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.
High profile operations
Its many successes in serving the AWM's security interests have earned the Committee a reputation for being extremely effective as an intelligence agency. Controversy exists over a few cases where it has employed the tactics of kidnapping and assassination. It has been at the forefront of almost every major AWM-backed operation since its assimilation in 2004.
Successful operations
- Location, capture, and summary execution of Nazi war criminal Charles Hayden. The CISO discovered that Hayden was hiding in exile in South Africa in 1980. He was captured and dragged from his apartment - naked - after his home was broken into by CISO agents. The agents later reported that the former Czar was in bed with two black Africans (one female and one male). He was executed after being beaten in the streets of Johannesburg.
- In 1981, CISO agents came in contact with a young Leftist in the United States by the name of John Hinckley, Jr. Hinckley was interested in help from the CISO in order to remove then Govenor Ronald Reagan from the Presidential race. CISO supplied Hinckley with weapons and the required intelligence. On March 30, 1981, Hinckly shot Reagan in Washington, D.C. with a CISO provided MP5KA sub-machine gun. Using CISO contacts inside the Pentagon, CISO used disinformation to throw the U.S. government off the trail of CISO. John Hinckley, Jr., was later captured attemtping to flee to Whittier. He was executed without a confession.
