Washington, June 09: Iraqi intelligence service had issued orders to start campaigns of sabotage, looting and
murder should Baghdad lose the war, according to a document found in Basra.
The document, a copy of which was obtained by the ‘Washington Times’, also orders intelligence agents to
infiltrate political parties and religious institutions should
the Saddam Hussein regime be toppled.
The one page Arabic-language document stamped "extremely confidential" described an 11-point "emergency secret plan" that includes looting and cutting internal and external communications "in case of the fall of the Iraqi leadership by the American-British-Zionist coaltion".
The document calls for the destruction in particular of intelligence and military security buildings and murder of "religious scholars and preachers" and asks operatives to enroll in "religious schools of the Shiite Muslim leadership in the holy city of Najaf," ‘The Times’ said.
It also asks operatives to buy guns from Iraqi citizens and make contact and become close to returning exiles.
The document dated January 23, 2003 first fell into the hands of a "leading Iraqi religious movement after its members ransacked Basra's intelligence headquarters," ‘The Times’ said.
