Steven Gaal

Why keep him in prison without for 20 days, especially as he is cooperating with the investigation? (100% in dark,patsies set up this patsy) ============================================================================================ Arrest in bombing case prompts scrutiny in India ================oooo============================ By Mannika Chopra/CPJ India Consultant link http://cpj.org/blog/2012/03/journalists-arrest-in-bombing-prompts-scrutiny-in.php ------------------------------------------------ To many in the Indian media community, the arrest of independent journalist Syed Mohammad Kazmi by the Delhi police's Special Cell on March 6 for his alleged involvement in a bombing brings back troublesome memories. The blast was that of a car belonging to an Israeli diplomat which local media reports have linked to Iran. While producing Kazmi before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, the public prosecutor said the bomb attack -- in which the wife of the Israeli defense attaché was seriously injured -- was a case of "international terrorism." Many reporters say the accusations against Kazmi remind them of 2002, when Delhi-based Kashmiri journalist Iftikhar Gilani was arrested and charged with espionage under the Official Secrets Act. The son-in-law of a Kashmiri separatist leader, Gilani was in prison for seven months as anonymously sourced, fabricated stories appeared in the media supposedly confirming his guilt. Speaking to CPJ, Gilani recalled the experience: "It was a classic case of trial by the media. Mohammad Kazmi should not be executed by the media as happened in my case. Already the coverage of his arrest has been one-sided, and that is dangerous," he said. Ten years ago, with the tireless intervention of some media activists and friends, Gilani was eventually proved innocent and released. Today, family, friends, media activists, and some political leaders came together to support Kazmi. In a chaotic outdoor press conference at the premises of the Press Club of India, speakers stressed Kazmi's professional credentials and the unlikelihood of his being involved in any terrorist activities. An independent, accredited journalist, they said, Kazmi has been working regularly for several Iranian media outlets, including the Iranian News Agency, IRNA; India's state broadcaster Doordarshan; the BBC; and has contributed columns to several Urdu publications. He also runs a small Urdu news agency, Media Star. S.K. Pandey, general secretary of the Delhi Union of Journalists, the largest body of journalists in the country, said Kazmi was a journalist with "impeccable credentials." "I have received more than 60 calls from journalists vouching for his integrity," he told the press conference. Earlier, the Union issued a statement saying Kazmi should not be victimized simply because he worked for Iranian media outlets and for his professional contacts. "Possibly Kazmi's close association with Iran media outlets is being used by the police to implicate him," Pandey said. Columnist and broadcaster Saeed Naqvi, who worked closely with Kazmi when he reported on the Iraq war, said he was an "honored and honest friend." "With his knowledge of Persian, Arabic, Urdu, English, he was in demand as an interpreter and for international journalistic assignments. Sadly, what was considered to professional advantage is now turning out to be a disadvantage," Naqvi said. In an emotional speech, Kazmi's son Shauzab called him a "national hero" and "one of the few Indian journalists who tirelessly covered the Iraq war in 2003." It was on Tuesday that the police picked up Kazmi as he was leaving Delhi's India Islamic Centre, and arrested him under provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. Shauzab said that although police took Kazmi to the police station in the morning, they only informed his family of his whereabouts that evening when they came to his home in BK Dutt Colony to take away his desktop computer, laptop, passport, and other documents. The Times of India suggested that Kazmi was helping the bomber, who it said has since has left for Malaysia, by carrying out surveillance missions on the Israeli embassy and by keeping track of the movements of Israeli diplomats, eventually leading to the attack on February 13. Kazmi is being kept in police custody for 20 days. The Delhi Union of Journalists said it will appeal to the Delhi Commissioner of Police and the Press Council of India to press for bail for Kazmi and to ensure that fair scrutiny takes place. Pandey told CPJ: "We are not here to hamper any investigation. But enquiries should be thorough and the process transparent. If there is any evidence, he should be charged. Why keep him in prison without for 20 days, especially as he is cooperating with the investigation?" Mannika Chopra, CPJ’s India consultant, is based in New Delhi. She is a media columnist and contributes to The Tribune, Hindustan and The Statesman. She is also involved in setting up women media collectives and mentors international journalism students visiting India.

Gaal is desperate! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ COLBY// In any case Karmon was only one several sources cited in one of several media reports. Gaal is desperate! ======================================= Well......well..........not so desperate,you quoted and formatted to give 'him' importance and emphasys. MOSSAD think tank to counter claim of MOSSAD complicity in false flag attack ? Really ? COLBY enters the theater of the absurd........

Hypocritical To do one action/ say something/ practise a way of life then be offended/insulted/ protest when others do the same (to you). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ COLBY FOR anonymous ================================================= Citing anonymous sources is standard journalistic practice; one has to hope that the reporter and his/her editors are honest and exercising good judgment. Some of the most important stories have been broken by anonymous sources ======================================================= COLBY AGAINST anonymous ======================================================== I’m sure they do at times but your link was to an anonymous article, with no citations on an obscure website. Based on the Wiki the case was an interesting one, all felony charges against Drake were eventually dropped and he pled to a misdemeanor. Tatum by contrast was convicted of several felony counts and had his conviction upheld on appeal. One of the judges was a liberal Carter appointee. ==================================================================================== Maybe Epstein in his notes says who told him that. So do you not actually have the book or are you telling us he did not ID the officer in it? In the latter case “all we have is a vague paraphrasing of a single ANONYMOUS source” ========================================================================================= Can you supply evidence in support of the underlined claim? Anonymous claims on obscure websites aren't evidence ===============================================================================================================. Stranger Than Fiction is obviously anti-Semitic as well as anti-Zionist and despicably blamed Jews for the rise of Hitler and Holocaust etc. Yet that didn’t stop you from giving it your wholeheartedly endorsing it and reading it on air. Since the anonymous author cited virtually no sources one has to assume his claims coincided with your beliefs. Speaking of which you have yet to explain why you are “inclined to believe the numbers killed [in the Holocaust] have been exaggerated” =============================================================================================== 2) It is far from established he was responsible for the $100,000 wire transfer to Atta. Reports that he was all seem to stem from anonymous sources within the Indian government who had a vested interest in tainting the Pakistanis. ================================================================================================ LOL this from someone who reported the claim of an anonymous source as fact then refused to admit error when proven to be wrong. And yes I'm referring to your false claim that Zapruder worked at Nardis till 1959. ====================================================================================== Since "Trousher"'s claim that the Schofield was supposed to fly Kennedy is most certainly false there is no reason to believe the undocumented claims of the anonymous poster. ======================================================================================================= As for the stuff from Wayne Madsen sorry I don’t find him credible all his stories come from supposedly anonymous sources and can’t be confirmed. ======================================================================================================= So just why did Fetzer accept the undocumented claims of an anonymous author who can’t get his facts (or math) straight? My guess is that it is because “Pastore” touched on the good professor’s pre-existing prejudices. =============================================================================== A briefer version of the chapters than the one he read is available on the link below. It is interesting to note that despite Fetzer's customary insistence that he depends on scholarship, facts, evidence etc he uncritically read and endorsed the claims of an anonymous author who didn't provide any evidence for the claims above other than the undocumented claims of Benjamin Freedman an elderly Jewish businessman who claims to have been at the Versailles peace talks. Freedman is probably the most popular Jew among anti-Semites. ============================================================================== LOL,"exhaustive research"? "to confirm facts"? are you kidding! You didn’t cite a single source in your “paper” and were unable to cite any when asked other than a supposed anonymous source who you couldn’t even confirm was in a position to know what they claim and an unnamed “researcher”. =============================================================================================== Supposedly used, your source was an anonymous hacker website which cited no sources. Since you like to speculate so much what do you imagine they used quinine for? Gin and tonics? what about the Manganese chloride? ================================================================================================ couldn’t agree more so far none of your links 1) cited sources other than anonymous Indian government officials that Ahmed order the money transfer OR ================================================================================================ Given the known animosity between the Indian and Pakistani intelligence such claims are suspect. How much credence would you put in claims from anonymous CIA officials that that the head of the KGB was responsible for some notorious act? In any case such articles* normally say the US forced his dismissal over this which contradicts your theory they were in cahoots. ========================================================================================= According to an anonymous webpage “Douglas Bazata told the Washington Star that he was given $10,000 to “put him down”. He claims he did not assassinate Patton, but was told how it was done by a fellow spook credited for the deed. Polygraph tests taken by Bazata gave no evidence of lying.” =============================================================================================== Even according to the Velvet Revolution site quoting the lawyer behind the suit he denied engaging electoral fraud under oath, so what indications are there other than anonymous hearsay that head been threatened or was going to make damaging admissions? ================================== MORE THAN 50,thats fifty more.........more than 50 other examples ......

