The United States government has been provided with
concrete evidence that the Israeli Mossad and other Israeli intelligence
services have been involved in a 13-month effort to "recruit" an
Israeli-run, phony "al-Qaeda cell" among Palestinians, so that Israel
could achieve a frontline position in the U.S. war against terrorism and
get a green light for a worldwide "revenge without borders" policy. The
question: Does the United States have the moral fiber to investigate?
Evidence of the Israeli dirty tricks burst onto the public scene on Dec.
6, when Col. Rashid Abu Shbak, head of the Palestinian Preventive Security
Services in the Gaza Strip, held a press conference revealing the details
of the alleged plot, as his agency had put the pieces together. The
revelations undermine the "big lie" that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has
used to justify new brutal attacks on Palestinian civilians in the Gaza
Strip and other occupied areas. Sharon claimed on Dec. 4 that Israeli
intelligence had "hard evidence" of al-Qaeda operations in the Gaza Strip.
Now, the top Palestinian leadership has shown the United States and other
nations how Israeli intelligence entities were creating that al-Qaeda
link!
American leader Lyndon LaRouche, a Democratic Presidential pre-candidate
in 2004, commented that these revelations, if confirmed, could be "of
strategic importance" in stopping the American, British, and Israeli
warhawks pushing for a Middle East war, beginning with an invasion of
Iraq. A war would justify the Sharon government's plan to annihilate the
very idea of a Palestinian state. LaRouche warned that if institutions of
the American Presidency and the international community successfully block
an American pre-emptive war on Iraq, the biggest danger would be that a
"mega-terror" attack, blamed on Palestinians, or an "Iraqi-linked"
al-Qaeda, would be staged by Israel's ruling Jabotinskyite fanatics, to
put the war back on the agenda.
News about the Mossad-run attempt to create an al-Qaeda cell came when
well-informed intelligence sources based in Washington had already told
EIR that there are many doubts about the Mossad's hasty declaration that
"al-Qaeda" had been responsible for the Nov. 28 attack on a hotel in
Mombasa, Kenya, where three Israelis were killed, and the failed rocket
attack on an Israeli chartered jet that was departing from Mombasa
airport. There was no identification of the bombers within the first five
days of the incident, the sources pointed out, yet Sharon's government
ministers went on an immediate propaganda rampage announcing worldwide
revenge (see article in this section). Authorities in Kenya also denied
the al-Qaeda link. But the usefulness of blaming al-Qaeda, for the Israeli
right, was palpable, when Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the
Kenya attacks "a golden opportunity" to prove to the United States that
Bush's war on terrorism, and Israel's war with the Palestinians is the
same thing. Netanyahu's faction has violently rejected the Palestinian
Authority's revelations, and so far, the American and European press have
followed suit, despite the dramatic nature of these charges, and the
documents that the Palestinians have provided to the international press.
Chronology of the Revelations On Dec. 7, the British news service,
Reuters, the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, and Qatar-based Al-Jazeera TV
network, all reported that the Palestinian Authority had accused the
Mossad of creating a phony al-Qaeda cell in the Gaza Strip. Ha'aretz
reported, "the head of Palestinian Preventive Security" in the Gaza Strip,
Col. Rashid Abu Shbak, said on Dec. 6, "that his forces had identified a
number of Palestinian collaborators who had been ordered by Israeli
security agencies to 'work in the Gaza Strip under the name of al-Qaeda.'
He said the investigation was ongoing and evidence would be presented
soon." Al-Jazeera TV added that the Palestinian authorities had arrested a
group of Palestinian "collaborators with Israeli occupation" in Gaza,
involved in the operation.
Reuters' reporter Diala Saadeh, under the headline, "Palestinians: Israel
Faked Gaza al-Qaeda Presence," quoted a number of Palestinian Authority
(P.A.) senior officials, including President Yasser Arafat, who told
reporters at his West Bank Ramallah headquarters, that Sharon's claims of
al-Qaeda operations in Palestinian territories "is a big, big, big lie to
cover [Sharon's] attacks and his crimes against our people everywhere."
