On February 18, 2001, a triple spy who was mainly fighting for Britain revealed a shocking inside story:
Britain's security services went so far as to send spies to infiltrate the cleanest place in the minds of Muslims, the mosque, in defiance of Islamic prohibitions. The purpose is to gather intelligence on Islamic extremists!
The Subsequent crossing of the river and the demolition of bridges by the British government are even more bizarre.
There are spies in the mosque
On a windy night last February, more than 400 members of a Muslim militia were huddled in a conference hall next to Euston Square in London, listening intently to their leaders explain how to build and lay bombs.
Their leaders spoke of victory and defeat, of jihad and martyrdom, of betrayal and punishment of the betrayer.
Most of the people in the chamber, dressed in the traditional costumes of Afghans and Algerian Islamic militias, a slightly balding man sat in the back of the hall, not very conspicuous.
He wore glasses and stuttered a bit when he spoke. In fact, many people in the hall knew the man. Isn't he the 37-year-old Algerian writer Rida Hassan?
He is said to have lived in the North End of London for a few years, but eventually joined the Islamist militia due to frustration and destitution.
However, when the discussion and prayer were over, Hassan did not pick up the coffee like the others, but hurried home, unfolded the letter, and began to record everything he saw and heard.
Euston Square, London
Hassan's profession is a journalist, but he doesn't record these things to any newspaper, but secretly to scottish yard (a special branch of the British police) and MI5, who controls his fate and monitors terrorist activities in Britain – Hassan is a spy!
After two years of torment, Hassan finally couldn't stand this kind of life of no one and no ghost, and he decided to shake it all out.
So, in early February 2001, he approached an influential British media outlet, gave a series of interviews, and drew up an 11-page statement.
In an interview, Hassan revealed in detail for the first time the most covert actions of Britain's security services. Because of his connection to MI5, his life was full of deceit, crime and violence.
What made him most unbearable was that MI5 always used the guise of national security to let them do something unconscionable, and they could only obey, and there was no resistance.

A career as a triple spy
Before the spring of 1999, almost no one had heard of finsbury Park Mosque. It sits in a poorly trafficked corner of London's North End and is surrounded by Edwardian homes that are shrouded in industrial exhaust all day long.
Every Friday, the sidewalk is crowded with young Muslims rushing to the mosque to hear a sermon by a local Muslim leader, Abu Hamza.
Hassan has lived near the mosque since fleeing Algeria to Britain in 1994 and has quickly integrated into the mosque.
Because of his sincerity, the neighbors liked him.
In reality, however, Hassan lived a double or even triple life.
In order to get their family out of the civil war in Algeria, he signed a secret agreement with the security services, promising to help suppress the insurrection provoked by Islamist extremists.
In return, the security services promised to help him move to Britain.
What Hassan did not expect was that once he entered the spy network, there would be no door to come out again.
His first assignment was to disguise himself as a member of the Islamic Armed Group and go to a secret liaison officer in London to retrieve a fax machine.
The fax machine contained the telephone numbers of dozens of members of the Islamic Armed Group in Algeria.
During the operation, Hassan accidentally revealed his identity. Faced with the pursuit of Muslim militia, he had to flee to Paris, France.
By the end of 1997, others had taken a fancy to Hassan. It turned out that the Fifa World Cup in France, scheduled for June 1998, was imminent, and the French government's biggest concern was a terrorist attack during the match.
The French promised Hassan that he would be given French citizenship if he was willing to help.
Over the next year, Hassan tensed every nerve and provided a large amount of intelligence to a man named "Girom" at the French Embassy in Britain, one of which was designated as the highest level of intelligence - A-
He personally stole this information from mosques.

"Scotland Yard" (Special Branch of the British Police) crossed the river and demolished the bridge
After the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the Frenchman cut off contact with Hassan without even saying hello. Of course, Hassan's dream French passport has also sunk into the sea.
By this time, he knew in his heart who he should go to. At 4 p.m. on 10 November 1998, Hassan walked into Scotland Yard and asked for direct dialogue with the Special Division. He was finally told to wait at home for the call.
After 1 month, the call finally arrived.
Scotland Yard officially informed Hassan that from now on, he would be scotland yard informant.
Two months later, he received his first assignment. Not surprisingly, he sneaked into the Finsbury Park Mosque one by one to gather as much intelligence as possible about Abu Hamza.
Abu Hamza, who had lived in England for several years and had been in obscurity, had suddenly become a news figure.
Because just before the 1999 New Year, a group of British tourists were held hostage by Islamic extremists in Yemen.
After a fierce firefight, the hostages were finally released. Yemeni police claim that the source of this kidnapping case is in the United Kingdom, and the mastermind is Abu Hamza!
Hamza fought in the war against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and later moved to Britain.
But Hamza denies being the mastermind of the case, and the British cannot produce stronger evidence.

For several weeks after receiving the mission, Hassan spent almost every day in the mosque.
Every night, he writes a report to his immediate superiors detailing who Hamza interacts with, what he says, and what those around him think of him.
Scotland Yard also asked him to draw a map of the mosque illustrating Hamza's security measures and all possible escape routes.
Within weeks, Hamza was arrested by British police.
Soon, Hassan received the reward:
Scotland Yard assured him that the relevant departments of the British government would single out his asylum application and process it separately!
Hassan sighed afterwards: "At that time, I felt that the long road had finally come to an end. ”
But to his surprise, Scotland Yard had other plans, and they introduced Hassan to MI5!

"I was tricked by the British"
On July 29, 1999, at 10:04 a.m., Hassan received a phone call. He was told he had to get to Green Park Subway Station at 11:45 a.m.! After following the connector for a while, Hassan found himself at the West Point Hotel.
Here, he met "Kevin"— who was a miyako liaison.
Kevin reassured him that the process for his British citizenship was well underway and that MI5 would pay him £700 a month.
If he applies for social insurance and housing subsidies, his income will increase.
Then "Kevin" gives Hassan the first task:
A liaison with the leader of the Islamic Armed Groups recently arrived in Britain, and Kevin asked him to try to get close to him because MI5 wanted to recruit him as a spy.
For the next 15 months, Hassan was busy. Every day he went to pray, chat, drink coffee with Islamist militias, and mingle with those close to the Terrorists in Algeria.
Hassan's task is getting tougher and riskier.
After learning that several Yemeni Islamist militias were hiding in Birmingham, Hassan was sent to find out.
He identified the men and wrote a five-page report to michiko.
However, Hassan was also under increasing pressure, and whenever he wanted to talk about the conditions, michiren threatened him: "Don't forget who you are and who we are!" ”
After a failed operation, the next blow was completely unexpected by Hassan.
The relevant departments of the British government officially informed him that his asylum application had been rejected!
That means he won't get a British passport – risking his life for so long for the British police and MI5, he'll only be paid to stay in the UK temporarily!

MI5 – the UK's security agency
MI5, also known as Military Intelligence Division 5, desperates the mi (Military Inteligence) letter, but it is no longer part of the Military Intelligence Division. It has nothing to do with the military and is officially known as the "Security Service".
Founded in 1909, MI5 is the UK's internal security organisation. Similar to the Maine-based Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it is responsible for counterintelligence, counterintelligence, and monitors the activities of subversives, terrorists, and foreign expatriates in the UK.
Outraged, Hassan decided to disclose it all to the British media. He said:
"I am a cultured person, I want to live a peaceful life, and I want to fight terrorists. But I was played by the British, everyone betrayed me, I lost my homeland, my family, my health, my profession. I decided to tell all this because there is no hope in my life now. ”
