DANGEROUS SKIES, DANGEROUS TIMES

Editor’s Brief Notes:

There is a most disturbing and highly secret report being poured over by intelligence analysts around the world... al-Qaida has embarked upon a terror programme that involves operatives having explosives sewn into their bodies - theresultant scar tissue made to look like any post-operation mark. We don’t mind delivering this news, because the publicare entitled to know. This menacing move is to defeat security measures at airports around the world and create havocand fear in the skies. Three months ago an intel report from the CIA warned that the terror group’s bombers were intraining with their handlers to ingest explosives, but the new memo is by far more alarming. Eye Spy has since learnedthe bombs are designed in such a fashion they can be detonated by cell phones.

Al-Qaida and its followers are now resorting to methods never seen or confronted before by counter-terrorist organisa-tions. Moves are afoot to address this hitherto unknown scenario.

Perhaps equally alarming are the actions and screams of civil liberty groups and human rights’ activists who have voicedconcern over the new millimeter wave scanners that are being installed in many airports. That they can see “privateparts” and are “intrusive” are just some of the comments being made. What absolute nonsense and naivety. It seems tome that some folks seem oblivious to the chilling plots currently being hatched by al-Qaida against all air travellers,regardless of their race, religion, colour or creed. These are dangerous times and the authorities must do everythingpossible to protect ALL passengers. And if a 15-second scan is required, then so be it. If persons don’t want to do this...then can I suggest a boat or shank’s pony.

In the last few months al-Qaida operations against the free world have increased. Its operatives killed six CIA staffersin Afghanistan in a ruse drawn from the training book of the Agency itself. They have launched Mumbai-type attacksin several cities; attempted to bring down an airliner over Detroit, while a terror supporter from within the ranks ofthe US Army itself shot dead 14 base personnel at Fort Hood. There are dozens more instances of active terror cellsand lone operatives launching attacks, including an assassination attempt in Denmark, the blowing up of a train inAmerica, and the crashing of an airliner on London, New York or Washington DC.

Worryingly, are the contents of three UK intelligences files that have been circulating around Whitehall for the lastfew weeks. One notes that the Ministry of Defence and its armed forces may soon be fighting a new kind of war... anunconventional war that may in part be played out on the streets of Britain. The second concerns a genuine fear that achemical or biological attack will take place sooner rather than later. And thirdly, that the threat of terrorism in theUK at least, is not being properly addressed or at the very least, is not understood by some government ministers.

And while all of this goes on, there are some who argue airport scanners that can see all the bumps and lumps shouldnot be used. Astonishing.

In this edition of Eye Spy we take a look at recent terrorist events associated with air travel, and the efforts currentlyon-going to protect travellers. There’s also our usual serving of espionage, intelligence and associated stories.

EYE SPY

THE DETROIT OPERATIONWORLDWIDE HUNT FOR “SPECIALIST TERRORISTS”

Eye Spy has learned that several intelligenceservice heads, including the D/CIA, secretly met inLondon to discuss the circumstances that alloweda suspected terrorist operative to fly to Americaand almost bring down a packed airliner carryingnearly 300 passengers over the city of Detroit.Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who untilrecently studied mechanical engineering at theUniversity College London (UCL), was almost theperfect operative - and once again showed howthe terror group has fashioned a system to beateven the best security in Europe and America.

The plot, though hatched in Yemen, Africa, sadlyreveals how London has become central toal-Qaida’s recruiting and planning arm, despiteinitial Foreign Office messages to the contrary.Here, al-Qaida has fashioned an underworld torecruit and hide, and then send its operatives tolocations across the globe. Abdulmutallabundoubtedly met his al-Qaida contact man in theUK, probably a loose associate of US Army MajorNidal Malik Hasan, the crazed terroristsympathiser who gunned down 14 army basepersonnel at Fort Hood in November 2009.

earlier stating - “...it will be like lighting upa Christmas tree on Christmas Day. Andthough the data was passed to the relevantsecurity services, it could not be linked toAbdulmutallab in Yemen. More relevantintelligence picked up by the US Intelli-gence Community is published in EyeSpy’s story.

As for al-Qaida’s Yemen-based planners,they easily circumnavigated poor securityand intelligence measures designed to stopsuspected terrorists boarding flights to theWest - this by selecting a route to the USAdesigned to bypass US watchers. Some ofAbdulmutallab’s fellow “terror cellstudents” fled after elements of the CIA’s Trans Sahara unit targeted atraining camp only to turn up in India. Here, that country’s intelligenceservice - RAW, exposed another fiendish airline plot. This forced MI5 andthe FBI to act. Eye Spy reveals just what al-Qaida had planned.

