Perfidious Albion

Thanks to Brad Funkhouser for reminding me of this story of British SAS troops pretending to be Arab terrorists in Basra. British security organs have a long history of this sort of crime. But then, all empires, make routine use of agents provocateur. Divide and rule, as the Romans used to proclaim.

Remember the Iraqui arrest of two British soldiers, dressed in Arab clothes, amd driving a car full of bomb-making equipment? The British troops sent a tank to knock down the wall of the police station and grab them. On another front, there is more information on British fomenting of “IRA” bomb attacks in Ireland. (Thanks to Sean Corrigan for the link.)
