Al-Qaida 'termination' approved by Syria Report cites al-Assad's secret endorsement of attack November 03, 2008 © 2008 WorldNetDaily worldnetdaily.com LONDON – Agents for the British intelligence service MI6 have had confirmed through the secret channel they operate with Syria's air force intelligence last week's attack by U.S. Special Forces on its territory was sanctioned by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. The Black Hawk strike conveyed U.S. troops over the border from Iraq into Syria where they killed terrorist Abu Ghadiya. He was identified by the Treasury Department as "a high value al-Qaida commander in charge of money, weapons and other terrorists for al-Qaida in Iraq." Officially the Damascus regime denounced the attack in which seven villagers died. But intelligence sources in London and Washington provided an intriguingly different story of the background to the raid, citing sources in the formidable al-Mukhabarat al-Jawiyya, Syria's intel service. "President al-Assad’s approval for the attack is a clear-cut sign of the new level of our cooperation with Syria. It began after the 9/11 attacks, but broke down a year later. Now the Syrians have been fed good intelligence on the threat al-Qaida poses to their country and cooperation has resumed. It was therefore expedient for al-Assad to approve Abu Ghadiya being terminated," said a senior intelligence officer in London. Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin is the premium, online intelligence news source edited and published by the founder of WND. The link between the Secret Intelligence Service, MI6 and Syrian intelligence is now a close one. There have been regular meetings of both sides in London and Damascus. In the Byzantine world of Middle East intelligence, the attack on Ghadiya was arranged carefully between the CIA and MI6 to ensure that responsibility would not fall on Syria for fear of retaliation. The renewed cooperation was discussed in London last week in a meeting with Gen. David Petraeus and MI6 director John Scarlett. It followed Petraeus taking over as the new head of Central Command with responsibility for America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Syria is a key element in the strategy.