P.A. Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo detailed the case: "There are
certain elements who were instructed by the Mossad to form a cell under
the name of al-Qaeda in the Gaza Strip in order to justify the assault and
the military campaigns of the Israeli occupation army against Gaza."
Palestinian officials promised to provide detailed evidence, and did so on
Dec. 8, in a press conference addressed by Colonel Shbak, and by
Palestinian Minister for Planning and International Cooperation Nabil
Shaath. Shbak told the international representatives that, "Over the past
nine months, we've been investigating eight cases in which Israeli
intelligence posing as al-Qaeda operatives recruited Palestinians in the
Gaza Strip." Colonel Shbak said that 3 men were under arrest, and 11 had
been released. He explained that those released had voluntarily provided
information going back to May 2002, about the contacts that had been made
asking them to operate as an "al-Qaeda" group. The alleged al-Qaeda
recruiters were traced to Israeli intelligence, said Colonel Shbak. He
detailed incidents, some of which were described in official documents, of
cell phone calls and e-mails, where Palestinians were asked to "join
al-Qaeda." Shbak said, "We investigated the origin of those calls, which
used [wireless phone] roaming, and messages, and found out they all came
from Israel," reported the publication, IslamOnline. He said that the
potential "recruits," had been given money and weapons, "although most of
these weapons did not even work." He also noted that the money for these
targetted Palestinians "was transferred from bank accounts in Jerusalem or
Israel."
Minister Shaath announced at the press conference that the P.A. had
"handed ambassadors and consuls of the Arab and foreign countries,
documents revealing the involvement of the Israeli intelligence in
recruiting citizens from Gaza Strip in a fake organization carrying the
name of Qaeda." He said the ploy was intended "to create a new excuse to
escalate the aggression on Gaza Strip."
The international community was jolted again on Dec. 10, when Colonel
Shbak held another press conference and the Preventive Security Agency
presented the Mossad's potential recruiter himself to the international
media. According to reports in the Arabic press in Dubai, London and
Ramallah, the man appeared in disguise (for security reasons,) and was
identified only as "Ibrahim," but explained in great detail that he was
one of the "key recruiters" for the potential cell. He said the story
started in October 2001, when, after he sent his photo and mobile phone
number to a "contact page" in a Jerusalem magazine, he was contacted by a
person calling himself "Youssef," and nicknamed "Abu Othman." After
building up a personal relationship with "Ibrahim," and telling him how
much he resembled his own son, who had been killed, Youssef sent him
$2,000, and began encouraging the Gaza man-who appeared to be in his early
20s-to become a more observant and practicing Muslim.
In May 2002, five months after the initial contact, said Ibrahim, Youssef
"told me frankly, 'you are a good candidate to work for us in the company
of Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda group.' " This Youssef also claimed to
have already created an al-Qaeda cell inside Israel. Ibrahim said that he
then approached the Palestinian security services and told them about the
transactions with Youssef, and that the security services asked him to
continue the communications, which they would monitor. He said that the
specific instructions were that Ibrahim was to announce through a
communiqué-directly from Gaza-that al-Qaeda claimed credit for a bombing
attack, or attacks, that Youssef indicated his network was about to carry
out in Israel. Ibrahim stressed that the man also said that he (the Mossad
officer) "had the capability to carry out major bombing operations inside
Israel, but that the al-Qaeda group in Gaza should claim responsibility
for the attack and no other group." In an interview with the London-based
Arabic daily Al-Hayat, after the press conference, Ibrahim stated, that
"the man told him that mega military operations will be conducted inside
Israel, and that these operations would be announced through Ibrahim."
This would mean that as soon as he gets the signal after a major terrorist
act against Israeli civilian targets, Ibrahim and his group would send a
communiqué to the press or a videotape, similar to the ones sent by bin
Laden to Al-Jazeera, claiming responsibility for the attack.
