James "Jim" Shortt(english/irish), Had a long adventure with the swedish MoD
It started back in the years of the cold war and went all the way to Tuzla during NORDBAT.
It seems difficult to understand WHY ??? the swedish MoD needed the services of this gentleman!
He claims to have a military background from the SAS, it seems quite hard to verify. He later served with an outfit called STS (Special Training Services) an MI6 cover up of Black OPS and sensitive operations.
Anyways he, turned up in Sweden in connection with STS and the swedish MoD in 1983, later again confirmed in 1985. 1986 taking part in education at JGS at K3 and also with Lars Fält at FÔS also at JGS
In the later parts he undertakes a mission to Afghanistan also in connection with the swedish MoD
1990 he turns up at K1 where he works with a guy called Tamas Weber. Weber a person from the martial arts field and with a claim of beeing a valiant Legion Etrangere soldier. In reality he was only there a bit more than 2 years and never finished his first contract.
Shortt and Weber teaches student CQB/CQC.
Shortt is also a regular visitor at KA3 , on the shooting ranges etc.
I have heard a few rumors of him having 2 "bodyguards" with him from the sedish MoD permanently during his stays.
He gives lectures on Anti Spetnaz mission at Karlberg and is later almost arrested in central Stockholm as he is exposed with a loaded AK 47 in a restaurent.
He asked the police leader of PIKETEN to call a specific number, and he was left with the gun in the restaurent.
To me it seems cracy ...or is this gentleman involved with a highly sensitive operation on behalf of the swedish MoD
Or in a joint venture of Sweden and the MI6 ??
Maybe some of the members of this forum can give hints or information of the right context
In advance I thank you
