SCI REPORT: DR. ROSS L. RIGGS TALKS ABOUT TERROR
AMERICA
is in a state of war. Al Qaeda, AQIM, AQAP, Iran, Hezbollah, HAMAS and
an untold number of agents from foreign countries and our own home grown
terrorists seek to bring about their desired changes by terrorizing the
citizens of the United States into inaction, wrong reactions and worse,
surrender. The key to defeating the would-be terrorists is
intelligence. Agencies both official and private sector work ceaselessly
to prevent further tragedy. Groups like the Langley Intelligence Group
(LIGNET)i, Griffith Colson Intelligence Services (GCIS)ii and the
Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT)iiidevelop methodologies for
intercepting chatter from across cyberspace and a host of other areas;
but their unequivocally best intel comes from viable and vetted HUMINT
or human intelligence. HUMINT can be simply defined as: that which you
are told by someone in a position to know the truth. Examples are many
about those who have trusted a particular source for reasons other than a
solid track record and have come up on the short end of quality
information at a critical time.
The contingency manager and those responsible for conducting
real-time risk analyses depend on all types of sources for their
information. Chatter, of course, is one of those. Most sources come with
some degree of fallibility because factors change, variables, by their
nature, are often unpredictable and let’s face it, the future is not
knowable to any degree of certainty. Human Intel, boots on the ground,
is the single most reliable source; depending of course upon whose feet
occupies those boots. How can you, as a contingency manager, develop the
kind of resources you must have to do your work, the work of saving
lives by up front, ahead of the curve information that is actionable and
accurate? After a short review of the concept of such a resource, the
folks at SCI and GCIS have prepared a systematic approach; a plan, if
you will, that contingency managers who may be either novices or old
hands should find useful. First, understand the Why you need such
resources, because they take time to develop, commitment to keep and
patience to protect. If you do not fully comprehend their value, you
will not find it worth the effort to pursue. That is a decision that
eventually you will regret. Begin now with a commitment to limit the
number of regrets you carry with you into retirement. Not having good
HUMINT does not need to be one of them.
The threat was real. Opposing armies had gathered on the border
and were lying with an ambush set. The story here is true; no names are
changed because none are innocent. The opposing enemy was from the
ancient region of Philistia. Their opponent was the armies of powerful
King Saul; King of Israel. Saul needed to know when and where the
Philistines would strike. He needed good Intel and he needed it
immediately. The historical text reports that Saul went to a medium, a
fortune teller, a witch or simply a person who believes (or causes
others to believe), that they can communicate with the dead. In this
case, the Witch of Endoriv successfully sees the deceased Samuel, Saul’s
former advisor. Saul gets his HUMINT directly from the deceased judge
of Israel. In this case the news was particularly negative for Saul but
there was no denying its veracity.
Professional intelligence agents usually do not contact spirits,
mediums or witches. Not only is it an unwise and unfruitful practice,
there is a biblical restriction on it. So how do Intel groups help
authorities to avoid another Boston, another Benghazi, Oklahoma City,
Beirut, or 9-11? The key for this particular article is to look at what
has happened to our intelligence matrix because of the source of the
Boston bombings. First, we must recap what exactly the Intel Matrix is
and then note the changes that Boston has brought to our understanding
of it.
The Matrix done correctly is more than a decision making model
that looks good at a briefing. It is an every risk manager’s key for
keeping his mind focused on situational awareness, contingency planning
and risk abatement. How can it be such a miracle and why does the Boston
bombing case make such a direct impact on this model? There are two
crucial questions which must be wrestled with in order for the answers
to make sense. Those who have used it properly have found it to be an
amazing tool.
How can the Risk Matrix be such a miracle? First, understand that
any tool is only as good as the hands of the artist or craftsman that
holds it. The same is true for the Matrix. By thinking through possible
and probable risks for any team under the risk categories of criminal,
medical, geographical and political, a team can rate those by their
probability and their impact. It is not their placement on the matrix
that is important, but the movement of a risk over time across the
Matrix from SW to NE or from low impact/low probability to high
impact/high probability. It is the movement of risk upon the map. A
perfect example of this was Benghazi in 2012 where for months the
probability of a terrorist attack was increasing and the negative impact
it would have was climbing. Pre-Benghazi Intel made a streak across the
Matrix that looked like a chart of rising health care costs! In the
months since Benghazi new threats or re-awakened older threats have
alerted managers to risks that were not even being considered in 2010.
