August 6 2009–Turks & Caicos Islands

A bitter fight to redact portions of the explosive final report of an official  British Inquiry into systemic corruption in the Turks and Caicos Islands backfired last week when news of the redactions caused a firestorm of protest and the full report was leaked to freedom of information website WikiLeaks.

Some of the most sensitive redactions in the British Commission of Inquiry’s Final Report concern much-traveled pilot Michael Francis Brassington, who first rose to the level of public scrutiny as co-pilot on a Lear jet (N351WB) belonging to the owner of a flight school that at the time had been teaching Mohamed Atta to fly was seized by DEA Agents who found 43 lbs. of heroin onboard.

The controversy over the redacted report  has ironically shed light on a previously-unknown connection between Brassington and a second pilot, Wolfgang Bohringer,  whose name also surfaces regularly in the background to the intrigue in Florida swirling around Mohamed Atta during the run-up to the 9/11 attack.

Brassington and Bohringer were not previously known to have been connected.

The controversy over the unredacted report changed that, when the resulting publicity illuminated dark corners in the background of the man whose deep pockets were keeping secret the full extent of Michael Misick and Michael Francis Brassington’s crimes.

Michael Brassington-still a close associate of Wally Hilliard’s, according to a former U.S. Customs Agent who has seen his file-and Wolfgang Bohringer,  an “associate” of Mohamed Atta’s  close enough for Atta to have frequently referred to him as “my brother,” have both been pilots for the Russian Mob.
