# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: [CT] Afghan Sources in Wikileaks
Below are a few of the leaked documents that appear to out Afghan
informants, with relevant sections bolded. Certainly not an exhaustive
list, am only up through March 2007, likely many more, but did not want
e-mail to become unwieldy.
3/27/2007 4:30
Size and Composition of Patrol: 29 x US, 1 x CAT 1 TERP, 30 x ANA (6 x
HMMWVs, 3 x Ford Rangers)
A.Type of patrol:Mounted AND Dismounted
B.Task and Purpose of Patrol: 3/C conducts leader engagement, QA/QC of
various projects, and ANP assessment in Sar Hawze district vicinity WB 015
645 NLT 270430MAR07, in order to assess governance and security conditions
of the district and provide support to the district level government.
C.Time of Return: 1100Z
D.Routes used and Approximate times from point A to B:
>From Grid/FOB To Grid/FOB Route Travel
FOB OE Sar Hawze District center RTE Jeep / Navigator (100 mins), 10-25
km/h
Sar Hawze District center FOB OE RTE Navigator / Jeep (100 mins), 10-25
km/h
E.Disposition of routes used: RTE Jeep remains green, however, river
crossings are becoming slightly more difficult due to the highly
trafficked bypasses. Water levels appear to be average, but the roads
leading to the crossings are degraded significantly. The grid WB 10602
47169 remains treacherous, as LNs have dug away at the mountain to allow
traffic to pass, however, the erosion next to the road will
catastrophically fail during the next influx of precipitation. RTE
Navigator remains amber at best, and is still heavily pitted and deformed
from the hundreds of potholes caused by heavy traffic and rainfall.
Recommend to propose RTE Navigator as a road project.
F.Intelligence: (HUMINT/PROPHET/OBSERVATION): Conducted a private meeting
with one of the police chiefs sources. His name is Abdul Rahman. In this
meeting he told us that earlier this morning he spotted Engineer Mujeed
along with 25 other personnel. He said that Mujeed was heavily armed and
was in the middle of a movement near the town of Kandele. We were told
that the group was split into 2 groups. One of 12 and the other 14. This
source told that he has only seen Mujeed twice before in his life but was
certain it was him. The groups were wearing predominantly black and white
garb, and there was a donkey spotted with them. The source, Rahman,
informed us that he was moving about an historic area in the vicinity of
Kandele, a small village consisting of two compounds. Additionally, Wali
Mohammed said that he enjoys freedom of maneuver in the area and he has
occupied a fighting position/cave in that area. When asked how far away
the group was spotted, the source estimated about 30km to the north
northeast. The group was armed with AK-47s, RPGs, and rockets (probably
RPGs). The source has reported to Wali Muhammad that the last time
Mujeed was in the area approximately 6 months ago, he came to Rahmans
compound and burned supplies given to him by coalition forces and
threatened to kill people the next time the LNs cooperate or receive
anything from the CFs. At the time of reporting, Wali Mohammad said he
had his ANP out in Sar Hawze investigating to see if they could gather
more information. The source also told us that the only way to get to his
location was to dismount vehicles in the vicinity of WB 075 603, the
village of Towdabay, and move into the mountains. Rahman seemed genuinely
concerned for the safety of Sar Hawze, and even more so, he appeared to be
very loyal to Wali Mohammed. Rahman was open with his information,
appeared to rattle off the information quickly, and was formerly a UNAMA
employee. It is interesting to note, Wali Mohammed has a lot of support
from the local people and will be a key player for future missions. He
has started an informant program (unknown how it is funded) that employs
multiple sources to gain intelligence for him. The sources include a
female source that works all around the district, and a special source in
the village of Martsak currently, the Martsak source is in Miram Shah
conducting intelligence gathering for Wali Mohammed. The sources report
to Wali Mohammed at random times, but roughly once a month. Wali Mohammed
was very careful in protecting the sources identify he removed all
unnecessary personnel from the room, only allowing his bodyguard and us to
remain. NFTR.
G.Local Nationals encountered:
Name: Wali Mohammed
Position: Police Chief of Sar Hawze
Location: Sar Hawze district center
General Information: Today, Wali Mohammed was very anxious to inform us
that one of his sources had information regarding Engineer Mujeed this is
the second time he has reported information on Mujeed in the past 4 days.
He appears to remain concerned for the safety of his people, and was very
willing to accompany our patrol to assess the projects in his village.
Today was a major IO victory, as the villagers of Sar Hawze were able to
see US forces, ANP from Sar Hawze, elders of Sar Hawze, and ANA all
working together as one, cooperating to improve the village of Sar Hawze
as we walked from project to project. As mentioned above, Wali Mohammed
impressed us with his use of LN sources to gain situational awareness on
enemy activity in his district. This is something never before seen in AO
Destroyer, and we were quite pleased with his proactivty and concern.
Name: Pir Mohommed
Position: Sar Hawze Elder
Location: Sar Hawze district center
General Information: Despite the abrupt ending to our engagement with
him at FOB OE, he was not upset at all with US forces and greeted very
warmly with hugs. He was escorted by Ghulam, and immediately asked us how
we were doing and was very receptive our visit. He was happy to see us
because of our developing relationship and also because of our frequent
visits. We spoke to him about the projects and our last visit he showed
us all of the projects sites as promised in our last engagement and was
extremely friendly. We believe atmospherics in the village were
significantly more positive due to our growing relationship with Pir
Mohammed.
Name: Abdul Rahman
Position: Source for Wali Mohammed
Location: Sar Hawze district center
General Information: Kharooti tribe, Sipadre sub-tribe, and his fathers
name is Mohammed Hussein. He was very straight forward and got to the
point. He provided all information he knew, and also answered all
questions that we had for him. He was relaxed being around coalition
forces, even the ANA commander, and seemed genuinely concerned. Although
we cannot verify, the manner in which he provided information to us seemed
to be honest. We look forward to hearing follow-up reports from him, and
he mentioned that he would return to Wali Mohammed with further
information on Mujeed as soon as it became available. He seemed very
loyal to Wali Mohammed and the objective of gathering intelligence.

