	Iraqi Intelligence Service - IIS [Mukhabarat] - Iraqi Intelligence Agencies
		At the top of the pyramid, the Mukhabarat was responsible for watching the other police networks and controlling the activities of state institutions, the army, government departments and "non-governmental" organisations (youth, women, labour, etc.).
		Mukhabarat agents operated in State structures, in the various organisations and associations, in the diplomatic corps and abroad.
		With the Mukhabarat, in 1983, Barzan Al Tikriti organised the massacres of the villagers of Al Dujail and Jezan Al Chol, the disappearance of the Barzanis from the Qushtapa camp and the assassination of 90 members of Ayatollah Al Hakim's family.

	Trotsky versus Stalin in the Middle East
		Mukhabarat is a label for the establishment in charge of the internal security - the secret police.
		America is perceived by the Islamists as the lifeline of all the Mukhabarat regimes.
		The Islamic revolution is, first and foremost, an effort to replace the Mukhabarat regimes with the rule of the Islamic law (sharia).

		The Mukhabarat was desperate for a way to divert attention from the fact that it was behind the attacks against Iraqi civilians.
		The real danger in Iraq is not the inevitable defeat of the United States and the interim government of Iyad Allawi, but the fact that the longer it takes for the United States to realise that victory cannot be achieved, the more emboldened the Islamists become.
		Right now, the Mukhabarat controllers of the al-Zarqawi network think themselves clever as they watch the US military play into their hands through the destruction of Falluja, and the futile search for a phantom menace.

	ESPAC - Working for Peace in Sudan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sudan's Mukhabarat spent the early to mid-1990s amassing copious intelligence on Osama bin Laden and his leading cohorts at the heart of the al-Qaeda terrorist network-when they were still little known, and their activities were relatively limited.
		Some of the files at Mukhabarat headquarters identify individuals who played central roles in the suicide bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in August 1998; others chart the backgrounds and movements of al-Qaeda operatives who are said to be linked directly to the atrocities of September 11.
		In that year, the Mukhabarat learned that bin Laden had played host for a lengthy visit by Ayman al-Zawahiri, the founder of Egyptian Islamic had-a fundamentalist group, behind many armed attacks on Egyptian government ministers and officials, including the 1981 assassination of President Anwar el-Sadat.

	CIA recruits Iraq's feared secret police
		AMERICAN forces have launched a covert campaign to recruit former officers of the Mukhabarat, Saddam Hussein's infamous secret police, who were responsible for the deaths and torture of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
		The Mukhabarat was one of the best state security organisations in the world.
		Khalid's cell was one of several from the feared Fifth Section of the Mukhabarat that dealt ruthlessly with Iraqis spying for Syria and Iran.

		The material gathered between 1991 and 1996 led the Mukhabarat to believe that the two men were members of al-Qaeda; what is certain is that they had stayed in the Hilltop Hotel in Nairobi-the base used by other members of the embassy-bombings conspiracy.
		The Mukhabarat sent the suspects "Abbass" and "Suliman" to Pakistan, where they were promptly lost to view.
		Another subject of a Mukhabarat file is Mamdouh Mahmoud Salim, a Sudanese born to Iraqi parents, an Afghan-war veteran who worked for two bin Laden companies in Sudan until 1995.

	Guardian \| The coup that wasn't
		So the Mukhabarat's objective was not to obstruct our work; quite the reverse, they had an interest in getting the Iraqi experts who were our counterparts to cooperate.
		Then, through a series of tragic mistakes, the Mukhabarat took control of one of the CIA's secure satellite communications units used by the INA to communicate with the plotters in Baghdad.
		So the Mukhabarat learned every detail of the plan - including the fact that the CIA was linking the timing of the coup with the Unscom inspection in early June.

	Iyad Allawi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In December 2003, he flew to CIA headquarters in Langley together with fellow INA official Nouri Badran to discuss detailed plans for setting up a domestic secret service.
		The agency was to be headed by Badran, a former Ba'athist who served Saddam as an ambassador until 1990, and, controversially, recruit many agents of Saddam's Mukhabarat.
		He closed the Iraqi office of al-Jazeera and nominated Ibrahim Janabi, a former Ba'athist and Mukhabarat officer, to head the newly created media regulator.

		The documents show that the purpose of the meeting was to establish a relationship between Baghdad and Al Qaida based on their mutual hatred of America and Saudi Arabia.
		According to handwritten notes at the bottom of the page, the letter was passed on through another director in the Mukhabarat and on to the deputy director general of the intelligence service.

		It reports that dozens of these sadistic and brutal murderers are now employed by the US “for help in hunting resistance groups” within Iraq, as well as “identifying and tracking down Iraqis suspected of spying for Iran and Syria, the neighbouring countries most hostile to Washington”.
		In truth, this means tracking down anyone that could be involved in the ongoing and growing resistance to the US and British occupation, as it is now routine for the coalition to brand any acts of opposition to its illegal takeover of the country as the work of Saddam Hussein loyalists.
		With the Mukhabarat, however, the US is actually working with some of the staunchest defenders of the former dictator.

	Documents Indicate A.Q. Khan Offered Nuclear Weapon Designs to Iraq in 1990: Did He Approach Other Countries?
		One of the documents, a one-page memo from the Iraqi intelligence service (Mukhabarat), dated October 6, 1990 and addressed to a contact person in Iraq's main nuclear weapons program (codenamed PC-3), summarizes a meeting between members of the Mukhabarat and an intermediary, believed to have used the name "Malik," who said he represented A.Q. Khan.
		This memo states that the intermediary approached the Mukhabarat with the following offer: Khan was prepared to give Iraq project designs for a nuclear weapon and to provide assistance in enriching uranium and manufacturing a nuclear weapon.
		Another document, PC-3's response to the Mukhabarat office, shows PC-3 to be dubious about the offer and concerned that it could be a sting operation.

	* Sudan tried to give Clinton admin... Osama bin Laden.
		From the fall of 1996 until weeks before the September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, the Mukhabarat made repeated efforts to share its files on terrorists with the U.S. On more than one occasion senior F.B.I. officials wanted to accept the offers, but were apparently overruled by the State Department.
		Gutbi al-Mahdi, the Mukhabarat's director general between 1997 and 2000, claims that if the F.B.I. had taken his offer in February 1998, the embassy bombings could have been prevented: They had very little information at that time: they were shooting in the dark.
		And [had] photographs of them all." A senior official from Egyptian intelligence, who has worked closely with the Mukhabarat, substantiates the account: They knew all about them: who they were, where they came from.

		The difference between the Stasi and the Mukhabarat is the sheer volume of information collected by Saddam's henchmen.

		Up to mid-1989, observers concluded that the Mukhabarat continued to be generally effective in discouraging the expression of political dissent or political activities within Jordan.
		The campaign for the eighty contested seats was relatively free of voter intimidation, with the Mukhabarat keeping an uncharacteristically low profile.

		Abid, who was interviewed independently of Kassm, confirmed that Mukhabarat officers travelled routinely with pilgrims to Mecca to monitor the behaviour of Iraqi pilgrims and to recruit agents.
		In 1978, he said, the Mukhabarat was behind the murder of Gen Abdul Razzaq al-Hayef, a former Iraqi Prime Minister, outside a hotel in London.
