The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.
Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:
the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?
The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.
Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:
Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.
There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.
But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.
The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?

Yahya Mirjan reported on the Genesis fact-finding trip with HRH Prince Michael of Kent to Kosovo. Following the visit, several applications were being made to the EU Commission to fund a number of projects.
Zaid is the business partner of Mirjam Yahya.
Prince Michael of Kent? Who the f $ck is that Buddy?
James, Mirjam seems to be the first name. YAHYA is the surname.
Blue on LinkedIn he has it Yahya and then Mirjan
http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/yahya-mirjan/19/144/25
His son is Razzak and then Mirjan
Razzak is a keen marathon runner. And on Just Giving his friends call his “Raz”, so I think it’s “first name” Yahya. Followed by “surname” Mirjan.
…and it’s not “is” a biz partner of Zaid. It’s “was”.
But they were the only two involved in this company. No info on it at all. It’s just initials.
…and Ziad was described as “PR agent” Odd for an accountant !
James
Mirjan could be the surname, too.
Yahya is also used as a first name. Could be both, though.
Does the Iraq king have relations to tge Romanian Royal family? Do the Romanian Royals have relations to the house of windsor? I mean blood relations.
Mirjan sounds like a romanian name.
The thing with the Genesis Project, it’s Kosovo.
I mean I guess there’s aid money following in for construction…but what links does he have with Kosovo ?
Granite ? I can think of other places.
Construction ? He is an “engineer”. I take it “Civil Engineer” due to his long links in the granite business.
So why set up a business with Zaid ?
AND why did it come up this time…and not before.
I’m sure he only had one directorship before and that was Shtech.
“Mr Yahya Mirjan is British and was born in 1960”
So where was he born ? Iraq or England ?
James
There you are. Prime minister Abdul Wahab Mirjan comes from al Hilla.
He studied law and he served in the government. Hence he is nearly the age of Hashim al Hilli who served in tge same government when Mirjan was prime minister.
Both families ended up in the UK.
Both families were Shia and in top government positions.
Yahya Mirjan is about the same age as Zaid and Saad. They probably went to school together both in Iraq and in the UK.
Today Yahya Mirjan travels with Prince Michael of Kent to Kosovo (Balkan!) for business to suggest projects to get supported by the EU funds. Btw, the Serbs hate the EU supporting THEIR Kosovo for independence.
Zaid and Mirjan are business partners. The two families must have been close.
Yahya Mirjan must have other qualities than trading granite. He must have Royal contacts.
Everything fits with what we have heard that Kadhim was a Royalist.
Keep digging. We are very close to the Romanian and Balkan connections, perhaps with Royalties being involved?
Forgot adding the link in my post above
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul-Wahab_Mirjan
Abdul-Wahab, son of Abdul-Razzaq, son of Jawad, son of Mahmood AL Mirjan, came from a renowned family in Al-Hilla, where he was born in 1909. He graduated from the College of Law in Baghdad in 1932 and was appointed Justice of the Peace in Suweira (January 1938). However, he resigned after a short period, devoting himself to his law practice and the management of his estates. In September 1942 he was elected President of Al-Hilla Chamber of Agriculture.
Prince Michael of Kent, buddy of Iraqi Yahya Mirjan, business partner of zaid al hilli, with close connections to late Boris Berezovsky. There we are again.
Prince Michael has been under close scrutiny by the media for financial assistance given to him by Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky.[15] In May 2012,The Sunday Times reported how the Prince had received £320,000 ($514,000) during a six-year period from 2002 to 2008 into a family business owned by the prince’s secretary, from a fund controlled by Berezovsky in which 56 payments of between £5,000 and £15,000 were sent through offshore companies.[16] In an interview with The Sunday Times Berezovsky stated, “There is nothing underhand or improper about the financial assistance I have given Prince Michael. It is a matter between friends.”[17]
There are deep Romanian blood connections with the house of Windsor.