COLBY BELOW UPDATE 1-India police arrest man with Iran link over Israel attack • • Reuters 7:42 a.m. CST, March 7, 2012 [...] The Indian journalist, Mohammed Kazmi, was an employee of India's state television channel and also freelanced for Iran's state funded Islamic Republic News Agency, his lawyer and members of his family said. It was not immediately clear if he still worked for the agency. […] Kazmi was not directly involved in the attack itself, in which a motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to the car in moving traffic and set off the device, police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said. The main suspect was a foreigner, possibly an Iranian, a senior police source who did not want to be named told reporters. "What we have learnt from the interrogation is that this man (Kazmi) had been in touch with the main accused," said the source. "We have also found out that the main accused had visited Kazmi's residence." […] http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-rt-indiaisrael-blast-update-1-pixl4e8e74ex-20120307,0,1074919,full.story "The case, which had gone silent, was reportedly cracked on the basis of inputs provided by Thailand, where the same Iranian group incidentally set off three blasts on February 14, which maimed one of the bombers. Increased surveillance in the wake of this intelligence led the police to Kazmi, a Press Information Bureau-accredited journalist. "There is a definite link between the Bangkok blast of February 14 and the New Delhi attack," said a top official. […] … During the raid on Kazmi's house, police also recovered a photograph where the main bomber is seen with Kazmi at a function.The investigations revealed that Kazmi was in touch with a group of four to five Iranian nationals, all in their 30s, for over a year. The planning for the attack was done some time around February 2011 and the main bomber, who placed the "sticky bomb" on diplomat Tal Yehoshua's car on February 13, had even stayed for almost a month last year in Delhi and discussed the plan with Kazmi. The bomber had also visited Kazmi's residence several times. […] … Kazmi, they said, had been visiting Iran and Middle-Eastern countries frequently. In fact, he visited the Middle East immediately after the attack.The arrest, however, has made India's tightrope walk on Iran a lot more difficult… […] http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Attack-on-Israeli-diplomat-linked-to-Bangkok-blast/articleshow/12181263.cms Mohammed Ahmed Kazmi, who was arrested by the special cell in connection with the attack on an Israeli embassy car on February 13, has revealed that the initial target of the assailant was Israel’s diplomatic mission in Chankya Puri. Top police sources disclosed that the plan to target Israeli mission was, however, dropped after the foreign national, who is suspected to have carried out the attack and left the country on the day of the attack itself, found the security arrangements at the Israeli embassy “risky”. Sources said this foreign national is believed to have links with the spy agency of Iran. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/nation/north/initial-target-was-israeli-embassy-230 See also: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Journalist-held-for-terror-attack-on-Israeli-envoys-car/articleshow/12180981.cms Officers from a special team claimed they moved in on Kazmi on the basis of “clinching evidence” linking him to the terror bid. This includes “a substantial number of calls” he made to Syria and Iran, an officer said. http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/newdelhi/Journalist-held-in-Israeli-embassy-car-bombing-case/Article1-821990.aspx “My husband is innocent and he has paid for speaking the truth. He has been arrested for speaking out in favour of Iran and against Israel as well as America in a talk show on a news channel. Our Khuda (God) is with us and he will dispense justice,” said Jahan Ara, 53, Kazmi’s wife. Ara was later seen praying at a dargah. Kazmi, a native of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, came to Delhi with his family nearly 25 years ago. Earlier, they lived in Welcome area of northeast Delhi. Eight years ago, they bought a house near Karbala (a Shia shrine) in the BK Dutt colony of Jor Bagh and have lived here since then. Kazmi’s is the only Muslim family living in the area. http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Family-alleges-he-was-held-for-favouring-Iran/Article1-822461.aspx His lawyer said he had taken at least one reporting trip to Iran on behalf of India’s state broadcaster. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2012%5C03%5C08%5Cstory_8-3-2012_pg7_6 Police had arrested the journalist who covered the Iran-Iraq war and also used to visit Iran embassy. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Counsel-tells-court-Kazmi-is-being-framed/articleshow/12181315.cms NEW DELHI – Delhi Police arrested an Indian journalist, Syed Mohammed Ahmad Kazmi, a Shi’ite with longstanding Iranian connections, on Tuesday for his alleged role in facilitating the February 13 bombing of an Israeli Embassy car. […] …They also disclosed that Kazmi is likely to have visited the Israeli Embassy… […] “He was a frequent visitor to Iran since 1983 and has visited several countries in the Middle East, including Iraq and Syria,” an official close to the investigation said. […] Karmon added that the arrest of Kazmi fits in with an established Iranian pattern of using locals while setting up attacks abroad. “In terms of characteristics, they set up a local infrastructure using Sunnis or Shi’ites. They [the Iranians] don’t care, as long as the job gets done,” he said. Often, “the serious operational people” are Iranians or Hezbollah operatives, and arrive briefly in the designated country to create the explosives before leaving, Karmon said. Past terror plots organized by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have followed similar patterns in South America, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia, he added. Karmon pointed to a 2008 plot to blow up the Israeli embassy in Baku, in which two Lebanese suspects and four Azerbaijani nationals were arrested. The Lebanese men have since been sentenced to 15 years behind bars each. Several Iranian, Lebanese and Azerbaijani members of the terror ring escaped to Iran, he added. Similarly, in 1999, an Indonesia terror suspect was arrested in the Philippines, and told authorities he had been recruited by Hezbollah, together with other Indonesians and Malaysians. The suspects trained in Lebanon before being dispatched to attack targets in Australia and Israel. “This has been happening again and again since 1983,” Karmon said. In many cases, Lebanese Shi’ite expatriates are approached for recruitment. http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=260922 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ==================================== END COLBY END COLBY ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ START STEVEN GAAL START STEVEN GAAL Now lets put LEN COLBY in the Way Back Machine and change his age.

Related links very good. Moral transformation demonstrates the power and profundity of the Bible which can and does occur. (wink). Jesus is Lord. Steven Gaal ====================================== ====================================== THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT link http://www.godonthe.net/HolySpirit/sgifts.htm (below) relatted link http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/IVP-NT/Gal/Freedom-Moral-Transformation related link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_Holy_Spirit ======================================================================================= The Holy Spirit brings forth fruit in the believer in Christ-like graces of character. Galatians 5:22-23 [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Compare Romans 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed -- the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. All real beauty of character, all real Christlikeness in us, is the Holy Spirit's work, it is His fruit. He bears it, not us. Notice these graces are not said to be the fruits of the Spirit, they are the fruit. There is a unity of origin running through all the multiplicity of manifestation. It is a beautiful life that is set forth in these verses. Every word is worthy of earnest study and profound meditation. "Love", "joy", "peace", "long-suffering", "kindness", "goodness", "faith", "meekness", "self-control." Is not this the life we all long for, the Christ-life? It is not natural to us, and it is not attainable by any effort of the flesh or nature. The life that is natural to us is set forth in the three preceding verses: Galatians 5:19-21 [19] The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; [20] idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions [21] and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But when the indwelling Spirit is given full control in the one He inhabits, when we are brought to realize the utter badness of the flesh and give up in hopeless despair of ever attaining to anything in its power -- when, in other words, we come to the end of self and just give over the whole work of making us what we ought to be to the indwelling Holy Spirit, then, and only then, holy graces of character are His fruit. Do you wish these graces in your character and life? Renounce self utterly and all its striving after holiness, and let the Holy Spirit, who dwells in you, take full control and bear His own glorious fruit. (We get the same essential truth from another point of view in the following passage.) Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Settle it clearly and forever that the flesh can never bear this fruit, that you can never attain these things by your own effort, that they are "the fruit of the Spirit." We hear a good deal in these days about "ethical culture," which usually means a cultivation of the flesh, until it bears the fruit of the Spirit. It can not be done until thorns can be made to bear figs, and a bramble bush grapes. Luke 6:44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. Matthew 12:33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. We hear also a good deal about "character-building." That is all very well if you let the Holy Spirit do the building, and then it is not so much building as fruit-bearing. See, however, the following: 2 Peter 1:5-7 [5] For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; [6] and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; [7] and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. We hear also about cultivating graces of character, but we must always bear in mind that the way to cultivate true graces of character is by submitting ourselves utterly to the Spirit to do His work. "This is sanctification of the Spirit." 1 Peter 1:2 To God's elect, strangers in the world, ... [2] who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. There is a sense, however, in which cultivating graces of character is right. We look at Jesus Christ to see what we ought to be, then we look to the Holy Spirit to make us this that we ought to be. ========================================== ========================================= oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT... POSITIVE CONFESSIONS? A BIBLE CONFESSION OF THE MOUTH by Betty Miller As Christians, our confession should be what we term a "Bible confession" instead of just a "positive confession." We are not talking about confessing our sins here, but rather confessing or acknowledging with our mouth the truths from God's Word. Certainly the Bible tells us to confess our sins, but that is not the only confession we need to make. We are also told to confess or speak out loud the promises of God, in faith, so we can receive them. We need to clarify the difference between the so-called "positive confession" taught by the success propagators in the world and a "Bible confession." Many times, their confessions are directed toward "self," not toward God's Word. They build their "castles in the sky," but they are not founded on the Word of God; instead they are based on what they desire for themselves. For example, you will probably never hear them confessing the following portion of God's Word, "If we suffer, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us" (2 Timothy 2:12). We must begin confessing what the Word of God has to say about our lives and circumstances instead of what those in the world may speak about the situation. In confessing God's Word, we must not pick out only the Scriptures we desire, but also the ones the Lord desires for us. He certainly desires to bless us, but He also desires to cleanse us. We must be as enthusiastic in our confessions to be cleansed from all that would offend the Lord as we are in confessing the physical blessings He has promised us. We must learn to set a guard on our mouths, as it is very important to control our conversation. We will ultimately receive the things that we speak. If we speak evil long enough, it will come to pass; likewise if we speak good. "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God" (Psalm 50:23). "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" (Proverbs 18:20-21). We must not only claim God's Word, but also learn to speak or confess His Word. We must confess our faith in God's Word. We must not confess lack, as the Heavenly Father has given us everything we need. We must not confess defeat, as God has made us more than conquerors. We must not confess doubt, as God has given us His faith. We are to speak the things that the Word of God declares as truth. We easily quote what men have to say on a subject, and many times we believe them despite what the Word of God has to say about it. Yet we are often hesitant to quote what God says because the devil tells us we would be lying. He causes us to look at our circumstances rather than the Word. Circumstances are subject to change, and one of the things that can cause them to do so is the confession of God's Word over a particular situation. In fact, the Word of God tells us to confess or talk about the things we are believing God to do in our lives and He will bring it to pass. Romans 4:20-22, "He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness." Romans 4:17, "(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were". For instance, if we are in need of finances, the devil will try to get us to confess such things as, "I guess we will just have to take bankruptcy since we can not pay the bills," or "I don't know what we will do when we can't make the house payment." Instead, we need to align our confession with the Word of God. "My God shall supply all your (my) need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (me)" (Matthew 6:33). (Emphasis is mine). We should confess our faith and trust in the Lord by saying,"I don't know how the Lord is going to help us meet this need, but I confess that He will because He cares for us." We bring evil and good things forth by what we speak. Jesus referred to this in Matthew 12:34-37:

