Have you heard of "Operation Simoom" during the Gulf War?

Operation Simoom (Polish: Operacja Samum) was a top secret Polish intelligence operation conducted in Iraq in 1990. I never heard of it so I'm curious if you did?

Operation Simoom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1990 the CIA asked European intelligence agencies to assist in the withdrawal of six American operatives (a mix of CIA and DIA officers) investigating Iraqi troops movements in Iraq before the Gulf War.[2] Several countries, such as the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France refused to help in such a dangerous operation; only Poland agreed to help.[2]

Yes I've heard about it - Post Gulf War op to extract a half dozen US intelligence personal involved with monitoring troop movement. They were pulled out under the false flag of Poland. I want to say for the help the US helped in expunging half of Poland's debt which was around 16 billion. Not sure what the 6 knew but I guess its nice to know that you're worth 2 billion dollars.
