"Popular Culture" paragraph

Reading this article, surely Operation Salaam and Operation Condor (and the two german speis) were the basis for Ken Follett's early 1980s novel "The Key to Rebecca"...Anybody object to that being added? Engr105th 22:35, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nature of the article

This article seems to be a retelling of the book Operation SALAM, which appears to be of unknown scholarly value. If this operation is to be considered notable, additional, WP:RS sources are needed to substantiate this article. Please let me know of any feedback.
