Saddam Surat # 4 - Was 9/11 Modus Operandi the Same as 1980 Saddam Subterfuge?

Excerpt from Con Coughlin, Saddam: His Rise and Fall (2005:187)---"The Iranian revolution had a dramatic impact internationally, particularly when Iranian revolutionaries were held responsible for incidents such as the storming of the American embassy in Tehran on December 17, 1979, when the Revolutionary Guards took six-six American diplomats hostage. The following year the mounting tensions between Iran and Iraq spilled onto the streets of London when a group of six pro-Iraqi rebels from Khorramshahr in Iran's Arab province of Khuzistan seized control of the Iranian embassy in May, and held the staff hostage. The seige was ended when an elite unit from Britain's SAS stormed the embassy after the terrorists had shot dead one of the hostages. Five of the terrorists were killed during the ensuing operation, and one survived. By the time the survivor went on trial at the Old Bailey courthouse in London in 1981, Khorramshahr was under Iraqi control. He later reveived a life sentence after being convicted of terrorism charges. It later transpired that the entire operation had been conceived by Iraqi intelligence, and that the Iranian gunmen had been trained in Iraq; they had also received false passports from their Iraqi trainers."

Yes. I think it was a "false flag" operation.And were it not for the incompetence of the CYA we'd have no quesrion about that.

If Saddam pulled this off would he have done it under his own flag or would he want to shift blame onto his arch enemy who had the closest ties to the U.S.? The friend of my enemy is my fall guy or scapegoat (reversing the dictum - the enemy of my enemy is my friend). WL
