Dr. Humam al-Balawi 32, a Jordanian doctor blew himself up at an American military base in Khost province of occupied Afghanistan – killing seven CIA espionage agents along with one Mukhabarat officer, Sharif Ali bin Zeid (a relative of King Abdullah II). Humam al-Balawi, according to some sources, was forced to work as an informant for the Jordanian intelligence agency Mukhabarat (General Intelligence department) in Afghanistan to infiltrate Taliban resistance and track-down the whereabout of its leaders for US drone attack. Mukhabarat operatives are trained by both CIA and Israeli Mossad. A number of CIA agents are stationed at its headquarter in Amman.
Historically, Jordan is an artificial state carved out by the British colonialist out of the former Ottoman Wilaya in Palestine (a part of Balfour Declaration agenda for the settlement of the unwanted European Jews in Palestine in the future) and was given to one of the sons of Sharif Husain of Makkah – Emir Abdullah, who was shot dead in 1951 when word leaked out that he had offered to recognize Israel. Jordan’s current population is little over six millions which includes two million Native Palestinian Muslims and Christians pushed out of Israel by the Jewish terrorist groups between 1948-51. Over-all Palestinias make approximately 60% of the Jordan’s total population.
According to the USAID website, Jordan has received US$6 billion since 1952 – which is peanut as compared to US$1600 billion Israel received between 1970-2005 and US$28 billion Egypt received since 1975 (as a bribe for Anwar Sadaat’s recognition of the Jewish occupation of Palestine).
The historic close-bond the Heshmite royals have maintained with Washington and Tel Aviv – were mentioned in Qatar’s al-Jazeera TV broadcast – a talk by veteran Egyptian political journalist and adviser to Gamal Abdul Nasser, Mohammad Hasanein Haykal, who accused Jordanian King Abdullah II’s father King Hussein of having been on the payroll of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for 20 years. Haykal, who knew Hussein since he assumed his throne in 1952, and until his death in 1999, claimed that Hussein received US$1 million annual funding from the CIA from 1956, which was discontinued when president Jimmy Carter came to the White House. Haykal also slammed late King Hussein for having “tricked” Egyptian president Gamal Abdul Nasser during the Arab-Israeli war of 1967. He said that although King Hussein claimed he wanted to help the Arabs fight Israel, he had actually been conducting secret talks with the Israelis since the 1950s. Haykal claimed that Hussein had met face-to-face with Israelis for “1,000 hours” prior to signing the Jordanian-Israeli peace agreement in 1994.
Zia Sarhadi, in February issue of the Crescent magazine, wrote under the heading CIA agents killed by Jordanian double agent in Afghanistan:
“The CIA’s losses in Afghanistan are particularly serious. Its agents were involved in military operations and in selecting targets for drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They operated under the cover of “aid workers.” Together with using the cover of journalists, Western spies have perpetrated horrible crimes in Muslim societies. That is why most Muslims are weary of Western journalists, aid workers and foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs). While not everyone may be a spy, the fact that spies use the cover of such agencies makes Muslims weary of all of them. The CIA’s murderous operations in Afghanistan clearly confirm the Muslims’ suspicions.
In a bold move, a number of leading Islamic groups in Jordan have called on the regime to stop its support of the Zionist enemy and US intelligence agencies killing innocent people in Afghanistan. In a statement issued on January 13, the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen in Jordan, the Islamic Action Front and a number of other Islamic organizations demanded that Jordan immediately withdraw its forces from Afghanistan.
Many Jordanians have expressed support for al-Balawi’s action, and he has been lionized on Islamic websites where he wrote under the pen name, Abu Dujana al-Khorasani. The Jordanian intelligence officer, Captain Sharif al-Zeid had tried to recruit al-Balawi while the latter was in prison, for the CIA. While Zeid was given a state funeral with full military honours, the regime announced that nobody should offer condolences to the family of Dr. Balawi.
Most Jordanians dismissed this call with contempt knowing full well that the regime is subservient to Muslim enemies. This was accurately captured by the Islamic groups’ statement titled “It Is Not Our War,” in which they wrote, “We demand an end to the policy of… cooperation or security coordination with the Zionist enemy or the American intelligence agencies, and the withdrawal of Jordanian forces from Afghanistan.”
While the regime has tried to justify its involvement in Afghanistan under the label of fighting terrorism, most Jordanians have asked why it has failed so miserably to stop Zionist state terrorism against hapless Palestinians that is much closer to home.”
