    The former head of the Falcons Intelligence Cell, who is currently the head of the National Security Agency, Abdul Karim Abd Fadel "Abu Ali Al-Basri", revealed the details of the events of the sectarian war in Iraq The head of the National Security Agency, in an interview with the newspaper (Al-Sabah) and followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), said about "the exciting secrets in the process of (eradicating sectarianism), which in its real events are closer to fiction in an unparalleled way compared to other known secret operations.”

     

      

    He explained, "On the eighteenth of September 2014, it was reported from our intelligence source that there were two explosive vehicles  that set off at dawn from Fallujah to Baghdad to try to target and blow up the shrine of Imams Musa al-Kadhim and 

    Muhammad al-Jawad (peace be upon them) and the Kadhimiya prison camp.”


    He went on to say: "In the meantime, the car bomb was placed under surveillance and reached (Jeddah checkpoint) after passing on Ghazaliya Road, and the frightening irony that was within our expectations was to prevent its entry because it does not carry (certificate) to enter the city of Kadhimiya, which raised our fears of being detonated by a terrorist remotely, but we exceeded that by facilitating its passage and transferring it directly to one of the garages surrounding the (Muhammad Al-Jawad) roundabout adjacent to (Bab Al-Murad) for the purpose of dismantling it and planting a communication chip inside it.”


    The former head of the National Security Agency indicated that "the amount of explosives carried by the vehicle after its dismantling was estimated at more than 400 kilograms of high explosive ammonia nitrate that was laid under the seats, and therefore there was a destructive stockpile sufficient for a small area completely with a destructive force (1.5 tons) of high explosives.”


    Al-Basri continued, "The main concern of the Falcons Cell and the General Command of the Armed Forces was to focus on preventing casualties by keeping visitors and vehicles away from the killing area extending from the roundabout of Muhammad Al-Jawad (Bab Al-Murad) towards the Two Holy Shrines, while Abu Ali Al-Basri and some of his men from the Falcons Cell were concerned and directed his effort towards implementing his recommendations to empty the (Al-Jawad) roundabout and its 

    approaches .


    When the people of the capital heard the sounds of explosions coming from the old city of the holy Kadhimiya on the evening of the eighteenth of September 2014, and between the Ashura bombings in the holy city of Karbala in 2004, and the bombing of the shrine of Imams Ali Al-Hadi and Al-Hassan Al-Askari "peace be upon them" in Samarra on February 22, 2006, the aim was to drag Iraq into a horrific sectarian war, but there was an intelligence cell rising, the "Falcons Intelligence Cell" amid an intelligence war that was the main factor in thwarting dozens of terrorist operations before they were carried out, and the work of the cell elements For many years, they have been harming criminal organizations, misleading terrorists about the reality of counter-operations, infiltrating them and taking them to the "death trap".
