Édifiant. Quand un nazi devient un tueur du Mossad

The Strange Case of a Nazi Who Became an Israeli Hitman
Otto Skorzeny, one of the Mossad’s most valuable assets, was a former lieutenant colonel in Nazi Germany’s Waffen-SS and one of Adolf Hitler’s favorites.

▻http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.711115

On September 11, 1962, a German scientist vanished. The basic facts were simple: Heinz Krug had been at his office, and he never came home.

The only other salient detail known to police in Munich was that Krug commuted to Cairo frequently. He was one of dozens of Nazi rocket experts who had been hired by Egypt to develop advanced weapons for that country.

HaBoker, a now defunct Israeli newspaper, surprisingly claimed to have the explanation: The Egyptians kidnapped Krug to prevent him from doing business with Israel.

But that somewhat clumsy leak was an attempt by Israel to divert investigators from digging too deeply into the case — not that they ever would have found the 49-year-old scientist.

We can now report — based on interviews with former Mossad officers and with Israelis who have access to the Mossad’s archived secrets from half a century ago — that Krug was murdered as part of an Israeli espionage plot to intimidate the German scientists working for Egypt.
Moreover, the most astounding revelation is the Mossad agent who fired the fatal gunshots: Otto Skorzeny, one of the Israeli spy agency’s most valuable assets, was a former lieutenant colonel in Nazi Germany’s Waffen-SS and one of Adolf Hitler’s personal favorites among the party’s commando leaders. The Führer, in fact, awarded Skorzeny the army’s most prestigious medal, the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, for leading the rescue operation that plucked his friend Benito Mussolini out from the hands of his captors.
But that was then. By 1962, according to our sources — who spoke only on the promise that they not be identified — Skorzeny had a different employer. The story of how that came to be is one of the most important untold tales in the archives of the Mossad, the agency whose full name, translated from Hebrew, is “The Institute for Intelligence and Special Missions.”
Key to understanding the story is that the Mossad had made stopping German scientists then working on Egypt’s rocket program one of its top priorities. For several months before his death, in fact, Krug, along with other Germans who were working in Egypt’s rocket-building industry, had received threatening messages. When in Germany, they got phone calls in the middle of the night, telling them to quit the Egyptian program. When in Egypt, some were sent letter bombs — and several people were injured by the explosions.

Krug, as it happens, was near the top of the Mossad’s target list.

During the war that ended 17 years earlier, Krug was part of a team of superstars at Peenemünde, the military test range on the coast of the Baltic Sea, where top German scientists toiled in the service of Hitler and the Third Reich. The team, led by Wernher von Braun, was proud to have engineered the rockets for the Blitz that nearly defeated England. Its wider ambitions included missiles that could fly a lot farther, with greater accuracy and more destructive power.

According to Mossad research, a decade after the war ended, von Braun invited Krug and other former colleagues to join him in America. Von Braun, his war record practically expunged, was leading a missile development program for the United States. He even became one of the fathers of the NASA space exploration program. Krug opted for another, seemingly more lucrative option: joining other scientists from the Peenemünde group — led by the German professor Wolfgang Pilz, whom he greatly admired — in Egypt. They would set up a secret strategic missile program for that Arab country.

In the Israelis’ view, Krug had to know that Israel, the country where so many Holocaust survivors had found refuge, was the intended target of his new masters’ military capabilities. A committed Nazi would see this as an opportunity to continue the ghastly mission of exterminating the Jewish people.

The threatening notes and phone calls, however, were driving Krug crazy. He and his colleagues knew that the threats were from Israelis. It was obvious. In 1960, Israeli agents had kidnapped Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief administrators of the Holocaust, in far-off Argentina. The Israelis astonishingly smuggled the Nazi to Jerusalem, where he was put on trial. Eichmann was hanged on May 31, 1962.

It was reasonable for Krug to feel that a Mossad noose might be tightening around his neck, too. That was why he summoned help: a Nazi hero who was considered the best of the best in Hitler’s heyday.
On the day he vanished, according to our new information from reliable sources, Krug left his office to meet Skorzeny, the man he felt would be his savior.

Skorzeny, then 54 years old, was quite simply a legend. A dashing, innovative military man who grew up in Austria — famous for a long scar on the left side of his face, the result of his overly exuberant swordplay while fencing as a youth— he rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel in Nazi Germany’s Waffen-SS. Thanks to Skorzeny’s exploits as a guerrilla commander, Hitler recognized that he had a man who would go above and beyond, and stop at nothing, to complete a mission.

The colonel’s feats during the war inspired Germans and the grudging respect of Germany’s enemies. American and British military intelligence labeled Skorzeny “the most dangerous man in Europe.”

Krug contacted Skorzeny in the hope that the great hero — then living in Spain — could create a strategy to keep the scientists safe.

The two men were in Krug’s white Mercedes, driving north out of Munich, and Skorzeny said that as a first step he had arranged for three bodyguards. He said they were in a car directly behind and would accompany them to a safe place in a forest for a chat. Krug was murdered, then and there, without so much as a formal indictment or death sentence. The man who pulled the trigger was none other than the famous Nazi war hero. Israel’s espionage agency had managed to turn Otto Skorzeny into a secret agent for the Jewish state.

