Situation

THE PREVIOUS OPERATION (PARAMOUNT) DID NOT YIELD GREAT RESULTS. OUR INABILITY TO CAPTURE COLONEL QASIM AMIN OR ANY OTHER PRISONERS HAS CLOSED THE DOOR ON ANY LEADS WE WERE PURSING REGARDING THE LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT OF THE IRAQI ARMY WITH HARIQ FI ALSAMA (FIRE IN THE SKY) AND THE LEVEL OF THREAT POSED BY POSSIBLE ARMS DEALS. COMMAND REMINDS ALL OPERATORS THAT, WHILST IT IS IMPORTANT TO ELIMINATE THREATS, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO GAIN INSIGHT AND INTELLIGENCE INTO THE ENEMY’S OPERATIONS AT THIS TIME. ANALYSIS OF THE INTELLIGENCE THAT WAS GAINED IN THE PREVIOUS OPERATION LEADS MI-6 TO CONCLUDE THAT HARIQ FI ALSAMA ARE MOVING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OPIUM AND HEROIN THROUGH FALLUJAH AND THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY EQUIPPED THEMSELVES WITH HEAVY WEAPONS. ANALYSIS OF PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS BEING PAID OVER TO COLONEL AMIN AND THE WEAPONS BEING DELIVERED. IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT MORE WEAPONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED OR ARE EXPECTED TO BE DELIVERED. MI-6 AND HQ ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION WITHIN THE IRAQI MILITARY AND IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY INTELLIGENCE LEAKS OUR OPERATIONS WILL BE MOVING TO A SAFE HOUSE LOCATED IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CITY AT THE END OF TODAY’S MISSION. LOCATION WILL BE PROVIDED BY CROSSROADS DURING THE MISSION TO PREVENT ANY INFORMATION LEAKS THROUGH THE IRAQI’S PROVIDING SECURITY AT CAMP HOLIDAY. FORTUNATELY FOR US, ONE PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN DURING THE LAST OPERATION WHICH YIELDED A CONCERNING PIECE OF INTELLIGENCE. A CHEMICAL DETECTOR WAS FOUND IN ONE OF THE LOCATIONS. THIS IS A HIGHLY SENSITIVE DETECTOR WHICH IS USED FOR THE DETECTION OF CHEMICALS AFTER A CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK. THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THESE AROUND THE WORLD AND THEY ALL COME FROM ONE SOURCE, A LABORATORY IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEVICE WAS DESTROYED. MI-6 WILL BE SENDING A SCIENTIFIC ADVISOR, DR. NADIA KUMAR, TO INVESTIGATE THE LEAD. DR. KUMAR IS A CHEMICAL ENGINEER AND THE UK’S FOREMOST EXPERT ON CHEMICAL WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT AND DETECTION. SHE IS A HIGHLY VALUED ADVISOR TO THE UK GOVERNMENT AND IS KNOWN PERSONALLY BY THE PRIME MINISTER. HER PROTECTION IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR YOUR TEAM. Continue reading
