WASHINGTON - At around 1:36PM (EST) the head of a private intelligence communications agency placed all personnel on alert in what appears to be an imminent Israeli strike against Iran.
W. Edward Griffith, Director of Griffith Colson Intelligence Service (GCIS) activated his agency�s Situation Room to monitor what appears to be a military strike against the Iranian regime, which he believes could come within days.
A spokeswoman for GCIS said the Director consulted with President Michael Riker of the International Counter-Terrorism Officers Association earlier in the morning and conducted a series of telephone conferences concerning the possibility of Israeli strikes against Iran.
�Director Griffith spoke at length with ICTOA President Michael Riker this morning and studied his morning intelligence briefings on the possible strike by Israel against Iran�, said Sara Bauer, Press Secretary at the agency, �The Director has ordered all GCIS personnel in Los Angeles and Washington on alert to monitor this potential crisis.�
Bauer said GCIS personnel will be working around the clock to monitor these event.
Bauer added that the 43-year old private intelligence chief also ordered the GCIS Israeli security unit, Machaseh Security Service (MSS) on full alert, provide the Director with updated status reports on these developments. MSS Chief Kayla Cohen will be in direct contact with Griffith during the course of the monitoring procedure.