After Krug was shot, the three Israelis poured acid on his body, waited awhile and then buried what was left in a hole they had dug beforehand. They covered the makeshift grave with lime, so that search dogs — and wild animals — would never pick up the scent of human remains.

The troika that coordinated this extrajudicial execution was led by a future prime minister of Israel, Yitzhak Shamir, who was then head of the Mossad’s special operations unit. One of the others was Zvi “Peter” Malkin, who had tackled Eichmann in Argentina and in later life would enter the art world as a New York-based painter. Supervising from a distance was Yosef “Joe” Raanan, who was the secret agency’s senior officer in Germany. All three had lost large numbers of family members among the 6 million Jews murdered by the cruel, continent-wide genocide that Eichmann had managed.
Israel’s motivation in working with a man such as Skorzeny was clear: to get as close as possible to Nazis who were helping Egypt plot a new Holocaust.

The Mossad’s playbook for protecting Israel and the Jewish people has no preordained rules or limits. The agency’s spies have evaded the legal systems in a host of countries for the purpose of liquidating Israel’s enemies: Palestinian terrorists, Iranian scientists, and even a Canadian arms inventor named Gerald Bull, who worked for Saddam Hussein until bullets ended his career in Brussels in 1990. Mossad agents in Lillehammer, Norway, even killed a Moroccan waiter in the mistaken belief that he was the mastermind behind the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre of 11 Israeli athletes by the terrorist group known as Black September. Ahmed Bouchikhi was shot down in 1973 as he left a movie theatre with his pregnant wife. The Israeli government later paid compensation to her without officially admitting wrongdoing. The botched mission delayed further Mossad assassinations, but it did not end them.

To get to unexpected places on these improbable missions, the Mossad has sometimes found itself working with unsavory partners. When short-term alliances could help, the Israelis were willing to dance with the proverbial devil, if that is what seemed necessary.

But why did Skorzeny work with the Mossad?

He was born in Vienna in June 1908, to a middle-class family proud of its military service for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From an early age he seemed fearless, bold and talented at weaving false, complex tales that deceived people in myriad ways. These were essential requirements for a commando officer at war, and certainly valuable qualities for the Mossad.

He joined Austria’s branch of the Nazi Party in 1931, when he was 23, served in its armed militia, the SA, and enthusiastically worshipped Hitler. The führer was elected chancellor of Germany in 1933 and then seized Austria in 1938. When Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 and World War II broke out, Skorzeny left his construction firm and volunteered — not for the regular army, the Wehrmacht, but for the Leibstandarte SS Panzer division that served as Hitler’s personal bodyguard force.

Skorzeny, in a memoir written after the war was over, told of his years of SS service as though they were almost bloodless travels in occupied Poland, Holland and France. His activities could not have been as innocuous as his book made them seem. He took part in battles in Russia and Poland, and certainly the Israelis believed it was very likely that he was involved in exterminating Jews. The Waffen-SS, after all, was not the regular army; it was the military arm of the Nazi Party and its genocidal plan.
His most famous and daring mission was in September 1943: leading commandos who flew engineless gliders to reach an Italian mountaintop resort to rescue Hitler’s friend and ally, the recently ousted Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and spirit him away under harrowing conditions.

This was the escapade that earned Skorzeny his promotion to lieutenant colonel — and operational control of Hitler’s SS Special Forces. Hitler also rewarded him with several hours of face-to-face conversation, along with the coveted Knight’s Cross. But it was far from his only coup.

In September 1944, when Hungary’s dictator, Admiral Miklos Horthy, a Nazi ally, was on the verge of suing for peace with Russia as Axis fortunes plunged, Skorzeny led a contingent of Special Forces into Budapest to kidnap Horthy and replace his government with the more hard-line Fascist Arrow Cross regime. That regime, in turn, went on to kill or to deport to concentration camps tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews who had managed to survive the war up to that point.

Also in 1944, Skorzeny handpicked 150 soldiers, including some who spoke fair to excellent English in a bold plan to fend off the Allies after they landed in Normandy on D-Day in June. With the Allies advancing through France, Skorzeny dressed his men in captured U.S. uniforms, and procured captured American tanks for them to use in attacking and confusing Allied troops from behind their own lines.

The bold deception — including the act of stealing U.S. soldiers’ property — plunged Skorzeny into two years of interrogation, imprisonment and trial after the war ended. Eventually, Allied military judges acquitted him in 1947. Once again, the world’s newspapers headlined him as Europe’s most dangerous man. He enjoyed the fame, and published his memoirs in various editions and many languages, including the 1957 book “Skorzeny’s Special Missions: The Autobiography of Hitler’s Commando Ace,” published by Greenhill Books. He spun some tall-tale hyperbole in the books, and definitely downplayed his contacts with the most bloodthirsty Nazi leaders. When telling of his many conversations with Hitler, he described the dictator as a caring and attentive military strategist.

