306 Double Cross in Dallas? [245]
"Mossad's contacts within the service," said Steven, "tended to be with
the ex-OAS elements, those opposed to DeGaulle for what they believed to
be his sell-out of French interests in the Algerian war of independence." 670
JACKAL OR JACL?
To complicate matters, DeGaulle himself had reached a truce with the
OAS in early 1963 and had helped arrange for its members to set up
operations elsewhere.
671 One or more of these "former" enemies of
DeGaulle, now operating under the auspices of his own intelligence service,
or at least within its sphere of influence, may have been brought into the
JFK assassination conspiracy. The likelihood that an Israeli-linked faction of
DeGaulle's intelligence service, the SDECE, might have recruited an
assassin—particularly a Corsican—for the hit against JFK is very strong.
The SDECE was divided into five "services." Service Five was known
as "Action" and was dominated by Corsicans. According to Frederick
Forsyth's background account of the conflict between DeGaulle and the
OAS (the subject of his novel, The Day of the Jackal) these Corsicans, "had
been professional thugs from the underworld before being enlisted, kept up
their old contacts, and on more than one occasion enlisted the aid of their
former underworld friends to do a particularly dirty job for the government.
"It was these activities that gave rise to talk in France of a 'parallel'
(unofficial) police, supposedly at the orders of one of President de Gaulle's
right-hand men, M. Jacques Foccart. In truth no 'parallel' police existed;
the activities attributed to them were carried out by the Action Service
strong-arms or temporarily enlisted gang-bosses from the `milieu.’” 672
In light of Forsyth's famous "Jackal," it might be noted that active in
Europe during the period of the joint plots against JFK and Charles
DeGaulle was a Jewish terrorist group known as the Jewish Anti-
Communist League—or JACL. This JACL in fact, collaborated with the
OAS. So it seems Frederick Forsyth knew whereof he spoke when he
described a fictional OAS-sponsored "Jackal" seeking to destroy DeGaulle.
THE INTRIGUE COMES FULL CIRCLE
However, there is even more evidence suggesting that the so-called
"French connection" to the JFK assassination is indeed, instead, the Israeli
connection reaching all the way to Dallas.
In 1965 a bizarre crime took place which exposed the close ties between
certain elements in DeGaulle's intelligence agency, the Israeli Mossad and
the French Corsican Mafia underworld. And, incredibly enough, this same
crime implicated individuals whose names have been linked with the JFK
assassination as a consequence of subsequent revelations. The crime in
question was the murder of a Moroccan political figure, one Mehdi Ben-
Barka who was a critic of the ruling regime in his native country. (Although
an Arab regime, the Moroccan government maintained covert cooperation
with the Mossad.)
