From Jerome: "I hope this message reaches you well. Matthew Levitt testified in the U.S. House
of Representatives and you can download the text here.
Considering the lack of credible credentials of Levitt in the study of militant
groups in the Middle East, I would certainly not advice anybody to read it
seriously. Yet I think the following quote is worth mentioning:
"Most startling was the news regarding Muhammad Hisham Muhammad Ismail Abu Ghazala (aka
Mansur/Khadim al-Hussein), a Hamas explosives expert targeted by both Washington and Baghdad for
his ties to al-Qaeda, Iran, former Saddam regime elements, networks responsible for proliferating
improvised explosive devices in northern Iraq, and various terrorist organizations throughout the
country."
So the guy from Hamas is connected to al-Qaeda, Iran, the Baathists and other "terrorist" network? Why did Levitt fail to mention his well-known (according to our secret un-sourced intelligence) connection to North Korea, Carlos (the former French entertainer) and the Muppet show? His guy is a joke."
