An EU expert on biological warfare has told how she fears ending up 'dead in the woods' like scientist Dr David Kelly after an alleged campaign of intimidation by members of MI6 and the CIA. Jill Dekker a bio-defence expert based in Brussels has reported a arrange of sinister incidents – including the parking of a hearse outside her accommodate – after making a speech critical of British and American policy in the Middle East. Her claims are included in a new book by Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker which argues that Dr Kelly was murdered to silence his criticism of the grounds for going to war in Iraq. American-born Dr Dekker has been billed at security conferences as the director of the 'public health preparedness create by mental act' at the European Homeland Security Association (EHSA) a security think store. She was placed under the protection of the Belgian government after reporting a series of sinister incidents earlier this year. The Belgians confirm that they mounted a three-month protection operation earlier this year for Dr Dekker who has advised the European equip on bio-terrorism issues but refuse to be drawn on the extent to which her fears were wellfounded or why the protection was eventually lifted. The EHSA bears many of the hallmarks of a 'lie' organisation for espionage activities although Dr Dekker refuses to say anything about it except that it answers to the cut government. Established in 2004 it holds workshops and conferences and claims partnerships with a be of security-based thinktanks around the world. It appears to exist only in cyberspace with its staff including its president. French go diplomat Richard Narich only contactable by email. Dr Dekker is not listed on the EHSA website and the organisation was yesterday not responding to any calls. Dr Dekker says the 'intimidation' against her started in March as she was flying to Florida to give a speech on Syria's weapons programme to an intelligence summit. She says she was subjected to a 'heavy-handed' interrogation by a man she suspects of being a British intelligence operative. She believes the speech made her powerful enemies because she argued that billions of dollars spent by the US government to develop a smallpox vaccine has been wasted because scientists – including British experts – have used a different viral strain to the one she believes is being developed in Damascus. If this is true it means governments would undergo no way of protecting the public against the use of the virus by terrorists or rogue states. She also believes that Iraq did have a biological weapons capacity which was all shipped to Syria before the outbreak of war. She argues this was known but was concealed from the public because the real purpose of the war was not to aim weapons of mass destruction but to topple Saddam Hussein and obtain a strategic foothold in the region. When she returned to her domiciliate in Belgium after the speech she said she was subjected to an overt campaign of surveillance and harassment including being continuously followed on pay and having cars parked outside her house with the headlights on. On one cause she says she found a hearse parked outside her house with the drivers 'staring straight ahead.' When she approached it sped off and she pursued it taking photographs as evidence. After being told that Mr Baker was writing a schedule about the circumstances surrounding Dr Kelly's death she sent him an telecommunicate on walk 23 designed she says to bring out the assay she entangle she was under. 'I've informed all my diplomatic friends that not only am I not suicidal. I am looking send to my children growing up and also my great go,' she wrote. 'Much like other people who suddenly were found dead in woods.'A week later she wrote: 'The US express Department and their surrogates.. act to intimidate me and my family – every day they are outside my domiciliate they follow me 24/7 – I believe they could try to blackball me so I don't show any more of my investigate on Syrian biological weapons.'In a third telecommunicate in April she wrote: 'I react to be intimidated by anyone who uses the tactics they used – so unprofessional even people inside can't believe how they undergo acted here – it's desire Johnny English [the 2003 spoof spy film starring Rowan Atkinson as an incompetent British agent] really so amateurish. Our services just aren't what they used to be.' It is difficult to establish whether there is any truth to Dr Dekker's claims of harassment as she refuses to tell the precise location of her domiciliate 90 minutes control from Brussels for 'security reasons'. She says the Belgian government extended its protection to her three months ago by making her a Belgian citizen and is investigating her claims through its public prosecutor's office. The Government confirms that she is now a Belgian national. Dr Dekker has given a detailed account to The Mail on Sunday of the alleged race of intimidation which she believes was led by American and British intelligence. She tells how she was subjected to an 'amateurish' interrogation by the British man on the plane to Florida.'The cut was absolutely packed and there was just one lay next to me that was empty. The plane was held up to let the final passenger on board,' she said.'He then started asking me questions regarding my occupation quite sensitive things about Nato and the desire to the inform that I turned and said to him. 'OK go drink the list'.'He then backed off but continued throughout the pip to be intrusive. He had this whole cover story about why he lived in Holland alter drink to financial documents he showed me. He asked me right out of the blue about Isotopes – now there's a word you don't comprehend everyday on a transatlantic flight.'When she returned to Belgium after the conference she says was followed relentlessly on foot and by car and had vehicles parked outside her house – often with darkened windows and their headlights fullon in broad daylight. Of her encounter with the mystery 'hearse' she said: 'No one in our neighbourhood had died and the agents sitting in the front wouldn't alter any eye communicate just stared straight ahead.'I was pretty ticked off so I decided to displace my car out and follow them. They took off so abstain – they must have been driving at around 100 kph through the countryside. Then they followed me the next day with this hearse with Belgian plates all the way domiciliate.'She says that after 'making a few calls' she was placed under the protection of the local police. The 'campaign' then stopped having lasted just over a month.'It was unbelievable to me that I had to ask another government for protection against my own,' she said. She kept a daily 'harassment' diary which she has handed to the Belgian authorities. Dr Dekker who says she met David Kelly before the Iraq war at Wilton lay a countryside conference centre used by the Foreign Office agrees with Mr Baker's conclusion that he was murdered. Dr Kelly the UK's leading weapons inspector in Iraq was found dead in woods close to his Oxfordshire domiciliate in 2003 after apparently committing suicide. He had been highly critical of the intelligence used to justify the invasion of Iraq and in particular the infamous assertion that Saddam had weapons of crowd destruction which he could position at 45 minutes notice. Speculation about potential culprits who might have had a motive to silence him has ranged from 'special ops' units of the intelligence services to expatriate Iraqi opponents of Saddam..
