CLOAK AND DAGGER

Palestinian security uncovers Israelis posing as Al-Qaeda agents

A senior Palestinian security official claimed Saturday his services had uncovered an Israeli plot to create a mock Al-Qaeda cell in the Gaza Strip, while an Israeli official dismissed the charge as 'absurd'.
Gaza head of preventive security Rashid Abu Shbak told journalists at a press conference that Israeli agents, posing as operatives of Osama bin Laden's terrorist group, recruited Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
'Over the past nine months, we've been investigating eight cases in which Israeli intelligence posing as Al-Qaeda operatives recruited Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,' said Abu Shbak, referring to a series of e-mails and phone call conversations.

[Is Al Quaida a creation of the West? Remember that in the 1980s the US backed Osama bin Laden and his colleagues to the tune of $3 billion to kill Soviets. In 1982 the US provided billions to Saddam Hussein for weapons to kill Iranians and then in 2000-2001 the US gave Taliban-ruled Afghanistan $245 million in "aid".]
