Adam Gadahn's real name is Adam Pearlman. Adam is the grandson of the late Carl K. Pearlman; a prominent Jewish urologist in Orange County. Carl was also a member of the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League, which was caught spying on Americans for Israel in 1993, much as AIPAC has been caught up in the more recent spy scandal.

Lebanon's Army captures Israeli Mossad 'Terrorist Ring'
Wednesday, 14 June, 2006 @ 1:05 PM

Beirut- The Lebanese army has said it had captured members of a
terrorist network allegedly working for the Israeli Mossad and that a
suspect confessed to his role in assassinating Hezbollah and Palestinian

[1- Lebanese army.jpg] officials.

Last Saturday, the army said it had arrested Mahmoud Rafeh, a
59-year-old Lebanese citizen and retired police officer, for a May 26
car bombing that killed Mahmoud Majzoub, a senior Islamic Jihad
official, and his brother in front of their home in the southern city of
Sidon. Rafeh "had links to Israeli intelligence,

" a statement said.

[1- Lebanese army picture of -Mahmoud Rafeh.jpg] On Tuesday, the army
said that Rafeh ( L) had confessed to his role in killing the Majzoub
brothers, and to other operations ... including bombings that killed two
Hezbollah officials; Ali Hassan Dib in 1999 and Ali Saleh in 2003 and
the 2002 killing of Jihad Jibril, the son of Ahmed Jibril, leader of the
radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command
(PFLP-GC), which based in Syria with bases in Lebanon.

Rafeh was part of a "terror network working for the Israeli Mossad," and
its members took "training courses in and outside Israel," the statement
said.

Investigators found Israeli computers, cameras, ammunition, military
uniforms and forged identity cards in ring members' hideouts ( shown
below), it added.

The ring smuggled the booby-trapped door of the Mercedes car that killed
the Majzoub brothers from Israel, the army said.

An investigation was underway to arrest remaining collaborators, it
concluded.

As Safir newspaper said a manhunt is currently underway to catch another
suspect whom it identified as Hussein Khattab, a Palestinian official in
the PFLP-GC. Lebanese police and the security apparatus of the PFLP-GC
had believed he was involved in Jibril's murder but he was later cleared
of the crime, the paper said.

An Nahar newspaper reported that Rafeh had been working for the Mossad
since 1994. It said the army found in his house forged Lebanese papers
that female Mossad agents used to enter the country as the alleged wives
of the ring members.

Israeli intelligence agents stayed at the flat Rafeh had rented in Sidon
near the residence of the Majzoub brothers to monitor their movements,
the paper said.

Six ring members have already been arrested and another two are believed
to have fled to Israel, An Nahar added.

President Emile Lahoud praised Lebanese forces for breaking up the
terrorist network, saying "solidarity is the real power that can stand
in the face of Israel and prevent sectarian conflicts," according to a
statement released by his office.

Hezbollah's deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Qassem, called the arrest and
confession "a message" to all Lebanese that their country was not immune
from "direct Israeli influence" -- despite Israel's withdrawal from
southern Lebanon in 2000.

"Israel still sees Lebanon as a field to achieve political and future
gains," Kassem told Hezbollah's Al Manar television late Tuesday.

Many people have previously been arrested in Lebanon on suspicion of
spying for Israel. In 2004, a Tunisian woman of Palestinian origin and
four accomplices were indicted on charges of plotting with Israel to
assassinate Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Lebanese Army praised

Ahmad Yasseen a local political observer told Ya Libnan, "the fact that
the Lebanese army captured the Mossad terrorist ring is a prove that it
should be the only authority that should be responsible for Lebanon's
security "

Yasseen added: "It is time all Lebanese and Palestinian armed militia
put their faith in the Lebanese army, instead of acting as ' state
inside a state', which is destabilizing the country".

Commenting on the statements of Lahoud and Hezbollah Yasseen told Ya
Libnan" they both should have praised the army instead of trying to
justify the existence of the resistance groups".
