Iraqi Jailbreak: did al-Qaeda Fool US Intelligence in Iraq Again?………
“The militants' escape was confirmed only on Thursday, hours after several militant Islamist websites gloated that the four al-Qaida figures would never be re-captured. "We confirm that four members of the Islamic State of Iraq have escaped from Cropper," the Islamic State of Iraq said in a statement. The audacity of the breakout and the alleged betrayal that facilitated it have electrified Iraq and embarrassed US officials, who had hailed the handover of the prison as a leap forward as they prepare to depart after seven years of occupation. The investigation is now focused on 34-year old warden Omar Hamis Hamadi al-Duleimi, a protege of the American taskforces who had run the jail. The Iraqi justice ministry claims it had been told to appoint him as warden. "We were surprised by this man," said the justice minister, Dara Nouredin. "We were told that we could trust him."………”
Just as happened in Afghanistan with the Jordanian double agent who killed seven CIA agents last spring. Now it looks like US intelligence, and other officials, may have been fooled again by another ‘moderate’ al-Qaeda agent who talked the talk. This Omar al-Duleimi was probably highly recommended by some Iraqi or Jordanian that “could be trusted”. Some fools jut take longer to learn.
