Top Secret and Personal4. (Dr. Mahmud 'Uthman) is on a visit now to the Autonomous Ruling

Region. He is a Kurdish politician, lives in (London) and doesn'tbelong to a great tribe, still he is a famous erson and has a oliticalrespect in the regionHe held number ofmeetings, in which he mentioned the satisfaction ofthe British Government to the similar attitudes of the two main partiesfrom the issues of the reconciliation with the central government. Healso mentioned the reply on the invitation ofMr. President the leaderSaddam Hussein (protected and Cared by God) about the dialogue, andputting the conditions was very suitable in this period of time. Afterthat he visited Al-Aufal Center which was opened in Irbil, and said thathe collects the documents that condemn the central government in thecase ofhuman rights. Though he was undesirable person from theopinion of the two parties, he changed quickly, and it is thought thatthis was according to instructions form the British Government.

5. The staff of the security Kurdish Democratic Party distributed (30)thirty handbags on the security directors in Irbil and Duhuk, to keepthe important information that they have. The specialty of these bags isthat they are supplied with automatic digital system and a specific codeto be opened; and in case oftouching the code number by anotherperson, it gives a beam and spectrum that lead to the temporalblindness immediately. It is considered that the mentioned bags wereimported from Britain.

6. The Iraqi Communist Party has issued a statement, condemning andconvicting the attitude ofthe both parties; the Union and theDemocratic. He also objected on the usage ofthe term (sovereignty ofthe Iraqi President) in their common statement about responding thedialogue invitation. The Iraqi Communist Party also accused the twoparties ofhaving the intention ofmaking dialogue with thegovernment.

There is alsocoordination between the security directorates of the governorates and thebranches of the leader party to record and follow up the movements of thesemembers.

2. We directed in different periods chosen strikes to the most prominentextremist members that practice the rituals ofAI-Wahabiyyah Movement.When we made detailed investigation by a special commission which wasprepared for this purpose, we found that these members don't have thecomplete religious knowledge or the culture that could circulate this trend.Accordingly, their ignorance of the religious matters made them doingpractices away from the Holy Book (Qur'an) and the Sunnah.

In 1993, I was living in Mudir al-Amn Street [TC: street name means security manager]in al-Ghazaliyyah district where my parents lived at the time, at the time, I was a studentat the Physical Education College and a boxer in the team. One day, there was amisunderstanding between myself and three neighbors, they were the nephews ofMr.'Abd-al-Ghani 'Abd-al-Ghafur, a party member, this resulted in a fight among us and Ihave beaten one of them and broke his nose, he was an officer at the Intelligence Serviceand the other was a Police Officer, after the break up ofthe fight, each one of them wentto his Directorate and brought reports that I have attacked them while they were carryingout their duties, I was forced to leave the house and be absent from my family for about amonth approximately, at that time, they harassed my family and imprisoned my brotherinstead of me from two days, and when I became desperate, I went to the north, to Dahukarea and I stayed there until things calmed down as I planned to return to the new schoolyear and (commence work), at the time, I met with the Director ofMedia and Relationsof Dahuk Governorate and he offered me to work with him as an escort detail and achauffeur, he explained to me what the job entails, which is basically to receivedelegations and Foreign Organizations arriving from various parts of the world and attendmeetings, conventions, conferences and parties etc.I agreed to work with him and Governor'Abd-al-'Aziz Tayib (The Governor of Dahuk)has welcomed me as I am fluent in Kurdish, and through my work at the Governorate, Iwas introduced to all heads of Foreign Organizations and got to know the alleged Leadersofthe Kurdish People, from Security Officers (Esayish) and Intelligence Officers(Parstin) and Custom Managers, members of aI-Barty party and other parties and theirlocations etc..After the passing of eight months at my work in Media and Relations, I met with one ofmy school colleagues in one of the restaurants in Dahuk market, he is Arasan and hisbrother Ahmad and after our conversation, it became evident that Arasan is a Secretary ofDoctor (Ahmad al-Chalabi) and he was his Administrative Assistant in Kurdistan andresponsible for all Offices in the northern region and his brother Ahmad is the Director ofOpposition Television Program in Kurdistan, which is located in Salah aI-Din resort inArbil Governorate, and both Arasan and Ahmad are the sons of (Habib Fili) the Editor ofTa'akhi newspaper in the seventies and Public Tax Manager in Baghdad in the eightiesand a Ba'th party member in the nineties...Arasan proposed to me to work with them with a salary of 200 dollars monthly after heheard my story and the reason ofmy arrival to Dahuk, I agreed to work with them as aSecurity Officer and as an escort to Ahmad al-Chalabi, he accompanied me to introduceme to him (Ahmad al-Chalabi) at Salah aI-Din resort as this was their main location, Imet with him and he welcomed the idea of my employment with them after he heard allthe details from Arasan and Ahmad

