Sparse Notes concerning Vergès: Telephonic communication between Weinrich and Neda. She told me that Arafat is there. — Arrangements made for Herzog (Vergès) : She knows that someone has to pick him up at the airport. — Telephonic communication between Weinrich and Neda: She gave me indications regarding the country where Herzog (Vergès) was living ( ie.when he “disapeared”): — Difficult conditions where one had to ration water. — He lived in a cabin, and had to walk far on foot to take care of things. — There was no milk and he loves milk. When he got back he ate only milk and potatoes. - Communication with Neda: “Meanwhile, we spoke about Herzog: She admitted that she left him at a time when she loved him the most… her decision. Herzong’s nine year disappearance: she wanted to know if I knew where he was. Herzog’s (Vergès’s); answer: he said that almost everyday he pushed Mustafa but he never succeeded. Even if he has promised the time of the code for tomorrow, he’s accomplished nothing.” |
