Committee for Intelligence and Special Operations
The Committee for Intelligence and Special Operations (also known as the CISO and the Committee) is a large Committee for the Defense of the Revolution responsible for intelligence and special forces work involving the AWM. It was formed in 1978 by disillusioned, former agents of the Israeli intelligency agency Mossad. It was absorbed into the AWM soon after the ratification of the Articles of the Working People in 2004.
History
The CISO was formed in 1978 after disillusionment within the Mossad became rampant with the assassinations of Palestine fighters and former members and/or organizers of the Black September terrorist group. It was formed by four Leftist officers of Mossad to combat rapid corruption within the Israeli government and eventually grew into a Marxist revolutionary organization.
In 2004, the CISO contacted the Convention wishing to acquire the necessary information to become a member organization of the Armed Workers' Movement. CISO soon became a member group of the AWM and began operations almost immediately. It has since grown so large and active that it has been seperated into several departments with sub-committees in which to run each section of the organization.
