Israeli intelligence: Iraq financed attacks

GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT.COM Wednesday, September 12, 2001

Iraq recruited Saudi billionaire fugitive Osama Bin Laden and his Islamic
allies to carry out the suicide attacks around the United States, according
to Israeli intelligence.

Israeli officials and intelligence analysts said the suicide hijackings that
downed the World Trade Center and destroyed parts of the Pentagon was too
large an operation for any one group. The analysts said the operation was
also too big even for a coalition of Islamic terrorists headed by Saudi
billionaire fugitive Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden is accused of masterminding
the bombings of the U.S. embassies in eastern African in 1998.

Intelligence sources briefed the Cabinet of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on
late Tuesday, hours after the catastrophe in New York and Washington. The
sources were quoted as telling the Cabinet that a Middle East government was
probably the sponsor of the attack.

The most likely sponsor for such an attack, the sources said, is Iraq. The
Baghdad regime has long maintained an alliance with Bin Laden and Islamic
groups.

"All the steps lead to him [Bin Laden]," Reuven Paz, a leading expert on
Islamic terrorism, said. "Of all the countries, Iraq seems the most
reasonable [candidate]."

In Baghdad, Iraqi state television appeared to welcome the bombings. The
television said the spate of attacks demonstrated the vulnerability of the
United States.

"The massive explosions in the centers of power in America, notably the
Pentagon, is a painful slap in the face of U.S. politicians to stop their
illegitimate hegemony and attempts to impose custodianship on peoples," the
television said. "It was no coincidence that the World Trade Center was
destroyed in suicidal operations involving two planes that have broken
through all U.S. security barriers to carry the operation of the century and
to express rejection of the reckless U.S. policy."

"The collapse of U.S. centers of power is a collapse of the U.S. policy,
which deviates from human values and stands by world Zionism at all
international forums to continue to slaughter the Palestinian Arab people
and implement U.S. plans to dominate the world under the cover of what is
called the new [world] order," the television added. "These are the fruits
of the new U.S. order."

The Israeli Cabinet was informed that the United States might launch a
massive attack on Iraq and Afghanistan over the coming days. The sources
said such an attack could prompt a regional war.

On early Wednesday, Afghanistan appeared to have been a target of
retaliation. Several bombings were heard in the Afghan capital of Kabul.
U.S. officials denied that their country was responsible.

In the aftermath of the suicide bombings in the United States, Israel closed
its air space. Israel also warned the Palestinian Authority to immediately
stop all attacks against the Jewish state.