The background on this case, Abdulmutallab’s liaisons in London and elsewhere, plus the inside storyof the Detroit and Indian plots. And how the US and UK intelligence services’ research mechanismfailed to spot the fabulously rich “baby-faced” bomber.

THE SYRINGE BOMBERSEYE SPY IDENTIFIES NEW BOMB DELIVERY SYSTEMTerror group is receiving guidance from a menacing new teacher

When CIA agents searched one abandonedal-Qaida camp following bin-Laden’s quick exitfrom Afghanistan in late 2001, they discovered allthe trappings of a macabre human and animalresearch and experimental test laboratory.However, they also found many documents whichclearly showed whoever was there, had a gooddeal of experience in engineering, medicine andexplosives. In short, they were professionals.

EXTRACT: “...MI5 and the FBI knew thatAbdulmutallab was not the first al-Qaida operative to use the “syringe IED”. The terror group hadtrained its operatives to use this detonation method in the failed July 2007 London plot and....”

Since hisarrest on 3 October 2009, in the USA, a number of sources have claimed Headley has a USintelligence background... Eye Spy investigates.

45 MINUTES WMD LAUNCH POTENTIAL & SEXED-UP DOSSIERDr David Kelly (left) provided BBC man Andrew Gilligan with

enough information to cast doubt on credibility of government’sintelligence dossier on Saddam’s weapons

CULT OF CONSPIRACYCALLS TO REOPEN FILE ON DEATH OF DR DAVID KELLY

The circumstances surrounding the death ofMinistry of Defence contract scientist - DrDavid Kelly, famously remembered as the manwho originally found Saddam’s deadly anthraxstockpiles following the first Gulf War, remainsa topic for debate and gross opportunism, andsadly, the odd foolhardy hoaxer. However, thereare several eminent professionals who stillbelieve not all has been revealed about hissudden death.

Kelly provided Andrew Gilligan, then a journalistwith the BBC, with a deep insight into thegovernment’s claim that Iraq had weapons ofmass destruction, and that it was capable oflaunching an attack on the West in just 45minutes. Kelly said the “dossier” which heldthe findings, was both inaccurate and dramaticin nature, and should not be considered 100per cent bona fide. These words were spokenat a secret meeting in the Charing Cross Hotel,London, and soon appeared in the wider media:the phrase “sexed up WMD dossier” was beingspoken during every news bulletin.

After immense pressure from the government and his employer, Dr Kelly killed himself in woodlandnear his home in Oxford. That’s the official version, but now there is real pressure to look again at theevidence and if the book is reopened, some researchers believe there will be lots of awkwardquestions to answer...

INTELLIGENCE IN CAMERASUS LOSES PATIENCE WITH SECOND-RATE AIRPORT SECURITY

Following the latest attempt to cause masscasualties by way of an aeroplane bomb,America’s security services have introducednew counter-measures that have been mootedfor years, stalled only by the concerns of a fewmisguided civil liberty groups more interestedwith human rights’ and ‘personal privacy’rather than passenger safety. One piece oftechnology is the millimeter wave scanner thatprovides far greater detail than conventional x-ray machines. This alone, however, might nothave prevented al-Qaida bomberAbdulmutallab from passing through SchipholAirport unnoticed.

The UK’s chief security man - Lord West, saidhe wants to see more “sniffer dogs” at airportcheck-ins. “The dogs would have been alertedto Abdulmutallab by way of the explosives hewas carrying,” said Lord West. “It’s unlikely x-ray machines would have picked him out.” Asfor delays caused by additional securitychecks, including going through the “see all”millimeter wave scanner, most passengerswere concerned only in safety. Eye Spy looksat the technology being introduced at airports.

COUNTERMEASURESAIRLINE INTELLIGENCE

Eye Spy examines the challenges facing the intelligence andsecurity world in respect of air passenger safety as it battleswith an ever more cunning and dangerous opponent. Butwhat are the countermeasures currently deployed by theworld’s most secure airline - El Al?

EXTRACT: What’s not widely known isthat al-Qaida has set about recruitingpeople who will swallow tubes ofexplosives, or insert them into bodyorifices and then board the aircraft...

