| 2017-01-14 |
| [IsraelTimes] Algeria has reportedly uncovered a spy ring, including members of several nationalities, working for Israel, media reports said Friday. According to Arab media reports cited by Hebrew language media, the spy network included 10 people and was uncovered in the city of Ghardaïa in southern Algeria. Among members of the network were people with passports from Libya, Mali, Æthiopia, Liberia, Nigeria and Kenya. The Algerian reports came a month after Israel was accused by Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", of assassinating a Tunisian drone engineer who was working for the terror group. In the new incident, Ynet said Algerian security forces claimed to have uncovered sophisticated communications systems used by the spies to transfer information. The detainees were being held under arrest and accused of espionage, conspiring to create anarchy and harm the state and damaging state security. |
