| Mossad Delegation Visits Baghdad |
| 2003-09-03 |
| A Kurdish official revealed that an Israeli security delegation visited Baghdad on August 22 and 23, in order to coordinate with U.S. intelligence on the issue of terrorism. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, informed Al-Hayat that the mentioned delegation carried out a field tour in Baghdad, and an air tour in a U.S. helicopter above Mosul, Tikrit and Ramadi. "And if you look out the window on your right, you’ll see the house where we bagged Sammy’s boys." The source insisted that a U.S.-Israeli security coordination in Iraq had become necessary to both parties, in light of reports mentioning the growing influence of Al Qaeda and Ansar Al-Islam, and as a result of serious fears from a security cooperation between Iran and Syria, which the U.S. and Israel believe will be targeted against them. Agreed. Following meetings with Iranian political and military officials two days ago, Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had mentioned that a Zionist delegation visited Baghdad, without identifying the nature of its mission. They have their own sources on the ground. The Kurdish official added that the U.S. Central Intelligence could have sought the help of Mossad against "terrorist" organizations active in Baghdad. He added that the "Americans are contacting intelligence forces in the region in order to coordinate on security issues and strengthen the means of fighting terror in Iraq." That’s funny, I could have sworn this story was from Dar Al Hayat. (scratchs head) Son of a gun, it is! Jews visiting Baghdad and not one drop of spittle. |

| #1 not sure if the article is accurate, but Mossad's ties to the Kurds go way back. |