There is even a CIA report suggesting bombsare being implanted into people’s bodies bysurgeons to avoid detection. Once airbornethe bombs are keyed in such a manner thatthey can be detonated using a cell phone. TheCIA has also learned of another proposeddetonation method that involves drinking asubstance, but for security reasons can’t bedivulged here.

Most regulations surrounding the carrying ofcell phones in hand luggage have long sincebeen dropped and passengers are allowed totake such devices on board, indeed manyairlines even allow their use. It’s the samewith plasticated bottled fluids. These are factsthat the public are entitled to know - but thereis more...

OPENING PANDORA’S BOX - A5/1 CHAOS?CELL PHONE SECURITY CODE CRACKED

Before an announcement from Germany, thatincidentally should concern about 80% of theworld’s cell phone users, few people had everheard of Karsten Nohl. He’s a German computerexpert who just happens to be very good atcracking the algorithm used to encrypt calls usingGSM-based technology (amongst other things).In January 2010, Nohl declared he had broken acode that was regarded by most security expertsas “untouchable”. Using a batch of joined-upcomputers, a few friends (some would call themhackers) and a little patience, Nohl’s team quietlynumber crunched billions of numbers and combinations - the secret codes which protect most cellphones. And then suddenly the data made sense. Before a host of interested parties could voice theirobjections, Nohl uploaded his research on to the Internet - much to the delight of the hacking world.

Eye Spy looks at the implications of Nohl’s work and also provides arevealing insight into just how easy it is to bug a cell phone and listenin... and now it can be done for about £1,500 and from anywhere in theworld... we reveal how!

TRIPLE AGENTCIA FIELD STATION SECURITY BREACHED

Security was breached at a front-line US military and intelligence basein eastern Afghanistan by the Taliban and al-Qaida in a deadly attackwhich left six CIA employees, including three senior officers, dead. AGID (Jordanian Intelligence) officer named as Captain Ali bin Zaid,who was a member of the country’s royal family, also perished.Several other personnel were slightly injured in a carefully plannedoperation that took al-Qaida planners months to prepare, and onewhich has raised many questions about the Agency’s use of “thirdparty” agents.

Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, was both a doctor and al-Qaidaoperative who came from the same village as the notorious AbuMusab al-Zarqawi, the deceased head of al-Qaida in Iraq. Al-Balawiwas captured by Jordanian forces in 2009, and had agreed to helpboth the CIA, and Jordan’s intelligence service - GID in the heart ofAfghanistan. His dangerous role was stage-managed and enabled himto first make contact with the Taliban and then infiltrate its and al-

Qaida’s hierarchy. Indeed, Al-Balawi,36, had been in Afghanistan forseveral months mixing with hardenedterrorists, visiting villages and identi-fying targets for the CIA. Controlledby Zaid, his Jordanian handler,Langley believed he was providingexcellent intelligence to the CIA.

But it was all a ruse, and besides the biggest loss of CIA agents sincethe 1980s, Langley is now analysing a great deal of information givento them by Al-Balawi which is almost certainly disinformation.

Eye Spy examines in detail how some of the Agency’s mostexperienced field officers were seemingly duped...

EXTRACT: Retired CIA staffers say HumamKhalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi’s actions in out-flanking the CIA at Forward Operations BaseChapman (FOBC), were carefully managed byal-Qaida’s planners.

Other Langley officials have quietly admittedthat several key intelligence procedures werenot followed - the primary one being nevermeet with an informant or agent at a base orfield station. “Taliban and al-Qaida spies areeverywhere in Afghanistan - even entering andworking on our own bases,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Tony Shaffer, a trained intelligenceofficer with threads to the CIA and DIA. “Al-Balawi’s coming and goings would have beenreported upon by these spies.” This wascountered by CIA Director Leon Panetta whosaid the situation in this part of the world wasvery different to those where such “rules” apply. “In the barren landscape outside Khost, things suchas ‘safe’ houses - a staple of traditional espionage - are not easily found,” said Panetta. “This was nota question of trusting a potential intelligence asset, even one who had provided information that wecould verify independently. It is never that simple, and no one ignored the hazards.”

Eye Spy provides a deep insight into the “promise” that lured CIA officers straight into a trap...

MIND CONTROL PRINCIPLESIN THE INTELLIGENCE WORLD - PART 3Mike Finn takes a serious and objective look at mind control and manipulation in the intelligence game..

Finn looks at the way in which certain chemicals and drugs can and have been used to control aperson’s mind, and how others can effect those making important decisions.

