Assad Purges Armed Forces, Keeps up Anti-US Terror Front

June 22, 2004, 3:31 PM (GMT+02:00)

Obeying a tradition of more than a quarter of a century, the Syrian army shifts some officers around twice a year - in summer and winter. It is a game of musical chairs with little impact on the armed forces as a whole. This time was different. On June 1, DEBKA-Net-Weekly exclusive military sources uncovered the largest single purge in the annals of Syria’s armed forces that was carried out on the orders of President Bashar Assad. Forty percent of the staff officers with the general command in Damascus were dismissed or forced into retirement; half the Syrian divisional commanders in Syria and Lebanon relieved of their duties – laid off or assigned to minor staff positions in Damascus and elsewhere. The top level of the Syrian air force has been peeled off and replaced with younger men – except for the top commander and the head of its intelligence branch.

Clearing the Decks for Jimmy

March 26, 2004, 3:55 PM (GMT+02:00)

The process of selecting Gemal Jimmy Mubarak to succeed his 76-year old father as Egyptian president is nearly over, notwithstanding Mubarak Sr.’s denials. A book just out in Cairo, “Gemal Mubarak – Revival of National Liberalism,” performs an excellent PR job on the incoming president. The book, clearly written to order by Gahad Awda, a member of the ruling party’s central committee, introduces young Mubarak’s political agenda and his vision for the future of his country. Much less glossy reading matter was handed to President Hosni Mubarak earlier this month. It was put in his hands, gift-wrapped as a special package, ahead of his trip to Washington next month.

On May 19, DEBKA-Net-Weekly revealed its contents: a large stack of Iraqi intelligence documents that US forces seized in Baghdad and which expose the deep penetration of the Mubarak regime achieved by the deposed Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein.

X Revealed as Ranan Lurie

March 19, 2004, 9:38 AM (GMT+02:00)

David Ben Gurion interviewed by Ranan Lurie

No secret agent ever admits freely to being spy, certainly not someone like internationally known political cartoonist ex-Israeli Ranan Lurie, who today resides in New York. So it was not surprising that in his exclusive interview with DEBKAfile, the artist, whose finely detailed caricatures of world leaders are familiar to readers everywhere, was reluctant to part with too many details of his own undercover past. The interview moves from questions about the Mossad’s purchase of a weekly magazine in Israel to provide the young cartoonist with a springboard to international journalism, to the training given every U.S. agent, including lessons in guerrilla warfare and parachute jumps with the 101st Airborne Division.

The Double Life of the Media Celeb

March 16, 2004, 12:38 AM (GMT+02:00)

On a mission in 1950s

In just a few weeks, X will step out from the extraordinary cover under which he lived and operated in secret for half a century as a spy for the Israeli Mossad and US Central Intelligence Agency. He does not promise to tell quite all, but what he has to disclose is sensational enough to cause a flutter in many quarters. DEBKAfile was given an exclusive advance peek at these about-to-be-revealed secrets. At the early age of 16, Mossad headhunters spotted X’s potential as a high-flying media star and began the long process of grooming him for the task of moving with ease around the most powerful circles of international influence. After five years of basic studies, he spent another five at the Mossad “Academy” being exhaustively tutored for his role as future super-spy, a career on which he embarked in the early 1950s.

Assassinations Integral to al Qaeda’s Terror Agenda

December 28, 2003, 7:47 PM (GMT+02:00)

Twice lucky

Al Qaeda’s determined assassination attempts on Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf on December 14 and again on the 25th bring to mind an ominous sequence that preceded the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on New York and Washington. Two days earlier, on September 9, al Qaeda assassins murdered Ahmad Shah Massoud, semi-legendary leader of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden and his chief lieutenant, Dr Ayman Zawahiri, sent a group of suicide bombers to pose as journalists and kill Massoud while pretending to interview him. A bomb hidden in either a belt or a television camera detonated and killed the opposition leader, famous for his role in the campaign to drive the Red Army out of the country in the late 1980s and with a good chance of ousting the Taliban-al Qaeda regime. To subscribe to DEBKA-Net-Weekly click HERE .The Afghan hero’s assassination turned out to have been a pre-emptive tactic of al Qaeda’s for wiping out America’s chief ally in Afghanistan and so undercutting the Bush administration’s retaliatory resources in advance of its horrendous airborne airborne suicide strikes in the United States.
