Drunken Israeli spy beaten up in Iraq

Parasites in Iraq

An alleged Israeli spy has been violently overpowered by bodyguards at a bar in northern Iraq for displaying drunken antics.

Last Thursday, the heavily-intoxicated 62-year-old, named Dawood Baghestani, reportedly began displaying immoral behavior and was battered by bouncers at the bar located in the Iraqi Kurdistan's City of Arbil.

Baghestani is purported to be one of the Israeli fifth columnists in northern Iraq who is in the business of deploying Israeli agents in the Iraqi Kurdistan. He is known to have traveled to Israel a number of times, including a “clandestine” visit back in 1967.

The alleged operative is reported to have been carrying out espionage activities for Israel under the guise of running the Israel-Kurd magazine in the Kurdish-populated area.

The Kurdish- and English-language publication provoked outrage in the predominantly Muslim Iraqi region last year by claiming that it sought to “help solve” the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by convincing the “Israeli Kurds” to return to the Iraqi Kurdistan.

"The biggest reason behind the complexity of the Palestinian problem is the unjust practices of Arab regimes against the Jews,” Baghestani had claimed. "If the Jews had not been subjected to an exodus, the Palestinians wouldn't have been either," he had added, referring to the departure of around one million Palestinians from their homeland following the 1948 occupation of Palestine by Zionist forces that established the Israeli regime.

Baghestani is reportedly operating freely in the region with little interference by the local authorities is the Iraqi Kurdistan.

Observers report that Israeli elements have long been present and active in the Iraqi Kurdistan ever since the US military brought northern Iraq under its protection after waging the 1990 Persian Gulf War that followed the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait by the former dictator Saddam Hussein.

Israeli agents in Iraqi Kurdistan have also been reported to be providing arms and financial support to Kurdish terrorist groups in northeastern Iraq that are active against governments of Iran and Turkey. PressTV
