Israeli
Mossad Links To World Trade Center Attack
|
Special
Fact Report |
A US military intelligence source revealed details of
an internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli
Mossad intelligence service having links to the World
Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The intelligence source,
who requested his name be withheld, confirmed the internal
US intelligence memo circulated four weeks ago described
information that pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli
operation on US soil to turn mass public opinion against
Palestinian Arabs via an apparent terrorist attack on
US interests that would give Israel the green light to
implement a large scale military onslaught against the
Palestinian Arab population.
The
11 September attack has been described by experts as
being too sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to
execute. This attack required a high level of military
precision and the resources of an advanced intelligence
agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed
to be extremely familiar with both air force one flight
operations, civil airline flight paths and aerial assault
tactics on sensitive US cities like Washington, Stated
David Stern an expert on Israeli intelligence operations.
The attacks targeted the Pentagon, World
Trade Center towers, with the White House and Air Force
One also being targets according to the FBI. The attacks
have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back
in Israel's favor after 11 months of Palestinian uprising,
heavy criticism of Israel over war crimes allegations
and racism by a UN conference in Durban. The attacks
serve no Arab group or nations interests but their timing
came in the midst of international condemnation of Israel
for its policy of death squad assassination of Palestinian
political and police figures_, added Stern.
If verified, the news of Israel’s
involvement in the US attack will come as no surprise
to intelligence experts. The state of Israel has a long
history of covert operations against Western targets
with attacks on the King David Hotel, USS Liberty, murder
of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage against
the US during the Jonathan Pollard case. On Wednesday
the US defense department issued a warning to its officials
to halt the leak of information on the investigation
which it says is happening on a daily basis since the
attacks occurred.
