activities in Syria since the agency's inception in 1947 have included
coup attempts and assassination plots, and in
more recent years, extraordinary renditions, a paramilitary strike, and
funding and military training of forces opposed to the current
government. There are "highly controversial" allegations that
the American legation in Syria--headed by James Hugh Keeley, Jr.--and
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) engineered the 1949 coup military
coup, which overthrew the Syria's democratically elected government.
National Security Council member Wilbur Crane Eveland, CIA official
Archibald Roosevelt, and Michail Bey Ilyan, former Syrian minister, met
in Damascus on 1 July 1956 to discuss a US-backed 'anticommunist'
takeover of the country. They made a plan, scheduled for enactment
on 25 October 1956, in which the military would take control of Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, and Hamah.
Another coup, Operation Straggle, was exposed before it ever got off
the ground. Syrian army officers walked into the office of Syria's head
of intelligence, Colonel Sarraj, turned in their bribe money and named
the CIA officers who had paid them. Liet. Col. Robert Molloy, the
American army attache', Francis Jeton, a career CIA officer, officially
Vice Consul at the US Embassy, and the legendary Howard Stone, with the
title Second Secretary for Political Affairs, were all declared personae
non-gratae and expelled from the country.
Operation
Wappen, 1957, saw Allen Dulles using Kermit Roosevelt, who had led the
overthrow democracy in Iran, in another failed coup attempting to bribe Syrian military officers with 3,000,000 US$.
Assassination plot, 1957, Explicit documents reveal a CIA plot with the British intelligence service MI6
assassinate Abdel Hamid al-Sarraj, head of military intelligence; Afif al-Bizri,
army chief of staff; and Khalid Bakdash, leader of the Syrian Communist in
Damascus. In the "Preferred Plan" drafted by the Working Group Report,
the US and UK intelligence agencies would fund a "Free Syria Committee"
and supply weapons to paramilitary groups including the Muslim
Brotherhood.
In 1983, President Assad signed a peace and friendship treaty with the Soviet Union, and many figured an uprising by the Muslim brotherhood in Syria later was a CIA operation to overthrow Assad for his pro-Soviet policies. Beginning around 1995 Syria was used during as an illicit base of operations where what became known as 'ghost detainees' (individuals held in a detention center, whose identity has been hidden by keeping them unregistered and therefore anonymous), could be tortured, supposedly for information. The US government would call the program extraordinary rendition, and was expanded after 9/11/2000. In May of 2004 during the US war in Iraq, CIA and US Army personnel commited During the war in Iraq that began in March 2003, personnel of the United States Army and the Central Intelligence Agency committed crimes of physical and sexual abuse, torture, rape, sodomy, and murder in Abu Ghraib, also one such transit site of the extraordinary rendition program Syria was made part of. Paramilitary raids From 2004 to 2008 the CIA made paramilitary raids into Syria. After one such raid into Eastern Syria, the Syrian government accused the US of murdering eight Syrians in "terrorist aggression."
