[JP] The Mossad was the agency which tipped off the United Kingdom's MI5 homeland security agency about Iranian terror threats to British citizens in recent weeks, especially journalists, Channel 11 reported on Monday night.Last week, the director-general of the MI5 security service, Ken McCallum, said that Iran has tried to kidnap or kill at least 10 UK-based individuals since January.
The leaked taking of credit for thwarting terror incidents aimed at allies is part of an increasing trend in recent years in which Israel and the Mossad have gotten more public about their assistance to both close allies like England and Australia, as well as with countries with complex relations with Israel, like Turkey.
