- TEMPE, AZ - Chinese air
force instructors are training Iraqi pilots for low-level suicide missions
against U.S. forces mobilizing in Kuwait to topple Saddam Hussein.
-
- Western intelligence sources say there are over 100
kamikaze pilots based close to the present no-fly zone in southern
Iraq.
-
- Their Russian-built MIGs and French Mirage jets will
be equipped with biological and chemical weapons.
-
- All the suicide pilots are under the command of Saddam,s
son, Qusay.
-
- "Many of their instructors are from the China's
People Liberation Army air force. They are teaching the suicide pilots
in the technique of below the radar flying," revealed Seeds of Fire
author, Gordon Thomas.
-
- Seeds of Fire: China and the Story Behind the Attack
on America, published by Dandelion Books, is available in all bookstores,
at www.dandelionbooks.com, www.gordonthomas.ie, www.newsmax.com, and for
the trade through Biblio Distribution, Ingram, Baker & Taylor and
other major wholesalers ($25.95).
-
- Intelligence sources have told Thomas that the Chinese
instructors are from the elite 38th air division. The unit is known to
have a number of combat-trained women pilots. But none are believed to
be in Iraq.
-
- Details of the kamikaze pilots were given to President
Bush as he prepares to meet the Chinese leadership this week.
-
- The information further hardens the feeling in
Washington
that Saddam is to be the next target in the war against terrorism.
Virtual
confirmation of this came from vice-president Dick Cheney in the capital
this week. Next month he sets off on a 10-day briefing by Arab states
for the attack on Iraq.
-
- But the CIA and Mossad, Israel's vaunted intelligence
service, have warned that "this will be no Afghanistan."
-
- Says Gordon Thomas: "The preparation of the suicide
pilots is proof of that. Their Russian-built MIGs and French Mirage jets
will be equipped with biological and chemical weapons."
-
- In Seeds of Fire, Thomas details the ever-growing links
between China and Iraq that include providing Saddam with state-of-the-art
weapons systems - both offensive and defensive.
-
- Already an Internet bestseller and sold to 44 countries,
Seeds of Fire has been described by critics as essential reading for all
those who want to know the background to the preparations for the assault
on Iraq.
-
- "Both the CIA and Mossad have picked up intercepts
to show Saddam has ordered the number of kamikazes to be increased to
200 - the month the second Gulf War is widely expected to be
launched,"
said Thomas.
-
- His analysis of events since last September has placed
the 69-year-old author - who has written on intelligence affairs for the
past 30 years - in the forefront of analysts.
-
- Both UPI and Reuters have confirmed his reports. And
the CIA and Justice Department have said that the documents and evidence
he published in Seeds of Fire are totally accurate.
-
- "When he arrives in Beijing, President Bush will
attempt to enlist China's support for the attack on Iraq. I believe that
at most, the Chinese will be non-committal. In reality they will totally
oppose it when the time comes.
-
- "Equally worrying for Bush is that no European
ally, with the exception of Britain, will back the war. It is the same
in the Middle East. The best Cheney can hope for in his trip next month
is a series of nods from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and the Gulf States.
He should remember that a nod is not an Arab sign of agreement. It is
merely a common courtesy. The Arabs don't like saying no. It is
impolite,"
said Thomas.
-
- But high-ranking Pentagon sources have told the author
this week that America will go it alone - "It's unfinished business
this time," said one source to the author.
-
- "The crunch will come in May when the United
Nations
will again demand that Saddam allow in its weapons inspectors to check
on Iraq's arsenal. But the Iraqi vice-president, Taha Yassin Ramadam,
has said that will not be allowed to happen," said Thomas.
-
- Mossad agents have confirmed that the kamikazes are
all volunteers. For every one selected there are five more waiting to
fill their place.
-
- "They constantly fly practice missions over the
Iraqi desert, often no more that 50 feet above the sand. U.S. defenses
will only have moments to intercept them," said Thomas.
-
- U.S. satellites have pinpointed a number of bunkers
in Iraq from where bio-chemical warheads are ready to be moved to the
kamikaze bases.
-
- "The one certainty is this. The further we are
away from the last Gulf War, the closer we are to the next" said
Thomas.
-
- In Seeds of Fire he reveals the deal China made with
President Bush,s father - then in the Oval Office - to provide reluctant
support for the first Gulf War.
-
- "It won't just happen this time. This president
is determined to complete what his father failed to do. The problem is
that Iraq is not Afghanistan," said Thomas.
-
- He added that the mood is echoed in Israel.
-
- "Iraqi suicide bombers could strike there as well.
They would come in over Jordan and go for such a high-value target as
Dimona, Israel,s nuclear facility in the Negev desert. One strike and
Israel would become a wasteland. That is the reality of China training
those suicide bombers," concluded Thomas.
-
- Using his unequalled intelligence contacts, the author
of Seeds of Fire will continue to provide news-breaking briefings to
support
the revelations in his bestseller.