The espionage link to Israel is the company named Asiasoft Global Pte Ltd. (Singapore), which has worked as a sub-contractor to upgrade the telecommunication systems for the police. Two of the directors of the firm, Izhak David Nakar and Ido Schechter, are reportedly Israeli citizen. However, this is not the first time the ‘Israeli connection’ is raised. In 2008, then Malasian Home Minister had told the Parliament: “Then between November and December, a police report was lodged by the responsible police officers and investigated by one ASP Sairah. Then Sairah was transferred to Taiping and there was no news after that,” The Malaysian Insider. How reliable is Anwar Ibrahim? Well, he is known for his good connections with the Jewish Lobby in the US through personal friendship and links to CIA-funded think tanks. In 2000, Malaysian politician Lim Kit Siang had asked former prime minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad to declare the outcome of a three year police investigation to whether Anwar Ibrahim is a CIA operative. Anwar Ibrahim has been a good friend of former US Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton administration, William S. Cohen (1997-2001), son of a Russian Jewish immigrant Reuben Cohen. No other Malaysian politician has forged such a relationship with individuals of the likes of Paul Wolfowitz, the former US Secretary of Defence and ex- President of the World Bank, who fervently believes that Israeli military dominance and power in the Middle East serves US interests. One of the principal advocates of the invasion and occupation of Iraq in furtherance of Israeli goals in the region, Wolfowitz was described by Anwar Ibrahim as his “great friend,” a person in whom he has “faith,” in a speech in the US on 19 June 2006. It seems now, Anwar Ibrahim is trying to turn the table on his old Zionist friends after being betrayed by Washington-based Zionist PR firm apco Worldwide, whose several directors are not only former Israeli high officials such as Shimon Shein , former Tel Aviv ambassador in Bonn, ItamarRabinovich and former Tel Aviv ambassador in Washington. Its CEO in Israel Gad Ben-Ari was a personal adviser to former PM Rabin. Speaking at 2003 OIC summit meeting in Malaysia in October 2003 – Malaysian prime minister Muhathir Mohamad while urged Muslim youth to abandon suicide attacks and apply their faith to strive in science and technology – he blamed Israel and its western allies for creating most of world’s crisis and wars. Malaysia is a multicultural, multiracial and multireligion society ruled by a secular democratic government in which Muslims make a slight majority (60%). This makes easy for the Judeo-Christian foreign agents to incite communal clashes in Malaysia. Malaysia doesn’t recognize Israel. Israeli professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi in his book, The Israeli Connection, wrote about Zionists’ hatred toward the Muslim world and their support for anti-Muslim insurgencies and covert military and intelligence operations to destablize Muslim countries especially those which don’t recognize the European Jewish occupation of Palestine. The book documents Tel Aviv’s involvement in Iran-Cntra fiasco, French genocide of Algerian Muslims, aiding Idi Amin and Marcos against Moro Muslim resistance, collaborating with Chinese and Burmese genocide of Muslims in those countries. Currently Israeli Mossad is very active in India where it carried out the 2008 Mumbai terrorist false-flag operation; in Afghanistan, in Lebanon, in Pakistan, in Indonesia, in Pakistan, in Iran, in Nigeria, in Somalia, in Malaysia and many other Muslim countries. ==================================== ==================================== oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Deep background THAILAND http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/08/exposed-indy-newspaper-funded-by-us.html vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv http://asiancorrespondent.com/75618/sondhi-l-us-capitalists-behind-campaign-to-overthrow-the-monarchy/

The inaccurate and insulting categorization of those who sacrificed to attend Bolivia’s World Peoples Conference on Climate Change and the Protection of Mother Earth in 2010 is a good example of how flawed “global intelligence” is built on bigotry, racism, gossip and misinformation. In 2010, Indigenous Peoples from throughout the world attended the gathering in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and established protocols to safeguard Mother Earth for the survival of this planet. In the Stratfor files, US State Dept. sources mischaracterize the Indigenous delegations at the summit. The Cochabamba climate summit participants are incorrectly categorized by US State Department sources as "anti-US, anti-Capitalism (specifically targeting Coca Cola), anti-UN, pro-coca (sic cocaine) and narco-trafficking platform that was embraced by 22,000 anti-US, left-wing anarchists in as a result of the recent Climate Change Summit in Cochabamba." The flawed and inaccurate “intelligence” in these files includes e-mails about Bolivian President Evo Morales and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, as did the US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks. However, the Stratfor files are strewn with seedy gossip. Stratfor staff appears more focused on power and control, with the fervor of religious zealouts, than on facts. The e-mails reveal spying on activists, including the revelation that Coca Cola contacted Stratfor to spy on PETA. Specifically Coca Cola wanted to know if US members of PETA would be protesting at the Vancouver Olympics. Stratfor’s client list also reveals a large number of oil companies, which comes as no surprise. Around the world, oil and mining companies target Indigenous Peoples and activists defending the land, water and forests, resulting in abuse, rapes, tortures and assassinations of villagers and Indigenous Peoples. The e-mails reveal the smug and sinister games of global spies, far removed from the romanticized versions in television and films. In an e-mail about President Chavez’ health, dated Dec. 6, 2011, Stratfor reveals its strategy, including taking “financial, sexual and psychological control” of sources. "If this is a source you suspect may have value, you have to take control of him. Control means financial, sexual or psychological control to the point where he would reveal his sourcing and be tasked. This is difficult to do when you are known to be affiliated with an intelligence organization. The decision on approach would not come from you but from your handler. This is because you're position is too close to the source and your judgment by definition suspect. Each meeting would be planned between you and your handler and each meeting would have a specific goal not built around discussing the topic of interest which would ideally be hidden but in analyzing him personally and moving toward control. The justification for the op would be specific classes of information and on gaining control the first step would be determining his access. If he failed the test contact would be terminated." The e-mails include a report on the attack on ICE in Mexico, which left one agent dead and another wounded.

In the global economy, knowledge of coming political events help companies make money out of futures. As trading in futures becomes important for bonds, stocks, currency and even food and raw materials, so does the value of information. So what was earlier the exclusive preserve of governments is now becoming an industry, with Stratfor a new animal in this global security zoo. Along with Blackwater, renamed as Xe Services and now once again name changed to Academi, Stratfor is seeking to get into the larger security market. Stratfor did not stop with only providing information to its clients. From the treasure trove of its emails, it is clear that it also did what all intelligence agencies do. It was also monitoring activists who were fighting for the rights of the victims of the Bhopal gas leak, for Dow Chemicals. . At a price, its services were available – from collecting dirt on opponents of its clients to “fixing” them if required. A private dirty tricks agency. Wikileaks itself was a target of Stratfor. There are more than 4,000 emails detailing the efforts of the US agencies and Stratfor in attacking Wikileaks and Julian Assange. The emails makes it clear that Stratfor was also closely tied up with CIA and Mossad. Both must have found the veneer of “independent analysis” that Stratfor provided as very useful in shaping the public discourse. As Stratfor also gave out free backgrounders on critical issues, a host of people (including me) find it useful as basic information. It is widely used by journalists and analysts all over the world, despite its pro-American stand. What stands out – from a preliminary analysis by Wikileaks – is how close it was to the agencies of the US Government. Wikileaks states, Stratfor claims that it operates "without ideology, agenda or national bias", yet the emails reveal private intelligence staff who align themselves closely with US government policies and channel tips to the Mossad – including through an information mule in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Yossi Melman, who conspired with Guardian journalist David Leigh to secretly, and in violation of WikiLeaks’ contract with the Guardian, move WikiLeaks US diplomatic cables to Israel. What is even more disturbing in the Stratfor emails, is how it was modelling itself on the ethics or the lack of it of the intelligence agencies. George Friedman , the head of Stratfor tells Stratfor analyst Reva Bhalla in an email on how to exploit an Israeli intelligence informant providing information on the medical condition of the President of Venezuala, Hugo Chavez, "[Y]ou have to take control of him. Control means financial, sexual or psychological control... This is intended to start our conversation on your next phase." When the Anonymous break-in had occurred in December last year , Stratfor had claimed that the list of private clients that had been made public was not of clients for whom it provided intelligence services. Friedman, the Stratfor head had stated. Contrary to this assertion the disclosure was merely a list of some of the members that have purchased our publications and does not comprise a list of individuals or entities that have a relationship with Stratfor beyond their purchase of our subscription-based publications. It is now clear from the emails that this was deliberate misinformation – Stratfor did have private clients for whom they did considerably more than just supply publications. The size of the payments as visible from its invoices is to the tune of half a million in some cases, easily making these the most expensive publications in history! Goldman Sachs had partnered with Stratfor to pioneer a new venture called StratCap, which would use Stratfor's strategic knowledge for promoting investment funds indeed an innovative instrument for making money. In doing this, it would cross many of the barriers regarding conflict of interest – if it bet on a war to push up prices, how much of this would colour what Stratfor would put out regarding the situation? Would Stratfor be willing to stoke the fires of war in order to make a financial killing as StratCap? The private intelligence network of Stratfor was similar to that of any Government intelligence agency – it was based on private informants in governments of countries, companies and journalists. They were paid through slush funds, some of which were illegal based on the US laws. Of course Stratfor was protected by its close contacts with the US agencies. Wikileaks is working with 25 news partners including The Hindu to analyse these 5 million Stratfor emails. Once again, the electronic age shows how difficult it is maintain a public façade that is different from a private one. And Wikileaks has once again showed that in spite of being hamstrung by the US agencies stopping PayPal and credit card companies from transferring money, it still continues to fight the good fight.

