SUMMARY OF
INFORMATION
SG1B
(phonetic), is a Lebanese national, a Moslem
fundamentalist, about 42/45 years of age, holding the rank of
Colonel (or LTC) in the Lebanese Army. He is somewhat short,
slim, sports a mustache, customarily wears blue conservative
suits and appears to walk with somewhat of a stoop.
He is known
to sport a red stone (ruby) on a white turban which he wears to
attend religious services. Shortly after the arrival of USMC LTC
William (Rich) Higgins in Lebanon as a member of a United Nations
(UN)
contingency ,
approached three influential
Lebanese
politicians to obtain a sum of money,
the equivalent of about
$250,000 in gold and cash, to arrange for the abduction of LTC
Higgins.
The purpose of the abduction was to silence Higgins who
appeared to be blatantly and explicitly supportive of a Syrian-
supported takeover of the Lebanese government.
On the political

spectrum, the three politicians approached by

at the cabinet level, albeit in positions secondary importance,
and in capacities described "non-ministerial. "

army Colonel, a member of the
Iranian Red Guard, to arrange for the abduction of Higgins

is not an assassin; his intent was
to silence Higgins from engaging in what was perceived as

repeated, ignorant and outrageous outbursts against the better
interests of Lebanon.
Noted that
can be bribed and an
SG1A
early release of Higgins can be effected
as a result of this
bribery.
The Hezbollah group in Lebanon was
invited and directed
to abduct Higgins.
Strangely enough, the Hezbollah cell was not
particularly anxious to kidnap Higgins; the group was lured by
the money; it was provided with guns, ammunition and logistical
support.
A review of events at the time of Higgins capture (Feb
will reveal that it was an inopportune moment for the
88)
Hezbollah cell
in Lebanon to carry out the abduction.
The
Hezbollah captors in Lebanon are currently out of funds;
they
are disgruntled, tired, discouraged,
and are amenable to rapidly
affect the release of Higgins.

contact in Iran was highly decorated
Iranian army
officer, a Colonel
and a member of the Red Guard.
Attempts to
phonetically determine his name resulted in "Gabdul-'ad-
Bullah/Ballah-an -Gabdul" and variations
thereto.
He was
described as a somewhat handsome individual proud of his silver-
yellow uniform.
He is known as an orator, a diplomat, and above
all, a highly decorated and a
top ranking senior colonel
in the
Red Guard.
He is mainly associated with the training of
guerrillas (or guerrilla forces)
via subliminal, mind control
techniques that ultimately result in the formation of a unit of
self-convinced martyrs who readily and willingly die for the
Ayatollah under any plausible pretext.
He received this training
mandate from the Ayatollah and is known to have performed
this
training function for about seven years.

SG1A
For some unexplainable reason ,
the Iranian colonel cannot be
reached or contacted by
at this time.
However, contact
with the Iranian colonel
is not crucial to the release of Higgins
SG1A
at this time.
once successfully bribed and playing the
role of the self-appointed saviour of Lebanon, can use available,
alternate contacts to secure the expeditious release of Higgins.
