Who Are
The Real Terrorists In Iraq?
Clear
Evidence British special forces are recruiting, training
terrorists to heighten ethnic tensions
Elite SAS wing with bloody past operates with immunity,
provides advanced explosives
Some attacks being blamed on Iranians
Posted By Steve Watson swatson@infowars.net
An article in the Sunday Telegraph this weekend pointed
towards evidence that an secretive and elite unit of the
British army is actively engaged in recruiting and training
Iraqi insurgents and terrorists as double agents.
This confirms what many have speculated for a long time, that
Britain and the US are deeply involved in bombings and attacks
inside Iraq which are subsequently attributed either to Sunni
insurgents or shadowy terrorist cells such as "Al Qaeda
in Iraq".
The Telegraph article states:
Deep inside the heart of the "Green Zone", the
heavily fortified administrative compound in Baghdad, lies one
of the most carefully guarded secrets of the war in Iraq. It
is a cell from a small and anonymous British Army unit that
goes by the deliberately meaningless name of the Joint Support
Group (JSG), and it has proved to be one of the Coalition's
most effective and deadly weapons in the fight against terror.
Its members - servicemen and women of all ranks recruited from
all three of the Armed Forces - are trained to turn hardened
terrorists into coalition spies using methods developed on the
mean streets of Ulster during the Troubles, when the Army
managed to infiltrate the IRA at almost every level. Since war
broke out in Iraq in 2003, they have been responsible for
running dozens of Iraqi double agents.
A look into the history of the secretive JSG or Force Research
Unit (FRU), the cover name it operated under in Northern
Ireland, reveals the extent to which the British government
supports and engages in acts of terrorism in order to further
its agenda in occupied territories. Iraq, as it turns out, is
unsurprisingly no exception.
The FRU is the same ultra secret cell of the SAS whose
criminal activities in Northern Ireland were under
investigation by former Scotland Yard commissioner Sir John
Stevens for more than a decade, during which time it emerged
that the unit was involved in the murder of civilians in
Northern Ireland.
According to Detectives, 'Military intelligence was colluding
with terrorists to help them kill so-called "legitimate
targets" such as active republicans...many of the victims
of these government backed hit squads were innocent
civilians.'
“Beginning in the 1980s the highly secretive FRU was sent
into Northern Ireland to recruit and train double agents to
work inside the paramilitary groups,” writes Michael S.
Rose.
“The FRU combated IRA terrorism by the use of paid
informers, blackmail, ambushes, and other methods not approved
by the Geneva Convention. In the worst case, British officers
decided that in cases when it would be difficult to bring
suspected IRA terrorists to justice by legitimate means, the
FRU would enlist outlawed guerilla groups that possessed both
the desire and the means to murder the IRA men. According to
Stevens Three, the FRU assisted Protestant terrorists in
carrying out what were, in effect, proxy assassinations of
Catholics. In order to forge such alliances, the British
officers had to overlook the fact that the interests of the
Protestant death squads were not those of the United Kingdom
and its government.”
The FRU was further exposed by former member turned
whistleblower Kevin Fulton.
Fulton worked for the FRU for much of his career as he was
infiltrating the IRA. In his role as a British FRU agent
inside the IRA, he was told to 'do anything' to win the
confidence of the terrorist group. Fulton Told the Sunday
Herald:
"I mixed explosive and I helped develop new types of
bombs. I moved weapons. If you ask me, 'Did I kill anyone?'
then I will say 'no'. But if you ask me if the materials I
handled killed anyone, then I will have to say that some of
the things I helped develop did kill.
I reiterate, my handlers knew everything I did. I was never
told not to do something that was discussed. How can you
pretend to be a terrorist and not act like one? You can't.
You've got to do what they do. The people I was with were
hard-hitters. They did a lot of murders. If I couldn't be any
good to them, then I was no use to the army either. I had to
do what the man standing next to me did.
I broke the law seven days a week and my handlers knew that.
They knew that I was making bombs and giving them to other
members of the IRA and they did nothing about it. If
everything I touched turned to shit then I would have been
dead. The idea was that the only way to beat the enemy was to
penetrate the enemy and be the enemy. At the time I'd no
problem with this way of thinking."
Fulton revealed that his handlers told him that his operations
were 'sanctioned right at the top... this goes the whole way
to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knows what you are
doing.'
Every major IRA bombing in England and Northern Ireland has
had the fingerprints of the British government and the FRU all
over it.
The August 1998 Omagh bombing, which killed 29 people, was
known ahead of time by the security services and yet the bomb
team wasn't intercepted. The reason? One of the members of the
bomb squad was working for army intelligence and MI5. The
bombing was allowed to go ahead.
Kevin Fulton claims that he phoned a warning to his RUC
handlers 48 hours before the Omagh bombing that the Real IRA
was planning an attack and gave details of one of the bombing
team and the man's car registration.
Documents, lodged as part of a court action being taken
against the British government by a disgruntled military
intelligence agent, also reveled that an FRU major was the
officer who was the handler of the British army's most
infamous agent inside the IRA -- a man codenamed Stakeknife.
Stakeknife is one of Belfast's leading Provisionals. His
military handlers allowed him to carry out large numbers of
terrorist murders in order to protect his cover within the
IRA.
The London Observer further revealed some of the methods
employed by the FRU in Northern Ireland, including the
“human bomb” technique, which involved “forcing
civilians to drive vehicles laden with explosives into army
checkpoints”.