Colby/ One could rationalize that perhaps they were patriotic Iranians duped into thinking they were working for the government, but that would NOT explain why the Iranian government has shown no signs of trying to find Shayan and Rohani 13 and 17 days after (as of March 3) the Thais issued arrest warrants for them, released their photos and informed the dates (and presumably times) of their return flights. If the Iranian government was NOT involved it would want to do so not just help the Thais and allay suspicion it was responsible but to find operatives involved with a group trying to overthrow them. ============================ Colby/ The most compelling one that the Iranian government was responsible for the attacks was that they have not captured or apparently even tried to find Shayan or Rohani. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The operatives could have been met off the plane by a FALSE Iranian controller and taken them for a very special 'debriefing'. ====================== Point two, We dont know what they (Iran) had done. I would like to see a THAI report in the next few days expressing the view that the 'THAI' government is upset regarding Iran's lack of help in finding the fugitives. sg

Syria and Conspiracy Theories: It is a Conspiracy link http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=29596 by Felicity Arbuthnot 3/3/2012 ------------------oooooooo--------------------------- We have met the enemy and he is us. (Walt Kelly, 1913-1973.) ===================================================== It was political analyst Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, in November 2006, who wrote in detail(1) of US plans for the Middle East: The term New Middle East, was introduced to the world in June 2006, in Tel Aviv, by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (who was credited by the Western media for coining the term) in replacement of the older and more imposing term, the Greater Middle East , he wrote. Sanity dictated that this would be a U.S. fantasy rampage too far and vast until realization hit that the author of the map of this New World, planned in the New Worlds New World Order, was Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters, who, in one of the most terrifying articles ever published, wrote in 1997: There will be no peace. At any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe. Violent conflict will dominate the headlines …The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing.(2) (My emphasis.) At the time, Peters was assigned to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, where he was responsible: for future warfare. His plans for Iraq worked out just fine unless you are an Iraqi. A month after Nazemroayas article was published, William Roebuck, Director for the Office of the State Departments Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, was composing an end of year strategy for Syria(3) from his study in the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, where he had been based between 2004-2007, rising to Deputy Chief of Mission. The subject title was: Influencing the SARG (Syrian Arab Regime Government) in the end of 2006. The SARG ends 2006 in a much stronger position domestically and internationally (than in) 2005. Talking of President Assads: growing self-confidence, he felt that this might lead to: mistakes and ill-judged … decisions … providing us with new opportunities. Whilst: additional bilateral or multilateral pressure can impact on Syria, clearly he had even more ambitious plans: This cable summarizes our assessment of … vulnerabilities, and suggests that there may be actions, statements and signals, that the USG (US Government) can send that will improve the likelihood of such opportunities arising . The proposals would need to be: fleshed out and converted into real actions and we need to be ready to move quickly to take advantage of such opportunities. (no, not a Le Carré, Forsyth, or Fleming, diplomat in Damascus.) As the end of 2006 approaches wrote Roebuck, Bashar appears … stronger than he has done in two years. The country is economically stable …regional issues seem to be going Syrias way. However: vulnerabilities and looming issues may provide opportunities to up the pressure on Bashar … some of these vulnerabilities (including the complexities with Lebanon)"... "can be exploited to put pressure on the regime. Actions that cause Bashar to lose balance, and increase his insecurity, are in our interest. The Presidents: mistakes are hard to predict and benefits may vary, if we are prepared to move quickly and take advantage of opportunities … A vulnerability, wrote Roebuck, was Bashar al Assads protection of: Syrias dignity and international reputation. Pride and protection, clearly a shocking concept. In the light of the proposed Tribunal in to the assassination of Lebanons former`Prime Minister, Rafick Hariri (14th February 2005) killed with his friend, former Minister of Economy Bassel Fleihan and twenty colleagues and bodyguards, in a huge bomb, detonated under his motorcade, this vulnerability could be exploited. Unproven allegations have pointed the finger at Israel, Syria, Hezbollah and myriad others, as behind another Middle East tragedy, but Roebuck regarded it as an: opportunity to exploit this raw nerve, without waiting for the formation of the Tribunal. Another idea outlined under a further vulnerability heading, was the growing alliance between Syria and Iran. Possible action, was to: play on Sunni fears of Iranian influence. Although these were: often exaggerated, they were there to be exploited: Both the local Egyptian and Saudi missions here … are giving increasing attention to the matter and we should co-ordinate more closely with their governments on ways to better publicize and focus regional attention to the issue. Concerned Sunni religious leaders should also be worked on. Iraq-style divide and rule model, writ large. The divide strategy, of course, should also focus on the first family and legislating circle, with: targeted sanctions (which) must exploit fissures and render the inner circle weaker, rather the drive its members closer together. The public should also be subject to: continual reminders of corruption … we should look for ways to remind … Another aspect to be exploited was: The Khaddam factor. Abdul Halim Khaddam, was Vice President,1984-2005, and acting President in 2000, during the months beween Bashir al Assads accession and his fathers death. Thought to have Presidential ambitions himself, there was a bitter split between Khaddam and al Assad after Hariris death. Allegations of treasonous betrayal by Khaddam have validity. The ruling party, writes Roebuck: …follow every news item involving Khaddam, with tremendous emotional interest. We should continue to encourage the Saudis and others to allow Khaddam access to their media … providing him with venues for airing the SARGs dirty laundry. Morever, it was anticipated that: an over reaction by the regime [would] add to its isolation and alienation from its Arab neighbours. On January 14th 2006, Khaddam had formed a government in exile, and had predicted the end of the al-Assad government by the years end. He is currently regarded as an opposition leader, and has claimed, on Israels Channel 2 TV.(4) receiving money from the US and the EU to help overthrow the Syrian government. The ever creative Mr Roebucks further plans included: Encouraging rumours and signals of external plotting. To this end: Regional allies like Egypt and Saudi Arabia should be encouraged to meet with figures like Kaddam and Rifat (sic) al Assad, with appropriate leaking of the meetings afterwards. This … increases the possibility of a self-defeating over-reaction. Rifaat al Assad, Bashars uncle, was in charge of the Defence Brigade, who killed up to thirty thousand people in, and flattened much of, the city of Hama, in February 1982. So much for endlessly trumpeted concerns for: human rights violations. Rifaat al Assad lives in exile and safety, in London. Khaddam lives in Paris.(5) Here is a serious cause for concern for the overthrow-bent: Bashar keeps unveiling a steady stream of initiatives on reform and it is certainly possible he believes this is his legacy to Syria …. These steps have brought back Syrian expats to invest … (and) increasing openness. Solution? Finding ways to publicly call into question Bashars reform efforts. Indeed, moving heaven and earth to undercut them, is made clear. Further: Syria has enjoyed a considerable up-tick in foreign direct investment; it follows: foreign investment is to be: discouraged. In May of 2006, complains Roebuck, Syrian Military Intelligence protested: what they believed were U.S. efforts to provide military training and equipment to Syrias Kurds. The Iraq model, yet again. The answer was to: Highlight Kurdish complaints. This, however: would need to be handled carefully, since giving the wrong kind of prominence to Kurdish issues in Syria, could be a liability for our efforts … given Syrian … civil societys skepticism of Kurdish objectives. In Conclusion, this shaming, shoddy document states: The bottom line is that Bashar is entering the New Year in a stronger position than he has been, in several years, meaning vulnerabilities must be sought out. If we are ready to capitalize, they will offer us opportunities to disrupt his decision-making, keep him off balance and make him pay a premium for his mistakes. The cable is copied to: The White House, U.S. Secretary of State, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Mission at the UN, U.S. National Security Council, CENTCOM, all Arab League and EU countries. The only U.S. Embassy which recieved a copy is that in Tel Aviv. William Roebuck worked at the Embassy in Tel Aviv (2000-2003) embracing the invasion of Iraq year. In 2009, he was Deputy Political Consul In Baghdad: leading efforts to support the critical 2009 Iraqi elections. The free and fair, democratic ones, where people were threatened with the deaths of their children even, if they did not vote the right way. The result was Nuri al Malikis premiership, complete with his murderous militias. The man under whose Ministry of the Interior, U.S. soldiers discovered tortured, starving prisoners. The Damascus cable comes courtesy Wikileaks. Lt. Colonel Peters called, on Fox News, for founder, Julian Assange, to be assassinated. The forty second clip(6) is worth the listen. The Colonel also writes fiction and thrillers under the name Owen Patterson. Perhaps he is living the dream.