It is within the confines of this example where already in 2013
the probability of events from China and from Korea was realized and
what was not seen as a threat was identified as an expanding risk. When
two young brothers, originally from Chechnya, brutally bombed the
revelers at the Boston Marathon an entirely new risk came to the fore.
The complete lack of regard for human life that it takes to set a large
explosive at the feet of an 8 year old boy is the trademark of Chechnyan
Muslim extremists. Who can forget the Beslan School Massacre
perpetrated against children by these madmen who claim to be freedom
fighters but in reality have an ostentatious hunger for the cruelest,
most vicious forms of homicidal madness?
It is within this context that Americans must now understand
their risk matrix is expanded by the probability of further attacks
against the U.S. by members of these Chechnyan groups that may well be
underwritten by some faction of Al Qaeda. A likely scenario is that the
AQAP (Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula) is the state sponsor of this
recent series of events in Massachusetts. An official situation report
states that the Boston attacks had “…unmistakable parallels with the
smaller scale terrorist attacks that radical Islamist groups based in
Yemen and Pakistan have attempted in the United States since 2001.”v The
situation report quoted here agrees with the analysis of the GCIS and
its Executive Council that groups such as AQAP and others have moved
toward smaller attacks that can be perpetrated by small cells operating
virtually independent of the team. The sitrep quoted here lists similar
bombings in the U.S. since 2001:
• NY Subway bombing attempt Sept 2009 – an
Afghan citizen arrested after attempting to purchase chemicals for a
TATP bomb
• Underwear bomber Dec 2009 a Nigerian man brings a bomb sewn into his underwear – credit for the event by AQAP
• Times Square bombing attempt, May 2010 a Pakistani attempted to
blow up a SUV in Times Square. Pakistani group Tehrik-e-Taliban was
behind it.
“The Heritage Foundation listed a total of 50 terrorist plots against the United States in an April 2012 report.”vi
AQAP
publishes a magazine titled Inspire designed to encourage the young of
Islam to reignite the violence against the west. It is the continuation
of the propaganda of Al Qaeda that is designed to bring young men from
wherever their homes might be to wage Jihad against the West. Available
on the Internet, in a recent edition was an article Make a Bomb in the
Kitchen of Your Mom by the AQ Chef.vii
Are attacks such as the Boston
bombings and the Ricin sent to our Washington leaders an end in
themselves or a methodology to divert America’s attention in preparation
for a major attack? The Director of GCIS and its Executive Council has
considered this question and has determined that if nothing else, Boston
has set the stage for just such an event. One of the earmarks of groups
such as Al Qaeda is to set up a smaller scale attack to observe the
responses of emergency personnel and then fine tune the larger attacks
to take advantage of those planned responses.
The term conspicuous by its absence applies to the lack of
attacks on the western half of the United States. Could it be that these
recent attacks are precursors to attacks which are not only bigger but
geographically distant? Certainly, Oklahoma City was in the west, but it
was a true homegrown terrorist without Al Qaeda ties. When discussing
threats to the western parts of the U.S., groups such as Abu Sayyaf are
of interest with their reach from SE Asia to America’s islands and west
coast which can be accomplished with very little difficulty.
Still,
American authorities in the western states will continue to look toward
Asia as well as the Middle East and everywhere in between. Deputy Chief
Michael Downing, Commander of the LAPD Counter Terrorism Group recently
told GCIS’s Director that “In this region we have active terrorist
plots…government of Iran operatives, Hezbollah, sovereign citizen,
homegrown violent extremists, animal rights groups” and others.viii
GCIS invoked a concern that even as the west coast braces for
what could be a missile attack from Korea; there remains a paramount
concern over the vulnerability of schools, particularly their central
charges: the children. Whether it is during the school sessions or as
they are in transit to and from the school, engaged in outdoor
activities or at school events such as sports competitions the variables
multiply which cause the risk factors to continue to grow. It is
impossible for any person other than the individual’s themself to
protect themselves because we have chosen to live in a free society.