There was much that Skorzeny did not reveal, including how he escaped from the American military authorities who held him for a third year after his acquittal. Prosecutors were considering more charges against him in the Nuremberg tribunals, but during one transfer he was able to escape — reputedly with the help of former SS soldiers wearing American military police uniforms.

Skorzeny’s escape was also rumored to have been assisted by the CIA’s predecessor agency, the Office of Special Services, for which he did some work after the war. It is certainly notable that he was allowed to settle in Spain — a paradise for Nazi war veterans, with protection from the pro-Western Fascist, Generalissimo Francisco Franco. In the years that followed he did some advisory work for President Juan Peron in Argentina and for Egypt’s government. It was during this period that Skorzeny became friendly with the Egyptian officers who were running the missile program and employing German experts.
In Israel, a Mossad planning team started to work on where it could be best to find and kill Skorzeny. But the head of the agency, Isser Harel, had a bolder plan: Instead of killing him, snare him.

Mossad officials had known for some time that to target the German scientists, they needed an inside man in the target group. In effect, the Mossad needed a Nazi.

The Israelis would never find a Nazi they could trust, but they saw a Nazi they could count on: someone thorough and determined, with a record of success in executing innovative plans, and skilled at keeping secrets. The seemingly bizarre decision to recruit Skorzeny came with some personal pain, because the task was entrusted to Raanan, who was also born in Vienna and had barely escaped the Holocaust. As an Austrian Jew, his name was originally Kurt Weisman. After the Nazis took over in 1938, he was sent — at age 16 — to British-ruled Palestine. His mother and younger brother stayed in Europe and perished.

Like many Jews in Palestine, Kurt Weisman joined the British military looking for a chance to strike back at Germany. He served in the Royal Air Force. After the creation of Israel in 1948, he followed the trend of taking on a Hebrew name, and as Joe Raanan he was among the first pilots in the new nation’s tiny air force. The young man rapidly became an airbase commander and later the air force’s intelligence chief.

Raanan’s unique résumé, including some work he did for the RAF in psychological warfare, attracted the attention of Harel, who signed him up for the Mossad in 1957. A few years later, Raanan was sent to Germany to direct the secret agency’s operations there — with a special focus on the German scientists in Egypt. Thus it was Raanan who had to devise and command an operation to establish contact with Skorzeny, the famous Nazi commando.

The Israeli spy found it difficult to get over his reluctance, but when ordered, he assembled a team that traveled to Spain for “pre-action intelligence.” Its members observed Skorzeny, his home, his workplace and his daily routines. The team included a German woman in her late 20s who was not a trained, full-time Mossad agent but a “helper.” Known by the Hebrew label “saayanit” (or “saayan” if a male), this team member was like an extra in a grandly theatrical movie, playing whatever role might be required. A saayanit would often pose as the girlfriend of an undercover Mossad combatant.

Internal Mossad reports later gave her name as Anke and described her as pretty, vivacious and truly flirtatious. That would be perfect for the job at hand — a couples game.

One evening in the early months of 1962, the affluent and ruggedly handsome — though scarred — Skorzeny was in a luxurious bar in Madrid with his significantly younger wife, Ilse von Finckenstein. Her own Nazi credentials were impeccable; she was the niece of Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler’s talented finance minister.

They had a few cocktails and were relaxing, when the bartender introduced them to a German-speaking couple he had been serving. The woman was pretty and in her late 20s, and her escort was a well-dressed man of around 40. They were German tourists, they said, but they also told a distressing story: that they had just survived a harrowing street robbery.

They spoke perfect German, of course, the man with a bit of an Austrian accent, like Skorzeny’s. They gave their false names, but in reality they were, respectively, a Mossad agent whose name must still be kept secret and his “helper,” Anke.

There were more drinks, then somewhat flamboyant flirting, and soon Skorzeny’s wife invited the young couple, who had lost everything — money, passports and luggage — to stay the night at their sumptuous villa. There was just something irresistible about the newcomers. A sense of sexual intimacy between the two couples was in the air. After the four entered the house, however, at a crucial moment when the playful flirting reached the point where it seemed time to pair off, Skorzeny — the charming host — pulled a gun on the young couple and declared: “I know who you are, and I know why you’re here. You are Mossad, and you’ve come to kill me.”

The young couple did not even flinch. The man said: “You are half-right. We are from Mossad, but if we had come to kill you, you would have been dead weeks ago.”

“Or maybe,” Skorzeny said, “I would rather just kill you.”

Anke spoke up. “If you kill us, the ones who come next won’t bother to have a drink with you, You won’t even see their faces before they blow out your brains. Our offer to you is just for you to help us.”

After a long minute that felt like an hour, Skorzeny did not lower his gun, but he asked: “What kind of help? You need something done?” The Mossad officer — who even now is not being named by colleagues — told Skorzeny that Israel needed information and would pay him handsomely.

Hitler’s favorite commando paused for a few moments to think, and then surprised the Israeli by saying: “Money doesn’t interest me. I have enough.”

The Mossad man was further surprised to hear Skorzeny name something that he did want: “I need for Wiesenthal to remove my name from his list.” Simon Wiesenthal, the famous Vienna-based Nazi-hunter, had Skorzeny listed as a war criminal, but now the accused was insisting he had not committed any crimes.