A possible return to monarchy in the two countries is considered to be a future alternative.The prince heir of the United Kingdom, who is preparing to renounce the throne to his son William, could become the future king Charles III of Romania. The Romanian Intelligence Service and Foreign Intelligence Service are in full alert.
Blue….
The thing is…and it relies on the 44th President connection….both of there families are/were “high up” pre the “revolution”.
That ended !
This looks like “one generation” behind.
If you could reclaim the things you knew you once had….well then that would make the Swiss Account pretty well “insignificant” wouldn’t it ?
IF this relates back to “rights” in “Babylon” then of course you’d want your “cut”.
Lets roll the dice and play “guess if”.
Lets say there isn’t a dispute between Sa’ad and Zaid.
Or with Yahya.
Lets say they wanted “their things” back ..or at least profit from them “again”. There is no big issue with that. Why shouldn’t they.
Of course this is all speculation.
But there are “people” that wouldn’t want them to make some cash ?
I made some family research regarding the Mirjan family.
Yahya Mirjan is the son of Ali J Mirjan. Yahya Mirjan is also called Yahya Ali J Mirjan.
Ali J Mirjan arrived to the UK in 1964. There he lived in Surrey, Southwark at an address that does not exist today: Ladysmith Dwellings, 88 Lion Street.
For his son Yahya Mirjan there are later events on file:
NAME: Y Mirjan RESIDENCE: 1984 – Leicester
NAME: Y A J Mirjan RESIDENCE: 1981 – Leeds, York
Wedding:
NAME: Yahya A J Mirjan SPOUSE: Wendy J Barnett
MARRIAGE: Aug 1987 – Windsor and Maidenhead, Berkshire
Child NAME: Abdul Razzak Mirjan BIRTH: Jan 1990 – Slough, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire
Child NAME: Beder Yahya A J Mirjan MOTHER: Mirjan BIRTH: Jul 1998 – Westminster
I strongly believe that Prime Minister if Iraq Abdulwahab Mirjan was the father or the much elder brother of Ali Mirjan like Kadhim al Hilli was the brother of UNO ambassador Hashim al Hilli.
Why do I believe that?
Because today there lives a guy called Abdulwahab Mirjan in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada who could be the grandson of the prime minister AND there lives an Ali Mirjan in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada who could be the son of Ali J Mirjan. This Ali Mirjan in Ontario is …. a dentist! I dont know what the younger Abdulwahab Mirjan in Canada is doing, but he owns two domains, one is mirjan.com and the other one is timento.com
Both domains deliver nothing useful.
So then, i take it for granted that Yahya Mirjan is the cousin or the grandson of PM Abdulwahab Mirjan.
I also take it for granted that the Mirjan family and the al Hilli family were closely related or even befriended.
Keep digging.
Blue…
The son “Abdul Razzak Mirjan”
Change the “K” to a “Q” and we have the 44th presidents father !
Also….1964 they arrived ?
Abdul-Wahab Mirjan died in 1964 (March 15th).
Thy are…that family.
So…we have The President and Sa’ad’s/Ziad’s uncle !
Do you find that a “connection” ! I do. A big one.
We can establish that they must have known each others families.
Highly rated families back in Iraq. Wealthy ones at that.
Ali J Mirjan ?
Brother of Abdul-Wahab Mirjan ?
We need that link.
James
Ali J Mirjan is either his brother or his son. I would guess – due to the age of Abdulwahab, that Ali is his son. Unfortunately there are no UK records regarding immigration. We had those for the al hillis fortunately.
I keep searching.
Like you Mochyn69
26 Jun, 2013 – 9:41 am I searched high and low for BB’s valuable research on where the Al Hillis lived but couldn’t locate it. If I remember rightly Plimlico was only a temporary location and they actually lived in West London somewhere with Arab/Kurdish connections? Refresher please BB.
and whilst on the subject of addresses this latest one for ZAH at Chessington seems to have started about 9 months prior to Chevaline. If I am right its the third mentioned by the press for him? Nine months before …. ?
Bluebird 19.42 “Princess Michael of Kent was born on 15 January 1945, in Karlsbad, in the then-German-populated Sudetenland, now known as Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, near the family estates of her Austrian maternal grandmother, Princess Hedwig von Windisch-Graetz, just prior to the defeat and the end of Nazi Germany and of World War II in Europe, and the following expulsion of the German population later that year. Princess Michael is the only daughter of Baron Günther Hubertus von Reibnitz (of German descent) and his Hungarian wife, Countess Maria Anna Carolina Franziska Walpurga Bernadette Szapáry von Muraszombath, Széchysziget und Szapár, a daughter of Count Friedrich Szapáry von Muraszombath, Széchysziget und Szapár, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, who served as an ambassador in Saint Petersburg at the outbreak of World War I. The Princess’s father also had a daughter named Margarita, born on 18 January 1924, from his first marriage to Margherita, Countess von Seherr-Thoß. She dated Anthony Dalzell in her earlier years.
Through her mother, the Princess is a descendant of Diane de Poitiers,[2] mistress of Henry II of France,[3] and Catherine de’ Medici,[4] Queen of France (his wife),[5] and also of painter Peter Paul Rubens.[6] Her father was a Nazi party member who had held the rank of Sturmbannführer or Major in the SS during the Second World War.[7] He moved to Maforga, Mozambique after divorcing.” WIkiPEDIA

This is the confirmation link of what james started today.
It’s the pretty close relation between the al Hilli and the Mirjan family.
Unfortunately we do not know about what this company had done. Was this Zaid’s first business? Was this an intelligence cover up? That company looks as having been dissolved in 1993. Is that correct?
Tim, mochyn
Have you tried searching the older al hilli blog, too?
I think that the information you search for must be there.
Was that blog called the “al hilli conundrum” ?
Search for ‘pimlico’ in that other/older blog!
I still think this ties back into the Kurds: Turkish Kurds, Kurds in Iraq, al-Hilli family businesses and property in Kurd territory, minerals and oil and gas.

