Who Killed Ashraf Marwan?
THE billionaires body tumbled over the railing of his apartments fourth-floor balcony and landed hard on the London sidewalk. And like so much in the complicated life of Ashraf Marwan a 62-year-old Egyptian who had been the most effective spy in the history of the Middle East the mysterious circumstances of his death two weeks ago provoked further speculation.As Scotland Yard investigates the suspicious fall, and as newspapers and bloggers throughout the world wonder whether any of several intelligence services played a role in his death, a debate continues over whether Mr. Marwan was a well-connected and resourceful Israeli spy or a brilliantly manipulative Egyptian double agent. Mr. Marwans death has also brought a new and chilling significance to a long-running legal battle in Israel involving the unauthorized leaking of his name to journalists. And in the aftermath of the discovery of his broken body on a sidewalk in the St. James neighborhood on June 27, I cannot help but wonder if I had a small part in the events that led to Ashraf Marwans death.
