Guerrillas attack Mossad office in Iraq

[DuctapeFatwa]

A huge blast has caused extensive damage in a Mossad office building in Kirkouk in northern Iraq late on Monday killing and wounding an unspecified number of Mossad agents and civilian Kurds, the Middle East News Agency said yesterday.

US troops and rescue workers were rushed into the devastated building to remove the bodies and take the wounded to a hospital in Mousel, MENA said.

The workers have arrived at the site during the night to remove the debris and evacuate the injured persons, the news agency added.
The US troops prevented the people from getting closer to the building and imposed a news black out on the cause of the explosion..

1. OMG this Iraq thing is becoming an NIGHTMARE!

[Greyskye]

2. "Becoming"?

It's been one for a long time from my perspective. :(

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. WTF is MOSSAD

doing with an office in Iraq?

In the meantime, the citizens of the US seem to be living in the twilight zone. So few people even seem to notice that Armagedon has begun.

[MidwestTransplant]

5. Better yet,

How in the hell would they know where a Mossad office was.

[0007]

23. spy vs spy!!

Ya think Israel is the only one that knows anything?

[Resistance]

49. notice

how the U.S. quickly imposed a news blackout on the event.

[Blitz]

50. What event?

Where is there any objective evidence that it ever happened at all (much less that Mossad was involved) and was not simply a fabrication by some fringe Egyptian "news" source?




Re: your sig:

Rachel Corrie: hatemonger.

[wellst0nev0ter]

51. Good Thing She'll No Longer Monger Any More Hate

right? :eyes:

[Blitz]

52. Well, as I've said in the past

It's too bad that she died the way that she did. Terrorists and their supporters have been very successful in using her as a propoganda tool. I think that it is safe to say that she has done far more in support of terrorism and terrorist fanatics in death than she could ever have hoped to do in life.

On the other hand, you make a valid point. She won't personally spread hatred among Palestinian children the way she did when she was alive. It's a small comfort, but there it is.

[BlackFrancis]

53. I hope no one runs you over with a bulldozer

Further if God forbid that does happen, I really, really, hope the driver of the bulldozer doesn't just drive off without even trying to help after such a horrible "accident" even if your nasty lies and smears teach hate to people.

[Blitz]

54. Funny thing is

No one ran her over with a bulldozer. Well, not funny, perhaps, but it is a fact. Rachel Corrie was not run over with a bulldozer, thousands of protest signs, bumper stickers, posters, etc. to the contrary notwithstanding.

But I appreciate your good wishes and, just in case, avoid telling nasty lies and smears so that the issue will never come up.

On edit: People who continue to believe that the various Corrie myths are often the same people who insist on believing in the "Jenin Holocaust" and the idea that, somewhere in Iraq, there is an office rental agreement signed MOSSAD.

[T Bone]

57. Is it being reported on Debka ?

:shrug:

Debka is mossad.

[Nlighten1]

10. I was thinking the same thing.

Should I be suprised that Mossad is in Iraq? No...the white van made me a believer.

[yella_dawg]

11. That was my first question.

A freakin' field office in an Arab nation, particularly one whos politics are so murky??

[truth2power]

48. Me too.

I figured if I asked what Mossad was doing in Iraq, you all would think I was really stupid.

[MaineDem]

15. My sentiments exactly!

Holy shit.

[loudnclear]

17. Mossad, al-qaeda...both in Northern Iraq....hmmmmmm

Don't you remember that the US and Israel had special forces in Iraq even before 9/11. No doubt they were setting the stage for an Iraqi invasion even without 9/11.

Also, remember that Bush was using Israeli intelligence prior to the invasion to try to link al-qaeda to Saddam...eventhough the reports indicated that the al-qaeda present in Iraq were in the northern part of Iraq which is controlled by the Kurds. Still, this bit of info was phoopooed. The pieces will be coming together more and more as the insurgents upset the Bushco apple cart by stepping up their resistence.

[hang a left]

4. I mean come on, we know Mossad are there, but did they

have to set up there own office. Did they put a sign on the building too? Seems like Iraqi intelligence, is alot better than ours. The Iraqis, if this story is to be believed and is not propoganda, are getting some big time assistance. Russia?

