[bearbeiten] Nachweis
Bill Roggio berichtete am 20.02.2008 von einer "erfolgreichen" Operation eines Killerkommandos Task Force 88 im Irak[1].
Chris Floyd berichtete am 07.03.2008 bei Counterpunch von Kriegsverbrechen der Task Force 88[2][3].
Die Existenz der Task Force 88 wurde im November 2008 im Artikel "Secret Order Lets U.S. Raid Al Qaeda in Many Countries" in der New York Times unter Berufung auf Senior Level Executives bestätigt[4]:
"For example, shortly after Ethiopian troops crossed into Somalia in late 2006 to dislodge an Islamist regime in Mogadishu, the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command quietly sent operatives and AC-130 gunships to an airstrip near the Ethiopian town of Dire Dawa. From there, members of a classified unit called Task Force 88 crossed repeatedly into Somalia to hunt senior members of a Qaeda cell believed to be responsible for the 1998 American Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania."
[bearbeiten] Struktur
Zur Struktur der Killereinheit behauptete ein Cowboy Jihad am 20.02.2008 folgendes[5]:
Now reportedly renamed to TF-88, this cream of Western Special Operators consists of several elements: TF Black - operating chiefly in Southern Iraq - made up of an SAS sabre squadron, supported by a Company of SFSG (TF Red). Some SBS operators are thought to be attached to TF Black. TF Blue - US Navy SEALs from DEVGRU (Seal Team 6) TF Green - 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - or 'Delta Force' TF Orange - electronic intelligence gathers Elements of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), US 24th Special Tactics Squadron, the UK's 7 and 47 RAF Squadrons provide specialised air support for TF-88. CIA operatives alongside the UK's Joint Support Group and SRR are believed to be attached to the Task Force to provide intelligence support. 18 UKSF Signals and their US equivalents (Task Force Orange) provide secure comms and eavesdropping capabiltiies. The primary role of TF-88 is to hunt down senior members of Al-Qaeda operating in Iraq. To this end, the Task Force has had several successes including the killing of Al-Zarqawi. Elements of the Task force have also been active in hunting down Al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.