Position: Informant
General Information:
Reported that Zardran (commander) is holding a meeting in about 2-3 days
with about 300-400 Taliban. He is planning on holding the meeting at
Mameed Millah, which is a large compound located on a mountain near the
village of Harseen. He stated that the 300-400 Taliban are staging at
Miramshah. Shabib received this information from his brother who is a Taxi

that his motive for giving us the information was that his nephew is in
the ANA at Bermel and he wanted to protect him.

Tribe: Safiuli
Sub-tribe: Misman Khel
Village: Moni Khel

that they are pleased to see that the Americans have built a COB at
Marghah but he was concerned that it was not safe for the herders in the
area because they go into the mountains to retrieve there sheep and goats.
He is worried that we would think that the herders were Taliban. He also
wanted us to try to build a dam because it would benefit all of the local
farmers.

really receptive to our presence. He really wasnt interested in hearing
what we had to say.
F.Disposition of local security:

formula, 10 bags of flour, 20 notebooks
H.Atmospherics: (reception of HCA, reactions to ANSF and Coalition forces,
etc): In both of the villages that we visited the children were the first

out to speak with us. They were real receptive to the HCA and wanted us to
help the villages more.
I.Afghan Conservation Corps nominations/Status:
J.Conclusion and Recommendation (Patrol Leader): (Include to what extent
the mission was accomplished and recommendations as to patrol equipment
and tactics.)
The mission was accomplished. The tailgate med caps have been effective in
the past and we should see positive results from them in the local area
around the COP. We need to continue to engage the Local villages around
the COP in order to build a good relationship between the locals and team
headhunter which will increase the amount of walk in sources. Nothing
further.