[htuttle]

9. There are a few things the Iraqi military was/is quite good at

Intelligence was one of them.

Read this article that I posted in LBN last week:

Army Study: Iraqi Intel Top-Notch
Study sheds light on resistance

Washington -- In a conclusion that bodes ill for U.S. troops, an Army study asserts that the Iraqi military, though inept in the battlefield during the conventional phase of the war, excelled in intelligence, shadowing virtually every movement of coalition troops -- a skill, military analysts say, that is being carried over into the current guerrilla conflict.

(snip)

The study, based on on-site visits to Iraq and 176 interviews with coalition forces and Iraqi prisoners of war, as well as primary-source documents, said that Iraqi intelligence "used low-tech means to assemble picture sufficient to move paramilitaries multiple Republican Guard divisions in ways that imply timely knowledge of our whereabouts."

It said that the Iraqi scouts shadowed virtually all allied movements and communicated positions up the command chain using phones and couriers, often resulting in accurate anticipation of coalition offensives. Iraqis were able to redeploy divisions through paths they knew to be undefended. In Nasiriyah, Marines captured "a detailed, accurate sand table of U.S. positions," the study discloses, indicating precise, real-time knowledge of allied movements. A sand table is a miniature model of a battlefield.

"That sand table, that's a big deal," said W. Patrick Lang, who became familiar with the Iraqi military while directing the Defense Intelligence Agency's Mideast division during the Iran-Iraq war and Desert Storm. "You don't do sand tables unless you know what you're doing. It tells you Iraqi military intelligence was functioning pretty well."

If Mossad set up an office in Mosul, and the Iraqi intelligence apparatus was still operating in a reasonable capacity, they would probably know about it.

[hang a left]

12. thank you htuttle, lots of things to learn.

[fizzana]

6. I have to question this report.

They claim the explosion happened on Monday which is two days ago and other than an obscure Egyptian publication there is no mention of it anywhere else. There are reporters in Kirkuk who would have at the least reported on a loud explosion.

Also Mossad don't exactly set up office buildings in foreign
states.

Unless there is confirmation elsewhere I can't believe this one.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. I am with you

on this one, all the way

[Tinoire]

33. The Mossad, like the CIA, has offices everywhere

they just have innocuous-looking names.

Who are you expecting to confirm this for you though?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

35. Come on, Tinoire...don't tell them what they don't want to hear!...

Have you noticed the massive proliferation of the Buried-Head Ostrich this year?

And did you know that nearly all of the fatal wounds incurred by this infamous bird are through the butt?

:shrug:

[Just Me]

8. You have GOT to be kidding,...

,...GEEZ ussss,...MOSSAD in Iraq!!! If, IF this is true,...no wonder the news blackout!!! That is just too unbelievable for me. Definitely need some confirmation. Good GAWD!

[0007]

26. Where do you think Mossad isn't - and why does it susprise anyone...

that they operate in Iraq?

[Just Me]

32. Suppose THAT'S why Bremer said,...

,...things are gonna get worse,...then, high-tailed his yellow-streaked butt back to DC crying "Oh, Lord, the shit is going to hit the fan now!" Hmmmff!!! I suppose the rental agreement is signed "MOSSAD c/o Israeli Intelligence Officer here to stay until we increase the paranoia and hatred and violence such that we can help PNAC's efforts for world war <four>." Who the hell knows,...anything's possible I guess. I still want confirmation.

[Scott Lee]

13. A MOSSAD office was in IRAQ???

Oh great. Way to really wind up anti-Israel hate in Iraq!!

I had to blink a few times while reading that story. That's akin to putting an Aryan Nations recruitment center in downtown Harlem!

[Blitz]

14. Jesus Christ, people

Take a moment and think.

Do you really believe that Mossad RENTED an office in Kirkouk? Did they use official Mossad checks? Was a Mossad Mastercard involved? Are you sure it was Mossad and not ZOG or the Illuminati? I mean, you never know.

I wonder if Mossad has beefed up security in their Mecca, Medina and Tehran offices. Can somebody look up their telephone numbers so we can call and ask? Surely someone must have them, since, according to MENA, the fact that Mossad rented some office space in Iraq was discovered within a week. Seriously, did the official Mossad Riyadh office shut down before the bombings?