That sentence bears repeating. Because we have chosen, as Americans to
live in an open and free society where the restrictions on personal
movement, choice of locations to live, shop, worship or just ‘be’, are
fairly few; we cannot depend on anyone other than ourselves to protect
us when someone tries to hurt us. We might be blessed that when a crime
starts to happen to us six police officers just happen to be standing
next to us, but that is usually not the case. Our safety services do
their absolute best to fulfill the commitment that has been unfairly
slapped upon them: to protect and serve. It is not logical to expect
that anyone will be there when you need help. Police respond to calls
for help. The dictionary defines respond as: “Do something in reaction
to something else.”ix
Police or guardians throughout history have
normally protected the citizens in their care by alerting them of coming
danger. The role of the citizen on the watchtower goes back to ancient
biblical times. In both the Wisdom writings of Judaism and the Old
Testament of the Christian faith, the watchman was required to sound the
alarm. He is warned that should he fail to sound the alarm as danger
approaches, the blood of the citizens would be on his hands. However, if
he did sound the alarm and the citizens ignored it; they would bear
their own guilt.x The fine line between sounding the alarm and playing
into the terrorists’ hands by escalating the tension and concern in a
community is part of the art and wisdom of intelligence reporting. The
key point must remain however that the official’s duty was to alert the
citizen of the impending danger. It was up to that citizen to act, to be
prepared to respond to the threat. Director Griffith articulated the
precept well: “I urge the American people to be ever vigilant and
cautious, shedding the threat of fear for the spirit of due diligence
and American citizenship.”xi
With the role of the watchman understood, contingency managers
demonstrate that the Matrix is created to be flexible to bring to bear
new threats and new information. One recent example is that the BBC
reported that North Korea has placed warheads on rockets in threatening
an escalation of their rhetoric.xii Additional terror related attacks
and events continue to take place even as, in the U.S., the Boston
Bombing story consumes most of the air time. In the Peshawar Province of
Pakistan, a suicide bomber got within the secure zone and within 500
yards of the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 31 (29 Mar 2013).
Sources on the ground report that the target of the attack was the
Frontier Constabulary (FC) Commander’s convoy. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan
(TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack in retribution for the
Constabulary’s on-going actions against the Taliban. The Commander
escaped with only minor injuries.xiii
In each of the cases reported here, the primary ingredient that
will define the difference between a deadly attack and one that has not
only warned the citizens but provided the information necessary for
apprehending those responsible is human intelligence (HUMINT). Very
simply, this refers to boots on the ground. Individual people, most
living their normal everyday lives within a region where trouble is
threatened who know what to report, when to report and to whom to
report. That is HUMINT. Of course, there are agents of the U.S. living
and working overseas with the primary purpose of providing HUMINT back
to their agencies. The examination of the need for HUMINT, the
development of appropriate sources and their maintenance are critical
subject matter for intelligence services. Without HUMINT resources,
intelligence groups can only function to re-evaluate the information
disseminated by others or take a best guess approach to forecasting.
Attempting to create the Matrix without the advantage of people on the
ground is to lose the eyes, ears and critical opinion that the Matrix is
designed to offer. Each organizational leader must proactively develop
new resources for HUMINT.