The Israeli did not believe any senior Nazi officer’s claim of innocence, but recruiting an agent for an espionage mission calls for well-timed lies and deception. “Okay,” he said, “that will be done. We’ll take care of that.”

Skorzeny finally lowered his weapon, and the two men shook hands. The Mossad man concealed his disgust.

“I knew that the whole story about you being robbed was bogus,” Skorzeny said, with the boastful smile of a fellow intelligence professional. “Just a cover story.”

The next step to draw him in was to bring him to Israel. His Mossad handler, Raanan, secretly arranged a flight to Tel Aviv, where Skorzeny was introduced to Harel. The Nazi was questioned and also received more specific instructions and guidelines. During this visit, Skorzeny was taken to Yad Vashem, the museum in Jerusalem dedicated to the memory of the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The Nazi was silent and seemed respectful. There was a strange moment there when a war survivor pointed to Skorzeny and singled him out by name as “a war criminal.”

Raanan, as skilled an actor as any spy must be, smiled at the Jewish man and softly said: “No, you’re mistaken. He’s a relative of mine and himself is a Holocaust survivor.”

Naturally, many in Israeli intelligence wondered if the famous soldier for Germany had genuinely — and so easily — been recruited. Did he really care so much about his image that he demanded to be removed from a list of war criminals? Skorzeny indicated that being on the list meant he was a target for assassination. By cooperating with the Mossad, he was buying life insurance.

The new agent seemed to prove his full reliability. As requested by the Israelis, he flew to Egypt and compiled a detailed list of German scientists and their addresses.

Skorzeny also provided the names of many front companies in Europe that were procuring and shipping components for Egypt’s military projects. These included Heinz Krug’s company, Intra, in Munich.

Raanan continued to be the project manager of the whole operation aimed against the German scientists. But he assigned the task of staying in contact with Skorzeny to two of his most effective operatives: Rafi Eitan and Avraham Ahituv.

Eitan was one of the most amazing characters in Israeli intelligence. He earned the nickname “Mr. Kidnap” for his role in abducting Eichmann and other men wanted by Israeli security agencies. Eitan also helped Israel acquire materials for its secret nuclear program. He would go on to earn infamy in the 1980s by running Jonathan Pollard as an American Jewish spy in the United States government.

Surprisingly flamboyant after a life in the shadows, in 2006, at age 79, Eitan became a Member of Parliament as head of a political party representing senior citizens.

“Yes, I met and ran Skorzeny,” Eitan confirmed to us recently. Like other Mossad veterans, he refused to go on the record with more details.

Ahituv, who was born in Germany in 1930, was similarly involved in a wide array of Israeli clandestine operations all around the globe. From 1974 to 1980 he was head of the domestic security service, Shin Bet, which also guarded many secrets and often conducted joint projects with the Mossad.

The Mossad agents did try to persuade Wiesenthal to remove Skorzeny from his list of war criminals, but the Nazi hunter refused. The Mossad, with typical chutzpah, instead forged a letter — supposedly to Skorzeny from Wiesenthal— declaring that his name had been cleared.

Skorzeny continued to surprise the Israelis with his level of cooperation. During a trip to Egypt, he even mailed exploding packages; one Israeli-made bomb killed five Egyptians in the military rocket site Factory 333, where German scientists worked.

The campaign of intimidation was largely successful, with most of the Germans leaving Egypt. Israel stopped the violence and threats, however, when one team was arrested in Switzerland while putting verbal pressure on a scientist’s family. A Mossad man and an Austrian scientist who was working for Israel were put on trial. Luckily, the Swiss judge sympathized with Israel’s fear of Egypt’s rocket program. The two men were convicted of making threats, but they were immediately set free.

Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, however, concluded that all of this being out in public was disastrous to Israel’s image — and specifically could upset a deal he had arranged with West Germany to sell weapons to Israel.

Harel submitted a letter of resignation, and to his shock, Ben-Gurion accepted it. The new Mossad director, commander of military intelligence Gen. Meir Amit, moved the agency away from chasing or intimidating Nazis.

Amit did activate Skorzeny at least once more, however. The spymaster wanted to explore the possibility of secret peace negotiations, so he asked Israel’s on-the-payroll Nazi to arrange a meeting with a senior Egyptian official. Nothing ever came of it.

Skorzeny never explained his precise reasons for helping Israel. His autobiography does not contain the word “Israel,” or even “Jew.” It is true that he sought and got the life insurance. The Mossad did not assassinate him.

He also had a very strong streak of adventurism, and the notion of doing secret work with fascinating spies — even if they were Jewish — must have been a magnet for the man whose innovative escapades had earned him the Iron Cross medal from Hitler. Skorzeny was the kind of man who would feel most youthful and alive through killing and fear.

It is possible that regret and atonement also played a role. The Mossad’s psychological analysts doubted it, but Skorzeny may have genuinely felt sorry for his actions during World War II.

