254 BY WAY OF DECEPTIONconcoct a scenario to convince them that the PLO was planningwar, not peace. The idea was to justify to the United States anIsraeli takeover of southern Lebanon.LAP produced photographs of all the armament depots of GeneralKhadra's PLA. Since they were a unit of the Syrian army, it washardly surprising that they had armaments depots for theirsupplies, but it served to provide convenient "evidence" that thePLA was preparing to attack Israel, even though the Mossad knewabout Arafat's frantic efforts to avoid a war.LAP also showed the CIA documents that had been captured fromthe PLO, showing actual attack plans of northern Israel. Again,this is neither unusual nor necessarily indicative of an impendingattack. In any military base, you could find such detailed plans.Whether the PLO intended to implement them, or whether theyhad even been approved, was a different matter. But the Mossadhad no intention of allowing such considerations to get in the wayof their own mischievous plans.Even before hostilities began, news releases and photographs werebeing prepared. And afterward it would be easy to come up withdocumentation to authenticate the "threat" to Israel from thePalestinians.On instructions from Arafat, Abu Taan, head of his PASCcoordination unit, sent two men to Frankfurt to organize thesmall-arms deal. The man is charge was Major Juad AhmedHamid Aloony, a 1969 graduate of the military academy in Algiers,who'd had political training in China during 1978 and 1979, andgraduated from a military school in Hungary in 1980. He wasjoined by Sergeant Abd Alrahaman Ahmed Hassim Alsharif, a1979 graduate of Cuba's military academy, and of the same schoolAloony attended in Hungary.The Mossad and the federal German police were not on friendlyterms. But the GSG-9, who were Israeli-trained, were verycooperative, as were the Hamburg special anti-terrorist police unit,which the Mossad code-named Tuganim, or "French Fries."The Tuganim would provide Mossad people with identification,just as if they were working for them. The Mossad
BY WAY OF DECEPTION 255had trained them, after all. They had even helped them interrogateArabs.Because the Tuganim were so cooperative, the Mossad wanted toset up the entire operation in Hamburg. As with the federal police,the Mossad's relationship with the central German federalintelligence was poor. But every German district has its own policeand intelligence force, so the Mossad connections are directly withthose.The Mossad also knew that Arafat planned to involve Isam Salem,a doctor, who was the PLO representative in East Berlin, in thedeal to arrange a loan with the Swiss banker, Ganud, for the smallarms needed for Force 17. Ganud had already been placed onstandby in the event the PLO needed an interim loan. Sinceweapons are considered "hot" items, no one wants them aroundfor long, so large interim loans are often necessary to swing dealsquickly.At the same time, Arafat had decided to bring a large shipment ofhashish from Lebanon. A group of Black Bloc members, in returnfor their just-completed training in Lebanon, would transport thehashish and unload it through the European underworld for cash,then give the cash to Isam Salem. He, in turn, would either pay forthe weapons or pay back Ganud if interim financing had beenrequired. Arafat also planned to use these Black Bloc members totransfer the arms back to Lebanon.All this information came to Mossad headquarters throughYahalomim ("Diamonds"), the department that handlescommunication from agents. Once an agent goes to a targetcountry, he is not handled any more by his katsa. Rather,communication between the agent and the Mossad is donethrough Tel Aviv headquarters.Armed with this information, the head of Mossad sat down withthe heads of Tsomet, Tevel, and security operations to map outtheir strategy. They had four major objectives: to stop Arafat fromgetting the weapons; to stop the attempted negotiations betweenthe PLO and Israel's foreign office; to obtain the full load ofhashish and dispose of it for cash; and to extract the loan fromGanud, leaving the PLO holding the bag. In addition to the obviouspolitical and strategic bene-
