SPY RUMORS FLY ON GUSTS OF TRUTH: AMERICANS PROBING REPORTS OF ISRAELI ESPIONAGE
FORWARD
15 March 2002
According to one former high-ranking American intelligence official, who asked not to be named, the FBI came to the conclusion at the end of its investigation that the five Israelis arrested in New Jersey last September were conducting a Mossad surveillance mission and that their employer, Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, N.J., served as a front.
However, a counterintelligence investigation by the FBI concluded that at least two of them were in fact Mossad operatives, according to the former American official, who said he was regularly briefed on the investigation by two separate law enforcement officials.
"The assessment was that Urban Moving Systems was a front for the Mossad and operatives employed by it," he said.
In fact, he said, the nature of the investigation changed after the names of two of the five Israelis showed up on a CIA-FBI database of foreign intelligence operatives, he said.
Five Israelis were seen filming as jet liners ploughed into the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001
They were Israelis – and at least two of them were Israeli intelligence agents, working for Mossad, the equivalent of MI6 or the CIA.
Vince Cannistraro, former chief of operations for counter-terrorism with the CIA, says the red flag went up among investigators when it was discovered that some of the Israelis’ names were found in a search of the national intelligence database. Cannistraro says many in the US intelligence community believed that some of the Israelis were working for Mossad and there was speculation over whether Urban Moving had been “set up or exploited for the purpose of launching an intelligence operation against radical Islamists”.
The respected New York Jewish newspaper, The Forward, reported in March 2002, however, that it had received a briefing on the case of the five Israelis from a US official who was regularly updated by law enforcement agencies. This is what he told The Forward: “The assessment was that Urban Moving Systems was a front for the Mossad and operatives employed by it.” He added that “the conclusion of the FBI was that they were spying on local Arabs”, but the men were released because they “did not know anything about 9/11”.

As your clip indicates, the witness Maria, the sole witness, noticed the Israelis after she had been watching the towers through her binoculars. There is therefore no evidence that they were set up before the attack.
To suppose they were Mossad agents I would suggest begs a whole host of questions. Why were they filming from New Jersey and not somewhere closer ? Why would Mossad want such a bunch of clowns horsing around ? Why would Mossad require video evidence anyway ?
Your clip shows part of the Israeli tv prog interverviewing these guys. It is in hebrew so the phrase " documenting the event " is a translation. It sounds formal and official but I would love to hear a hebrew/english speaker's take on it.

Only that they were proven to be Mossad. A second team of the same cell was grabbed when they were in the process of deploying a truck full of boom. Of course they informed the police posing as whitnesses who spotted something suspicious to make sure the police knew evil arabs were driving the truck. What they did not expect (Kinda stupid I know) the police did not just block off the route the "arab looking men" were taking, but all routes in the area, so the truck that matched the description they gave got intercepted before they could deliver it for the police to be discovered, which would have gone on record as saying according to reports they got evil arabs placed it after celebrating the attacks on the wtc.
And as for the average IQ of an Mossad agent, with only about a population of 6-8 million, Mossad cant raise the bar quite as high as America, with 300 million to recruit from. Must be why they are the first in the spotlight most of the time. The weakest link. But just like with the Lavon affair most people flatout do not care, or back in the day, did not learn about it.edit on 13-4-2011 by Cassius666 because: (no reason given)

In fact false flag attacks are all too common . On a large scale to set off a war or on a small scale to stir up a war going cold. Here is one example of how the media twists the events when SAS terrorists end up caught by Iraqi police shooting Iraqis.

But back on topic. The Israelis acted the way they acted because they were supposed to look like happy arab terrorist and of course leave behind incriminating evidence of them being happy about the attacks on film. They messed up got apprehendet and identified as mossad. So instead of their video we got pictures of Arabs among which palestinians celebrating birthdays weddings and what not, with the narrator telling us we are seeing pictures of arabs happy about the "terrorist attack"
One anonymous phone call to the authorities actually led them to close down all of New York's bridges and tunnels. The mystery caller told the 9-1-1 dispatcher that a group of Palestinians were mixing a bomb inside of a white van headed for the Holland Tunnel. Here's the transcript from NBC Newsispatcher: Jersey City police. Caller: Yes, we have a white van, 2 or 3 guys in there, they look like Palestinians and going around a building. Caller: There's a minivan heading toward the Holland tunnel, I see the guy by Newark Airport mixing some junk and he has those sheikh uniform. Dispatcher: He has what? Caller: He's dressed like an Arab. (8)
Well maybe not a birthday, more like popular festivities worth getting on film, yes. Its called archive footage. The channel admitted to using archive footage. I think there is a specific celebration where the adults give out candy to the children, but I forgot the name, as I dont have any intimate knowledge of their culture.
I doubt they were relying on worth of mouth of eventual whitnesses. I think what we were supposed to see was footage of Arab terrorists posing in front of the burning towers and being jubilant about the attack, which they shot from Jersey, where else are you going to get the towers in the frame?
They were big you know.
But that one went down the drain when they got themselves arrested. Adam Pearlman looked semitic enough to be a leader of Alquaeda, so I dont see why these guys couldnt pose as Palestinians.
Maybe they shouldnt have planted that call to make sure police new it were Palestinians. Maybe they were so good at what they were doing, somebody else called the police on them