He may have been motivated by a combination of all these factors, and perhaps even others. But Otto Skorzeny took this secret to his grave. He died of cancer, at age 67, in Madrid in July 1975.

He had two funerals, one in a chapel in Spain’s capital and the other to bury his cremated remains in the Skorzeny family plot in Vienna. Both services were attended by dozens of German military veterans and wives, who did not hesitate to give the one-armed Nazi salute and sing some of Hitler’s favorite songs. Fourteen of Skorzeny’s medals, many featuring a boldly black swastika, were prominently paraded in the funeral processions.

There was one man at the service in Madrid who was known to no one in the crowd, but out of habit he still made sure to hide his face as much as he could. That was Joe Raanan, who by then had become a successful businessman in Israel.

The Mossad did not send Raanan to Skorzeny’s funeral; he decided to attend on his own, and at his own expense. This was a personal tribute from one Austrian-born warrior to another, and from an old spy handler to the best, but most loathsome, agent he ever ran.

Le journal israélien Haaretz et la revue américaine Forward viennent de publier un article surprenant sur un proche d’Hitler, l’Obersturmbannführer SS Otto Skorzeny, qui a rejoint le Mossad - les services secrets israéliens -après la Seconde guerre mondiale pour y remplir des missions de très haute importance.

Le Point n’hésite même plus à dire que Ulcan « bénéficierait de complicités en France au sein de la police et dans une partie de la communauté juive, qui se félicite ouvertement sur Internet de ses actions contre la liberté d’expression. » Ulcan ou le Mossad ?

Ulcan a-t-il fait intervenir la police chez Daniel Schneidermann ?
Le Point, le 17 juin 2015
▻http://www.lepoint.fr/societe/ulcan-a-t-il-fait-intervenir-la-police-chez-daniel-schneidermann-17-06-2015-

La police est intervenue cette nuit au domicile du journaliste Daniel Schneidermann. À 3 heures du matin, le commissariat de son arrondissement a reçu l’appel d’un individu se faisant passer pour le fondateur du site Arrêt sur images. Le faux Schneidermann affirmait avoir tué sa femme par arme à feu parce qu’il s’était rendu compte qu’elle le trompait. Il déclarait ensuite attendre les forces de l’ordre, arme à la main, et menaçait de tirer en cas d’intervention. Daniel Schneidermann et sa femme n’étaient pas présents à leur domicile et le journaliste a confirmé au Point l’intervention de la police.

Le mode opératoire du délinquant pro-israélien Grégory Chelli dit Ulcan ne fait guère de doute. Ce dernier, âgé de 32 ans, avait déjà hacké le site de critique des médias en raison de prises de position considérées comme antisionistes, notamment durant l’offensive armée menée par Israël à Gaza l’été dernier. Chelli est également soupçonné d’avoir récemment hacké l’ordinateur de Stéphane Richard, le PDG d’Orange, qui vient de déposer une plainte pour menaces de mort.

Grégory Chelli fait l’objet de multiples plaintes, un juge d’instruction parisien a été chargé de les instruire. Mais l’inaction de la police judiciaire et l’absence de réactivité de Bernard Cazeneuve, le ministre de l’Intérieur, permettent pour l’heure que les pratiques délictuelles - voire criminelles - de Chelli (le père d’un journaliste est décédé d’un infarctus à la suite de son harcèlement) - perdurent. Contrairement à ce qui a pu être relayé il y a quelques mois, Ulcan n’a fait l’objet d’aucune mesure de garde à vue en Israël où il est réfugié. Il bénéficierait de complicités en France au sein de la police et dans une partie de la communauté juive, qui se félicite ouvertement sur Internet de ses actions contre la liberté d’expression.

Mossad-Attentat in Dubai : Hat die Bundesanwaltschaft die Strafverfolgung in Deutschland sabotiert ? « De legibus-Blog
▻http://blog.delegibus.com/2010/08/16/mossad-attentat-in-dubai-hat-die-bundesanwaltschaft-die-strafverfolg

Am 19. Januar 2010 wurde Mahmud al-Mabhuh, ein führender Hamas-Terrorist, in einem Dubaier Hotel tot aufgefunden. Der Verdacht, daß ein Mordkommando des israelischen Geheimdienstes Mossad am Werk war, wurde aufgrund der Beweislage für die europäischen Regierungen bald zur Gewißheit.
...
Ins Visier der deutschen Justiz ist der Fall geraten, weil der Mossad, falls er tatsächlich hinter der Tat steckt, so wenig Achtung vor den Verfolgten des Nationalsozialismus hatte, daß er sich nicht schämte, einen Agenten beim Bundesverwaltungsamt aufgrund eines jüdischen Verfolgungsschicksals einen deutschen Reisepaß beantragen zu lassen. Mit diesem Paß und weiteren gefälschten oder erschlichenen Papieren sollen die israelischen Agenten in Dubai eingereist sein, um die “Zieltötung” zu begehen.