I started working on the same day and through my working with them, it dawned on mefor several times to come to Baghdad to report the names of elements that cooperate withthem in Baghdad and other Governorates and about their movement, phone numbers,their agents who facilitate sabotage activities within Iraq, however, I wasn't able to come[TC: to Baghdad] for two reasons, number one is that I was wanted for military serviceand I was "Absent without Leave" due to the pending case of the (fight) which resulted inme leaving the College.After a period of more than six month, Ahmad al-Chalabi left and his representative andDiplomatic Consultant Nabil al-Musawi who resides in al-Zuhur neighborhood inBaghdad assumed his place bringing with him money that Ahmad al-Chalabi has sentfrom London to settle the opposition's bills and debt at the time.One day during the settling of the opposition's debts, the alleged Kusart who is one of thecommanders of Jalal Talaban's army ofal-Yakty party (Kurdish Labor Party) as they callit came to see him at the location, he started cussing against the Arabs generally, so Ihave beaten him without hesitation which resulted in breaking ofhis nose, this has causedquite a stir in Arbil generally as Nabil, Ahmad, Arasan and others came rushing to thelocation to hide me, I ran to Ahmad al-Chalabi's car, myself, Nabil and we went to alSulaymaniyyah and Nabil informed me to stay that night only and then he will send oneof Ahmad al-Chalabi's accountants to escort me to Iran and then to London whereAhmad al-Chalabi was present at the time, as my situation is critical.I decided on my own to go to Dahuk following the return ofNabil from alSulaymaniyyah to Arbil, I went to Dahuk as Jalal's group are not permitted to stay in alBarty area at the time, I remained there until Nabil called me from the Opposition officein Dahuk, one ofthem came to me and informed that Nabil al-Musawi and Arasan wouldlike to talk to me on the phone and both Nabil and Arasan informed me to go to Londonthrough Turkey, and they sent me funds to cover the trip and provided me with anaddress and a phone number as well as a fax number of Ahmad al-Chalabi and that he iswaiting for me. Nabil Musawi and Arasan Habib Fili gave me the sum of $5000 fivethousand dollars and I left for Turkey and decided to travel to Germany instead ofgoingto London and then I learned that Mr. President, the Commander Saddam Hussein hasissued a decree ofproviding amnesty to all escapees and draft dodgers and thank God, Iwas blessed with this generosity and returned to my country, my land and have joined themilitary service

On Wednesday the 9th of December I went to Irbil to meet Nabil al-Musawiand upon my arrival, I went to Tariq's House, who is one of the opposition, he resides in'Ayn Kawah are and after I inquired about Nabil, it was revealed that he left for Zakhubefore my arrival by one day, because he came to Iraq this time through Turkey and notIran and I immediately followed him to Zakhu upon me hearing the news, I proceeded toNabil's special office and found him to be preparing to leave.He was stunned to see me and inquired about the years that have passed and where I wasand the reason for my return a second time to Iraq, he informed me that'Afaf hasinformed him about my meeting with her, he also informed me that 'Afafwas tasked witha mission which is to relay some information to the alleged Ma'rufwho resides in alSihah neighborhood in al-Sha'ab district and that he has informed her that he will call herfrom London before his arrival, he pointed out that 'Afaf came to Baghdad several timesto relay some instructions that they send through her.In the context of my conversation with him, I requested that I go to London with him, as Iwas really suffering and wish to join their ranks at the opposition this was according tothe directives from my Directorate, he welcomed the idea but he wanted me to stay inBaghdad, they will provide me with whatever I need, bearing in mind that I informed himthat I did not see my family from the time ofmy return which was six months ago, heinformed me that he will provide me with money that will enable me to buy a car and payhouse rent for two years at least, as they wanted me to be the main source in Baghdad, asthey have lost many of their agents and their sources following their departure fromKurdistan and the relocation of their offices to London, as everyone has went there tomake a living in Western countries, this has contributed to their deteriorated state as theyhave lost many of their operatives who were with them.Following to my persistence in joining them, I reached an agreement with him, that hewill send me his representative on the 26th of December, the alleged Abu-Salah (a lookalike, who resembles Mr. President May God bless and protect him), he informed me tobe prepared and not to mention this to anybody, what he really means is for me not toinform other elements that work for them [TC: the Opposition] and he requested me to bepresent in Abu-Tariq's house in Irbil on the 26th and that our departure will be after the
