Exploding toy planes - the next threat to Israeli security? - Jane's International Security News Reports that Palestinian militants were acquiring model aircraft for conversion into 'flying bombs' first reached the Israeli intelligence community around a year ago, David Eshel writes. Use of explosive-laden model aircraft is not the only potential form of airborne terrorism which concerns the Israeli defence community, however. An eyewitness in Gaza told JTIC that he heard the sound of an Israeli helicopter in the vicinity before the explosion took place: an indication that the device could have been detonated by remote control. www.janes.com /security/international_security/news/jtic/jtic030225_1_n.shtml   (676 words)

C4I.org - Teaching Intelligence: Getting Started - John MaCartney This ongoing reform effort is known within the Intelligence Community as "SMO," Support to Military Operations, and many argue that the pendulum has now swung to far towards SMO and away from support to national decision makers. Both US and Israeli intelligence failed to provide warning to their respective policymaking masters of the Arab surprise attack in the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Intelligence is a very important input to foreign policy, but intelligence officers and agencies do not themselves make or even weigh-in on policy decisions. www.c4i.org /teachintel.html   (9267 words)

Israel Targets Leading Islamic Jihad Operative Israeli intelligence held him responsible for a number of bombing and shooting attacks in which civilians were killed, among them the 1995 suicide bombing at the Beit Lid junction. Abdel-A'ael was also accused of the shooting death of an Israeli soldier in 1994, as well as the construction of several of the bombs used in recent attacks against civilian and IDF targets around the Gaza Strip community of Morag. Israeli security sources say that the PIJ is increasingly working in cooperation with Yasser Arafat's security forces and with Hamas to coordinate attacks. www.ict.org.il /spotlight/det.cfm?id=587   (9267 words)

Friendless Fire? A total of 34 men died, with another 172 wounded, many disfigured for life, among the highest peacetime tolls for any noncombatant U.S. Navy vessel and by far the worst single loss to the U.S. intelligence community. The implications of an Israeli attack on a Soviet vessel in peacetime require no elucidation. Ennes, a retired Navy lieutenant commander, was officer of the deck before being badly wounded early in the attack. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/929570/posts   (4600 words)

AllRefer.com - Israel - Intelligence Services Israeli Information Resource Many observers regarded Israel's intelligence community as among the most professional and effective in the world and as a leading factor in Israel's success in the conflict with the Arab states. Military intelligence was under the jurisdiction of the minister of defense, acting through the chief of staff. Military intelligence, the Intelligence Branch of the general staff (Agaf Modiin--known as Aman), had responsibility for collection of military, geographic, and economic intelligence, particularly within the Arab world and along Israel's borders. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/israel/israel186.html   (358 words)

The Black Panther Party and Palestine Solidarity - Palestine Solidarity Review According to the FBI’s Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), a campaign by the state to disrupt domestic radical political organizations, the BPP was said to be one of the major threats to American national security in the twentieth century. These included other Black Power groups support of Palestine, such as SNCC’s and the League of Revolutionary Black Workers’, as well as the Ocean Hill-Brownsville (Brooklyn, NY) public school strike for Black community control which clashed with the predominantly Jewish teachers’ union. Newton was seeking to demonstrate “the Black Panther Party [was] internationalist,” and this meant not just international solidarity with all peoples oppressed by white supremacy but international resistance against all whom he understood to be the bodyguards of capital. www.psreview.org /content/view/7/68   (358 words)

MidEast Web - History 1948 Intelligence Report The Israelis failed to dislodge the British trained and equipped Jordan Legion from Latrun in three costly attacks. The defeat of the Jewish Yishuv (settlement community in Palestine) seemed inevitable to many, and prompted US support for a trusteeship plan that would postpone implementation of independence for Israel and Palestine. From the Jewish point of view, the situation became quite desperate, as attested by the intelligence report below, prepared in March 1948. www.mideastweb.org /jeruint.htm   (2115 words)

Why Israel Was Surprised In October, 1973 The Agranat Commission does not acknowledge that the flaws within the Israeli intelligence community were known to the Prime Minister and other government officials, but just that the flaws were identified earlier and not acted upon. The Agranat Commission, while clearly laying blame on the Military Intelligence Branch of the IDF, also pointed out flaws known to exist in the intelligence community a decade earlier. Summary of failures and reasons for being surprised A. Intelligence failure B. Parlimentary failure Why Israel was Surprised In October, 1973 The Israeli Cabinet was still in session at 1400 on 6 October 1973 when they received word that the Egyptians and the Syrians had simultaneously attacked Israel. www.globalsecurity.org /intell/library/reports/1990/LKA.htm   (378 words)