An incredible example of the need for boots on the ground type of
intelligence resulted in the bombings in Boston this month. According
to a Security Consulting Investigations Situation Report dated 19 April
2013, “News that two brothers from the Russian break-away province of
Chechnya who have lived in the United States for several years were
behind the April 16 bombings makes it likely that they were at least
(pseudo) “homegrown terrorists,” possibly radicalized by al-Qaeda
propaganda on the Internet. There also is a strong possibility that the
two men were somehow recruited and trained by al-Qaeda operatives to
stage the Boston attack.” A further report indicates that sometime in
2011 or before an ‘unnamed’ foreign government (Russia) contacted the
FBI to request that they research the two young men for the possibility
of them being involved in extremist and radical behavior as regards to
Chechnya. Initial reports stated that the FBI returned an inconclusive
report and that was apparently the end of any investigation into either
of them. However, more recent reports indicate that the FBI has known of
the two brothers as far back as 2009. The mother of the slain bomber
stated that, “My son would never do this,” Tsarnaeva said. “He was
controlled by the FBI for three to five years, they knew what my son was
doing, they knew what actions, on what sites on the Internet he was
going,” she said. “So how could this happen? They were controlling every
step of his.”xiv According to Tamerlan’s (the slain bomber) father
Anzor, he was present when the FBI interviewed Tamerlan in his rooms at
Cambridge. NEWSMAX reports also that at one point the Tamerlan who was
the older of the brothers, had been involved in a domestic violence
altercation and was eligible to be deported but was not.xv
The SCI
Situation Report reveals also that: “The possible involvement of Chechen
nationals in the Boston bombing would be consistent with efforts by
al-Qaeda — especially Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) — to
recruit non-Arabs to conduct terrorist activities. This appeared to be
the strategy AQAP employed when it recruited Nigerian Umar Farouk
Abdulmutallab, the so-called ‘underwear bomber’ who tried to destroy a
civilian airliner over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009. Nidal Hassan, the
Fort Hood shooter who shot 13 and injured 32 in 2009, had been
influenced by and was in email contact with AQAP radical cleric Anwar
al-Awlaki, who lived in Yemen at the time. Al-Awlaki also played a role
in influencing other terrorist plots in the United States and the UK.
Al-Awlaki was killed by a U.S. drone strike in September 2011.”xvi
Security Consulting Investigations’ continuing analysis indicates that
since the strict border requirements along the majority of the U. S.
CONUS have made it difficult for Americans to travel overseas for
training by Al Qaeda as well as for Al Qaeda operatives to get into the
United States. Therefore, the use of electronic media, social websites
and training through local mosques has become the standard fare for
radicalization of those who seek affiliation with the terrorist
organizations. Intelligence operatives within the United States would
have very little ability to intercept those here in the CONUS who are
taking part in such training unless their international communications
tripped a particular set of identifiable words, phrases or locations
that alerted super-computers and the analysts working them to review
that communication. However, trained boots on the ground in the places
where the training is believed to originate could lead operational
resources to be able to either capture or destroy the source of the
training. Often, it is the only reliable way to apprehend the truth.
HUMINT
in places such as North Korea, the Cartels of Mexico, any of Al Qaeda’s
branch offices, (including Abu Sayyaf on Mindanao in the Philippines),
across the Balkans and the Mediterranean, and particularly in North
Africa is more valuable than gold in today’s market! Quality HUMINT, for
example, was responsible for redirecting the investigation into who was
responsible for the half-hearted attack on the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo
in October of 2011.
xvii xviii
The brand new embassy building, set far back from the street was
the focus of one lone gunman who strolled across the street with a rifle
in hand as if to make a one man charge against the heavily fortified
structure. Bosnian security on the exterior of the building moved
haplessly to cut off the path of the intruder, still a good 200 yards
away from the exterior walls. Those who sent this misguided, if not
brave, zealot on his mission planned to heap the blame for the supposed
attack against the U.S. upon the Wahhabi Muslims, a violent sect who
live in the mountains surrounding the city of Sarajevo. Their aim was to
undercut U.S. and U.N. support for the Muslim population of the Bosnian
Federation thus improving the chances for those in the Republik of
Serbska (in the Bosnia Herzegovina pseudo-coalition) who desire to break
free from the Dayton Accord treaty that keeps the divided country
loosely together and are bargaining for Serbska to rejoin Serbia. Boots
on the ground were able to clarify that the man was not clearly
cognizant of the ramifications of his actions. Also, that he had been
led to take such action by evil men who manipulated him. These men knew
they were ostensibly sending this man to his death, expecting that when
he was shot and killed he could never tell the story of those who played
mind games with him to get him to attack the Americans. (A sharpshooter
shot him in the kneecap and ended his siege which lasted almost 20
minutes as he shot off 105 bullets, never using his two hand grenades.
