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. The Lebanese Army announced on Saturday that it had arrested two people suspected of involvement with a spy network that gathered information for Israel's intelligence services.

The army said that the men had been arrested on Friday, but the source said that they were actually captured two weeks ago and the discovery of the arrests by the media prompted the army to announce their capture.

The army said the men had admitted "gathering information on political party offices and monitoring the movements of party figures for the enemy."

The statement added that the men had been found with "communications devices and other sophisticated equipment," which they used to gather information and transmit it to Mossad agents.

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.


Investigators said that the spy ring had been active in the area since the late 1980s.

Retired General Elias Hanna told The Daily Star that Lebanon provided the perfect environment for spies to operate. "Lebanon is an open theater for espionage and counter-espionage," he said. "It has all the elements that are needed in international and regional conflict."

But he said that if the group had been operating since the 1980s it would be surprising. "That's 20 years," he said. "That's a long period of time."

The timing of the arrests was also surprising, he said, given that senior officials in the Lebanese Army had recently been replaced, disrupting the continuity needed for counter-espionage operations.

"You have to work on these cases for a long period of time. It requires information and long periods of monitoring," Hanna said.

"The previous period was chaotic in Lebanon, so I don't know how the arrests happened," he added.

He said the group were probably trying to gather information about Hizbullah, but would not have been able to infiltrate the group. "Hizbullah is an intelligence-proof entity," he said. "It operates with a very high level of secrecy. If you cannot get inside it, you study its environment. This is what we are seeing."

Investigators say the men were tasked with monitoring the movements of senior political figures in the Bekaa region, which lies on the main route between Beirut and Damascus.

Officials are also investigating a theory that the group provided intelligence to the Israelis that may have helped them plan the killing of the senior Hizbullah military commander Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus in February.

Hizbullah's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has accused Israel of being behind the car bomb that killed Mughniyeh and has pledged that the Shiite group will take revenge for his death.

An Israeli government spokesman refused to comment on the arrests.

"Every couple of weeks there is someone, somewhere accusing the Mossad of something. As a rule, we don't comment on all these accusations," the spokesman said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Army denied the validity of media reports that linked two men seen crossing the Lebanese-Israeli border on Sunday with the case. In a statement issued on Sunday, the army said that the reports were "confused."

Lebanese authorities are investigating the possibility that a Lebanese citizen arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel had been involved in the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, the Lebanese English-language Daily Star reported on Monday.

Jarrah has confessed to his involvement in the crimes attributed to him, the paper reported.

Sources involved in the investigation were quoted as saying that Jarrah was inducted into the Mossad in the mid-1980s and was charged with gathering information on Palestinian organizations operating in Lebanon and Syria.

The Jerusalem Post could not independently confirm the reports.

Mossad, the sources said, had supplied Jarrah with advanced technological means with which to keep track of senior Hizbullah leaders.

The report also claimed that Jarrah's brother, Yusuf, was arrested on suspicion that he had assisted his brother.

The Daily Star quoted a security source as saying that the two were related to Ziad Jarrah, a Lebanese man who was among the hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania field on September 11, 2001.

Ziad Jarrah looks to me like a little Jewish boy Mossad operative who can speak a little Arabic, and who is acting a role for the Media Hucksters in front of the boob tube simpletons.

You can tell the difference between an Israeli and and Arab by looks alone? I'd hate to see the kinds up mix ups you would have if you ever actually went to the Middle East or Israel. It would be something out of a bad sitcom.

No I did not say by appearance alone. When you combine his actions in the video and his appearance and the fact that no 'hijacked' aircraft crashed into anything on 9-11 and the fact that there is no real evidence that aircraft were 'hijacked' on 9-11 and the fact that many alleged 'hijackers' were still alive after 9-11 and the fact that two of his uncles are Israeli Mossad agents and one of them has confessed and the quality of this video which suddenly pops up when the two Mossad agents are arrested; then I would say that Ziad Jarrah looks to me like (seems like) a little Jewish boy Mossad operative who can speak a little Arabic.

You do realize that some Lebanese citizens are Jews and some Palestinian citizens are Jews and some Jordanian citizens are Jews and some Iraqi citizens are Jews and some Iranian citizens are Jews and some Canadians are Jews and some Americans are Jews don't you? Which do you think would be more likely to be recruited by an Israeli Jewish Mossad; Arabs or Christians or Jews?

And and and and and and. None of those things mean anything (truthful or not). You needed to explain because you understood my point. If you didn't write 'looks like' I wouldn't have made any comment about generalizations of appearance.

Yes, I am well aware there are multiple religions living in a single region. I've actually been to every country you mentioned (Jordan aside), which is why I made a comment in the first place. As for who the Mossad would recruit, I think they would be inclined to use people of any religion. It would be stupid to insinuate otherwise. In fact, I'm sure they would prefer willing Muslims for uses in the Middle East, since they'll be able to infiltrate the extremist groups that much easier.

Well who are they more likely to recruit; those who secretly hate them and everything they stand for or those who generally have the same will to maintain their own culture? Or conversely which groups would be willing to be recruited by the Mossad and willing to carry out their terrorist activities? For example it would be totally impossible for Mossad to recruit me. You do see why it is quite likely that all of the agents with stolen identities and pretending to be the 9-11 'hijackers' and with access to US military bases and CIA cells and already in the FBI database ready to be named and accused prior to 9-11, were either Mossad or CIA or German intelligence. That might explain Mossad agent Ziad Jarrah and his German girlfriend might it not?

SPreston,

I can understand how baffling it is to understand how someone like Jarrah became a jihadist.