Who was behind the Delhi bombing? The bombing of an Israeli diplomat's car in India isn't consistent with Iranian or Hezbollah involvement. Last Modified: 02 Mar 2012 17:32 (PICTURE NOT UPLOADED) The car was damaged mainly not by the bomb's explosion, but by the resulting slow-burning fire [Reuters] -------------------------------oooo------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Washington, DC - The magnet bomb that exploded on an Israeli Embassy diplomat's car in Delhi on February 13 seemed on the surface to be consistent with an Iranian-sponsored action. It was carried out with same method by which Israel's Iranian proxy, the Mujahedin-e Khalq, had assassinated an Iranian scientist in mid-January. It occurred on the anniversary of the 2008 assassination of Hezbollah operations chief Imad Mugniyeh, which Hezbollah had vowed to avenge. And it happened at the same time as what appeared to be attempted bombings in Bangkok and Tbilisi. But a review of the evidence uncovered thus far makes the link to Iran begin to look very dubious. Instead, it points to the distinct possibility that the Israelis planned a carefully limited bomb attack that was not intended to cause serious injury to Israeli diplomatic personnel, but that would advance the larger Israeli narrative on the need to punish Iran. The evidence surrounding that bomb itself indicates a series of decisions by the terrorist team that is fundamentally inconsistent with an Iranian-Hezbollah revenge bombing. The preliminary forensic analysis of the bomb itself had estimated it to be 250-300 grams of explosives, but sources in the investigation later reduced the estimate to 200-250 grams. The 250-gram bomb that exploded near the Delhi High Court in May 2011 did not even damage the car under which it had been placed and was characterised by Police Commissioner B K Gupta as a "low-intensity and mild blast". Burning questions The main damage to the Israeli diplomat's car was not from the explosion but from the fire, which burned so slowly that the occupants suffered no burns. If the bomb had been filled with shrapnel of iron filings, nails or glass, or if it had been attached underneath the fuel tank or on the door next to the passenger, that bomb would have seriously injured or killed the passenger, Tal Yehoshua-Koren, the wife of the Israeli Defense Attaché. But Delhi police were able to determine that the bomb contained no such potentially deadly shrapnel. And an examination of the videos and photos of the car after the bombing revealed that the bomb had been attached instead to the rear of the vehicle, where it would have the least impact on the occupants. Indian investigators obtained a fourth piece of evidence bearing on the intentions of the planners from their interview with Yehoshua-Koren. She told them the bomb did not go off for 30 to 40 seconds after she felt a bump from the rear of the car and saw the motorcyclist go past her window. Indian investigators had assumed that the bomb had operated on a five- or 10-second delay, like other magnet bombs with which they were familiar - only enough time for the motorcyclist to get far enough away from the blast. Yehoshua-Koren did not get out of the car before the bomb went off, and suffered what the Israeli Defense Ministry called "moderate" wounds - evidently from metal fragments from the rear hatch. She was nevertheless able to exit the car and get to the Israeli Embassy without any assistance. Israeli commentary on the bombing suggested that the Iranian-sponsored terrorist team had simply proven to be ineffective in carrying out the bombing. But the combination of these four distinct indicators strongly suggests that the operation was planned so that the passenger in the car would not be injured. Unclear patterns Israel claimed that the evidence links the Delhi bombing to other alleged Iranian-Hezbollah plots in Tbilisi and Bangkok. Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon declared, "It is the same pattern, the same bomb, the same lab, the same factory". Bomb suspects charged in Thailand But it turns out that there was no similarity whatsoever among the bombs found in the three capitals. The one in Tbilisi was described as a grenade in a plastic bag taped to the bottom of the car, which hardly suggests a serious terror plot. Delhi police discovered that the two magnet bombs found in the house in Bangkok, where an accidental explosion had occurred, contained the much more powerful C-4 explosive as well as shrapnel - both of which were absent from the Delhi bomb. And, even more interesting, the Bangkok magnet bombs timed for only a five-second delay. That information led investigators in Delhi to conclude that the operations in Delhi and Bangkok were "unrelated". Despite the fact that a group of Iranian passport-holders were clearly involved with highly lethal bombs in Bangkok, there is good reason to doubt that they were working for Iran's IRGC or Hezbollah. They spent their first three days in the country with Thai prostitutes at Pattaya. That profile suggests Iranian mercenaries, like the former kickboxer hired by Mossad to assassinate Iranian scientist Massoud Ali Mohammadi in January 2010, rather than Iranian or Hezbollah operatives. India's importance In the larger context, it is very difficult to believe that Iran would have chosen New Delhi as the location for revenge against Israel, given the importance of India as a buyer of Iranian oil and India's delicately balanced political-diplomatic position in the larger conflict. India had just replaced China as Iran's single biggest crude oil customer, having increased its imports to roughly 550,000 barrels a day in January, which compensated for a drop in sales to China. And the government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had resisted pressure from the United States and Europe to reduce its purchases from Iran, even working with Iran to find ways to get around the planned sanctions against Iran's National Bank. India's Commerce Ministry was planning a large business delegation to Iran to discuss increased trade. India had thus taken on the role of potential "spoiler" in the Western sanctions strategy against Iran. This central geopolitical reality prompted New Delhi's "Economic Times" to ask, "Why would Iran go and poke its finger in the eye of its best customer, especially knowing full well that Israel will use even the flimsiest excuse to put the blame on it?" Indeed, it was Israel, not Iran that stood to gain politically from the terrorist car bomb in Delhi. Israel was well aware that a terrorist bombing in Delhi that could be blamed on Tehran was a potential lever to change India's policy toward Iran. As an Israeli official told the Wall Street Journal, if India were to adopt Netanyahu's position that Iran was responsible for the bombing, it would take the India-Iran relationship to "a whole different level". Nearly two weeks before the bombing, Israel acted to ensure that Indians would assume that a terrorist attack in Delhi on that date had been carried out by Iran. A letter to the Delhi police on February 1 signed by the Israeli Deputy Chief of Mission in Delhi and the First Secretary responsible for security expressed concern that Iran and Hezbollah would take revenge on the anniversary of the Mugniyeh assassination by carrying out terrorist actions against Israelis. It also referred to the possibility of Iranian revenge for the assassination of the Iranian nuclear scientist Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan on January 11. Although the letter did not specify that an attack might take place in Delhi, Mossad chief Tamir Pardo led a delegation of intelligence officials on a visit to Delhi around the same time and turned over a list of 50 Iranian nationals with the request that they be kept under surveillance. The Israeli letter referred to an alleged Hezbollah terror plot against Israelis that had been broken up in Bangkok in January. But the idea of a Hezbollah plan to kill Israelis in Thailand had come only from Israeli intelligence - not from any local sources. The Thai police detained Hussein Atris, a Swedish-Lebanese, in January only because Israeli intelligence officials had told them they "suspected" that he and two other Lebanese, whom they claimed were linked to Hezbollah, might carry out terrorist attacks at tourist sites popular with Israelis. Atris admitted to owning large supplies of urea fertiliser and ammonium nitrate, which are ingredients in bombs, but Thai investigators concluded that they were not connected to any terror plot in Thailand, because of the absence of any other bomb components. The head of Thailand's National Security Council, General Wichean Potephosree, a former chief of police, expressed doubt that Atris was a terrorist, as Israel had claimed. After the Bangkok explosion, the Israelis renewed the claim of an Iran-Hezbollah terror threat in Bangkok, alleging that the bombs found in in all three capitals in mid-February were "exactly the same kind of devices". But we now know that was not the case. We may never be able to establish with certainty what happened in Delhi, Bangkok and Tbilisi earlier this month, but the evidence that has come to light thus far doesn't support the widely accepted notion that Iran and Hezbollah were behind it. That evidence is consistent, however, with a clever Israeli "false flag" car bombing operation that would not injure the passenger but would serve its broader strategic interests: dividing India from Iran and pushing US public opinion further towards support for war against Iran.

CIA and Mossad penetrte Hezbollah (PAK OBSERVER 3/1/12) Dr. Jassim Taqui Islamabad—The leader of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrullah surprised the Middle East Watchers when he publicly admitted that the CIA penetrated his ranks in collaboration with Mossad. Nasrullah said that three persons were arrested and two of them confessed to being CIA agents. The interrogation of the third is in progress. Nasrullah refused to disclose the identities of the three CIA spies so as not to endanger their innocent families. However, he said that the arrest of the three spies was a victory for Hezbollah. Hezbollah is thought to be impregnable. However, Lebanese newspapers started publishing articles on some mysterious links between Hezbollah and CIA. The new revelation shows that the CIA is vastly activating its human intelligence. It is moving aggressively inside very dangerous organizations in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. Building a human intelligence network is a prerequisite for using the drones against the adversaries of the United States. Lebanon is very high on the CIA agenda. According to Arabic daily Al Mustaqbal of Lebanon, the 3 Hezbollah spies were handed over to the Lebanese Justice Minister Shakib Quortbawi for investigation according to the Lebanese judicial system. They are considered as “ national security risk.” Ya Libnan disclosed that the actual Hezbollah spies exceeds 10 and many of them were spying for the Israeli spy agency Mossad. However, As Safir Arabic daily said the spies were recruited by Israeli American spies. Al Diyar Arabic daily also touched the subject and said two Hezbollah spies were recruited by CIA while the third was recruited by Mossad. Al-Akhbar Arabic daily said the CIA and Mossad penetration of Hezbollah is the biggest in the history of the resistance. It said that the episode shows that Nasrullah is not only waging a war with Israel but also with the US intelligence. There is a serious twist to this episode. According to the London-based Arabic daily Asharq Alawsat, five high ranking Hezbollah officials are expected to be indicted by the United Nations special tribunal investigating the assassination of former prime minister of Lebanon Rafik al-Hariri. Once the indictments are released, the identities of the accused will be kept secret for a short period in order to allow the Lebanese government to investigate and arrest them, according to the paper. Initially, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon(STL) probing the murder of Rafik Al-Hariri focused on Syria. Lately, indications suggest that the main focus is now on Hezbollah. Nasrullah disclosure that his party is penetrated by the CIA and Mossad is an implicit admission that the spies within Hezbollah could be responsible for the assassination of al-Hariri. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ========================================================= link http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2012/01/17/Spy-arrests-expose-Israeli-penetration/UPI-45651326828414/ Spy arrests expose Israeli penetration The arrest of a retired telecoms expert on suspicion of spying for Israel for 35 years has stunned Lebanon where 150 foreign agents have been arrested since 2009. Published: Jan. 17, 2012 at 2:26 PM BEIRUT, Lebanon, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- The recent detention of a retired telecoms expert on suspicion of spying for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency for 35 years has stunned Lebanon, where 150 foreign agents have been arrested since 2009. This roundup included several army generals and colonels, politicians, businessmen as well as humbler folk, Christian and Muslim alike, exposing just how extensively the Mossad, and probably other Israeli spy services, allegedly penetrated every level of Lebanese society over the years. Lebanese Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar recently drew up a list of 150 cases to be filed as a complaint against Israel to the U.N. Security Council. The findings, he told the London's Arabic daily Al-Hayat, "are hard to believe." Judicial and security officials gave few details as the suspect, identified as Elias Younes, underwent interrogation. But Lebanon's official news agency reported he was a longtime employee of the state-run Ogero telecommunications company. Al-Manar, the television network run by Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite movement that's the primary target of Israel's intensive espionage operation in Lebanon, alleged that Younes supplied Mossad with voluminous intelligence over the decades. It said this involved technical data, including military and naval communications and movements, as well as detailed information on Lebanese officials, no doubt many of them Hezbollah members. The network said Younes confessed he was recruited by Mossad in 1977. Many suspects, including several key telecommunications officials, were recruited in the 1980s and '90s. That makes Younes the longest-serving of the alleged Israeli agents who have been rounded up over the last three years in a counterintelligence operation that's probably one of the most successful in modern history, certainly in the conflict-plagued Middle East where espionage is endemic. "Wherever you dig in Lebanon you find a spy," political science Professor Hilal Khashan of the American University of Beirut was quoted as saying by The Media Line, a regional news portal. He said the crackdown on Israeli espionage cells was largely due to a politically inspired contest between Military Intelligence, increasingly taken over by Hezbollah which controls the current Beirut government, and the intelligence branch of the Sunni-dominated Internal Security Forces. There seems little doubt that Hezbollah is using the seemingly endless flow of broken spy cells as anti-Israel propaganda to make political capital to burnish its nationalist credentials. The movement's many critics suggest this is intended to deflect the potential damage it faces over the indictment of four of its members, two of them senior security officials, for the 2005 assassination of Lebanese statesman Rafik Hariri in a massive bombing in Beirut. The indictments were handed down by the United Nations-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon, established to investigate the Hariri assassination and to put suspects on trial at a special court in The Hague. Hezbollah, which is also backed by Syria, denies having anything to do with the assassination of Hariri, a key pro-Western Sunni leader and five-time prime minister. It refuses to hand over the suspects and has threatened to "cut off the hands" of anyone who tries to apprehend them. Hezbollah, whose own intelligence apparatus is highly rated by its opponents, hasn't indicated how deeply Mossad may have penetrated its ranks. None of its members have been arrested for spying, although last June Hezbollah admitted it had apprehended three it said worked for the CIA or Israel at a "low level." Among the score of suspects who've been convicted of spying for Israel is former army Brig. Gen. Fayez Karam, a senior member of the Free Patriotic Movement, a Maronite Catholic party headed by former army commander Gen. Michel Aoun. Aoun is a vital political ally of Hezbollah and presumably has some degree of access to the secretive Shiite group's inner leadership. Many Christians consider him a traitor for his controversial alliance. Karam was commander of the army's counterespionage unit during the 1980s and has been close to Aoun for decades. Arrested in August 2010, he was the first prominent political figure to be held on espionage charges. Karam faced a possible death sentence but last September was sentenced to three years' hard labor by a military tribunal. This was later cut to two years amid widespread suspicions of a political fix. Six other suspects have been condemned to death.