Although he was, by religion, of the Wahhabis, he was not articulate
enough to understand the full ramifications other than he wanted to die a
martyr and go to heaven. Neither did he care about the political games
in which he had become a disposable pawn. The purpose of recounting this
short tale is that no act or artifact is small when it is being
parlayed into an international incident driven by evil purposes. HUMINT
may be the single strand of truth within the story. HUMINT allows
investigators to pull on those loose threads to unravel the sources of
these threats and attacks.
Often reports that come from within
areas such as Hebron within the West Bank area of Israel show complete
unrest and the probability of increased violence against the Jewish
quarter of the city and are often vitriolic in their speech and seldom
indicate any sense of hope for the communities to survive. Having put my
own boots on the ground in Hebron just one week after a reported
chaotic and violent episode, it is possible to report on the exact tenor
of the Jewish Quarter irrespective of what the conventional wisdom (CW)
might be from those who have not been in the Quarter. In contingency
management it is crucial to understand the normal disparity that is
prevalent between the CW and reality. Even when one cannot get a
first-hand reading on the situation, a contingency manager may
appropriately factor in a degree of +/- with the CW when preparing
analyses. How much of a plus or minus depends a great deal on the
experience and artistry of the analyst. There is, as mentioned, a
certain amount of art work to developing a strong indication of movement
along the Matrix one way or another. Not every person with a computer
and an imagination is cut-out to be an analyst.
Selection of the
proper personnel for international risk analysis is critical to
long-term success of both the analyst and the agency. As with most
assignments in cross-cultural settings, the primary qualification for a
good boots on the ground type of analyst is language. It is impossible
to underestimate the value of strong language skills. Naturally (no pun
intended) the best analyst for a given culture is a natural born citizen
of that culture. When that is not possible then a good selection is an
expatriate who knows the language fluently and is well versed in the
geographical area within which he or she is to be operating. Most bog
sources are not analysts at all but, just that, sources. They need not
be as highly trained or skilled as the analyst but operate under the
care and guidance of one. There are particular types of information that
are most helpful in any given situation. A bog source that is not
intensely trained as an analyst can be taught which type of information
is the most helpful in just such a situation. For example, in a criminal
or political matter the names of the head of the snake are invaluable
but not always available. What can be found is where the movers and
shakers of a particular scam or operation, even terrorist cells, are
principally operating. In the event of a terrorist cell, the comings and
goings of specific individuals is very crucial. Are they leaving the
country and if so, at what kind of schedule does there seem to be. When
people leave, how many and for how long?
The excellent HUMINT
will be able to access that information for the agent without becoming
noticed. The operative should look for possible candidates for grooming
as a source that come across this type of information in their normal
course of business. You do not want someone who lives in one part of
town completely opposite where the activity is, nor do you want someone
who is obviously western or requiring an excuse to be in the
neighborhood and while there is seen as always asking questions. A solid
source can gain the information needed without ever asking questions.
The
source must not be prone to gambling, girls and gratuities of any kind.
To follow the cliché lines of a James Bond movie, those types of folks
are just dying to get caught and turned against the handler (people who
work on behalf of the analyst or their company to maintain the
connection to the source, including dropping payments all planned to
keep the actual analyst or the company for which he works unidentifiable
by the source if at all possible. This is the way one hopes it will
work but it is not often reality. Often time and circumstances do not
allow for such an elaborate set up. The source may be someone directly
connected to the analyst and is doing what his lot in life has thrown
for him to do. The two speak when needed and the analyst will usually
come away with some piece of the puzzle. In fact, on the field, he may
never see the entire picture, that will be up to the FUSION Centers to
keep all the pieces coming together.