Ibrahim was also asked to gather specific information for Youssef about a
number of persons in Gaza, some of them known to be members of Hamas. When
asked why he wanted this information, Youssef said, "I want them to join
al-Qaeda." At that point, Palestinian security services cut off the "Ibrahim-Youssef"
contact, because it was becoming too dangerous.
At the same press conference, Colonel Shbak said direct money payments
"transferred from Israel," had been received by five out of the eight
Palestinians who have been giving information to the Preventive Security
Agency about this operation. Shbak also explained that his agency traced
and obtained a number of telephone numbers, registrations, and bank
receipts for money transferred to some of those persons.
Now, said Shbak, the United States and a number of international
intelligence and security organs had been supplied with documents and
evidence refuting the Israeli allegations about Palestinian connections to
al-Qaeda. "These documents prove without any doubt that the ones who are
behind this alleged al-Qaeda group are the various Israeli intelligence
organizations," Shbak added. He told Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah daily that the
"Americans have not responded yet to the documents ... as provided by the
Palestinian Preventive Security agency."
The 9/11 Cover Story The question is whether the U.S. government and other
governments will take up the evidence given to them. It is well
established that several top Cabinet officials in the current Sharon
caretaker government, including Sharon himself, have a long, jaded history
of staging precisely these kinds of "countergang" operations, using
Israeli covert operatives and Arabs tortured and brainwashed in Israeli
jails and recruited as false-flag terrorists. Sharon, Mossad chief Moshe
Dagan, and Gen. Effie Eitam are proponents of such dirty-war tactics. As
EIR reported in several extensive articles on the Hamas organization, that
terrorist capability was actually created by Ariel Sharon and the Israeli
right wing, for the purpose of supplanting Yasser Arafat and the
organizations of the Palestine Liberation Organization (see EIR, Dec. 6).
Even more to the point, the Osama bin Laden authorship of the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks has been a cover story from the first moments the media
began reporting it as fact. Interviewed on the morning of Sept. 11 as the
attacks were unfolding, LaRouche made clear that the breadth and
sophistication of these attacks showed that it was "an inside job,"
involving U.S. military and intelligence operatives capable of defeating
or neutralizing all existing and backup security systems. Bin Laden was
named as the culprit, explains LaRouche, because his name provided entry
into the policy of a Clash of Civilizations against Islam, which
right-wing neo-conservatives in the Bush Administration have as their
goal. LaRouche has also pointedly asked when Osama bin Laden stopped being
an American agent-a reality that the "Islamic card" networks of Zbigniew
Brzezinski and the Iran-Contra financiers of the Afghansi mujahideen, want
to bury. It must also be asked, when did al-Qaeda stop working for British
intelligence? EIR has documented that British foreign intelligence, MI6,
worked closely with so-called Islamist terrorist groups safe-housed in
Britain, to destabilize Arab and Muslim nations, in the geopolitical
service of Her Majesty's government, and an Anglo-American imperial
faction.
As recently as November, this coverup of British/U.S. covert support for
terrorism continued, with the case of David Shayler, a former MI5 agent
who was sentenced to six months in jail for disclosing "government secret
information." Shayler told London Guardian reporter Martin Bright that MI6
hired one of Osama bin Laden's closest collaborators-Anas al-Liby, who
remains on the U.S. government's Most Wanted List, with a reward of $25
million for his capture-to assassinate Libya's Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi in
1996. Bright, who could not publish the article in the Guardian, but did
so in the Pakistani daily, The Dawn, on Oct. 30, received a gag order from
the British Attorney General, threatening him with prison, if he publishes
any more information from Shayler.
With this background in mind, the public revelations about the Mossad
attempts to set up al-Qaeda cells, could have strategic consequences for
the discredited Sharon government-and even more broadly for the Clash of
Civilizations zealots covering up the truth about Sept. 11. The
Palestinian revelations could become the "straw that broke the camel's
back," in this dirty war.
The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, credit card issues, credit repair problems and
foreclosure. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control
government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel
Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years
ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
