MOSSAD'S KILLING MACHINE COMES TO BRITAIN

MOSSAD'S KILLING MACHINE COMES TO BRITAIN

A killing war between Israel's Mossad and Islamic fanatics came closer this weekend in Britain. The Israeli intelligence agency has sent four members of its kidon assassination squad to this country, to join fifteen other handpicked katsas, its relentless field agents.

Their brief is to "disable" any of the "close to 50" British Muslims that the extremist Islamic group, Al-Muhajiroun, last week boasted were ready to carry out suicide missions similar to the one in Tel Aviv. Al-Muhajiroun spokesman, Asif Butt, said the 50 were "primed and ready to go".

The threat was sufficient for Mossad to send its own termination squad to head off any further threat to Israel or to synagogues and other Jewish institutions in this country.

"In Mossad-speak 'disable' means taking them out permanently", said an MI5 source grimly. "We know from past experience that the kidon can make murder look like an accident. It is their speciality".

Two of the kidon are women. They have been trained to be ready to sleep with someone to obtain vital information. Former Mossad chief Meir Amit said that "sex is a woman's weapon. Pillow talk is not a problem for her. But it takes a special kind of courage - to sleep with the enemy".

Mossad often operates outside the law of this country - or any country.

In the past, it has killed terrorists in the streets of Paris, Frankfurt and other European cities. In turn, it has lost over 100 agents in the past 50 years. Their memorial is a monument shaped like a human brain in a suburb of Tel Aviv.

In Britain, they are banned from using guns or explosives. But they are equipped with long and short-blade knives and piano wire to strangle. They are also trained in the art of melting into a hostile community. Some of the team have spent time undercover in Arab capitals. They speak all the languages of the Middle East - and can pass as Islamic extremists to get close to the fanatics they have come to hunt down in Britain. Israel has openly made it clear it fears Britain has become a haven for extremist preachers and their network of organisations dedicated to sowing hatred. They cite how terrorists have been able to hire expensive lawyers to fight extradition.

For years Khalid Fawwaz, wanted in the US for his alleged role in the bombing of the American embassy in Kenya, has used the courts in Britain for the past four years to avoid extradition. The expense of his fight has cost the taxpayer £428,000.

Israel accepts that the majority of this country's 1.8 Muslims are law abiding. But it says that since the attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon, there has been an increase in extremists entering Britain under the guise of asylum seekers.

The attack by two British suicide bombers in Tel Aviv has led to Mossad being ordered to "carry the war to our enemies", said a senior Israeli intelligence source. The Mossad team in Britain know their actions are sanctioned by their government.

Rafi Eitan, a former director of operations, said: "we are like the official hangman or the doctor on Death Row who administers the lethal injection. We are simply fulfilling a sentence sanctioned by the prime minister of the day".

Since he has come to office, it is known that Israel's Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, has "sanctioned" a number of assassinations of terrorists who could not be brought before Israeli courts.

Victor Ostrovsky, a former member of the assassination team said that kidon always use a weapon appropriate to the situation. "Strangulation if the target is to be killed at night. Sometimes an aerosol or a syringe in the jugular to deliver a fast-acting nerve agent that kills and leaves no trace".

The decision to send in the Mossad came after urgent discussions between Ariel Sharon and Downing Street last weekend. Later, Mossad's new hardman chief, Meir Dagan, called Eliza Manningham-Buller, head of MI5, and told her that his men would co-operate closely with her agents.

Next day, katsas from Mossad headquarters in Brussels had flown into Heathrow. Twenty-four hours later, the four-man kidon had arrived on an El Al flight from Israel. Supporting them are Mossad yahalomin - specialists at bugging phones and buildings. Their targets include a Leicester-based charity, Interpal. It has been accused of fund-raising for Hamas and is currently under investigation by the Charity Commissioners. Interpal insists its fund-raising is "purely humanitarian".

Although the Home Office has officially banned 20 terror groups, Mossad believes many are still operating behind Islamic front organisations.

The deployment of such a massive Mossad team is the first time it has operated in such numbers in this country since 1987.

That year, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ordered their operations to be shut down after a "honey pot" operation to kidnap Mordechai Vananu, the whistleblower who revealed secrets about Israel's nuclear arsenal. He fled to London.

Mossad traced him and a woman agent enticed Vananu - on the promise of sex - to go with her to Rome. A Mossad team was waiting there to drug and spirit Vananu back to Israel. He is still serving a life sentence.

Now, united in common cause, Mossad and MI5 are burrowing deep into the closed world of Islamic fundamentalism in this country.

Former operations chief Rafi Eitan, who has worked secretly in Britain said: "there has always been a love-hate relationship with British intelligence. But after the suicide bomber attack last week, that is over". Nevertheless, the Mossad team will virtually operate on its own rules.

"The one rule which overrides all others is: kill or be killed. That is why the kidon are here. They can make an assassination look like the perfect accident", said an Israeli intelligence source.

SIDEBAR:

· Mossad. Israel's prime intelligence service. Formally known as Mossad le Aliyah Beth. Employs some 1,500 full-time staff. Less than 100 are field agents. But has an estimated one million informers within the Jewish Diaspora.