I want a show of hands. Everybody who will believe absolutely anything negative about Israel, regardless of how ridiculous or from what source, kindly raise your hands.

[thebigidea]

20. if I were Israeli, I would hope that Mossad WOULD do those things

if they aren't establishing a foothold in Iraq, why not? Wouldn't they be putting their citizens at risk if they neglected to gather intelligence in the countries of their "enemies"?

You'd think they'd have an interest in keeping tabs on things.

"Everybody who will believe absolutely anything negative about Israel, regardless of how ridiculous or from what source, kindly raise your hands."

How is this story negative about Israel?

And you'd have to be incredibly naive if you think that Mossad doesn't have an adequate presence in Tehran, Riyahd, or Mecca.

Of course they don't have their freakin' logo on the building... shadowy intelligence organizations tend to be a tad more discrete.

[DulceDecorum]

21. I know, I know

I have the same trouble with the idea of the al qaeda website.
http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,58356,00.html

[thebigidea]

25. why would that be?

Sounds like a great way for a cell-based org to disseminate info.

And for a certain American intelligence service to disseminate bogus info in hopes of snaring people.

[DCDemo]

41. Why is it negative against Israel?

Facts aren't negative or positive - they are facts.

IF the building was indeed a Mossag building, then it was a Mossad building. That isn't negative against Isreal - it just IS.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

46. What the heck is your problem? You do know that intelligence agencies...

...from every country in the world use various fronts and cover stories to disguise their true purposes, don't you? Do you really believe that Mossad had their name above the door of the building they rented? Please.

Do you remember Valerie Plame? Until she was betrayed by the Bushies, she was an "employee" of a CIA front and had a cover story to match.

And how is it a stretch for anyone's imagination to believe that an Egyptian news outlet was able to get this story out to the world before anyone else? Do you think it even remotely possible that Iraqi intelligence had a contact with that Egyptian news outlet?

Would this story be more credible for you personally if it was reported by the U.S. corporate-owned mainstream media?

[Gimel]

59. Everyone knows

The Iraqis don't let Jews rent or own property in their nice Moslem country. The very idea!

[54anickel]

16. Well, it looks like they do own some land there.....

Members of the Israeli intelligence organization, the Mossad, have purchased land near the Syrian border in northern Iraq for the purpose of spying on Syria and Iran, according to a report in the United Arab Emirates daily Al-Bayyan.

The sources added that Israeli intelligence people intend on building other bases near the Iraqi-Iranian border to monitor traffic and cells gathering along the Iranian border. They added that the so-called Mossad people are driving Jeeps with Kurdistan number plates and that many of them speak fluent Arabic and Kurdish and are disguised as locals.

There was reportedly extensive teamwork between American and Israeli intelligence personnel on the Iraqi border who are cooperating to ward off potential Islamic extremists targeting American forces.

[Gimel]

60. I wonder what this means

They added that the so-called Mossad people are driving Jeeps with Kurdistan number plates and that many of them speak fluent Arabic and Kurdish and are disguised as locals.

It looks like the news editor is questioning the authenicity of the identity of the so-called Mossad people.

[loudnclear]

18. Hmmm. .. unless Mossad = al-Qaeda? Hmmmmm

this is getting even more suspicious.

[Nevernose]

22. Why?

It's been pretty well established that Al-Qaeda had no connection to Iraq, right? So how then does the fact that Mossad allegedly had an office in Kirkuk equal some nefarious Israeli-Mossad conspiracy?

[loudnclear]

27. Sorry, but it has been established that al-qaeda had a group in northern

Iraq, where the Kurds control. It has also been established that Saddam had nothing to do with them.

[Nevernose]

29. Al-qaeda also had cells in Florida

Right around the time of the election fiasco, too. Does that mean Katherine Harris was working for Mossad?

Maybe we should consider the source of this report, that Mossad had rented office space in downtown Kirkuk? How did the Egyptian Gazette find out, anyway? I doubt it was on Mossad's website.

Kirkuk, by the way, while "in the north" of Iraq, was under Saddam's control.

[absyntheNsugar]

19. Wondering if the "Moussad" tag is "their" spin?

Especially since the Moussad is not supposed to exist officially.

Moussad buildings aren't marked "Moussad" just like CIA field offices arent.

