Friday, January 12, 2007 BREAKING NEWS - !!!
Reports from Tehran state that Iran's top IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) strategist, Hassan Abbasi, was captured in the recent raid on the Islamic Iran's office in Erbil, Iraq.
Referred to inside Islamic Iran as the Regime's version of Kissinger, Abbasi works directly as special advisor for the dead or dying Supreme Ruler in Iran - Ali Khamenei.
His attitude to the main competitor for the Supreme Leadership position, Hashemi Rafsanjani, as the telephone report elaborated, is "like a knife and cheese", meaning he hates Rafsanjani.
Abbasi has in the past indicated he has already chosen and set up attack capability on a large number of targets inside the USA and said the Islamic regime would wipe out the Western culture - as a whole - and replace it with Islam.
He also runs the "Freedom Organizations" an umbrella group, coordinating and networking every "anti-imperialism" terror group around the globe. Be it the IRA in Ireland or Japanese cults or Puerto Rican gangs in the USA. Anyone who is ready to disrupt their country and governments through acts of terrorism.
As the Islamic Regime's top tactician and strategist, his being found and caught in Iraq comes as little or no surprise when reorganization of the jihadists in Iraq has to be done to meet President Bush's new initiative.
In the past Abbasi was closely linked to the Islamic Regime's former MInister of Defense, Shamkhani and authored much of the plans to block the Persian Gulf as well as plans to insert the Ghods Brigades (Special Forces for overseas operations)into Iraq via the Basra area and the Northern Kurdish borders.
He has long established ties to the Kurds, who cooperate with him as part of the Freedoms Organizations in their quest for a Kurdish homeland.
Was the attack on the US Embassy in Greece a retaliation for this capture? It fits the Freedom Organizations type of activity and no other recent event clearly warrants this attack.
Pure, unfounded speculation: it could be a diversion to cover up or distract from Khamenei's death or even the "nuclear trigger" version of the explosion in the desert near Kerman.

How reliable is this source? I'm not familiar with it.
BTTT
Usually right on target
Was also first to break the nuclear type explosion in the Kavir desert of Iran.

"Reports from Tehran state that Iran's top IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) strategist, Hassan Abbasi, was captured in the recent raid on the Islamic Iran's office in Erbil, Iraq."
Come on. He was there on holiday.
This sounds like excellent news. They better not make any deals to return him to Iran.
Interesting.
BUMP
Abbasi has in the past indicated he has already chosen and set up attack capability on a large number of targets inside the USA and said the Islamic regime would wipe out the Western culture - as a whole - and replace it with Islam.
I hope they don't make any deal to send him back to Iran. If the Kurds do that then I would tend to wonder why we should help them as this Abbasi has plans for us and they don't sound too good. Replace western culture with Islam my arse.
Absolutely zero on earthquake maps of the area.
I'm not sure that the Kurds have him. The article doesn't really say. I was assuming at first that the U.S. got him but noticed that it wasn't specified so I considered it possible that the Iraqis might be in custody. Whoever has him better lock him up and bleed him for every bit of intel he can give up.
If we're fortunate, perhaps they only have "part" of him. Here's to hoping...
I couldn't make that out either. I think we have him or at we should.....If the Iraq's or Kurds have him then they ought to let us get everything we can get out of him.
If true, Tom Daschle is saddened. Deeply saddened.
From the WoC news service: "Speaker Pelosi adjourns the House. Heads delegation to Erbil demanding Mr. Abbasi be freed. Blames Bush for escalation and attack on the US Embassy in Greece."
"Senator Kennedy to lead Senate delegation, demands suspension of bombings of liquor stores first."
Thanks for the ping. Great news if true!
Well they couldn't really say "bacon and eggs".
Let's hope they're waterboarding him right now.
Wipe out Western culture and replace it with Islam? I noticed he didn't say Southern culture. No one is going to come here and replace pork bar-b-que with Islam, though I'd love to see him try.
I hope they give him a couple days of sleep deprivation, and then waterboard him!
Welcome to GiTMO numbnuts. Your room is ready, and we hope we enjoy your stay. There are a lot of activities planned, and we have our ever popular waterboarding events for our particularly honored guests.
(Sometimes the rats have to come out of their holes, and sometimes they get their head stuck in the trap - this is an OUTSTANDING capture!!!!!)
It's the Bell telephone hour.
You know it's Bell when you get that shocking ting-a-ling on your little ding-a-ling.
Which was totally bogus.
Glad to hear it was a successful rdid.

Interesting report, especially if true. It certainly fits in with the Special Ops aspects of the raids.
Right ... they should definitely let him hang around for a while.
"Hassan Abbasi, was captured in the recent raid on the Islamic Iran's office in Erbil, Iraq."
I heard a radio news broadcast yesterday that said we tryed to raid another embasy, but were prevented from doing so by the Kurdish forces. Anybody else hear anything about that?
This analysis looks accurate to me.
U.S. Troops Stage Second Secret Raid at Iraq Airport
Although it appears it was not DOD folks....unsure anyway...
Waterboarding? Hush your mouth. What they are going to do is give him an all expense paid vacation in the tropical paradise of Guantanamo where he'll be able to enjoy such resort sports as underwater surfboarding.
Hassan Abassi, come on down!
Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping...se post #39....big time stuff is gonna hit the fan if what FARS has posted here turns out to be true....
Embassy in Greece getting mortar attacked, Courts in SoFla (big surprise) getting shut down with suspicious packages, Russia raising hell. Yeah I'd say we got someone important.

*************************AN EXCERPT *******************************8
So I presume that the Bush administration meant what they said when they rejected the Iraq Study Group's recommendation for diplomacy with Iran. Or perhaps they decided to apply the kind of armed diplomacy that would get Iran's attention yesterday when they raided an Iranian consular office in Irbil and detained six of its employees in a cordon-and-knock operation:
*************************************
The raid was the second surprise seizure of Iranians by the American military in Iraq in recent weeks and came a day after President Bush bluntly warned Iran to quit meddling in Iraqi affairs.
yah, and its "profiling" too