We have addressed
specifically some of the sources that are used and the methodologies for
selecting sources when it comes to counterterrorism. Those are highly
prized pieces of information because the fall-out from a missed
opportunity there is always in the 5 by 5 or the extreme NE section of
the Matrix which is never good. Timeliness of reporting capabilities is a
critical factor for a BOG unit. Mentioned earlier were scenarios
involving the health outlook for a region or perhaps the housing market
if the economy is about to take a nose-drive. In these days, economic
collapse of one country, such as the debacle on Crete right now, can
cause a domino effect and a myriad of difficulties worldwide. Stock
markets are particularly vulnerable to the economic fissures that occur
when dictators are thrown out or indictments handed down. The vacuum
that can be created in a power structure can also set the stage for
major and rapid change. HUMINT on the rapidly changing nature of such
series of events are vital for the analysts to know in as close to as
real time as necessary. It is unwise to have a source that cannot be in
nearly immediate contact. When events occur so rapidly, the delay in
information can be a deal breaker. Weather related events can be
critical and yet the information on them cab be completely useless if
they are not real-time events. The speed at which a tsunami hits will
not allow for second guessing because it is not known which way the wind
has shifted. Lives will literally hang in the balance when time becomes
critical. The nature of the information can be as deadly as the lack of
it when it comes to something as dangerous as an international health
issue. The avian or bird flu as well as the swine flu that swept across
parts of Western and Central Europe sent analysts running to books on
the subject for they were attempting to read-up on the risks that they
had never accounted for in their mock-ups.xix
Analysts, nor
their sources, are expected to be well-versed on every possible threat.
They should know, however where to find the accurate information as well
as the Best and the Brightest who deal with these risks all the time or
have studied them. The world will not (and need not be) impressed with
either the source’s or the analyst’s IQ. What will matter is if they are
well enough versed in the nature of the event that they can discuss it
rationally and without a concern that what they are about to say will be
contradicted not out of academic concern for accuracy but from them
simply not understanding the facts well enough to speak on the issue.
When
the health and safety of one’s fellow countrymen is in the balance,
little can be said that is noteworthy if it is not also minute by minute
immediately at hand.
The development of quality analyst/source
teams is of paramount importance in today’s world. Never before have so
many world-class issues on the burner all at the same time. SCI’s
careful consideration of the recent events in Boston and Washington D.C.
has led us to feel confident that the event in Boston had a two-part Al
Qaeda linked plot that was disrupted in part by the quick apprehension
of one and the death of the other suspect. They had much more explosive
devices upon their persons and in their possession. Those tools are only
distributed with a purpose. Theirs’ was not completely fulfilled.
Therefore:
• The brothers, now of notorious reputation, were assigned further roles but failed to fulfill them.
• Whether it was the brothers’ assignment or another, SCI believes
that a second front was to have been opened by them but it did not
materialize.
• SCI believes the second front will be somewhere
either on the west coast of United States or near there. A primary
target is expected to be Las Vegas.
• SCI also believes the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska’s oil fields remain a probable, though less so, target.
Developing
qualified, vetted and available sources of human boots on the ground
intelligence requires first dedicated agents and analysts that will work
hand in glove with the resource. The source should preferably be a
national partner. If it must be an expat then their language skills must
be as close to a natural citizen’s speech. This is not only for the
accuracy of the translation but also the subtle nuances of the culture
(some are not so subtle). There must be an ability in the source to
detect when he is being fed information for purposes other than those
which are helpful to our nation. The source must be free from addictions
and avenues of entrapment that are so common to men, so well used by
women (which argues for female resources over males – an argument I feel
free to push forward). The source must be capable of both timely
communications with handlers and to step into a hyper-connectivity when
things turn critical. Depending upon the nation or culture within which
the source is working, he or she must be resilient to the crush of
working within shrouds of secrecy that can be more choking than
intriguing. When all is said and done, even with the best possible
intelligence sources - if the machine into which it is all fed fails to
perceive the nuances, track the changes and deliver the warning in a
timely manner; all is for naught.
Allow us at Security Consulting Investigations on behalf of our
team at Griffith Colson Intelligence Services and a myriad of partners
across the globe echo Sir Winston Churchill from the days after the
British were pushed back to the sea and it seemed the war all but lost.
From the Home Office he issued the following communique: (Strictly Confidential) 28 V 40 (May 28, 1940)
“In
these dark days the Prime Minister would be grateful if all his
colleagues in the Government, as well as important officials, would
maintain a high morale in their circles; not minimizing the gravity of
events, but showing confidence in our ability and inflexible resolve to
continue the war till we have broken the will of the enemy…”xx