Could very well be Moussad, but I doubt it had a signpost.

[Nevernose]

24. Look at the source--

The Egyptian Gazette. How the hell would THEY know where Mossad's northern Iraqi field office was?

[loudnclear]

28. When folks get close to the truth, attention is always diverted to such

things as "look at the source" (never questioned when there is bogus information favoring the administration); or better yet, "how do they know if it was..." I think Iraqi intelligence is a whole lot better than ours and is definitely not subject to the amount of spin that US intelligence is. I'll believe them until proven otherwise.

39. what was the ludicrous part?

Mossad in Iraq?
Iraqis attacking Mossad?

[Nevernose]

42. Various implications in this thread...

...that Al-Qaeda and Mossad are somehow linked (or perhaps the alternative conspiracy theory that there IS no Al-Qaeda, just an insidious Zionist plot to manipulate American politics).

"Mossad in Iraq" is not ludicrous, but the fact that apparently everyone in Iraq knows where Mossad's secret Kirkuk headquarters is, is ludicrous.

[Blitz]

43. The ludicrous part

is some Egyptian daily or, for that matter, anyone in Iraq that was not meant to know, knowing if Mossad was there or, if it was there, where Mossad was. The claim is that a Mossad office was blown up. The proof is ... well, here is no solid proof offered, is there?

Just a claim of a small victory against the Zionist Entity which the paper's readers and those who desperately wish for such a victory(both in Egypt and, apparently, here) just lap up.

[Nevernose]

45. It's not the "Zionist Entity"

It's the "Insidious Zionist Plot" or IZP for short. They're a field division of the "International Zionist Conspiracy." They hired both Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth, sank the Lusitania, killed Keith Moon, and trained their dog to shit on my lawn. And I can prove that those allegations are true, because I READ IT ON THE INTERNET. If it's on the internet, it MUST be true!

:D

[0007]

30. Goddamnit there are spys from very fucking nation....

in the world that can be subjected to Iraqis oil, politics or religious war. GUESS WHERE THEY ARE?

Some posters I think are just waking up or drunk!

Mossad is an Israeli Intelligence Agency. How far away is Iraq who hate Israel? Why is this so hard to understand

[Nevernose]

34. OF COURSE Mossad is spying in Iraq

Every country in the world probably has "intelligence assets" over there, from the Armenians to the Zimbabweans.

The fact that Mossad is there is beyond doubt. I think what many of us are questioning is the crack team of Egyptian reporters who discovered that the werehouse in question was owned by an Israeli intelligence organization. What, did Mossad have a sign out front? Did they post their address on their Mossad blog? How did someone from the Egyptian Gazette get this information?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

36. Do you think it could be even remotely possible that...

...someone in Iraqi intelligence flew a little talkative blue bird up the butt of that Egyptian media outlet?

[Just Me]

38. It is also remotely possible that,...

,...Rummy and his henchman flew a talkative blue bird up someone's media butt, too,...don't ya think? After all,...stirring shit up is his specialty.

[Nevernose]

40. I thnk it more likely

That Iraqi intelligence officers would tell them that whether that Iraqi intelligence officer had any knowledge of that or not. It makes for good anti-Israeli propoganda, which sells a lot of papers, I'm sure, in places like Egypt. Anti-Israeli propoganda, as I understand it, is par for the course across most of the Muslim world; the Isarelis sell a lot of papers and spread their own propoganda in the same way.

Just like the CIA says that everybody at Gitmo is a terrorist, or FAUX saying that Al-Qaeda is hiding under my mattress...it's propoganda bullshit.

[0007]

44. Absolutely! No question and probably was never an attack on Mossad.....

in the first place.

The U.S. is dancing to Sharon's tune

[DUreader]

47. I heard they found Israeli passports and Mossad ID cards in the rubble

only slightly damaged by the explosions and raging fire.


(Yes that is 9/11 reference/dark humor)

55. And autographed pictures from

56. This thread ain't nuthin' but shit.

[rini]

58. This is the funniest posting I have ever read

I am sure Mossad had a huge neon sign flashing Mossad! Mossad!

[leQ]

61. the link here is now a story about a Qurie & sharon meeting

is there another reference about this anywhere?
