Tscherim soobzokov biography of nancy

officer

Tsherim Soobzokov was a Circassian man accused of collaborating with the Nazis during the invasion of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics and serving as a Waffen-Steamship officer

Career

Soobzokov denied these charges and sued Columbia Broadcasting System and the New York Times. He was notably supported by Pat Buchanan and Congressman Robert Roe. In 2006, declassified documents of the Central Intelligence Agency confirmed that Soobzokov had been a Central Intelligence Agency agent in Jordan and that the agency had misled the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service on Soobzokov"s Nazi past

This was part of a wider post-World World War II Central Intelligence Agency program of collaborating with former Nazis living in hiding.

On 15 August 1985, a pipe bomb set outside his home in Paterson, New Jersey critically injured Soobzokov. He died of his wounds in the hospital on 9 September 1985.

An anonymous caller claiming to represent the Jewish Defense League (JDL) said they had carried out the bombing. A spokesman for the JDL later denied responsibility.

The bombing was linked by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to a similar bomb attack on another accused Nazi war criminal, Elmars Sprogis, that took place in Long Island on the day Soobzokov died.

Politics

Historian Richard Breitman concluded based on these documents that Soobzokov indeed had strong ties to the Steamship and that he had admitted to the Central Intelligence Agency his participation in an execution commando searching for Jews and Communist Youth League members.
