The Dutch AIVD secret service has had an ultra-secret operation underway in Iran in recent years that was halted in connection with plans for a US attack on Iran.
The respected newspaper De Telegraaf reported Friday the "ultra-secret operation" had as its aim infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry in the Islamic Republic.
"The operation, described as extremely successful, was halted recently in connection with plans for an impending US air attack on Iran. Along with this, targets would also be bombed which were connected with the Dutch espionage action," writes the Netherlands biggest newspaper.
"One of the agents involved, who was able to infiltrate the Iranian industry under the supervision of the AIVD, was recently recalled because the US was thought to be making a decision within weeks to attack Iran with unmanned aircraft.
Among the potential targets were said to be not only nuclear plants, but also military installations that have been brought to light partly by the agency of the AIVD," according to the newspaper.
"Information from the AIVD operation has in recent years been shared with the American CIA secret service," the paper continued. "Various supplies could also be sabotaged and stopped. These were parts for missiles and launching equipment."
The article was written by Joost de Haas, known for his good contacts in the intelligence world. Earlier, he got hold of an AIVD report which suggested that corrupt powers within Dutch police corps supplied weapons to criminals to liquidate other criminals.
are these dutch immigrants from iran that turned spies?
if not, they’d stand out.
>...because the US was thought to be making a decision within weeks to attack Iran with unmanned aircraft.
i don’t believe it.
but, i’m often WRONG.
Ummm, shouldn’t this be like, y’know, a secret?
Wow, the dutch have a New York times too?
>...because the US was thought to be making a decision within weeks to attack Iran with unmanned aircraft.
i don’t believe it.
but, i’m often WRONG.........”
I don’t believe it, but it would be cool to wipe out their nuke sites with our drones. :-)
Iran is praying for an Obama victory.
Unfortunately, Israel (and Saudi, who is silently backing this as well) can’t afford to take a risk on Obama winning. So they must attack now.
I’m betting that Saudi and others may have made production guarantees to stabilize oil prices.
The wheels are in motion on our first “Obama War”. The first of many, if he is elected.
nice fantasy, huh?
yeah, i agree.
blast’em.
wtf
I hope so.
Not to mention you can hear their footsteps coming down the hall from a mile away.
they walk hard
not hardly, huh?
!!!
you hope i’m wrong?
well, that’s ok.
if someone does bomb iran, i hope blast the h*ll out of it.
When I was little I had a little wind-up toy car that was designed
to drive along at random until it ran into something at which time the
doors fenders roof hood and trunk would fly off into the air.
You could put all the parts back on and wind it up and do it again.
Over and over and over - hours of fun and entertainment.
I think it was called the “Crash-Mobile”.
You never knew where it was going to go; but in the end
you always knew what was going to happen.
Iran has crash-mobile karma.
The whole world knows what is going to happen.
We just don’t know exactly when or where or by whom.
Reference is to the traditional wooden Dutch shoes.
Called Sabot.
As in the root word for Sabotage which is translated as Sabot Day.
Wooden shoes can damage mechanical gears when thrown into them in protest...
yes, i forgot.
i once knew that a long time ago!
it’s a good dictionary look-up.
I hope we bomb Iran.
Good for those in the Dutch government that support limiting Iran’s nuclear reach.