This throws a great deal of light on at least one reported
incident in Iraq just over a year ago where British SAS
agents, dressed in Arab garb and head dress, were caught
attempting to stage a terror attack.
The soldiers drove a car towards a group of Iraq police and
began firing. According to the Basra governor Mohammed al-Waili,
one policeman was shot dead and another was injured.
Early reports cited as originating from BBC World Service
radio stated that the car used contained explosives.
In light of this it is pertinent to ask the question, are
civilians in Iraq being killed as "legitimate
targets"?
We have previously covered the Iraq "order out of
chaos" or "strategy of tension" theories in
great detail, citing Pentagon documents, esteemed researchers
and the testimony of Congressmen and Ambassadors.
All agree that it is entirely plausible to suggest that the US
and British governments are operating an underlying strategy
which serves to keep the country mired in turmoil to justify
the continued presence of occupational forces.
In many cases the evidence suggests that the armed forces role
is to prod terrorist cells into action, thus exposing them to
"quick-response" attacks. The FRU revelations of
recruiting, training and equippingterrorists in Iraq is thus
telling.
An even more startling question comes to mind, are everyday
ground troops being killed in attacks that their higher ups
either have extensive knowledge of or have actually
coordinated themselves?
Recently there have been reports of US soldiers being killed
by insurgents wearing American military uniforms. Iraqi
officials said the gunmen disguised their intent with
uniforms, American flak jackets, guns and a convoy of at least
seven GMC sport utility vehicles, which are usually used by
American officials in Iraq.
It is possible that insurgents may have been able to lay their
hands on a couple of uniforms, but where did they get a whole
convey of vehicles from?
Further interesting light is thrown on this topic when one
considers that the explosives being used in many roadside
bombs and car bomb attacks in Iraq have been proven to be
developed using advance technology from photographic flash
units, which were employed by the IRA some 15 years ago after
Irish terrorists were given advice by British agents.
Kevin Fulton has again provided vital information on this,
revealing how MI5 helped to buy bomb parts and technology in
the US which were subsequently used by the FRU in Northern
Ireland and have now found their way into the hands of Iraqi
resistance fighters.
“In late 1993 and early 1994, I went to America with
officers from MI5, the FRU and RUC special branch. They had
already sourced the transmitters and receivers in New York
following liaison with their counterparts in the FBI,”
Fulton told the Sunday Tribune in June, 2002. Fulton’s trip
was confirmed by the FBI, according to Matthew Teague, writing
for the Atlantic. The Independent on Sunday “has also spoken
to a republican who was a senior IRA member in the early
1990s. He confirmed that Mr. Fulton had introduced the IRA to
the new technology and that the IRA shared this with
‘like-minded organizations abroad.’”
There can be no more clearer evidence that our special forces
are recruiting, training and arming the Iraqi insurgents.
What's more, in an attempt to shift the blame away from
British and US special forces, the US government has attempted
to pin the blame for the use of this advance infra-red bomb
technology on Iran:
“According to U.S. military figures, 198 American and
British soldiers have been killed, and more than 600 wounded
by advanced explosive devices manufactured in Iran and
smuggled in through the southern marshes and along the Tigris
River. Attempts to disrupt these networks, combined with the
decision to send a second aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf
as a warning to Iran, significantly raises the stakes,
according to former Assistant Secretary of State Martin Indyk.”
So all in all here we have clear evidence of Britain and the
US recruiting terrorists in Iraq, training them, providing
explosives and advanced detonating technology and then blaming
the attacks on Iran, thus raising the possibilities of
widening the war across the Iranian border.
The FRU is, as previously stated, a wing of the SAS. A cursory
look into some of the covert activities of the SAS, along with
the equivalent Delta forces in the US, involving terrorist
groups again reveals the fact that the British and US
establishments are not engaged in fighting a war on terror,
they are perpetuating the terror as part of their overall
agenda.
British and American special forces notoriously paved the way
for an influx of radical Islamic mujahideen fighters and arms
into the Balkans in the early nineties and trained them in
order to counter Serbian forces during the Bosnian conflict.
The SAS, under a joint strategic directive of MI6 and the US
Defence Intelligence Agency, also later notoriously trained
Kosovo Liberation Army terrorists in the Balkans in the mid to
late nineties. Several investigations corroborated this.
The KLA was known to be heavy infiltrated at this time by
"Al Qaeda" or mujahideen fighters associated with
Osama Bin Laden who had declared a "global war on the
US". It was even alleged that Bin Laden had directly
financed the group, yet the US and Britain still went ahead
and covertly trained the KLA.
The KLA was then used to increase ethnic tensions and further
destabilize the region, just as is happening now in Iraq.
Attacks by the KLA were used to justify Western intervention
in the Balkans.
There is also extensive evidence to suggest that British and
US special forces have helped create, support and train
Albanian terror cells from which a great deal of the KLA
finances are derived.
The activities of the FRU in Iraq need to be investigated
immediately. We have a branch of the military that is
operating above the law and outside of the Geneva convention
within a theatre of war. Moreover this unit has an extremely
dirty past that involves carrying out terrorist atrocities and
blaming them on persons or groups it wishes to see removed.
The driving agenda in Iraq is to set down permanent bases and
dominate the middle east from there. Thus the war is allowed
to rage on to keep our forces there.
The FRU's past activities also clearly reveal that the British
government is not engaged in a real war on terror, they use
the vehicle of terrorism to steer the greater agenda of
conquer and control where ever they see fit. The Delta forces
of the US work in direct collusion with this wing of the SAS
towards the same goal.
