Media Shifts Attention from British SAS Screw Up to Iran
By Kurt Nimmo
Leave it up to the Moonie-owned (http://www.perkel.com/politics/moonies) United Press
International, UPI (http://truthnews.net/media/2000_05_upi.html) to attempt a
none-too delicate effort to steer attention away from the fact British covert intel
goons killed a cop and bystander and were caught red-handed cruising around Basra in
car loaded with explosives and detonators.
“Attacks on British forces in southern Iraq may be directed from Iran”, reports the
UPI. “The clashes and the arrest of two undercover British soldiers was almost
certainly triggered by the arrest at the weekend of Sheikh Ahmed al-Fartusi, the
leader of the Mahdi Army, a banned militia loyal to Moqtada Sadr”.

Indeed, al-Fartusi, commander of Mahdi’s militia in Basra, was arrested by the Brits
in a Gestapo-like raid, thus leading to “the spread of a great number of members of
Sadr Militia in Basra streets and the gathering of many of these men near a building
in the city center, which contains the headquarters of Sadr movement”, explains
al-Mendhar News. “Eyewitnesses said that they are still in their locations hiding
their weapons. Sheikh Mohamed Al Ka’bi, a member of Sadr trend in Baghdad, confirmed,
‘Our office in Basra ordered us to remain calm and adopt political means to release
our Sheikh and his men’”. http://www.almendhar.com/english_6289/news.aspx
Editors on the Moonie payroll grabbed their story from the Times. “Political
assassination, murder, smuggling and extortion: the activities of a 50-strong gang of
Iraqi policemen in Basra [dubbed the “al-Jameat gang”] whose members seized two
British servicemen on Monday were brought to the attention of the Iraqi government
six months ago, according to official sources in the city”, claims Anthony Loyd for
the Times, not making mention of the fact the arrested “British servicemen” were
dressed up as Arabs and driving around in a car packed with weapons and explosives.

According to Anthony Loyd, this “50-strong gang” of Iraqis, supposedly led by
al-Fartusi, is “allegedly connected to a terrorist cell responsible for recent
attacks on British units in the city”, a terrorist cell of course linked to Iran.
Al-Fartusi’s alleged
terrorist cell is said to be a splinter group of the Mahdi Army, whose followers
are loyal to Moqtada Sadr, the firebrand cleric at the centre of last year’s Shia
insurgency. Now more of a populist, political figure, Sadr is not believed to have
been aware, or in control, of al-Fartusi’s activities. Al-Fartusi, 32, had been
sacked from a command position in the Mahdi Army. Iran, however, was aware of his
operations. This year an influx of sophisticated shape-charge devices appeared in
southern Iraq. New methods and materiel bore the hallmarks of the Iranian-funded
Hezbollah movement.
Of course, it all makes sense—the irresponsible and impulsive Moqtada Sadr, who had
the impertinence to go up against the occupation when he should have had the common
decency to throw rose petals at the invaders, spawns a break-away gang involved in
“assassination, murder, smuggling and extortion”, and these ruthless thugs are
naturally linked to Iran and Hezbollah, thus attempting to buttress the
oft-demonstrated bogus claim outsiders are running the resistance in Iraq and maybe
stirring up trouble amongst pacified Shias in southern Iraq.
Instead of an explanation of why the Brits are running a pseudo-gang of phony-baloney
terrorists in wigs and headdresses—careless enough to blow their cover and get
apprehended red-handed with the goods—the British media is diverting attention away
from the exposed truth—the British SAS is responsible for at least some, probably a
lot of the terrorism in Iraq—and are brazenly attempting to shift blame in the
direction of Iran and Hezbollah, two of the usual suspects.
It should be obvious the two Brits arrested—and subsequently released after British
tanks knocked down the building where they were held—are part of a larger plan to
destabilize Iraq and foment civil war. Is it possible the Brits are behind a series
of suicide bombings in Basra (73 people were killed and 200 wounded, including the
incineration of 17 children, on April 21, 2004, and 68 were killed on June 24, 2004,
to name but two) or are we to believe it was the work of the Shia-hating al-Zarqawi,
determined, as we are told in various audio and video tapes released with curiously
appropriate timing, to wipe every Shia Muslim off the face of the earth?
“British military intelligence has concluded that Iran has been supporting a local
terror group run by Abu Mustafa al-Sheibani, who is blamed for the murder of at least
11 British soldiers. And in a secret report, military intelligence warned commanders
that attacks on British forces were being deliberately intensified”, concludes the
Moonie Times, excuse me United Press International.
Abu Mustafa al-Sheibani is “working for Iran”, warns Time Magazine. “According to a
U.S. military-intelligence document obtained by TIME, al-Sheibani heads a network of
insurgents created by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with the express purpose
of committing violence against U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq…. the U.S. believes
al-Sheibani’s team consists of 280 members, divided into 17 bombmaking teams and
death squads. The U.S. believes they train in Lebanon, in Baghdad’s predominantly
Shia Sadr City district and ‘in another country’ and have detonated at least 37 bombs
[described as “shaped” explosive charges] against U.S. forces this year in Baghdad
alone”. http://www.iraq4u.com/forum/m_5245/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#5245
Considering the track record of U.S. intelligence—from overthrowing democratically
elected governments (in Iran for example) to customizing lies in preparation for the
invasion of Iraq—we can trust the al-Sheibani campfire story about as far as we can
throw it.
In other words, it has about the same degree of veracity as the al-Zarqawi campfire
story—that is to say none, since virtually everything the U.S. and its corporate
media disinformation ministries write or report about al-Zarqawi is undocumented
fear-mongering.
As should be obvious, the Iraqi resistance has almost completely stalled the
Anglo-American effort to pacify the country and reconstruct (or rather deconstruct)
it into an acceptable model for the neocons and their carpet-bagging neolib
co-conspirators who entertained high hopes to “structurally adjust” the Iraqi economy
and steal its natural resources—not simply oil but also its minerals, natural gas,
phosphates, sulfur, hydropower, and other resources of commercially exploitable
importance, including cheap human labor.
In lieu of the neocon promise that Iraqis would welcome this thievery with open arms,
the Bushites and their British collaborators are working to split the country into
three distinct pieces along religious and ethnic lines through civil war—and thus SAS
goons (and their counterparts in the Pentagon who have yet to stupidly blow their
cover) are running around with explosives and detonators, pretending to be al-Zarqawi
Arabs engaged in a mindless jihad. Of course, it will not work and the Iraqis will
eventually be victorious.
Unfortunately, here in America, we have an installed president—not the guy from the
fake cowboy ranch in Texas, but the other guy, the chicken hawk from Wyoming—who
talks about lobbing around nukes if millions of people (mostly Arabs and Muslims) don’t
assume the position.
If indeed the Iraqis (and the Iranians) eventually eject the U.S. military from the
Middle East (as Hezbollah did in Beirut on October 23, 1983), irradiating the entire
region or at least significant portions will become a distinct possibility with the
current crew in control of the levers of mass murder.
Of course, this would only be an increase in magnitude, since the U.S. has already
nuked and poisoned Iraq (and Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia) with depleted
uranium (half-life of 4.5 billion years), a crime that rivals anything the Nazis have
done in terms of outright viciousness since Iraqis will be getting sick and dying
from various cancers for a very long time to come.
