Bulgaria Terrorist Attack A ‘Legitimate Pretext For War With Iran’

Thursday, July 19, 2012 19:00

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Analyst Jamal Abdi says the Bulgaria terrorist attack on Israeli tourists Israel accuses Iran of masterminding is a legitimate pretext for war against Iran.

Israel has accused Iran of masterminding a terror attack in Bulgaria just hours after the tragedy claimed the lives of several Israeli tourists.

The incident could be used as a pretext for a legitimate strike against Iran, analyst Jamal Abdi told RT.

Video Transcripts:

RT: It took Benjamin Netanyahu just two hours to blame Tehran for the bombing, saying that all signs point to Iran. What are the grounds for such hasty conclusions?

Jamal Abdi: I don’t think he has grounds to make such an accusation. I think it is an extremely dangerous accusation. And it really feeds some of the concerns that I know privately officials in Washington have expressed, that these attacks that have been carried out between the parties, between Israel and Iran, could somehow provide casus belli for a war.

In the case of Israel not having a pretext to go into Iran and overtly attack its nuclear facilities, if you have a situation like this, in which Iran is implicated, whether rightly or wrongly, for a terrorist attack, that could create a basis where an Israeli “counter” attack may be perceived as more legitimate than a preventative strike against Iran, against a nuclear program that – all indications say – has not developed into a nuclear weapons program.

RT: Given the pressure Iran is under concerning its nuclear program, and the international sanctions that come with it, would it be in Tehran’s interests to mastermind an attack like this?

JA: I don’t know about the interests of Tehran, but I would not necessarily rule out some of the accusations that Iran was behind this. I think that we have entered a very dangerous cycle of escalation between the US, Iran and Israel. And given the attacks that we’ve seen inside of Iran against nuclear scientists, some of the sabotage efforts that have apparently been carried out by Israel, honestly I haven’t seen the evidence but I would not be shocked if Iran was behind this. And I think it is absolutely deplorable when innocent civilians are targeted by terrorist attack like this, regardless of where it happens or who conducts the attacks.

RT: Do you think blaming Iran for this attack could be diverting attention from Israel’s ongoing domestic problems?

JA: I don’t know what Netanyahu’s intentions are. I do know that he has used some extremely dangerous rhetoric and that there does seem to be a push by him to ratchet up the pressure for military action conducted either by Israel or the United States. And so when we have this confrontation between Israel and Iran, this is a strong suit that Netanyahu has politically, the very hard line that he has taken against Tehran.

I don’t know that it necessarily undermines anything that he is trying to do by immediately blaming Iran for this before even his own intelligence people have declared that Iran is behind this disgusting attack.

RT: The US recently reiterated its support for the Jewish state. How far do you think they would go to back Israel should it decide to take action?

JA: I don’t think the Unites States is going to have much of a choice, unfortunately, if it comes to a third party like Israel attacking Iran or if Iran does something provocative in the Persian Gulf. I think we are on the precipice right here, and this is a hair-trigger situation. If something happens, the United States is very likely going to be sucked into it.

There was a leak, in the Pentagon couple months ago, a simulation in which they found that in the case of Israeli strike on Iran immediately you have the United Stated getting sucked into it, immediately you have US soldiers getting killed in a counter-attack by Iran.

So the ability to control a situation like this once it actually does spiral into a war scenario, I think, is going be outside of US hands.

This comes as the terrorist who conducted the attacks has just before the terrorist who is alleged to have conducted the attacks has been identified as a CIA torture detainee.

Bulgarian Suicide Bomber Identified As CIA Tortured Detainee

The Bulgarian media say they have identified the suicide bomber that Israel says was Iran’s doing as a CIA torture victim detained in Guantanamo Bay for 2 years.

At this point Guantanamo Bay is beginning to look more like an CIA training ground for false flag operatives than a torture prison for terrorists – especially given the high rate of released “torture victims” who after being released manage to somehow travel around the world under the radar of the international intelligence community only to reappear to at exactly at the right time they are needed to conduct “terrorist attacks” beneficial to the west’s imperialistic political agenda.

The Bulgarian media say the man who conducted yesterday’s terrorist bombings that Israel is using to justify military action against Iran was a former prisoner in the CIA’s torture prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

According to the reports, they have identified the terrorist as Mehdi Ghezali, an Algerian-Swedish Islamist, who was tortured by the CIA for 2 years after he was arrested in Afghanistan following the battle of Tora Bora.

Suspiciously, the man was arrested after being released while traveling with a group of Al-CIAda terrorist that were carrying $10,000 cash and maps of Western embassies along with explosive belts after being released from Gitmo on to be released again.

Ghezali, whose identity has been confirmed not only from CCTV footage (see video below) but also by his fingerprints which were lifted from the scene and sent to the FBI and Interpol for confirmation, also was in possession of a U.S. passport and Michigan Driver’s license which were both able to allow him to travel but which the FBI says they can find no record of.
