Colonel Mohammed Radi Abdullah was a former colonel in the Jordanian Army. |
Colonel Mohammed Radi Abdullah was a former colonel in the Jordan Army. He was decorated by King Hussein of Jordan of Jordan for his bravery in the 1967 War. His family later emigrated to London after falling out with the king over the mass slaughter of Palestinians by the Jordan Army in 1970.1
Mohammed Radi Abdullah became known as a businessman who championed Arab and Palestinians causes in Europe. To recoup gambling and other losses, he began working for Anthony Pearson, who supplied intelligence information to Israel. Unwittingly, Mohammed Radi Abdullah helped Anthony Pearson acquire intelligence about Palestinian organizations in Europe by selling arms to them. This intelligence was then passed to Mossad, leading to the elimination of 14 or 15 Palestinians over a two-month period.1
Mohammed Radi Abdullah was recruited by Rafael Eitan in 1978 to work for an antiterrorist group in Israel, after Anthony Pearson made it clear that the £200,000 loan he offered Mohammed Radi Abdullah came from an Israel source.1
Mohammed Radi Abdullah was a key player in Israel "black" operations, including the 1986 plot to bomb an El Al plane, which was designed to discredit Syria. He instructed his cousin, Nezar Hindawi, in this plot. He was also involved in the Achille Lauro attack in 1985, which was an Israel "black" propaganda operation to portray Palestinians as ruthless terrorists. Rafael Eitan passed instructions to Mohammed Radi Abdullah, who then relayed orders to Abul Abbas to carry out a cruel attack.1
