The Kurds and the KGB: The secret history of the Barzani dynasty

By Dr. Kamal Said Qadir

Mustafa Barzani, the legendary Kurdish leader, was a KGB agent
code-named "RAIS", and the Kurdish armed revolution he started
September 11, 1961, was in reality a KGB covert action to destabilize
Western interests in the Middle East and put additional pressure on the
Kassim government of Iraq.

Whoever dares to mention these facts publicly in Kurdistan would face
an unknown fate, possibly forced disappearance or even murder by
sophisticated means, and the whole story of KGB-Barzani ties would be
dismissed as reckless defamation by the ruling Barzani family.