ABNA 2/25/12 ================================================================ Iran identifies Mossad operative in Azerbaijan IRI intelligence officials have identified the operative of Mossad, Israel's spy agency, in republic of Azerbaijan, who has been involved in assassinating Iran’s nuclear scientists. (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Islamic Republic of Iran has called for the extradition of Mossad’s Iranian spy, identified as Ja’far Khoshzaban, alias Javidan, who has been working under the auspices of Azeri security forces. Deputy Head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Esmail Kowsari said on February 22 that they have obtained documents, which state Azeri officials have aided and abetted Mossad and CIA agents in their targeted killings of Iranian nuclear scientists, namely Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan. Ahmadi Roshan was targeted on January 11, when an unknown motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to his car near a college building of Allameh Tabatabaei University in northern Tehran. The legislator highlighted that Baku’s alliance with the Zionist regime and US spy networks against Tehran will harm Azerbaijan’s interests, calling on the Azeri government to keep foreign spies away from Iranian border. Iran's Foreign Ministry on February 12 summoned the Azeri ambassador to Tehran, Javanshir Akhundov, to object to Baku granting asylum to the Mossad-trained assassins of Iranian nuclear scientists. The Iranian Foreign Ministry also criticized the anti-Iran campaign on state-controlled Azeri news outlets and the degrading behavior of Azeri customs officials towards Iranian truck drivers. The Azerbaijani ambassador expressed regret over the events and said Tehran's message would be conveyed to Baku as soon as possible and that a response would be relayed to the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Last year, Majid Jamali Fashi, a Mossad agent who assassinated Iranian nuclear scientist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, confessed to having received forged documents in Azerbaijan’s Heydar Aliyev Airport to travel to Tel Aviv. Professor Ali-Mohammadi, a lecturer at Tehran University, was killed when an explosive-laden motorbike was detonated with a remote-controlled device near his home in northern Tehran in January 2010. Azerbaijan has reportedly granted asylum to the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) as well as the Party for Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK) terrorists. The London Times reported on February 11 that the Zionist regime is using Azerbaijan, a small Eurasian country which shares a border with Iran, as a base to spy on the Tehran government. ------------------------------v------------------- related link http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/americas/israeli-prime-minister-says-iran-will-be-focus-of-his-talks-with-north-american-leaders/2012/02/26/gIQAJASYbR_story.html --------------------------------------v--------------------------------------------- ========= geopolitically Good for Israel false flag attacks blamed on Iran and Syria has government change ============== ============================ Ex-Mossad chief sees opportunity in Syrian crisis By EDMUND SANDERS/LOS ANGELES TIMES/MCT 02/22/2012 03:10 Israel should focus on striking Iran politically and diplomatically – through the fall of Assad, Efraim Halevy tells 'Los Angeles Times.' By Ariel Jerozolimski Instability in Syria poses stark security risks for Israel, but also offers a chance to deliver a stinging blow to Iran’s regional ambitions and even its nuclear program, Israel’s former national security adviser Efraim Halevy says. Israel in recent weeks has been consumed by a debate over the wisdom of launching a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. But Halevy, who also led the Mossad spy agency from 1998 to 2002, believes Israel should also focus on exploiting the opportunity to strike Iran politically and diplomatically – through the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad, a staunch ally of Iran. Related: US hints at possibility of arming Syrian rebels Iran says UN nuclear talks will continue In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Halevy, now a leading Israeli intelligence analyst, said the country should start to look at Iran and Syria as two sides of the same problem. You have called Syria the Achilles’ heel of Iran. What do you mean? Iran has invested enormous efforts in trying to secure Syria as a major partner. The Alawite (Muslim) minority is very close to the Shi’ites in Iran. The Syrian army is mainly based on Alawite command and has units that are purely Alawite. This makes the Iranian investment all the more important. Syria is also the conduit for Iran’s arming of the Hezbollah Shi’ite forces in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. If the regime falls in Syria and the Iranians are expelled, this is going to be a horrendous defeat for Iran. How does Israel ensure that Iran is defeated in Syria? Wouldn’t it backfire if Israel were seen to be involved? Israel shouldn’t be directly involved for obvious reasons. Once Israel enters the fray, this becomes an Israeli-Arab or Israeli-Muslim confrontation, which deflects attention from the main issues of Sunni- Shi’ite, and the Shi’ite repression of a majority in a foreign country. Israel should promote through its channels with major powers in the world a dialogue between leaders in Western nations and Russia to try to forge a common policy on Syria, which would entail mutual concessions at the American and Russian level. Recently Israel has been very focused on Iran’s nuclear program and the debate over a strike. It is doing enough on Syria? I don’t have any evidence that Israel is working on this, but I hope some work is being done. Israel has certain interests in Syria which have to be taken into account. The ultimate resolution of this crisis should not leave an Iranian presence in Syria with a weakened Assad. I don’t want to see Iran having its own finger on the button of Syria’s strategic weapons. Israel must make sure this does not happen. You’ve said that a defeat in Syria would deal a blow to Iran’s nuclear program. Why? The issue of Syria and of Iran’s nuclear capability are interconnected. You cannot divorce them. Iran’s effort to achieve nuclear capability and its effort to entrench itself in Syria are part of the same multifaceted regional problem. One of the mistakes we’ve made up to this point is to deal with these issues separately. Not that long ago, many in Israel were quietly hoping Assad’s regime would survive because he’s predictable in his relations with Israel and is the “devil you know.” With reports that al-Qaida-linked terrorists might be seeking a stronghold in Syria, do you worry that Assad might be replaced with an extremist Sunni regime that is even more hostile toward Israel? I don’t think this is in the cards. The way things are at present, any replacement of Assad is better. Even an extremist Sunni regime? The Sunnis have been oppressed by the Alawites. They are looking for freedom and dignity and all the things of the “Arab Spring.” They won’t come to power in order to launch an effort against Israel. Their immediate concerns would be to stabilize the situation inside Syria and move as quickly as possible to alleviate the pressure on the society. There have been a lot of fears that Assad might try to move Syria’s arsenal of chemical weapons and sophisticated missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Though everyone is talking about a military strike against Iran, what are the chances of such an Israeli strike in Syria to prevent weapons from falling into the wrong hands? I don’t want to preempt Israeli operations or planning. All I can say is that there are certain things, if carried out in Syria or Lebanon, that would be matters of grave concern to Israel, and Israel would not be able to accept.

Evacuate Tokyo and All US Forces From Japan Tokyo Radiation Level 25 Times the Fukushima Mandatory Evacuation Zone … by Bob Nichols (San Francisco) Widely known Physicist Dr Paolo Scampa, the publisher of the EU AIPRI Blog and an eminent chemical physicist, announced today his latest calculations of deadly radioactivity in Tokyo itself. Both the nuclear regulatory and media responses have been missing in action. However, the outrageous statement of a Japanese politician pretty well sums up the level of understanding of the parasitic political class “Smile, and the radiation won’t hurt you.” The Tokyo suburbs are about 100 miles or 160 km South of the six destroyed, deteriorating and badly leaking nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Station for Nuclear Reactors. Dr Scampa stated: “An absorbed dose of 2,94 microSievert/hour at 1 meter of soil means an average deposit of 9,065E5 Bq/m2 of Cs137 -0,661 MeV-. This amount for 1 meter is in fact situated between a maximum deposit of 5,439E6 Bq/m2 for low energy gamma rays from radioactive elements such as U238 (0,0495 MeV) and a minimum deposit of 2,176E5 Bq/m2 of very energetic gamma rays from radioactive elements such as Co60 (2,55 MeV). This dose corresponds to 25 times the maximum permissible “artificial” hour dose (0,114 microSievert/h-1) and 5 times the maximum permissible total – natural and artificial – hour dose (0,571 microSievert/h-1). [1]” Dr. Scampa. [End Quote] This is a tragedy of huge proportions. There are 30 Plus Million People in Greater Tokyo. It is brought home personally to each person who sees the work of Fukushima Diary by Mochizuki. There are thousands of US troops stationed with their families in Japan. American politicians must remove all US Troops and dependents from Japan immediately. This must happen forthwith. We will remember.

