US Helped Mossad Agents
Flee Iraq After Blast

(Mehr News Agency) -- The U.S. Central Command helped 15 Mossad agents
involved in the assassination of Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer al-Hakim to
flee Iraq, an Egyptian weekly magazine disclosed on Monday.
Ayatollah Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Assembly for the Islamic
Revolution in Iraq (SAIRI), was killed in a massive car bomb blast in
the holy city of Najaf on August 7. The blast left 82 killed and more
than 100 wounded.
The U.S. Central Command was sure that the agents of the Zionist
intelligence service Mossad had planned and executed the assassination
with the help of some elements from the U.S. and Iraqi spies, Al-
Osboa' weekly said.
The U.S. Centcom acquired conviction about the plot after examining
the explosives used in the operation; the explosives -- which were
highly advanced -- are used only by Mossad, the weekly added.
As a consequence, the Mehr News Agency now initially breaks the story
about the Mossad involvement in the killing of the prominent Iraqi
Shiite leader.
An Iraqi political analyst said that evidence of Mossad involvement
has been found at the Najaf blast site. The analyst, speaking on
condition of anonymity, told the Mehr News Agency that Zionist
intelligence agents have made great efforts to infiltrate Iraqi groups
in order to thwart efforts to create national unity.
After Saddam Hussein was ousted, the Zionist regime took advantage of
divisions among the Iraqi Shi'ites and sent a large number of
extremist Jews and Mossad agents to Iraq, with the help of the
occupying forces, to infiltrate Islamic groups and obtain information,
the analyst said.
He added that a few months ago, a Mossad agent who knew Arabic and was
quite familiar with Iraqi Muslim groups made a great effort to
infiltrate organizations in southern Iraq and even influenced these
groups.
He stated that there are reports that the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq
Organization (MKO) is helping Zionist operatives in Iraq and is
receiving direct help from U.S. troops, adding that there is a written
agreement to this effect.
Saddam supported the MKO for years and ordered MKO members to spy on
and wage war against the Iraqi Shia.
The main goal of the Zionists is sowing discord among Muslims,
especially the Shia, because they are aware of the people's great
attachment to clerics such as martyr Ayatollah Baqer al-Hakim, who
have been making efforts to unite the people in order to prevent the
domination of Iraq and the plunder of its resources.
While not ruling out the possibility of the involvement of extremist
groups such as Al-Qaeda in the blast in Najaf, Mehr Agency's source
noted, "Of course, I think the massive propaganda by the pro-Western
media and the emphasis on blaming Al-Qaeda or remnants of the Baath
Party should be considered a conscious effort to conceal the role of
Zionist and occupying forces in this abominable atrocity."
He said that increased insecurity and the outbreak of a civil war
among Muslims, especially the Shia, could be used as an excuse for
continuing the occupation of Iraq, adding that U.S. troops' refusal to
maintain security at religious sites is part of this plot.
