Baghdad - The Israeli espionage apparatus, Mossad, was able to liquidate around
350 Iraqi scientists in various fields of knowledge and 200 university professors
with the full cooperation of the US occupation forces in Iraq since the fall of
the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, last March 2003, a report prepared by the US State
Department revealed.
The report that was referred to the US president George W. Bush pointed out
that Israeli commandos and Mossad elements were operating in Iraq more than
a year ago with the aim of liquidating Iraqi nuclear and biology scientists,
among other scientists, and prominent university professors after the American
attraction attempts failed to convince them to cooperate with or work in the
USA.
"Some Iraqi scientists were forced to work in American research centers;
however, the majority of them refused to cooperate in certain fields and fled
the US to other countries", it added.
However, scientists, who preferred to remain in Iraq, were subjected to severe
torture, punishment and interrogation; nevertheless, the Israelis had a different
view over those scientists and opined that they were a threat to the Zionist
state; hence, they should be liquidated.
They exploited the recent rampant violence in Iraq and started the liquidation
operations against those scientists who are considered as assets for the Arab
and Muslim nations.
"Seven months ago, the Pentagon (US defense department) was convinced
of the Israeli idea and extended the necessary help for them to carry out their
mission well", the report underlined.
An American security team was commissioned to gather the biography of those
scientists and the way to reach them, and then the Israeli team would be entrusted
with the assassination mission that yielded this number of murdered scientists
and university professors.
More than 1,000 Iraqi scientists are targeted in this American-Israeli mission
as some road explosions in Iraq were, actually, targeting them.
