Iranian military units are looking to bolster Islamic extremism in the U.S. by turning local mosques into "terror command centers," reports a senior fellow at EMPact America and former CIA operative, who goes by the alias Reza Kahlili.
Kahlili reports how the plan is being rolled out by Iran's Revolutionary Guards and its unit of Quds Forces, which are responsible for managing Iranian-backed terror networks around the world:
[The groups] have created two special units to undermine the regimes in the Persian Gulf and push America out of the region.
The Guards are using Imam Ali mosques around the globe, including some in the U.S., as terror command centers.
Unit 110 and Unit of Madinah – named after the second holiest city in Islam, the burial place of the Prophet Mohammad – were established to remove the U.S from the Gulf, sources report.
We learned Kahlili's expertise is based on his experiences as a retired CIA agent planted in Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Using a pseudonym to protect his identity, he wrote the 2010 book A Time to Betray, which is used by the Joint Counterintelligence Training Academy in Maryland, where he is also an instructor.
His report today, informed by an ex-intelligence officer who defected to a country in Europe, reveals mosques around the world bearing the holy name Imam Ali are "under the operation of the Guards’ intelligence office":
Noteworthy are the ones in Stockholm and Hamburg. Other mosques are in New Jersey, New York and Ohio, the former officer said.