· Kidon. Mossad's state-backed assassination team. Based in the Negev Desert. Current strength said to be 48, six of them women. All are in their late twenties and superbly fit. Usually work in teams of four.

Their successes….

· Dr Gerald Bull. Canadian scientist and then the world's greatest expert of ballistics. Offered his services to Saddam Hussein. On March 22, 1990, a kidon team assassinated Bull in the doorway of his Brussels apartment. Mossad's Department of Psychological Warfare planted the story that Bull had been murdered Iraqi agents because he reneged on his deal with Saddam.

· Faithi Shkaki. Head of Islamic Jihad in 1995. Returning from Libya, a kidon unit were waiting for him in Malta. As he went shopping for presents for his wife and children back in Damascus, kidon struck. Shkaki was shot six times in the head as he emerged from a shop with his wrapped gifts. The kidon escaped undetected.

· Ali Hassan Salameh. Known as "The Red Prince". The man behind the Munich massacre of the Israeli athletes in 1972. Hid for years in West Beirut until the day a kidon team, one a woman, placed a car bomb on his route to work. He was blown to bits.

…. and failures.

· Yasser Arafat. On six separate occasions, Mossad tried to assassinate the PLO leader in Lebanon and Tunisia. Each time Arafat escaped at the last moment. There was a suspicion in Mossad that a mole had leaked their plans. But it was never proven.

· Khalid Meshel. Fanatical Hamas leader. Lived near King Hussein's palace in Amman, Jordan. Father of seven children. In September, 1997, a kidon team tried to inject him on a street with a new lethal nerve agent. They failed. The uproar led to an international outcry. The kidon returned to Israel but were transferred to border patrol work.

this fiction writer is being used as a willing conduit for psyops and propaganda.

If the Mossad is as all-powerful and all-knowing as he claims, do you think they would have any problem taking him out if he published something they didn't intend for him to publish?

if they ever, EVER get caught in Britain (or the USA) they risk the most horrible blowback on Israel and the Jewish people that the world has seen since the Holocaust.

Oh, really? You would justify massive attacks against Jews world wide if the Mossad screws up like they did at Lillehammer. Would you also say that if Al Qaeda made another attack on the magnitude of the WTC that Muslims would likewise experience horrible blowback? Especially the ones who dance in the street?

I heard on Fox News this morning that the body of the second British failed-suicide bomber was recovered from the water off Isreal. Could it be that a kidon team has already scored one goal? If that is the case:

Scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore!

And I thought that they got their information by threatening to have Madeline Albright sleep with them.

1. This story is BS. After 9/11 the Israelis no longer fight international terrorism alone. The US or Britain would quickly round up any terrorist which Israel had fingered.

2. I have the gut feeling you would have the same Holocaust desire for Jews/Israel is you perceived that a Jew took a parking spot you had your eye on or even if he didn't.

Their creator values them and judges them by their fruit.

Just as he values the Muslims and will he will judge them and their fruit also.

A pity they had to come in and take out Britain's trash because they were too squeamish to do so. Besides Blair, they seem to have mutated into a nation of Chamberlains.

Nope, just reading his book.

Well, I am qualified to coment.. At least I have read it.

Likewise, if you had read it yourself, then you would know you are incorrect.

I'll repeat it: those junk trees have no redeeming horticultural value. They're merely here to help us lowly mortals distinguish between junk and quality, as we are able to do with the presence of both good and evil, or beautiful and ugly. One without the other is useless in a useful comparison. Mooooooos-lim filth aren't created; they're the subhuman spawn of Satan's loins. Islam is the cult of deviancy, terrorism and murder.

God does not agree. He says:

1) No one is righous..

2) You are not to judge his servants, for you aren't fit to judge.

3) You will be judged by your own measure. When you judge others, the same standard will be applied to you.

4) Love your neighbor. (no "moooslimb" exemption there that I could find.)

Now, if you have a problem with that.. I suggest you take it up with God.

Ahh... Missed that. However, Israeli assasins have been known to have sex with their targets in order to "lull them into submission."

I didn't say _I_ threatened a blowback. That would be an evil thing. I wish no ill upon the Jewish people. But politically it's a tinder box situation and Israel would be utter fools to send licensed-to-kill agents into any Western country. The present day secular country of Israel has one foot on the good graces (such as they are) of the West, and the other foot on a banana peel. Unfair? Sure. Realpolitik? H***, yeah!!!

Excellent. Please send two Mossad agents to my university. There'll be a list of to-be-disabled professors taped to the soda machine by the coffee stand in the Student Center, near the Subway (sandwiches, not transit). Those of you with Ph.D.s in the humanities who've found the job market unbreachable, take heart; 11 openings coming up in the Midwest. ;^)

"Realpolitik? H***, yeah!!!"

To clarify further... an Israeli assassination of a real or suspected terrorist in the USA would produce furious debate among fundamentalist, pre-millenialist theology Christians, who are almost the entire public support base for Israel in the USA. Israel does NOT want to split that base. Not if it is smart, and the Bush administration has made it abundantly clear it is willing to address even its own civilians with the ruthlessness reserved to enemy combatants if it deems necessary.
