Call out for 200 'suspect spies'
2003-09-27
Around 200 persons, including Kuwaitis, have been summoned by security authorities on suspicion of spying for the former Iraqi regime, Al-Rai Al-Aam quotes reliable sources in the security sector as saying. "The 200 persons the security authorities have summoned include Kuwaitis whose mothers and wives are of Iraqi origin," the source said. Security authorities have information and documents from the former Iraqi intelligence agencies showing these persons involvement in two types of Iraqi intelligence gathering," the source added.
Oops. Hard to get around those archived records...
"The first involved Kuwaiti men, married to Iraqi women or those with Iraqi mothers, who established big companies funded by Iraqi intelligence. These firms were used as main information gathering centers and conduits for transferring money to intelligence units. "These people travelled to Jordan and entered Iraq without having their passports stamped and were specially trained on intelligence gathering techniques such as the use of secret ink, photography and others," the source continued.
I'd recommend the firing squad...
"The second method involved women of various Arab nationalities. They ran beauty shops and ladies' saloons and were recruited to get classified information from wives of Kuwaiti men who were working in sensitive positions," the daily said.
Jug time for these hussies...