Am 4. Juni 2010 geschah das unwahrscheinliche: Der mutmaßliche Agent, gegen den sich die Ermittlungen richteten, wurde in Polen verhaftet. Die Bundesanwaltschaft beantragte die Auslieferung. Von den drei bisher in Raum stehenden Straftaten (Urkundsdelikt, Mord und Agententätigkeit) tauchten jedoch in dem Auslieferungsersuchen nur zwei auf. Der Mordverdacht aus den Kölner Ermittlungen war in dem Ersuchen der Bundesanwaltschaft nicht mehr enthalten. Schon aufgrund dieser Weglassung war der weitere Verlauf des Verfahrens absehbar:

Die polnischen Gerichte bewilligten die Auslieferung. Nach dem auslieferungsrechtlichen Spezialitätsgrundsatz (§ 83h IRG) werden allerdings Auslieferungen nur für bestimmte Tatbestände bewilligt. Für den Vorwurf der Agententätigkeit wurde sie verweigert, und zwar aufgrund von Art. 2 Abs. 4 des Rahmenbeschlusses des Rates vom 13. Juni 2002 über den Europäischen Haftbefehl und die Übergabeverfahren zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten (2002/584/JI), dem Erfordernis der beiderseitigen Strafbarkeit. Ebensowenig wie in Deutschland die Spionage gegen Polen strafbar ist, ist in Polen die Spionage gegen Deutschland strafbar (daß sowohl Deutschland als auch Polen NATO-Mitglieder sind, ändert daran nichts, da nach den NATO-Statuten eine Erstreckung des strafrechtlichen Schutzes vor Spionage nur eingreifen würde, wenn Polen Truppen in Deutschland stationiert hätte und umgekehrt, vgl. BGHSt 32, 104).

Agenten-"Tatort" : Bringt der Mossad in Wien Iraner um ?
▻http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/faktencheck-zu-tatort-aus-wien-bringt-der-mossad-iraner-um-a-1011265.html

Wie geht der Mossad gegen das iranische Atomprogramm vor?

Der sonst so verschwiegene Meir Dagan hat zum Schluss seiner Amtszeit Bilanz gezogen. Acht Jahre lang, von 2002 bis 2010, stand er als Chef dem israelischen Auslandsgeheimdienst Mossad vor. Dagans wichtigste Mission? Das iranische Atomprogramm zu sabotieren.

Zufrieden trat Dagan ab und resümierte: „Maßnahmen“ gegen Iran hätten dazu geführt, dass Teheran frühestens 2015 eine Bombe bauen könnte. Genügend Zeit also für Verhandlungen. Einen möglichen Militärangriff auf Iran bezeichnete Dagan als „bescheuerte Idee“.

Auf welche „Maßnahmen“ hat der Ex-Mossad-Chef angespielt? Israels Geheimdienst veröffentlicht keinen Geschäftsbericht. Aber es gab einige Auffälligkeiten:

Zwischen 2007 und 2011 sind fünf iranische Atomwissenschaftler ermordet worden, alle in Iran. Ein sechster hat ein Attentat knapp überlebt. Die Täter haben keinerlei Spuren hinterlassen.
Im selben Zeitraum wurde Irans Atomprogramm vom Computerwurm Stuxnet und dem Virus Duqu befallen und sabotiert.

Unwahrscheinlich ist, dass israelische Agenten einen österreichischen Waffenhändler mitten in Wien im Auto erschießen würden. Zumal viele Waffenhändler Fahrzeuge mit Panzerglas bevorzugen. Dagegen hätten es auch die Mossad-Kugeln schwer.

Wenn ich Waffenlobbyist würde, was ich im Leben nicht mehr werde, würde ich mir ein schickes Schloss irgendwo auf dem Land kaufen, wo ich die Leute zusammenbringe, mit denen ich höchst anrüchige Geschäfte zu machen plane. Leute aus dem Iran zum Beispiel und Leute, die Dinge herstellen, die der Iran eigentlich nicht kaufen darf.

Und dann würde ich mich umnennen, damit noch der letzte Trottel merkt, dass ich ein extrem anrüchiger Waffenlobbyist bin. Johannes Leopold Trachtenfels-Lissé wäre nicht schlecht. Aber so heißt ja schon der Jolly (so dürfen ihn seine vielen Freunde nennen), der extrem anrüchige Waffenlobbyist und Schlossbesitzer im neuen Fall von Moritz Eisner und Bibi Fellner.

...a surprising source: a popular Israeli account, celebrating the successes of the Mossad’s covert operations. “Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service,” first published in Hebrew in 2010, and then published in English in 2012, was Israel’s best-selling book for months in 2010. But not only does it acknowledge that it was indeed the #MEK that delivered the documents, it also suggests that at least some of the documents came from the Mossad.

The State Department is delaying the release of a volume from its U.S. foreign relations history that deals with the CIA-backed overthrow of an Iranian prime minister in the 1950s out of concern that publication could undermine nuclear diplomacy with the Islamic republic.

The decision was made at a September meeting of the department’s advisory committee on historical diplomatic documentation and recorded in minutes released this week. The foreign relations records aren’t supposed to be suppressed for longer than three decades.