The three false flag bombing are part of one larger operation. (please dont miss GLOBAL RESEARCH dossier on Syria link below) ==================================== PART ONE OF TWO =============================================================== from Firstpost World The best way to defang Iran is by regime change in Syria By Yogi Aggarwal Israeli belligerence and aggressive designs on Iran may hurtle the world into a deeper crisis than the one brought about by the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. Israel has indicated that it might bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities in a risky attack by 100 fighter aircraft. They would have to fly over 2,000 miles in a “huge and highly complex operation” through hostile countries such as Syria, Iraq and Iran, refuelling in mid-air to bomb what it allegedly calls a nuclear weapons programme that is almost ready. Even western powers such as the US, Britain and France, which are not exactly friendly to Iran, have been alarmed at the dangerous consequences of an Israeli attack on Iran. It would trigger a regional conflagration with uncontrollable global consequences, the closure of the Straits of Hormuz through which one-fourth of the world’s oil supplies pass, a global economic crisis and possible terrorist strikes against Western cities. The Guardian believes that an attack on Iran would be an act of criminal stupidity. In a recent article, it argues: “The same discredited arguments used to justify the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan – from weapons of mass destruction to sponsorship of terrorism and fundamentalist fanatics – are now being used to make the case for an attack on Iran.” Though the neo-cons in US and elsewhere back the dangerous Israeli adventure, others in the defence establishment are more cautious. While US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta let it be known that Israel could attack Iran later this year between April and June, he also told a CBS TV programme ‘Face the Nation’ last month, “Are they trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No. But we know that they’re trying to develop a nuclear capability. And that’s what concerns us.” Meanwhile, Israeli agents, probably with the help of the US, have carried out covert assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, physical sabotage of Iranian nuclear facilities, and cyber warfare against Iranian centrifuges in the form of the Stuxnet virus. There is a huge difference between nuclear capability and an almost-ready nuclear weapons arsenal. Israel has had nuclear weapons for decades, enough to blow the oil-rich Gulf back to the stone age. Iran is trying to build a capability linked to its civilian programmes. Such a capability would not be a threat to Israel but would blunt its strategic edge. It would limit the US’ “freedom of action” in the Middle East as unchallenged hegemony. Such freedom of action is apparently the prerogative of the US and its allies (read Israel) and not of other independent states. Iran’s nuclear status may be likened to “keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons” rather than putting together a bomb and attaching it to a missile. It’s a long road from one to the other. The Iranian capabilities are best explained in a paper ‘Crying wolf about an Iranian nuclear bomb” in the January 2012 issue of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, the most prestigious forum for nuclear risks and disarmament. It reveals, “Top policymakers in the United States and Israel have heightened the crisis not just by their belligerent rhetoric and aggressive covert actions, but also by endorsing highly generous assessments of Iranian nuclear technical capacities, which make it seem as if the birth of an Iranian nuclear bomb is just around the corner.” It continues, “Even though Iran’s claims that it is open and honest with international nuclear inspectors are unbelievable, that does not mean it is hiding a sophisticated weapons program. In fact, the record shows that Iran’s distinct tendency is to exaggerate its nuclear accomplishments … Indeed, in recent years its number of working gas centrifuges has actually been declining …is it really reasonable to expect such low-quality, brittle technical infrastructure to create a single, Hiroshima-size nuclear device — let alone a bona fide nuclear weapons arsenal?” Other strategic analysts are equally skeptical. The British security journal RUSI, bought out by Royal United Services Institute, in an analysis last month said: “The peaceful applications of nuclear energy include steps that can greatly shorten the lead time toward acquiring nuclear weapons. In Iran’s case, the research reactor at Tehran (supplied by the United States during the Shah’s reign) does require 20 percent enriched uranium to function — but that is exactly the sort that can easily be enriched to weapons-grade.” If Iran is not just months away from a nuclear weapons capability, what is all the bluster and bluff about bombing Iran and closing the Hormuz Strait all about? Such sabre rattling, and the sanctions that are inevitable, could be the start of a process of ‘regime change’. It’s not that Iran under the ayatollahs is much better than under the Shah, or that the ‘revolutionary guards’, one of the major props of the regime, are not corrupt and vicious. It’s just that Iran sits on one of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world that have been closed to the western oil companies since 1978. Sanctions in the past have hurt Iran (and Indian companies such as ONGC drilling in offshore Iranian waters) but the fresh sanctions could get worse. With unemployment running at a record high, and the memory of the rigged presidential elections in 2009 still fresh in people’s minds, discord is growing and could be aggravated by fresh sanctions. Sanctions are double edged. While they could bring down the present regime, they could also shore up its internal support by an appeal to national interests. It’s easier to hit Iran by regime change in Syria, which has lived for 40 years under Ba’ath Party rule. The movement for change as part of the ‘Arab spring’ has yet to overthrow the authoritarian regime. As an important supporter of Iran in the Arab world, regime change in Syria would seriously weaken it and strengthen Israel. This would be a more acceptable part of aggressive diplomacy, than the risky brinkmanship being suggested by Israel and the neo-cons in the US. ===============vvvv=================================== PART TWO OF TWO ===============vvvv=================================== Turkish Secret Agents Trained by the Mossad Captured in Syria By Global Research News Global Research, February 22, 2012 According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, "40 Turkish intelligence officers were captured by the Syrian army. " Turkey has been conducting intensive negotiations with Syria in order to secure their freedom [...] (Zvi Bar'el and DPA, Report: U.S. drones flying over Syria to monitor crackdown, Haaretz, 18 February, 2012) Haaretz notes that their release would depend on the extradition of Syrian defectors now living in Turkey. Syria is also willing to continue negotiating only if Turkey prevents “weapon transfers and passage of soldiers from the rebels' Free Syria Army through its territory”. Turkish sources told the Israeli newspaper that Turkey would reject the Syrian demands and was about to strengthen its position on Syria. The Turkish officers allegedly confessed to the Syrian authorities that they were trained by the Israeli Mossad and were instructed “to carry out bombings to undermine the country's security.” (Ibid.) One officer purportedly admitted that the “Mossad also trains soldiers from the Free Syria Army” as well as al-Qaeda officials on Jordanian soil with a view to send them to Syria to conduct attacks. These testimonies corroborate information, including from Israeli intelligence sources, indicating the implication of the Mossad in the Syrian insurrection. Several reports also mention the involvement of the CIA and the British MI6, as well as European and American special forces. The Turkish authorities denied the Israeli report. ===================================================================================================== For more on this topic visit the Global Research dossier on Syria. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=newsHighlights&newsId=55 Julie Lévesque contributed to this report. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ooooooooooo+++++++++++++++++++ FALSE FLAGS WEAKEN IRAN...the bigger picture is changing the government of IRAN.