Bush Deal with Iranians The search included public records, classified information and information from highly reliable sources within the intelligence community. Russbacher's background in the intelligence community has been independently verified by many intelligence sources throughout the United States. The Israelis, because of their role of mediator between the United States and Iran and also as the deliverers of U.S. weapons to Iran after the conclusion of the meetings, are believed to have arranged the meetings in the first place. www.sonic.net /sentinel/usa3.html   (13108 words)

AlterNet: Report Raises More Questions About 9/11 In April 2001 an intelligence report said that Al Qaeda was in the throes of advanced preparation for a major attack, probably against an American or Israeli target. The attacks of September 11 might have been prevented had the U.S. intelligence community been more competent. As a result, the community missed opportunities to disrupt the September 11 plot by denying entry to or detaining would-be hijackers; to at least try to unravel the plot through surveillance and other investigative work within the United States; and, finally, to generate a heightened state of alert and thus harden the homeland against attack. www.alternet.org /story.html?StoryID=16494   (2170 words)

Jonathan Pollard - Stormfront White Nationalist Community One former Israeli intelligence official recalled that Peres and Rabin, both very sophisticated in the handling of intelligence, were quick to ask, as the official put it, "Where are we getting this stuff?" They were told, the Israeli added, that Israeli intelligence 'has a penetration into the U.S. intelligence community.' Both men let it go. In all, he sold the KGB the names of twenty-five “sources.” These twenty-four men and one woman, all Russians, were immediately arrested and ten were sentenced to what the KGB euphemistically referred to as vyshaya mera (the highest measure of punishment). The article blames Ames for betraying to the Soviets the names of every Soviet official who was cooperating with the CIA in 1985. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?t=216322   (3369 words)

Ephraim Kam - STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT, Vol 7 No 2 In the 1970s, the Agranat Commission recommended incorporating greater pluralism into the intelligence community by strengthening the research bodies within the Mossad and the Foreign Ministry so that decision-makers could receive more than one assessment. On the contrary, the committee is justified in stressing the necessity of tightening up the political echelon's supervision of the intelligence community. The Committee of Inquiry strove to preempt this question, arguing that it would be best to reform the intelligence community in order to prevent future serious failures. www.tau.ac.il /jcss/sa/v7n2p4Kam.html   (3369 words)

indymedia beirut SENSATIONAL REVELATIONS IN A NEW BOOK 10.09.2003 09:25 Zeira argued before the commission that the Mossad's agent was, in fact, a double agent and was transmitting false information in order to put Israeli intelligence to sleep, as in the story of the boy who "cried wolf." The doubts also spread among senior officials in the intelligence community. The intelligence failure in the war was due to the refusal by Israel's intelligence chiefs - especially Military Intelligence, led by Eli Zeira and Arieh Shalev - and by Prime Minister Meir and Defense Minister Dayan to believe that Egypt was capable of launching a war. beirut.indymedia.org /en/2003/09/462.shtml   (3668 words)

'Israel and the Bomb' : Documents : Dimona Revealed Israel started the construction work at the Dimona site sometimes in early 1958, but it took the United States intelligence community almost three long years to "discover" the site for what it was, namely, a nuclear site under construction. The late discovery of Dimona was clearly a major blunder of the American intelligence community. The purpose of the meeting was to form a policy on the Israeli nuclear matter, given the imminence of publicity. www.gwu.edu /~nsarchiv/israel/documents/reveal   (1197 words)

War Without End :: View topic - IRAQ WAR FOR ISRAEL ACCORDING TO JAMES BAMFORD's NEW BOOK The two names were finally given to the State Department on Aug. 23, 2001.But the intelligence community's shaky performance also made the agency vulnerable to another kind of attack: the one mounted by a group of hard-line neoconservatives who took over at the Pentagon and in the Vice President's office when Bush became President. The result was a war sold largely on a fiction, confected from unchecked rumor and biased informants.A Pretext for War is probably the best one-volume companion to the harrowing events in the war on terrorism since 1996, chiefly because it focuses on the most difficult to pierce subject: the hidden machinery of U.S. intelligence. By May 1967, taking the threats seriously, the Israeli leaders devised a battle plan that incorporated a preemptive attack to wipe out the Arab military forces in Egypt in one felt swoop, with subsequent follow-on attacks on the Syrians and Jordanians. www.warwithoutend.co.uk /zone0/viewtopic.php?t=16388   (1197 words)

CSI Newsletter Spring 1996 Bill's directorship got off to a wobbly start when, just days after becoming DCI, he and the Intelligence Community did not alert policymakers that Syria and Egypt were about to invade Israel. Colby's predecessor, Schlesinger, had long enjoyed Nixon's confidence and now sat atop the lions share of the Intelligence Community's people and budgets. It was no help to Bill that the Israelis themselves had not expected this sudden Yom Kippur war. www.cia.gov /csi/bulletin/csi5.htm   (1197 words)