Le #Hezbollah aurait capturé un espion israélien au Liban

« MS » aurait fourni des informations au #Mossad qui ont conduit à l’assassinat d’Imad Moughnieh en 2008

Le site libanais de nouvelles al-Nashra a rapporté mardi que le Hezbollah a capturé il y a quelques semaines un résident du sud Liban soupçonné de travailler comme espion et agent de renseignement pour le Mossad israélien.

Selon le rapport, le détenu, un homme d’affaires qui aurait été recruté par le Mossad dans un pays en Asie de l’Ouest, était en charge des opérations extérieures du Hezbollah, à la tête de l’unité « 910 », qui planifie et exécute des opérations dirigées contre des cibles israéliennes à travers le monde.

L’agent présumé, identifié seulement comme « MS », aurait aidé l’agence israélienne afin de déjouer des opérations du Hezbollah destinées à venger l’assassinat de Imad Moughnieh en 2008.

#Mossad takes hunt for foreign spies and informants online
▻http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4574107,00.html

It is already common for intelligence agencies to recruit their officers online, but Israel’s Mossad spy agency has gone one further by touting for local agents and informants too.

Israel, which has full diplomatic ties with only two Arab countries, Egypt and Jordan, lacks embassies elsewhere in the Middle East that would-be informants could turn to, leaving it in need of other local recruitment channels.


“All are welcome, regardless of religion, nationality or occupation, to contact our organization – Mossad – to work for us or to be involved in activities which could bring great personal benefit,” reads the new “Contact us” section of the Mossad website ( here ), also available in Arabic, Farsi, French or Russian.

“Rest assured that total discretion and confidentiality is of the utmost priority and is the basis of our connection.”

Even in Egypt and Jordan, Israel’s embassies are under heavy scrutiny and, apparently heeding the risk that online offers of information or help may also be far from secure, Mossad adds: “We suggest you consider whether the computer you are using and your location is secure enough. It would be safer to fill in the form using means that are not directly connected to you.”

The glossy Mossad website went up a decade ago to boost recruitment for officers and analysts amid increasingly fierce competition from Israel’s booming private hi-tech sector. In one promotional video, a couple are shown racing from shadowy spy missions to family time at home.

Gad Shimron, a former Mossad field officer who now writes on intelligence and military affairs, said the new approach “seems to be an effort by the Mossad to attract the maximum number of interested parties”.

"If some of them prove to be valuable sources of information or help, even if 90 percent get written off as useless, that could still be worthwhile.

Businessman alleges #Canada gave Israeli spy new identity
▻http://www.torontosun.com/2014/02/15/businessman-alleges-canada-gave-israeli-spy-new-identity

MONTREAL — Passport Canada secretly supplied a new identity and passport to a #Mossad agent living in Canada after the Israeli spy participated in the 2010 plot to kill a leader of terrorist group Hamas in a #Dubai hotel, a Montreal businessman has alleged.

Mysterious Canadian-Iranian businessman Arian Azarbar made the startling allegations in an exclusive interview with QMI Agency.

Azarbar says he learned about the top secret operation during a relationship he had with Trina Kennedy, a senior national security investigator at Passport Canada.

(...)

Alexis Pavelich, a spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander (responsible for Passport Canada), did not answer any questions about Azarbar’s allegations.

QMI Agency reported Friday that Alexander ordered an internal probe and Kennedy had been relieved of her duties after Azarbar made a series of allegations about her to federal authorities.

Canada Welcomes Mossad Assassin, Offers Him New Identity
▻http://www.richardsilverstein.com/2014/02/16/canada-welcomes-mossad-assassin-offers-him-new-identity

I’ve confirmed that the story is accurate through my own Israeli source. When asked, he said it would be fruitless even to try to deny it since the story came straight from the horse’s mouth (Canadian intelligence). There are many astonishing aspects of this story. First, in light of Israel cloning passports of dual citizens of nations like France, Ireland, Australia and the UK, it didn’t even have to take the trouble with Canada. That nation perpetrated the identity fraud on Israel’s behalf. Can you imagine a country creating a fake identity for an intelligence agent of a foreign country? It beggars belief. Second, this means that Canada doesn’t tolerate the presence of Mossad agents on its soil, it welcomes them. A country like the U.S. begrudgingly accepts that Israel is the third most intensive intelligence presence inside the U.S.. But not Canada. It’s motto is the old Monty Hall shout-out to the TV prize winner: “come on down!”

Carlos (The Jackal) Vs. #Michel_Mukarbil

The events of late June 1975 are still shrouded in mystery: How did Carlos, the jackal, manage at 9 Rue Toullier in the Quartier Latin to shoot dead two agents of the DST (Directorate of Territorial Surveillance – the highly secretive anti-terrorist force) and also manage to kill the Lebanese head of Wadi Haddad’s organization in Europe, Michel Mukarbil (often transliterated in the Western press as Moukharbal) and seriously injure yet another DST agent. Carlos then fled the scene. But the true role and background of Mukarbil is the most mysterious element of the story.

Report : Zygier planned to pass info to Hezbollah - Israel News, Ynetnews
▻http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4360818,00.html

At the time of his arrest, Ben Zygier, also known as ‘Prisoner X,’ was carrying a disk containing sensitive information, which he planned to pass onto a Hezbollah informant, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Monday.
 
