The next slide discusses Eastern Fire. This organization first appeared in early 2001. It is a hi-tech band of terrorists, complete with uniforms and insignia and the whole nine yards. Their particular mission or vision is unknown, unless it is to sow general chaos. No Eastern Fire communique has ever included any demands or expressed goals. No Eastern Fire operative has ever been able to provide us or any national intelligence organizations with any purpose behind their attacks, aside from death and destruction.
Eastern Fire attacks since their appearance include five political assassinations; the shooting down of twelve jet airliners and sinking of two cruise ships; the attempted detonation of plutonium at the Rocky Flats weapons plant in Colorado; the successful melting down of a nuclear power plant outside of Tashkent; the bombing of five highly popular tourist or pilgrimage locations; the poisoning of the water supplies of Berlin, Perth, and Nairobi; and the sabotage of the Columbia space shuttle. These are the operations which Eastern Fire took credit for; there have been several other attempted attacks, which you will find detailed in the folder in front of you. I am pleased to say this Agency has been responsible for thwarting three such attempts.
The dossier also describes some twenty-nine kidnappings and other extortion attempts that seemed aimed solely at removing people from positions of authority, usually with some associated scandal.
Again, these are the operations that we know of Eastern Fire being involved in, and which they made their involvement known. We are unaware of other activities that they have not taken credit for.
Eastern Fire manages to be highly coordinated in their actions, while remaining highly compartmentalized. While many of its grunts are Grey Hat mercs and the like, we know that there are others who are involved for other reasons; to a man or woman, however, they have suicided or been killed before they could provide any information. Clearly any opportunity to gain intelligence on Eastern Fire should be pursued as a high-level objective, especially given the steady escalation of their activities over the last two years.
Eastern Fire has been implicated in the events at Castle [Dunhollow]?. Black Hats TMS: Eastern Fire |
