8/30/2008: Intel News Brief: Dutch Intelligence Helped CIA Plan Attack
On Iran:
The biggest Newspaper in the Netherlands today devotes its front page
to news that the Dutch intelligence agency has helped the CIA prepare
for an air attack on Iran which it now believes is imminent.
AVID, Holland's military intelligence service, has pulled back from
operations it was carrying out inside Iran as it believes an American
led attack will go ahead within weeks according to De Telegraaf's
sources.
The headline reads:
"AIVD is calling back spy because of US plans ATTACK ON IRAN IMMINENT"
De Telegraaf reports that the decision has already been made by the
U.S. to attack Iran using unmanned aircraft. Potential targets are
said to be nuclear facilities and military installations. The latter
have been mapped by the CIA with the help of the Dutch secret service.
A portion of the article reads:
Good sources have declared to the Telegraaf that the AIVD has been
operating in Iran for the last few years with the purpose of the
infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry of the Iranian
republic.
The operations are said to have been "very successful" but have
recently been put to a halt because of american plans for an air
attack. Information regarding the AIVD operation has been shared with
the CIA in recent years according to the sources.
Iran is probably working towards an atomic bomb and refuses to
comply to western demands to stop enriching uranium. In june Israeli
vice president Shaul Mofaz made the statement that an Israeli attack
is inevitable if Iran continues its quest for atomic weapons.