Meeting with COL Shahwali, ANP Provincial Officer. Discussion Items:
During lunch, discussed the recent NY Times article which discussed the
poor ANP. Shahwali says MoI has said the article is incorrect. I told him
I believe the comments regarding poor accountability and corruption were
correct. We discussed it in some
more detail.
Discussed several bits of information:
1) Moulawi Sharrif, occassionally operating in his property in Janikhel
district, near Shakhilabad, but
usually in Pakistan or Dubai (where he owns a business) is still
supporting TB activities financially and was involved in the murder of
Adam Khan, former Shakhilabad SG. His nephew, Sayed Sanad, was captured
and killed by the tribe of Adam Khan after the murder. Five others were
detained and confessed to complicity in the murder but the tribe asked for
their release, saying the killing of Sayed was retribution enough. Most of
this has been reported before, to include the info re: Moulawi Shariff.
Niam, a farmer in JK, maintains Shariff&amp;amp;apos;s property and
interests in his absence.
2) an ANP informant went to Auband, Ghazni and spoke to Moulawi
Shamsullah, reportedly a very influential TB leader... he said that the
one legged mullah in Mest, at the Kalagee Mosque is still greatly
influencing the mullahs and TB in the areas around Mest and KK. Other
information pertaining to the one legged (missing right leg) nameless
Mullah suggests he was associated with the S-BAD DC burning and the
assassination of Adam Khan. Adam Khan&amp;amp;apos;s wife reported seeing
a one legged man leading activity the night of Khan&amp;amp;apos;s murder.
3) Gul Mohammad, owns a pharmacy in Shakhilabad, from KK, gave fuel to TB
for the burning of the SBAD DC. Prior to the attack, Gul reportedly
inflated the numbers and tried to scare the locals and the ANP (told them
to give their weapons to the TB if they attacked), said 60 - 70 men were
going to attack IOT scare ANP away.
We discussed the fact that ANP should detain individuals they believe are
complicit in crimes. Numerous excuses were made by the SBAD SG.
Discussed the MK event a week ago re: Taj Mohammad, further ingerpointing
between ANP and ANA, discussed the need for ANSF cooperation.
Discussed ongoing district center project, Ajmal Khan asked for us to ask
the contractor to stop work as the concrete cannot settle any more this
season and to resume work in the spring.
Re: solar lights in district, asked for the lights to be emplaced soon
before the holes ice up and work is no longer possible. Holes are dug and
ready.
Requested Ajmal Khan bring us a list of needy families in SBAD for
possible HA distro.
Shahwali said that EN Mujeed has come down from his mountain area and is
living somewhere else in Sar Hawza. Shawali will try to get more
information. Says many locals in Paktika believe Mujeed is being paid by
the GoA or CF and that is why no one is taking any action against him.
Reported by the Shura in a meeting with SH SG Qadir Gul,
Mujeed&amp;amp;apos;s men fired an RPG at a CF helo that flew overhead 3
days ago, no contact.
end of report.
Additional Meeting Attendees: Ajmal Khan, Shakhilabad Sub-Governor; Ajmal,
linguist
PRT Assessment: It was a good chance to meet Ajmal Khan. He is full of
excuses on why he and his ANP cannot do things. Blamed numerous things
other than their own ineffectiveness. Shahwali, as always, was full of
information and cooperative.
11/19/2006 0:00
Meeting with Afghan National Security Force. Meeting led by Govenor Gulab
Mangol to Discuss the upcoming Operation West Hammer. Discussion Items:
Role of the CF; Role of the ANP; Role fo the ANA; Use of Auxillary ANP/
Local Tribemen; CSS Plan for resupply and payment of Auxillary ANP;
Location of enemy and denial enemy movement.
Problem Mitigation Before Next Meeting: The kandak XO and the ANP CoP will
talk with Alishang CoP and Elder Ashraf from Gonopol seperately about
supporting the GioA and the CF for Alishang with people and weapons
Additional Meeting Attendees: ANA Kandak XO, Jon; ANP Provincial CoP
Omaryar; PRT Commander Lt Col Bredenkamp; PRT S2 CPT Lendo; PRT PTAT Team
Chief TSgt Pacheco; Dyn-Corp Team Chief Mark.
The PRT informed the GoA officially of the existence of Operation West
Hammer and what the CF were planning on doing during the operation. The
PRT informed the Governor, as well as the ANA and the ANP about the plan
and asked for thier input on how the PRT can positively affect the
province with the help of the GoA. The Governor was very supportive but
could not understand that this operation is a shaping operation for future
kinetic Operation to be conducted by 4/82nd ABN BN. He was very happy that
it would happy. He was concerned that the enemy would escape through the
mountains and return to terrorize the people after we leave. He was
concerned about the ANSF and the CF would not be able to close with and
kill the enemy becuase the enemy would leave when they heard the CF
coming. He was concerned that we would not know where the enemy was
concentrated and spend ost of our time looking for them. He was concerned
that the collateral damage be limited and that the women, children, and
non-combatants be able to leave a village before the CF and ANSF engaged
the insurgents in the villages. He also stressed the need for OPSEC with
his people and stressed that the operation not leave the room.
He also mentioned that Zier Jon, who is a THT informant, is a double agent
and that he provides most of his data to the enemy.
The Kandak XO breifed the plan to incorporate the Alishang CoP and why he
has the most to loose or to gain. He was the right person for the job
becuase he was able to explain it with description and first hand
knowledge. It was also good that it came from him as to make it look like
an Afghan Plan and not a US plan that we were pushing on the Afghans.
The provincial CoP had a few issues with the plan about Command and
Control etc. His first issue was where the people that we are planning on
using are coming from. When we explained it he was very interested in
bringing them under the umbrella of the ANP as to have C2 on them and not
to create a warlord out of the Alishang CoP. We all agreed on this. We
should be able to bring them under the employment of ANP augmentees. He
was also concerned about feeding them and paying them. This was taken care
of when we said that they
would be paid as augmentees. Our commander brought up a good point though.
Why do these people ned money to fight when they fought the Russians
without pay. The answer was that they needed money to feed thier
familites. MTF. The CDR also brought up the fact there is a man in the
Gonopol, an elder named Ashraf, that has offered to assist the CF and the
GoA if and when they enter the Gonopol. The ANA XO and the CoP said that
they would ask Ashraf to come in and they would look into using him, if
not for forces to help, than for PID purposes. The meeting was concluded
with the Governor asking for the next ANSF meeting to be held at the PRT
with nly the ANA, ANP, PRT, and Gov in attendence. The S2 asked why the
NDS was not involved and the Gov stated that they could not trust the NDS
director. This is telling of the current relatiohsip with the NDS. Alot to
do with DR. Abdullah no doubt. The ANA XO and the ANP CoP stated that they
would have a COA drawn up for submission to the Govenor on Tues at the
ANSF meeting at the PRT. This will be first ANSF meeting in over 2 months.
Definitley a step in the right direction.
