- On Tuesday Feb. 23, Iran announced the capture of Abdulmalek
Rigi, the boss of the terror organization Jundullah, which works for NATO.
The capture of Rigi represents a serious setback for the US-UK strategy
of using false flag state-sponsored terrorism against Iran and Pakistan,
and ultimately to sabotage China's geopolitics of oil. The Iranians claim
to have captured Rigi all by themselves, but the Pakistani ambassador to
Teheran is quoted in The Dawn as claiming an important role for Pakistan.
The Iranians say that Rigi was attempting to fly from Dubai to Kyrgystan,
and that his plane was forced to land in Iran by Iranian interceptors.
This exploit recalls Oliver North's 1985 intercept of the accused Achille
Lauro perpetrators, including Abu Abbas, forcing their Egyptian plane to
land at Sigonella, Sicily. But other and perhaps more realistic versions
suggest that Iran was tipped off by the Pakistanis, or even that Rigi was
captured by Pakistan and delivered to the Iranians.
-
- Jundullah, otherwise known as the Rigi organization,
is a clan-based Mafia organization that has long infested the Iran-Pakistan
border. The Rigis are traditionally smugglers and drug pushers of royalist
persuasion, and now they have branched out into terrorism. Jundullah is
mounting a Sunni rebellion against the Shiite Iranian regime in Iranian
Baluchistan. They have blown up a Shiite mosque, killing 25, and managed
to kill 50 in a bombing in Pishin last October, where their victims included
some top commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, against which Mrs. Clinton
has now declared war. There is no doubt that Jundullah is on the US payroll.
This fact has been confirmed by Brian Ross of ABC News, the London Daily
Telegraph , and by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker. Hersh noted that Jundullah
has received some of the $400 million appropriated by the US Congress in
the most recent Bush-era regime change legislation targeting Iran.
-
- Jundullah is a key part of the US-UK strategy of fomenting
ethnic and religious civil war in both Iran and Pakistan. Jundullah is
a twofer in this context, since it can help destabilize both sides of the
Iran-Pakistan border. Baluchistan has special importance because any oil
pipeline linking Iran with China must go straight across Baluchistan. Jundullah's
false flag jihad is a means to make sure that strategic pipeline, which
would help solve China's energy problem, is never built.
-
- There is also no doubt that Jundullah functions as an
arm of NATO, a kind of irregular warfare asset similar in some ways to
the KLA of Kosovo. Rigi is reported by the Iranians to have met with Jop
de Hoop Scheffer when he was NATO Secretary General. Rigi has also met
with various NATO generals operating in Afghanistan. Who knows -- he may
have met with McChrystal himself, a covert ops veteran from Iraq.
-
- This capture comes at a moment when Baluchistan is the
object of intense US-UK exertions. The current US-NATO offensive in southern
Afghanistan targets Marjah and the rest of Helmand province, which directly
faces Baluchistan. Many observers were puzzled when the US and NATO publicized
the Marjah offensive in advance. Militarist talking heads like General
Barry McCafferty responded that the main goal of the Marjah offensive was
not to destroy the Taliban, but to drive them out of the province. It was
thus clear from the beginning that the real goal was to drive the Helmand
Taliban fighters into Pakistani Baluchistan. Why?
-
- A statement from the Afghan Taliban covered on the RIA
Novosti web site suggests that the real goal of the US-NATO offensive in
Marjah-Helmand is to attack Chinese economic interests in Pakistani Baluchistan,
and especially the port of Gwadar, one of China's largest overseas projects.
If the US can push the Taliban into Pakistani Baluchistan and into the
area around Gwadar, they will have a pretext for militarization perhaps
through Blackwater mercenaries, who are already operating massively in
Pakistan, or perhaps through direct US military involvement in the zone.
US jackboots on the ground in Baluchistan would interfere mightily with
Chinese economic development plans. They would also allow the US to commandeer
Gwadar as the home port of a new NATO supply line into southern Afghanistan,
allowing the avoidance of the Khyber Pass bottleneck. The US could also
use Baluchistan as a springboard for bigger and better terror ops into
Iran, electronic surveillance of Iranian activities, and so forth.
-
- The US and NATO had evidently planned a double envelopment
of Baluchistan, with Taliban fighters from Helmand arriving from the north,
while the Jundullah escalated their own activity on the ground. Now that
Rigi has joined his brother in Iranian jails, Jundullah has been decapitated,
and the NATO strategy has consequently been undermined. Iran has bagged
a dangerous terrorist foe. Another winner is Pakistan, where The Dawn celebrated
the capture of Rigi as "a godsend" and "a lucky break"
for Pakistan. By helping Rigi to fall into Iranian hands, Pakistan may
have finally found an effective way to counter the US-UK strategy, which
notoriously aims at the breakup and partition of Pakistan. The coming Iranian
trial of Rigi may go far towards exposing the real mechanism of terrorism
in today's world, with the CIA sitting in the dock next to Rigi.
