I think I found a connection to todays announcement to the kidnapping of the 50 employees of that security firm last week.

Cap Huff sniffed it out first last week by highlighting this passage from a NYTimes article.

The NYT is still using this incident as support for their agenda, but they could not help but publish some details that, if there is any truth to them, make one wonder what really is going on:

"The target of the abductions also pointed to sectarian rivalries. The gunmen stormed the company, Al Rawafid Security, in the neighborhood of Zayouna, and seized weapons, computer equipment, documents and a safe full of cash, police officials and witnesses said."

"Al Rawafid Security is owned by a relative of Sheik Ghazi al-Yawer, one of Iraq's two vice presidents and a Sunni Arab, according to a company employee who requested anonymity for fear of retribution. Many of the employees are Sunni Arabs and related to Mr. Yawer, said the employee, who was not at the office during the kidnapping."

"Many employees had also been members of Saddam Hussein's security forces, and several were high-ranking officers from the former Iraqi Army, the employee said."

"An aide to Mr. Yawer refused to comment on the incident and said the vice president was out of the country and unavailable."

Now flash forward to today with the announcing of a plot being foiled to plant 421 guards at different enterances of the Green Zone.

Ernest at the Beach linked this snippet earlier:

From the MSNBC story linked at post#59 we have this:

****************************************

The Defense Ministry was carrying out operations to capture the would-be recruits, both men said.

“Most of them were members of the same tribe and came from the same area,” Jabr said but refused to give specifics because of the ongoing operation. Neither Jabr nor the Defense Ministry official would give details on any arrests.

“The 421 were supposed to be in control of the entrances to the Green Zone and internal squares. I mean they were going to be in charge of security in the Green Zone in the future,” Jabr told AP. “They were going to carry out operations. Most of them are wanted terrorists” using false identification.
