The trial of 8 Indians in Qatar on charges of spying on a secret submarine program for Israel

According to newspaper reports in India, eight former Indian naval officers arrested in Qatar last year will soon be tried on charges of spying for Israel.

According to Indian media, "the detainees are accused of seeking to gather intelligence about a secret project for a Qatari submarine manufactured in Italy, and it is believed that it is more difficult for enemies to discover."

Legal procedures began against the defendants on March 29, after they were arrested in August 2022.

The eight officers reportedly worked for a consulting firm affiliated with the Qatari Ministry of Defense.

An intelligence source in India said that New Delhi tried to convince Doha that its nationals did not participate in any hostile intelligence activity against the emirate, but these efforts failed, noting that "the Qataris insist that intelligence information about their submarine program was transferred to Israel."

The source stated that the Qatari intelligence agency said it had intercepted "electronic communications" in which the defendants conveyed sensitive information about the submarine programme. However, this evidence was not provided to India.

It is reported that the factory of the company that manufactures submarines for Qatar is located in the Italian city of Bergamo, and that the ships in question are scale models of U212 submarines, built in cooperation between Italy and the German company ThyssenKrupp.(Source: i24 news + The Print)

Taliban: The US allegations about Kabul's role in coordinating ISIS plans are false

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed that the Pentagon's statements about the important role of Afghanistan in coordinating the plans of ISIS terrorists are false and part of a propaganda campaign against the country.

"The fake document issued by the US Department of Defense is part of an ongoing propaganda campaign against Afghanistan," Mujahid wrote on Twitter.

He pointed out that the publication of such "baseless" statements is the product of the work of foreign intelligence agents who do not care about the lives of the country's citizens.

And he considered that the publication of false information about Afghanistan shows that some Americans have not forgotten their hatred for the people of this country and their hostility towards them.

He stressed that the current authorities fully control Afghanistan and do not allow anyone to use it against the security of other countries, adding that the Afghan leadership is working to destroy the cells of extremist groups such as "ISIS", which "suffered greatly" as a result of government measures to combat terrorism.

He noted that Afghanistan has become a peaceful country at the regional level and there are no security incidents in the country, and said that Afghanistan has begun to strengthen its contacts with the international community.

According to the "Washington Post", based on documents leaked from the Pentagon, Afghanistan has turned into an arena for coordinating the plans of the terrorist organization "ISIS" after the withdrawal of US forces.  

The Times: A Briton who spied on jihadists ends up killing his son

The Times recounted the story of a British spy sent by MI6 on a secret mission to a "jihadist" camp in Pakistan despite warnings that he was incompetent for such work, and who ended up killing his own child after returning home.

And the “Times” stated, in an exclusive report published on Friday, that the man, who was then in his twenties, was subjected to an examination by the British Secret Intelligence Service “SIS” known as MI6, to determine his suitability for work abroad, and the results of the examination showed that his emotional instability was "At the highest level that can be recorded."

According to a leaked document, the man, known as "Abdi", had "more in common with a psychopathic personality in some features than an ordinary person, and was at risk of severe trauma and psychological injury."

The intelligence was also aware that he posed a potential danger to those around him, and the man reported that he had been sexually assaulted in his childhood, had a criminal record and had previously suffered from a psychological disorder.

Despite all this, MI6 sent the man to the Waziristan region in Pakistan, which is considered a stronghold of terrorist and extremist groups, with the aim of "infiltrating" these groups.

The man impersonated a "jihadi" soldier, and ended up performing the "heinous" task of washing the dismembered and mutilated corpses of fighters before burying them.

He also witnessed the beheading of an entire family on charges of spying for the United States, and had to hold the severed head of a child.

The exact dates of those incidents were not disclosed.

The man returned to the UK and was said to be in a state of "extreme stress", having suffered flashbacks and severe bouts of violence.

According to documents obtained by The Times, the doctor concluded that the man was unable to manage daily tasks or even communicate with others in a normal way.

However, he was sent "to the field" again, where he was subjected to further trauma, and was also subjected to torture at the hands of the Pakistani intelligence after they suspected him of belonging to "jihadists".

When he was arrested for the murder of his young son, Nour, he was transferred to a safe psychiatric facility after he claimed he could hear voices.

The spy's whereabouts and full name were kept secret, and his trial was recently held in secret.

A spokesman for the British government declined to comment on the matter, saying only that there is a "longstanding principle that the government does not confirm or deny allegations about the activities of British intelligence agencies."
