Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syrian Attack: The Plot Thickens
2007-09-28
Iranian former deputy defense minister Ali Rheze Asgari supplied intelligence sources in the West with information regarding the sites that Israeli jets allegedly attacked on September 6, the Kuweiti Al Jareeda reported Friday.

Asgari defected from Iran several months ago and moved to an undisclosed location in the West.

In related news, the Saudi paper Al Watan reported Friday that American jets were hovering in Iraqi airspace close to the Syrian border during the raid. Reportedly, the USAF jets were meant to give aerial backup to Israel in case IAF warplanes would come to any harm.
Or maybe the Americans brought the cake to the party.

#10  Glad to see he's providing actionable intelligence.

Maybe. Or maybe this is disinformation leaked out to protect sources in Iran.

Apparently not. I believe Iran bought the same model. Anybody know?

#7  Haven't heard anything about Asgari since he defected. Glad to see he's providing actionable intelligence.

Must be working with the DOD instead of the CIA.

#6  Think of 'hovering' in this case, not of a helicopter or stationary in the sky type of hovering. Instead, think of your early courting years and that pain in the ass little brother / sister/ parental unit of your intended target (victim?/conquest?) would not friggin leave, but insisted on being RIGHT FRICKIN THERE!
THAT kind of hovering.....
