Report: Iraqi spies in U.S.
New York Daily News ^ | 1/30/03 | JAMES GORDON MEEK

Posted on 01/30/2003 2:02:19 AM PST by kattracks

NY DAILY NEWS EXCLUSIVE

WASHINGTON - Iraq sent spies from Canada to New York and Washington this month to snoop and stir up anti-war demonstrations, according to a government report obtained by the Daily News.

The classified document also reveals a plot by Al Qaeda-linked militants in Zimbabwe to attack American targets in that country and elsewhere if the U.S. declares war on Iraq.

It suggests the group, Tablik Ja'maat, could be a "conduit for communication" between Osama Bin Laden's terror network and Iraqi leaders.

The threats, disclosed to U.S. spy agencies yesterday, are detailed in a secret report prepared by an intelligence unit in the Homeland Security Department.

It comes as the White House weighs the release of classified information to prove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's links to Al Qaeda and efforts to evade UN weapons inspectors.

A source identified as a member of the Iraqi opposition told U.S. agents that Iraqis in Canada were ordered to recruit Arabs and other foreigners for espionage missions in the U.S., the report said.

The Iraqi Embassy in Ottawa sent operatives to New York and Washington with instructions to "intensify spying activities and to carry out anti-U.S. demonstrations to stop a war against Iraq," the report said.

The report said the Iraqis were willing to spend "large sums" to back the effort.

The report also describes a plot by Tablik Ja'maat to carry out "coordinated attacks" against U.S targets in Zimbabwe if war is declared on Iraq. Other attacks, revealed by the group's leader at a Jan. 18 meeting at a mosque in Harare, would take place in Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey, South Africa and Israel, the report said.

An Associated Press report last week said that the FBI is looking to question as many as 50,000 Iraqis living in the U.S. to root out potential spies and terror cells.

I have wanted to see every communist leader buried so I could urinate over their graves since I was about 12 years old.

I have promised my oldest son that when Tio Fidel is buried. I will pay for the two us to visit Cuba to fly fish and for me to urinate on Castro's grave.

The Chicoms and the NKs, Tio Fidel and the pyschos running N Korea need a long dirt bath. However, we can handle that after kill the Islamofacist snakes around us before they kill our families and us.

You can write a song about "Their time will come!"

First, we kill all of the Islamofascist/kazi snakes around us.

Re the wicked sense of humor.

We are seeing a great sense of humor in our 23 month old grandson and his older sister who will be 4 in May.

They love to kid and tease their Papa, Grand Ma and parents. My Grand Daughter had been teasing me months before she talked. She would hold out a piece of food and offer it to me. When I reached for it, she would pull her hand away and just laugh. As she has matured the teasing has gotten more sophisticated.

Your grandkids sound great. The sense of humor must be genetic. The grandparent-grandchild relationship is a special one. I was very lucky to have wonderful grandparents who were/are blessed with long lives so I've gotten to spend time with them throughout my life. Enjoy them! You're very lucky.

Being a grandparent is indeed special. We love our wonderful sons, but we have to admit when we held those grandbabies the first time. Something wonderful happened.

I had wonderful Grandparents. They loved all of their large number of grandkids, and they made each one of us feel special.

The sense of humor is probably genetic. Our kids got it from both sides, and our grandkids did too.

Tablik Jamaat is just another way of translating Tabligh-i-Jamaat, kind of like how Ayman al-Zawahiri's organization, Gamaa al-Islamiyyah, has been variously rendered Jamaa Islamia, Jemah Islamiya, ect.

And yes, if I remember correctly it does indeed include our friend Calypso Louie. It also has ties to Sheikh Gilani and by extension al-Fuqra.

