A U.K. Member of Parliament is investigating allegations that a Danish national supplied chemical and biological weapons to Uganda, The Black Star News has learned.
The Danish national also appeared in a U.K. court charged with conspiring to launder money with top Uganda officials; it is believed that the proceeds may be tied to procurement of chemical and biological weapons by Uganda.
The Danish national, Niels Jorgen Tobiasen, appeared Monday in a Southwark, U.K., court in a preliminary hearing.
"I am informed that he has been arrested along with two Ugandan officials for supplying chemical and biological weapons to Uganda," an aide to a U.K. member of parliament informed The Black Star News, referring to Tobiasen. "I am also making urgent inquiries," added the aide to MP Mike Hancock (Lib Dem – Portsmouth South).
Tobias was charged with "conspiracy to money launder," between April 2007 and April 2008 "together with Ananias Tumukunde and Rusoke Tagaswire," according to the indictment sheet obtained by The Black Star News. Additionally, Tobiasen "entered into an agreement knowing or suspecting that the arrangement would facilitate the acquisition, retention use or control of criminal property by or on behalf of another person," according to the indictment sheet.
Tumukunde is a top advisor to Uganda president Yoweri K. Museveni on science and technology; Tagaswire is a Uganda military official.
There have been widespread allegations that chemical or biological weapons have been used to kill prominent Ugandans. Last year, when a top Uganda military official, Brigadier Noble Mayombo, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Defense died suddenly, there was much speculation as to what caused his demise.
At his funeral, President Yoweri Museveni announced that he had appointed a three-man team to "probe into the death of Brigadier Mayombo. The team that includes Col. James Mugira, Lt. Tagaswire Rusoke and a senior medical doctor…" according to the official Uganda State House government website. Please see http://www.statehouse.go.ug/
Ironically, Tagaswire Rusoke, whose whereabouts are unknown, is now mentioned in the official U.K. indictment sheet. According to a media report, he is a bio-chemist with Masters degree in toxicology.
"It looks like the trial will be on September 22," Russell Hayes, of the U.K. Crown Prosecution Services informed The Black Star News.
Tumukunde has been in custody since earlier this year. As previously reported by The Black Star News, U.K. prosecutors contend Uganda officials are not cooperating on the case; Uganda's High Commissioner to the U.K. Joan Rwabyomere denies the charges.
Despite widespread reports of gross human rights abuse by Amnesty International and Human Rights watch, Uganda's Museveni remains a Washington and London favorite. Critics also accuse his government of a genocidal policy that has confined nearly two million people in Acholi in wretched camps where a reported 1,000 people were dying per week.

Lethal chemicals and radiation may be linked to political deaths in Uganda
Please refer to The Black Star News July 29th, 2008 and Daily Monitor Uganda Museveni aide "bought chemical, bio weapons" Wednesday, July 30, 2008.
There are a number of unsolved cases which may be linked to Doctor Death Danish national, Niels Jorgen Tobiasen and Tumukunde group (Rusoke Tagaswire, Col. James Mugira, CMI, etc).That doctor is expert in chemical and radioactive agents. He is expert of small quantity that can be carried in penicillin injection bottle. Now that he is in custody in U.K it is very important for each of you to help the police investigation in U.K. Any information may be useful in cracking the complex puzzle.
I think it is high time whoever has any little information to bring it and share it with us so that we can begin to build a case against those people who have killed our people.
People who have died mysteriously are Basonga Nsadhu, Paul Muwanga, Abu Mayanja, Sulaiman Kigundu, Noble Mayombo, James Wapakhabulo, Kafumbe Mukasa and many others. The cause of their death cannot be solved in African medical laboratory because the material which they ingested or injected are radioactive, or lethal chemicals masked by other chemicals. In my opinion tests can still be carried out on the bodies of these fallen heroes. To carry out those tests the bereaved families should co-operate fully. The bodies may/must be exhumed and tests done in laboratories in the U.K. These laboratorie handled the recent case of Litvenko, who was poisoned by Russian gorvenment. He was given high dose of radiation (Pulonium) which was not easy at all for the unsophiscated laboratory to detect.
For Ugandans it is possible that the amount of radiation given to them has been low but very effective in the course of time. No wonder that they have died in a period of 1-7 years.
Now that a deal of paying Dr Death by representative of Uganda Govt have been unearthed it is now time to investigate Dr death and his associates in Uganda, what services was he being paid for, how long has he had the connection with Uganda machinery of death, how many times has he traveled to Uganda, and for what purpose, whom has he met in Uganda and where. How many times has he been paid by the govt officials. Time has come for all Ugandans regardless of your political affiliation to take a serious look at those mysterious death after all most of those killed were staunch supporters of Movement. When there use was over they were eliminated.
