At RAF Habbaniya in Iraq. Whatever the reason, two former members allege that Ousta Moushi and a few of his lieutenants were summoned to C.C [Civil Cantonment]. Office and were arrested, though most of the interviewed deny that anyone was detained following the interrogation. Another source alleges that Squadron Leader Lovett Campbell, the Officer-in-Charge of C.C. at the time, had summoned Ousta Moushi and a few others to his office. He had placed his gun on the table and had told them words to this effect: "If it's true that you people have a communistic movement I will shoot you all with this gun!" This statement has not been corroborated. A leading former member alleges that Mr. Lovett Campbell was even contemplating on evicting from the Cantonment some 150 of the members involved. The same person says that two pro Assyrian British officers, however, took the case out of Mr. Lovett-CampbeIl’s hands and quietly passed the word to the KKA leaders to disband the Movement before things got worse and the Iraqi Government learned of it. One of the officers was Major E.C. Day of Levies, with whom the person in question alleges to have had a secret meeting one evening regarding the matter. Evidently, the R.A.F. authorities were afraid the Movement was communistic. But after the investigation they realized that Ousta Moushi was an intelligent and able leader but had no ill intentions towards the British or the Iraqi authority and that the Movement's aim was merely patriotic—to create love, unity, and comradeship among the Assyrian community—and that in fact it had no teeth to bite. However, because the R.A.F. probably realized that Ousta Moushi might become an unwanted problem for them later on, he was dismissed from his R.A.F. job as a carpenter. It is said that he was watched and, from time to time, questioned by the local Iraqi police commandant. This took place in 1947 or 1948.