SPreston,

How do you explain them becoming first MOSSAD operatives and then alleged jihadists? Don't you suspect there is some kind of conflict there? Are most people really too gullible not to suspect false flag ops by the Zionist Israelis?

i think the likely explanation is this

The Jarrah family, including uncles, Ziad, etc, are/were rabid pro-islamic radicals.

islamicist Ziad Jarrah was alleged to be a pilot in a terror enterprise which was tracked by israeli mossad, followed by israeli mossad, and even filmed by israeli mossad.

The attack was cited by Israeli prime minister as bening benificial to US-Israel relations "it's a good thing" said Netanyahu.

Jarrah's uncle, also an islamicist, ends up infiltrating islamic networks to, uh, spy on behalf of israel.

Both Jarrah's connections to advancing the zionist agenda, working with or near Mossad operatinos (by means of deception practice war) through false-flag terror operations, spying, etc, should be viewed in isolation and as a coincidence.

Quote:

 

Ziad Samir Jarrah, suspected of piloting United Airlines flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania, was born on May 11, 1975 in Mazraa, Lebanon a suburb of Beirut.

His father, Samir is a civil servant, and his mother Nasisa, a school teacher.

An only son, he had a privileged upbringing. Ziad Jarrah was sent to a Catholic school in Beirut, where his parents believed he would get a superior education.

As a young man he rarely attended mosque on Fridays and was indifferent to politics. He graduated in 1996. His uncle, banker Jamal Jarrah had difficulty believing that his social and worldly nephew was responsible for the atrocities in the U.S.

Jarrah showed little interest in religion. His friend, Abdul Rahman Al-Makkadi recalls leading him to the mosque and considered him a 'weak' Muslim.

He had no interest in religion, especially the Islamic one. His uncle being a Mossad agent is key. He was an easy recruit for Mossad. They used him, and then framed him. Mossad was responsible for trailing all the "hijackers" who were also working for Mossad and CIA themselves. Many of them were trained on U.S military bases as well. The whole purpose of the "hijackers" was to leave a false trail of evidence that would be used to build up a picture of what they were intending on doing. Mossad spies following them were setting them up.

I really dig this idea.

I do not believe that any of the accused actually 'hijacked' any planes that day. I also believe, in the same way that Oswald was at first an asset, then a dupe, then a patsy, that some of the individuals accused were involved in SOMETHING dirty, but not terrorism, necessitating their handlers, or CIA protection, multiple entry visas, military base training, proximity to Mossad operatives, etc.

Back to Jarrah -- if his uncle was mossad, then he had entrez into mossad world, where a lot of times you don't even deal with anyone hebrew or jewish --just cut-outs, arabs, drug-runners, etc

(see WTC 1993 bombing, google Josie Hadas) -- similar set-up.

well, I know who WASNT involved in any aspect of the alleged hijack

Passenger 9B on AA11, Daniel Lewin, Israeli sayret matkal elite counter terror, and counter air piracy commando, and US tech start up chief.

Why not? Because, he was an unfortunately a victim, shot on that flight, the FAA said so..

Flight AA11 held a very special passenger -- Daniel C Lewin. here is some information on his strange passing. Respects to Mr Lewin's family and survivors.

Lewin was a co-founder of Akamai Technologies. (internet stuff -- when you are opening a page, look for the akamai.net. router site).

Internet millionaire:
"Daniel C. Lewin, 31, was the co-founder and chief technology officer at Akamai Technologies Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts, company that produces technology equipment to facilitate online content delivery"

Moreover, US-born Daniel Lewin had trained in Israel with the elite Israeli anti-terror commando squad Sayeret Matkal. Strong. Capable. Muscular. Trained to kill a man with his hands and employ any number of weapons. Oddly, it is specified many times, that Lewin was the passenger brutally murdered on AA11 in business class -- shot by a gun, according to one FAA report, or injured with sharp object in throat, according to another. Lewin was reported as sitting in 9B. The alleged terrorist who attacked him was seated in 10B.

here are the seat charts
http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/attack/

as reported on Sept, 9, 2002
One of the two Israelis who died aboard the hijacked planes was Daniel Lewin – who was aboard the first plane to crash into the Twin Towers. The Ha’aretz News Service of Israel revealed that Lewin was a one time officer in the Israeli Defense Forces Sayaret Matkal commando unit.

http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=13560
According to phone call from AA11: "Sweeney called Michael Woodward, the flight services supervisor in Boston,
from the rear of the plane: "a hijacker slit the throat of a passenger in
business class and the passenger appears to me to be dead." To this day the
American investigators are not convinced that Danny Lewin was murdered on
the spot. An additional stewardess, Betty Ong, who succeeded in calling
from a telephone by one of the passenger seats, said that the passenger who
was attacked from business class seat 10B was seriously wounded.

My questions -- what was Lewin doing aboard this flight? This is an amazing coincidence. The elite Israeli commando unit Lewin trained with -- Sayret Matkal -- was just the type of commando unit which specialized in anti-terror operations -- like storming hijacked planes, disarming hijackers

Probably just another 9/11 coinkidink.

Hours before the House version of the first Patriot Act went to a vote, "technical corrections" were inserted into the body of the legislation whereby foreign security companies such as ICTS-International would be immune from lawsuits related to the events of 9/11.

Quote:

 

this "Patriot" act legislative sleight of hand occurred before the inception of the 9/11 Commission. Hence, in the face of an institutional cover-up, citizens were denied the possibility of a discovery process which is normally afforded to litigants. Without such discovery process, ICTS-International would never be compelled by a court of law to give testimony and show evidence related to the missing airport video surveillance tapes of 9/11 or any other aspect of security measures in place on 9/11.