EXTRACT: I remember as a police officer in the 1960s, attempting to rescue a girl on a window ledge,who saw everyone who approached her as a giant spider. Apart from the disturbing trips themselves,there is the ‘knock-on’ effect of potential danger or death during the negative side of these alteredstates of consciousness. The use of drugs and chemicals in mind control experiments is an undeni-able fact, various nations have and are exploring many avenues of viability. I will try to present asimplistic overview of the use of drugs and chemicals in mind manipulation.

DE FACTO CIA STATION CHIEFHERO: CANADIAN DIPLOMAT WAS CIA’S “EYES AND EARS”

28 January 2010, marked the 30th anniversaryof an event that stunned the world, whenCanada’s ambassador to Iran, Ken Taylor,masterminded the exfiltration of US diplomatsfrom Tehran. Now, intelligence watchers arewarning that the Canadian Embassy in Iran couldbe perceived as a “nest of spies” after it emergedTaylor had also been providing intelligence toWashington officials during the Islamicrevolution.

Trent University historian Robert Wright, authorof Our Man in Tehran, has written an account ofthe incident which suggests then Prime MinisterJoe Clark, insisted Taylor’s spying be kept secret.He was concerned the business would createhuge “negative political fallout” if the Canadianpublic learned that one of its envoys was effec-tively acting as an agent of the CIA. PresidentJimmy Carter had approached premier Joe Clarkand requested that Taylor forward informationthat would help prepare the way for a mostdangerous hostage rescue mission code-namedOperation Eagle Claw.

Eye Spy walks back in time to examine Taylor’s heroic role in an affair that stunned the world and hissecret role as the “eyes and ears” of the Central Intelligence Agency - or a “De Facto Station Chief”.Plus some fascinating facts and imagery of the failed operation that cost the lives of several US Spe-cial Forces soldiers.

CONNECTIONS: PRE-EMPTIVE CYBER STRIKESPENTAGON MUSES TAKING DOWN 15,000 “AL-QAIDA WEB SITES”

Senior Eye Spy US Associate Editor -Kevin Coleman examines a plethora ofdata which suggests the Pentagon isunsure whether it is right to considerlaunching pre-emptive cyber strikes onthousands of Internet web sitesshowing an affiliation or support of theal-Qaida terror group.

Coleman also provides plenty of casefiles that proves Osama bin-Laden hasa growing number of supporters in theUSA itself, and that in itself is evidenceWashington needs to act quickly.

THE NEW PROFESSIONALS100 YEARS OF BRITISH SECRET SERVICE

In the early 1970s, British Intelligence found itself at war with a most formidable and dangerous

foe - the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The experience gleaned in fighting an unseen enemy and

countering the terror group’s many overseas liaisons, would help MI5

and MI6 in future years. The IRA often targeted the Services’ senior

personnel, but more generally the agents and informants who

provided vital intelligence. The ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, as

they were known, was definitely not a sideshow, but the Secret

Service was still battling all manner of adversaries in the great

game of espionage... what emerged from these turbulent

times were

THE NEW PROFESSIONALS

This is the penultimate feature in Eye Spy’s year-long look at the birth, emergence and role of the

Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6) and Security Service (MI5)....

EXTRACT ONE: Reports started to emerge thatthe Soviet Navy, acting on instructions from theKGB, had in fact sunk the Gaul, or that she hadbeen struck by a nuclear submarine. Therewere also persistent rumours in the docks ofHull, that MI6 were “embedding” officers andtraining fishermen to spy and take photographsof Soviet ships. And when it was acknowl-edged in 2001, that a Hull sailor, a recruiter fortrawlers, by the name of ‘Commander Brookes’was in fact an MI6 officer, many observersthought the Gaul had been targeted by theRussians. It was later revealed in governmentpapers, that as many as 40 Hull-based trawlershad “carried MI6 men”.

ABSOLUTELY ENTHRALLING

MI5 were involved in acontroversial operation

in Gibraltar that sawthree unarmed IRA menshot dead by the SAS

EXTRACT TWO: The terror group’s most audacious attack happened in Brighton on 12 October 1984.Experienced IRA man Patrick Magee had booked into the Grand Hotel using a false name (Roy Walsh)weeks before the hotel hosted the Conservative Government’s annual conference. He hid a powerfulbomb in the upper part of the hotel hoping that once detonated, Mrs Thatcher and her entire Cabinetwould be killed. And the operation almost worked... the premier’s room was damaged, and five people,including MP Sir Anthony Berry, were killed. The next day an IRA statement was issued and included asentence which is often used today by counter-terrorist men reflecting on thwarted attacks: “Today wewere unlucky... but remember, we only have to be lucky once. You have to be lucky always...”