According to the report, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah knew about Zygier’s communication with the informant, who Zygier had tried to recruit as a double agent.
 
On Sunday German newspaper Der Spiegel reported that information passed on by Zygier led to the capture of two Mossad informants in Lebanon by the Hezbollah. Reuters reported that Zygier was planning to sneak into Syria.

Washington s’inquiète des actions du Mossad en Iran

L’Administration Obama cache de moins en moins son exaspération et ses craintes face aux initiatives israéliennes.

L’assassinat, probablement par le Mossad, d’un cinquième scientifique iranien mardi dernier était celui de trop. Les États-Unis font entendre de plus en plus ouvertement ces derniers jours leur exaspération à l’égard des services secrets israéliens. Ils craignent qu’ils ne les entraînent dans un conflit aux retombées catastrophiques avec l’Iran, en pleine année électorale. Barack Obama a appelé Benyamin Nétanyahou le lendemain même de l’incident, officiellement pour garantir le « soutien indéfectible des États-Unis à la sécurité d’Israël », mais d’importants exercices antimissiles communs prévus au printemps ont été reportés, officiellement pour des raisons budgétaires.

State Department Lied, Denying Dubai Asked for Assistance in Tracking Mossad Assassins | Tikun Olam-תקון עולם : Make the World a Better Place
►http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2010/12/26/wikileaks-state-department-lied-denying-dubai-asked-for-assistan

On February 25, 2010, State Department spokesperson Philip Crowley lied when he told a press conference that he wasn’t aware of any request from Dubai for assistance in tracking the Mossad killers of Mahmoud al-Mabouh. To those who say that Wikileaks hasn’t told us anything we didn’t already know–think again.
Wikileaks has just released a February 24, 2010 cable in which the embassy relays the specific credit card numbers used by 14 of the 27 known Mossad suspects to State with a request for assistance from authorities investigating the killing, and confirms that the UAE foreign minister made the exact same request directly to Secretary Clinton on February 23rd:

Le câble en question :
►http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/Cable/Dubai/pide/ayuda/EE/UU/investigar/asesinato/lider/Hamas/elpepuint/20101225elpepuint_5/Tes

On the margins of a meeting with visiting Secretary Chu, on Feb 24 MFA Minister of State Gargash made a formal request to the Ambassador for assistance in providing cardholder details and related information for credit cards reportedly issued by a U.S. bank to several suspects in last month’s killing of Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in Dubai. According to a letter Gargash gave the Ambassador (which transmitted details of the request from Dubai Security authorities to the UAE Central Bank), the credit cards were issued by MetaBank, in Iowa. Embassy LEGATT is transmitting the request and associated details to FBI HQ. Gargash asked that Embassy pass any reply to the director of the General Directorate of State Security (GDSS) in Dubai.

Silverstein fait également remarquer que, si depuis quelques jour il y a une rumeur insistante selon laquelle le nouveau chef du Mossad s’apprêterait à reconnaître la responsabilité israélienne et à présenter ses excuses à la Grande-Bretagne (et promettre de ne plus utiliser de passeports britanniques, ah ah ah), cela est certainement plus lié à la sortie annoncée des câbles de #Wikileaks qu’à une bonne volonté du nouveau chef des coups tordus.

Yesterday, I reported that incoming Mossad director Tamir Pardo was prepared to concede Israeli responsibility for the Dubai hit. To any who might view this as an Israeli official seeking to take responsibility for Israeli misdeeds or some such…Wikileaks is rumored to be about to publish cables in which the lid is blown on Mossad involvement. So it’s no skin off Pardo’s back if he admits to a crime which was about to be exposed anyway by others.

Août 2007, un an après la guerre israélienne contre le #Liban, le chef du #Mossad, #Meir_Dagan, dit tout le bien qu’il pense du premier ministre libanais #Fouad_Sanioura:

Il annonce notamment que «les États-Unis et Israël [...] sont à deux doigts de parvenir à quelque chose au Liban, et ne peuvent pas se permettre de baisser la garde. Ce qui est nécessaire, c’est de trouver une façon de soutenir le Premier ministre Sanioura.»

"17. (S) Dagan urged caution with respect to Lebanon, noting that the results of efforts there to bolster the Siniora government would impact Syria and Iraq. The U.S. and Israel, he said, are on the edge of achieving something in Lebanon, and so cannot afford to drop their guard. What is necessary is finding the right way to support PM Siniora. “He is a courageous man,” Dagan said. Syria, Iran and Hizballah are working hard against him. Dagan noted that much of what is animating the leadership of Lebanon to take on Syria is personal: “Hariri, Jumblat and others had their parents executed by the Syrians.” This anti-Syrian sentiment has forged an alliance based on personal and national interests. Siniora has worked well with the situation, but Dagan suggested that the odds are against him. Under Secretary Burns replied that the U.S. is trying to give PM Siniora as much support as possible, and that we would continue to consult closely with Israel on Lebanon. He noted that he would return to Israel in October."
