Spy cables: Mossad worked with South Africa
[iol Nuus] Johannesburg - South African intelligence services played an important role in helping arrest Iranian officials in Kenya with explosives, according to a leaked secret report from the SA State Security Agency. The SSA report of a meeting with senior agents of the Israeli secret service Mossad in Pretoria on October 22, 2012, is one of the hundreds of secret documents from several international intelligence agencies leaked to the news network Al Jazeera. It began publishing them on Monday, causing a furore in South Africa's intelligence community. The Liaison Information Report by the SSA on the meeting with Mossad describes how senior SSA officials reprimanded the Mossad Africa section chief for bypassing correct procedures when he contacted the SSA director-general directly without properly declaring his status as an intelligence operative. The senior SSA official present demanded that Mossad should in future "show respect for the host country" by handing over his credentials to the South African government. The work of Abba Eban continues, albeit a slower pace. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-02-27 |
