"Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the source said the men are relatives of Ziad Jarrah, the Lebanese who helped commandeer United Airlines Flight 93 before it crashed into a Pennsylvania field on September 11, 2001, killing everyone on board. Jarrah's family is from the town of Al-Marej in the Bekaa Valley, where the arrests took place...The Jarrah family have repeatedly denied that Ziad was part of the September 11 plot, claiming he was instead a innocent passenger on the plane, but an official investigation concluded that he was a senior member of the hijacking team who had undergone flight training in order to carry out the attacks...Residents of Al-Marej told As-Safir newspaper that the men were arrested when security forces raided a home in the town and seized equipment from a car. The newspaper said investigators had found documents which prove that the men had been in contact with Israeli intelligence agents. Investigators said that the men had passed information about the location of Lebanese and Syrian army outposts to the Israelis... One of the two men arrested, identified only by his initials "A.D.J.," is believed to have been the head of the spy ring. Security sources told The Daily Star that the man was a member of the Palestinian militant group Fatah al-Intifadah, which is known to be active along the Syrian border...The other man who was arrested is said to be a relative of "A.D.J." and was allegedly involved in conducting reconnaissance work for Mossad in the Bekaa Valley."
Was Ziad Jarrah in Florida when lead 911 hijacker Mohamed Atta was (apparently) copiloting Lebanese-Syrian heroin flights for CIA? Did Ziad Jarrah or these two connected to Syrian CIA heroin and arms asset Monzer Al Kasser, who planted a Bush-Gehlen Swiss timer inside its Palestinian bomb on Pan Am 103 at Frankfurt? What was the timing of these 911-related arrests and Monzer Al Kasser's arrest last summer? -Bob --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, RoadsEnd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Begin forwarded message: > > From: "Mario Profaca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: November 4, 2008 3:18:24 AM PST > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SPY NEWS] Leader of the Mossad ring, related to 9/11 bomber > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > http://www.roadstoiraq.com/2008/11/03/leader-of-the-mossad-ring-related-to-911-bomber/ > Leader of the Mossad ring, related to 9/11 bomber > Newspaper Al-Rai revealed that the leader of the "Israeli-spy" cell > arrested in Lebanon, already imprisoned by Syria 15 days before his > arrest in Lebanon 3 months ago. > > The newspaper added that that his arrest was joint cooperation between > the Syrian and Lebanese intelligence services. > > Lebanese newspaper Daily Star says that the leader of the spy ring Ali > Al-Jarrah is related to the Lebanese 9/11 suicide operationZiad Al- > Jarrah. > > > > Members of Israeli spy ring 'related to 9/11 hijacker' > 'Lebanon is an open theater for espionage' > By Andrew Wander > Daily Star staff > Monday, November 03, 2008 > > Listen to the Article - > > Powered by > > > > BEIRUT: Two men arrested for running an Israeli spy ring in the Bekaa > Valley are relatives of a suicide hijacker who piloted a plane in the > September 11, 2001, attacks, a security source told The Daily Star on > Sunday.