Or, more likely, Iraqi Jews?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Iraq
Yousif Mirjan, managing director of Dubai-based marble contractor, Dar Al Rokham.
Is he linked to the Mirjan family in London ?
Same type of business, same family name.
Just a strange coincidence ?
“We’ve carried out work in London, Morocco, Barbados, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, and Qatar, and at the present we are tendering for many jobs in Iraq as well,” explains managing director Yousif Mirjan”.
http://www.bus-ex.com/article/dar-al-rokham
A “Yousif Mirjan” is a director at “Granite and Marble International Limited”.
Yahya Mirjan is also a director there.
So is that Yousif the same as the one at Dar Al Rokham ?
It’s too coincidental now not for it to be.
Question now is how did Zaid know them ?
And what were they doing opening up a company that didn’t do anything ?
Beder Mirjan
The teenage son of Yahya Mirjan is a member of the games workshop Putney (due to their fb site).
That alone is not surprising because teenage boys like gaming. However, the address of that gaming club is 195 upper richmond road and THAT is interesting enough because this is just about 200 yards from the places in Putney where both al Hilli families lived when they first came to london. Coincidence that his son is geographically connected with Putney?
http://www.games-workshop.com
James, quick search
Yousif Mirjan
He is british and born 1965 (fits) and he is also director of Granite and Marble ltd.
So yes, he must be connected. Brother of Yahya?
https://www.duedil.com/director/909462108/yousif-mirjan
Looks as if he is very active in a lot of companies.
Going back to “Q’s” points on mineral rights and mining.
What did the Al Hilli family own in Iraq ?
“But now a new resource is attracting global investors: the glittering mineral wealth beneath Iraq’s deserts and mountainous regions”
“Referring to The Klondike gold-rush bonanza 200 years ago, one key-note speaker at Iraq Mining 2011 said: “I call this Iraq’s Minerals Rush!”

Look at the replies. The family! Yousif, Beder (younger brother) and Maryam (younger sister).
Here we have a “Queens Gate” company with Yousif Mirjan as the director.

Keep digging.
Hashim Mirjan and Aya Mirjan seem to be Razzak’s cousins due to the fundraising page. (See above).
Research on the Mirjan family, surprising: Al Saffar!
I did a fb research on the Mirjan family. There are several brothers and sisters, but the center is still al Hilla in Iraq. Most of them have a facebook account, therefore building a family tree is rather easy.
I started with the fb friends of Yahya Mirjan on his fb account yahya.mirjan.9
There are branches in al Hilla (Safaa Mirjan married to Kefah al Saffar/Safaar).
There are branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (Yusif Mirjan. Yahya Mirjan and wives and children Rihab, Aya, Hashim, Rafif.
Rafif (female) has a sister Zena and a sister Hiam, one of them who is married to Ahmad Khalil in Beirut, Lebanon. Hiam visits the Lebanese American University in Beirut. That is the Lebanese branch.
Then we have Ali and Abdulwahab and Munir Mirjan in Ontario, Canada.
Then we have a Jordan branch in Amman with Hassan and Zarah Mirjan.
Finally we have the London branch with Yousif and Yahya (who also live in the UAE) and children Razzak, Beder and Maryam Mirjan.
They are all from the same blood line.
Then there is a blood relation to the al Ghossein family in France. One of them, Jad Gaussin (he changed his name for sounding more french) goes to Lycee Blaise Pascal and he is blood related to Rafif Mirjan in Abu Dhabi.
The center of the family (family head) seems to be Safaa Mirjan in al Hilla. He must be in his 60tees or 70tees. He married Kefah al Saffar (obviously due to the fb messages) only a few years ago. Not sure on that. However, he is now married into the Iraqi branch of the al Saffar family as the fb page of Kefah al Saffar confirms.
Hopefully this research is helpful.
However, it is now confirmed that Yahya and Yousif Mirjan are blood related to Iraqi ex prime minister Abdulwahab Mirjan.

The answer to where SAH and his brother lived in west London is March Court, Putney according to previous research by BB I think.
Jennywren
March Court is correct. However, that was their second flat where they had moved a little bit later after they came to london.
At first they lived a few hundred yards from the house of his brother Hashim al Hilli. This was close to Upper Richmond Road next to the railway, of course in Putney, too.
You should find the details of their first home address in that other al Hilli blog (sept 2012) here in craig murray.