SURVEILLANCE TRADECRAFTINTERVIEW

Eye Spy interviews surveillance authorityPeter Jenkins about his new book -Surveillance Tradecraft.

EXTRACT: Eye Spy: There is a stereotype inmany minds of what constitutes the ‘typical’surveillance operator. Is there a ‘typical’ type?

PJ: The less “James Bond” the better. Remem-ber, the key is NOT to be seen... there’s also abig demand for female operators and over thepast two years some of the best operators we’vehad have been female. It’s also important to be able to multi task. There are so many things going onat once - maybe that’s why women do so well. You have to think tactically behind the target; give anaccurate radio commentary to colleagues, and react to the target accordingly. If the target stops, youhave to get in the best position possible so that you aren’t noticed; a position from where you canvideo, then identify any hazards from third parties and plan to get out on foot all in a split second.Doing all those things correctly at once can be very stressful....

“Today we were unlucky... but remember, we only have tobe lucky once. You have to be lucky always...”

LOCKERBIENEW RESEARCH PROMPTS DEBATESwiss bank accounts, JSO operations and new bomb blast evidence

create debate

A BBC film for its premier news programme - Newsnight, produced by PeterMarshall, has reopened the debate on a tiny fragment originating from a bombtimer, which helped convict Libyan JSO agent Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi

Critics and conspiracy theorists say al-Megrahi was “fitted up” by the CIA andBritish Intelligence, but even if one was to remove the fragment data, muchevidence against the Libyan Intelligence outfit - the JSO, still exists.

For example, Libya has always maintained that al-Megrahi was a “bit player” a“low-key airline agent” who operated in regions not thought crucial to Tripoli -hence his posting to Malta. This has always been rejected by the FBI and CIA,who linked the operative to several key parts of the Lockerbie operation.Indeed, Eye Spy has learned that far from being an“ordinary employee”, it has emerged he had nearly£2 million tucked away in a Swiss bank account in2000. One politician, Ben Wallace, commenting onthe discovery of the monies said: “I think this sug-gests that al-Megrahi far from being the wrong man,was an international co-ordinator of terrorism forLibya.”

Eye Spy also looks at vital evidence and someinteresting facts about al-Megrahi and his financialstatus that were never disclosed at his trial.

CYBER COMMANDERLEADERSHIP FOR CYBER MILITARIES

Kevin Coleman, one of the world’s leading authorities on Internet security has published amost controversial book that exposes a plethora of failing that he insists must be confrontedwith urgency...

EXTRACT: ...the issues of cyber security, cyber preparedness, and cyber warfare weighedheavily on the minds of the White House Defense Department, Homeland Security andFederal Law Enforcement leaders. Similar occurrences took place in the UK and memberstates of the European Union. This new class of weapon requires no special materials,virtually no infrastructure to produce, and the knowledge and skills required to create cyberweapons is widely available and taught in most schools. Every country, extremist group,criminal enterprise, terrorist organization and military is pursuing offensive, defensive andcyber intelligence capabilities. Some call it a new arms race. While that is indeed the case, Iwould add that the cruising speed for this race is at light speed.

If global conflict was not complex already, cyber conflict that use compromised computersin unwilling and unknowing intermediary countries to obscure the point of attack originationhas taken international complexity to an unprecedented new level. A recent documentcoming out of the United Nations begins to address the international agreements andcooperation needed to address the ever increasing threat of cyber war....

FROM EYE SPY

EXTRACT: Two years ago, a friend invited Huy to his London home to take a portrait of his family. Littledid he know then, that the job would take him into the shadowy world of spies and espionage. Afterthe photo shoot, his friend confided that he had recently retired from the “intelligence community”.Huy recalled his surprise: “I was gobsmacked, I had always imagined a spy as a ‘James Bond’-type,and I think most of us do. I decided to research the subject of spies from around the world and to dowhat I do best - photograph any former spy that would be willing to sit as my subject.”

Huy clearly didn’t feel his friend fitted the “archetypal image” of a spy... but then most “spies” don’t.And in any event, by way of his constant tramping around London’s pavements in search of his prey,Huy’s probably figured out by now that most spooks look just like everyone else and come in all sortsof colours, shapes, age groups and sizes...