Amid the din of accusation and denial, amplified by camp-followers of both parties, puzzled independent observers have managed to concur on only two aspects of the still unexplained events. First, the incidents in India and Georgia on February 13, and in Thailand the following day, were almost certainly linked in a coordinated plot intended to assassinate Israeli diplomats using "sticky bombs" attached to vehicles by magnets. The fact that the same method was used successfully against Iranian nuclear scientists assassinated in Iran in attacks believed carried by Israeli agents clearly implied an operation intended to be seen as tit-for-tat retaliation. Second, the operations in all three cities were marked by a startling lack of professionalism. In Bangkok, incompetence veered into a bloody comedy of errors that in any work of spy fiction would have been dismissed as ludicrous. Now celebrated highlights include a premature explosion in a rented house; panicked flight by the apparent bomb makers; bungled bomb attacks on a taxi and a police car that cost one Iranian both of his own legs; and arrests of two accomplices at Bangkok’s international Suvannabhumi airport and in Malaysia. The Valentine's Day fiasco was followed by the discovery of stickers bearing the Koranic term "SEJEAL" plastered along a 1.5 kilometer stretch of road in central Bangkok as well as in a house rented by one of the apparent Iranian bomb making team. Another was discovered on a motorcycle believed to be intended for use in one or more attacks. While Thai police initially speculated the stickers marked out a getaway route, security analysts who spoke to Asia Times Online are skeptical they had any operational relevance, suggesting instead some religiously auspicious significance. While less farcical, the operations in Georgia and India were also marked by remarkable mistakes. In Tbilisi, the would-be assassin attached an explosive device - later found and disarmed - not to a diplomatic vehicle but to the car of the Israeli ambassador's Georgian driver. The choice appeared to indicate either a failure of reconnaissance or a last-minute need to settle for a secondary, related target rather than a primary one. In New Delhi, an Israeli diplomat's wife was actually wounded by a magnetic bomb and the would-be assassin was able to escape. However, he reportedly attached the device to the rear of the vehicle near a tail light rather to its side, significantly lessening the chance of killing his target. With the Iranian government now seen as the most likely suspect behind the bombings - and in many quarters already declared guilty - it is worth fitting these events into the context of what is known about Iranian external intelligence operations. Viewed through this lens, the recent incidents are puzzling in several regards. Iran is certainly no stranger to foreign assassinations. Indeed, since shortly after the Islamic revolution of 1979, Tehran has been deeply implicated in directing and conducting both assassinations and larger mass-casualty terrorist attacks in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. Its primary targets have been Iranian dissidents based in Europe perceived as threats to the revolutionary regime. Both in terms of intelligence gathering and "direct action", external operations are the responsibility of two organizations understood to work either independently or, occasionally, in conjunction. The primary body is the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security (Vezarat e Etela'at va Amnita e Keshvar, or VEVAK); the other, the elite Qods Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the branch of the armed forces that answers directly to Iran's senior most clerical leadership. Established in 1984, VEVAK is responsible for both internal and external security matters. According to Israeli sources, notably investigative journalist Ronen Bergman, the ministry's external operations are undertaken by its Department 15 which fields operatives working under diplomatic cover in Iranian embassies abroad. But VEVAK has also been known to use other state organizations to provide cover, including Iran Air, Iranian Shipping Lines and the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). By contrast, the Qods force fulfills an essentially military and para-military mission and has been responsible for providing instruction and support to pro-Iranian guerilla and terrorist groups in countries such as Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, the Palestinian territories and Sudan. Such training is conducted both in facilities inside Iran and abroad: Qods Force personnel have had a long and well-documented presence in Lebanon as well as in Iraq during the US occupation. Official assassinations European police and judicial investigations dating from the 1980s and 1990s - the heyday of the Islamic Republic's overseas assassination campaign - indicate that Tehran's direct action operations abroad have often been undertaken by Iranian nationals usually working for VEVAK out of embassies or other organizations providing cover, including private businesses During the wave of nearly 200 assassinations of dissident exiles, Iranian "diplomats" were expelled from several countries including Germany, Norway and Turkey. In 1997, Iranian Intelligence and Security Minister Ali Fallahian was himself the subject of an arrest warrant issued by German prosecutors after protracted investigations into the gunning down of three Iranian Kurdish exiles in Berlin in September 1992. Those arrested and found guilty of the killings were VEVAK operatives whose orders were traced back to Fallahian's desk. Iran's extensive network of Middle Eastern allies has also permitted the use of proxies for deniable "direct action". Some such operations involved mass-casualty attacks such as the bombing of the Jewish Center in Buenos Aires in July 1994 which killed 85, wounded several hundred and which was formally linked by Argentinean prosecutors to Latin American-based elements of Lebanese Hezbollah directed from Tehran. Others have been individual assassinations such as the March 1992 killing of Ehud Sadan, a Israeli security officer at Israel's embassy in Ankara, Turkey, who died when a bomb detonated under his car. The assassination came days after the Israeli killing of Sheikh Abbas Moussavi, secretary general of Lebanese Hezbollah and was later traced to Iranian-trained Farhan Osman, an operative of Turkish Hezbollah, a notably lethal branch of Iran's external network. Osman was arrested by Turkish authorities in 2000 and admitted at his trial to carrying out attacks on orders from Tehran. Against this backdrop, it is puzzling that a state with decades of experience in conducting overseas operations and with access to an extensive network of proxy operatives would find itself abruptly reduced to deploying a team of its own nationals with little evident training or field support given to adorning Bangkok's busy streets with bumper stickers in advance of an attack. Another puzzling aspect of the Iranian state responsibility alleged by Israel centers on the decision to conduct a coordinated operation more or less simultaneously in three foreign countries. Details of both Iranian and Israeli assassination operations which have emerged in recent years indicate clearly that achieving a successful outcome in a single operation is complex enough and requires careful planning, reconnaissance and execution by skilled operatives with plans for unforeseen contingencies. Not least would be the need for back-up travel documents and possibly an alternative safe-house. Even then success is anything but guaranteed. The bungled attempt by operatives of Israel's external intelligence agency, the Mossad, to kill Khaled Mashal, a senior figure in Palestinian Hamas, in Amman, Jordan in September 1997 illustrates the risks of even meticulously planned operations. After administering a poisoned spray to their intended victim, the two Israeli assassins - posing as Canadian tourists - abandoned a get-away car in traffic and were pursued and arrested. Humiliatingly, Israel was obliged to provide Jordanian authorities with an antidote to the poison that saved Mashal's life. By the same token, a near-simultaneous assassination operation by a single intelligence service against three hard targets in three different countries is almost certainly unprecedented in recent decades. Even assuming a political need for multiple strikes, such a scatter-gun approach is bound to stretch resources in terms of planning and execution and sharply raises the chances of failure (as in Tbilisi) and disastrous blow-back (as in Bangkok). In short, if the Iranian government was indeed responsible for the recent attacks, it would have been almost setting itself up for a fall in two countries (India and Thailand) with which it shares valuable diplomatic and trade relations and at a time when it has a vital interest in not providing Israel with a pretext for war. There is arguably only one explanation that might bridge the yawning disconnect between events as they unfolded and Tehran's known capabilities and operational record, and its wider strategic interests. That is that the Islamic Republic's senior most leadership perceived an overriding political need to display resolve in retaliating swiftly for the killing of its nuclear scientists - and ordered action in willful disregard of the operational risks involved. Explosive motivations Beyond Iran, however, other possible perpetrators of the attacks have been suggested. The favorite of Internet conspiracy-theorists and Iranian officials is - predictably enough - Israel itself. According to this interpretation of events, Israel organized a "false flag" operation using Iranian nationals to further isolate Iran and increase international support for an attack against Tehran should a decision be made in favor of a military option to check its nuclear program. While colorful, this theory does not stand up to rational analysis. It implies that Israel, a state which goes to extraordinary lengths to protect and defend its citizens, would be willing to target its own diplomats in the pursuit of its wider campaign against Iran. A second theory centers on the possibility of elements within Iran's security and intelligence establishment acting without sanction - and thus without access to trained personnel and operational support - in outsourcing an operation to non-official or semi-official contractors. In a February 15 commentary for CNN, Thailand-based security consultant Paul Quaglia, himself a former intelligence official, posited "outsourcing" as a possible explanation for the amateur nature of the events in Bangkok. The possibility of impatient "hawks" circumventing reluctance at higher levels of the state to retaliate for the assassinations of Iranian scientists cannot be simply dismissed. Iran's intelligence establishment is far from monolithic and almost certainly factionalized. Indeed, in a celebrated case in the late 1990s, a rogue group in VEVAK was held responsible by Iranian prosecutors for the murders inside Iran of three dissident writers, a political leader and his wife. Nevertheless, the sheer level of organization and number of personnel required for simultaneous attacks in three foreign countries are hardly consistent with a rogue operation. Furthermore, such an operation would carry a high risk of being traced back to those responsible with potentially severe consequences. A third alternative that merits close attention centers on the Iranian domestic opposition, grouped loosely around the People's Mujahideen Organization of Iran or Mujahideen e Khalq (MeK). An Islamic-socialist group founded in 1965 in opposition to the then US-backed shah regime, MeK began an urban guerrilla campaign in the early 1970s and later took part in the Islamic revolution of 1979. Subsequently, however, MeK broke violently with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's clerical regime and for years operated out of Saddam Hussein's Iraq as an Iraqi-backed conventional military force on the border as well as an underground terrorist network within Iran. MeK has been declared a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the US government. Following the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, MeK's military units were disbanded by the Americans but the organization has continued to operate clandestinely inside Iran while conducting a public relations campaign from Europe. Its network in Iran is generally believed to have provided the US and Israel with intelligence - notably on Iran's nuclear program - as well as with assets for the covert destabilization of the Islamic regime. At various levels, there are grounds which might support the theory of an independent MeK operation in Bangkok, New Delhi and Tbilisi. Strategically, the organization has ample motive. The successful assassination of Israeli diplomats would at the least serve to further isolate the Iranian government at a critical juncture. At most, it might provide the impetus to push Israel into an attack on Iran that would destabilize or even topple the regime - a result MeK has no chance of achieving itself. The attempted assassination of Israel's ambassador to London, Argov Shlomo, by Palestinian terrorists on June 3, 1982, provides solid historical precedent for such a calculation. The attack, which critically wounded Shlomo (without killing him), provided a convenient justification for the Israeli invasion of Lebanon three days later and the routing of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) forces based there. Operationally, the hand of MeK or allied opposition elements also provides an explanation for the otherwise puzzling blunders displayed in mid-February. It can be safely assumed that a small number of Iranian opposition elements has been recruited, trained and deployed by Israeli and/or US intelligence services in the covert war against Iran's nuclear program. However, MeK remains a larger - and largely uncharted - group without access to specialized training. It is also worth noting that for an opposition group to commit poorly-trained and supported personnel openly using Iranian travel documents would pose no real risk of blow-back: In the event of failure or fiasco, the simple fact that the operatives were Iranian would serve well enough to implicate the Tehran regime in the eyes of an already skeptical world. The extent to which the truth behind recent events emerges will depend importantly on investigations currently conducted by the Thai police, who already hold two members of the Iranian team and may soon have access to a third detained in Malaysia. The willingness of the Islamic Republic to provide proactive assistance in the investigation will also serve as an important reflection of its interest in rebutting Israel's accusations. Two suspected members of the Bangkok-based bomb-making team, Leila Rohani and Ali Akbar Norouzi, are both back in Iran with their photos and return flight details already made public by the Thai police. It remains to be seen, however, how aggressively the Thai authorities - perennially reluctant to be dragged into the maelstrom of Middle Eastern conflict - will choose to pursue the investigations or request assistance from Tehran. In the final analysis, Thailand has little to gain and possibly much to lose from establishing publicly and with certainty either the innocence or guilt of the Iranian government. Indeed, the best pointer to the affair's likely outcome is the fate of Atris Hussein, the Lebanese-Swedish businessman with suspected links to Iran-allied Lebanese Hezbollah, whose January arrest was followed by the seizure of four tons of explosives he and his associates had amassed in a warehouse on the edge of Bangkok. Hussein is to be charged with possession of restricted substances and may serve a few years in a Thai jail in a case that will soon be quietly forgotten.