Ms.Choong is the Deputy Secretary General of the KTC, which is affiliated with the International Action Center (IAC). which is affiliated with International ANSWER. All of these groups are affiliated with the Workers World Party (WWP). The WWP is a staunch advocate of Kim Jong Il. Brian Becker was a principal organizer of the anti-American rally. Becker is a Director of ANSWER, and the IAC. He is a member of the Secretariat of the WWP of the United States as well. Both Becker and Choong availed themselves of the opportunity to spew their venom during the rally. Our boy in Pyongyang, Brian Becker, called the President a liar. Becker's wife introduced a new group: Doctors and Nurses Against the War. If you listen to the speakers that Becker arranged, America is an imperialistic nation. Their main theme was that this was all about oil-a theory developed by the WWP some years ago. Becker is very involved with North Korea. He denounced the U.S. last March during a press interview held in Pyongyang before his departure from North Korea. Becker accused the United States of systematically, maliciously, and intentionally murdering Korean civilians in a campaign of genocide. Of course, one would have to wonder why it is that a lot of South Koreans have immigrated to the United States if we were responsible for killing all those innocent Koreans. You would think they would be going to North Korea instead. The IAC established a Korean War Crimes Tribunal at the Riverside Church in New York City. The Riverside Church is active in anti-American campaigns. Incidentally, this tribunal was endorsed by Al-Awda, "the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition."")(013003)

"During the 80's, Weiss was the Director of the Disarmament Program of the Riverside Church of New York City. Riverside's program was a leader in supporting the Soviet-backed nuclear freeze program that would have consolidated Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe-in the name of peace. As Riverside's director, Weiss was one of the organizers of a 1982 disarmament rally in New York City. Purportedly the largest ever, the rally was a coalition of communist organizations. In 1983, Weiss was a delegate to an IPS sponsored US-USSR confab for disarmament. Delegates included members of the Riverside Church, which is allied with the National Council of Churches (NCC) and World Council of Churches (WCC). The anti-Americanism of Riverside, the NCC and the WCC is well known. All three organizations were advocates for the North Vietnamese. All three organizations were advocates for Marxists revolutions in Africa. (Indeed, the WCC contributed to Robert Mugabe's Marxist army.) All three organizations were advocates for the Marxist revolutions in Central America in the 1980's. All three protested the deployment of Pershing missiles in Europe. All three condemned the Gulf War. All three condemned US military action against the Taliban.") (December 11, 2002)

DANIEL PIPES.org: "ADVANCING U.S. NATIONAL INTERESTS THROUGH EFFECTIVE COUNTERTERRORISM Testimony Presented to: Secretary's Open Forum, Department of State" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Question: I'm a member of the National Press Club and I have two questions. One, on a current item of news about Daniel Pearl of the Wall Street Journal, who was recently kidnapped and evidently someone who was supposed to be meeting with some terrorists, one of whom I believe was said to have four wives, two of whom are African American Muslims. He's supposed to have trained a lot of African American Muslims to fight; the thought is that this might be the tip of the iceberg as to a link he (Daniel Pearl) was on the verge of discovering and that this triggered his being kidnapped. Any comments on that? Second question has to do with the president last night talking about Islamic Jihad being very dangerous terrorist organization. Does that mean the United States is treating it similarly to Al Qaeda?

Mr. Pipes: On the first: Daniel Pearl was suppose to meet with Sheikh Gilani, Pakistani militant Islamic leader who some 20 years ago organized a group known in this country as Al-Fuqra, which literally means "the poor." It was made up primarily of African-Americans converts who live mostly in self-contained rural communities with their own schools and militias. They have a history of violence, for example murdering an Egyptian immigrant in Arizona in 1990 and recently a member of the California branch was arrested for killing a policeman. This is an extremely dangerous group, but I have no idea if Daniel Pearl was on the track of discovering something new about it . On your second point: I think that the anti-Israel, militant Islamic groups' four attacks on December 1st and 2nd, followed by the discovery of the Karine-A on January 3rd, caused the Bush administration to look at the Arab-Israeli conflict as something akin to our own war on terrorism. The same thing also happened, by the way, with respect to the Pakistan-India confrontation, caused by the attack on December 13th on the Indian parliament building. I think it's a fundamental reassessment. What that would mean in policy terms is not entirely clear, but there has been a transformed American policy towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Prior to December 1st, every time the Israelis used force, a condemnation followed this department; such condemnations have not been forthcoming lately.") (January 30, 2002)
