Germany Knew Eichmann's Hiding Place Years Before Capture
By Theunis Bates - AOL NewsAfter 15 years on the run, justice finally caught up with Adolf Eichmann on May 11, 1960. The Nazi war criminal -- who organized the deportation of millions of Jews to death camps in German-occupied Poland -- was kidnapped outside his Buenos Aires home by Mossad agents and brought to trial in Israel. He was found guilty of crimes against humanity and hanged in 1962. But Eichmann's capture needn't have been so long in the making. German newspaper Bild this weekend published a secret service document that revealed West German intelligence officials knew about his Argentine hideout as early as ...
Iran Says It Has Cracked an Israeli Spy Ring
By Linda Gradstein - AOL NewsJERUSALEM -- Iran says it has broken up an Israeli spy ring and captured an agent who helped assassinate an Iranian nuclear scientist last year, raising tensions between the two countries even further. Iran's foreign minister today said Tehran will bring Israel to justice for "crimes against humanity and our scientists." The alleged Mossad agent was paraded on Iranian TV's English broadcast Monday night and shown on Israel TV's Channel 2. The suspect's name was not given, but he appeared to be in his early 30s. He said he traveled to Israel, where he met with his Israeli handlers. He ...

By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsA bird suspected by some of being a spy for Israel's Mossad is being released by Saudi Arabia after officials learned the creature was merely part of a university research project.

The bird was wearing a GPS transmitter and a leg bracelet with the words "Tel Aviv University," according to reports that began with the Israeli daily Ma'ariv. Within hours, reports that Israel was using birds of prey in a Zionist espionage plot went viral ...

Mossad's Seductive 'Honey Trap' Is Kosher, Rabbi Finds
By Matthew Kalman - AOL NewsJERUSALEM (Oct. 4) -- Female Mossad agents can relax. That classic spy tool, the honey trap, is kosher after all. Rabbi Ari Shvat, an expert on Jewish law and modern politics, says Israeli women can sleep with the enemy in the interests of national security. The scholar has found that it is not a breach of Jewish law for a woman to seduce terrorists and other dangerous enemies in order to gain vital intelligence to save lives. The scholar's views on "Illicit Sex for the Sake of National Security" were published in Tehumin, the annual journal of the Zomet Institute in the West Bank, which ...
Book: Nazi Hunter Worked for Israeli Spy Agency
By Deborah Hastings - AOL News(Sept. 3) -- Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal was long believed to work alone in his tireless obsession to find Adolf Hitler's war comrades, but a new book asserts he often really worked for the Israeli spy agency Mossad. According to "Simon Wiesenthal: The Life and Legends," a book released this week by Israeli historian and journalist Tom Segev, Wiesenthal was involved with Israel's intelligence agents a year before Mossad was even established, the Jerusalem Post reported. The book claims that the Holocaust survivor participated in a failed, little-known 1948 attempt to capture top Nazi Adolf ...
Germans Seek Extradition of Alleged Mossad Agent
By William Boston - AOL NewsBERLIN (June 14) -- In another twist in the alleged involvement of Israel's Mossad spy service in the killing of a Hamas leader, Germany is demanding extradition of Uri Brodsky, a suspected Mossad agent who is being held in Poland. German prosecutors have confirmed that they issued a European arrest warrant for Brodsky on accusations of espionage. Brodsky was arrested June 4 when he arrived on an international flight at the Warsaw airport. Israel is believed to have urged Poland to quietly turn Brodsky over to it rather than to the Germans. "The prosecutor's office will request extradition ...
Australia Boots Israeli in Controversy Over Assassination
By Terence Neilan - AOL News(May 24) -- Australia today ordered the expulsion of an Israeli diplomat over the use of four fake Australian passports in the assassination of a key Hamas official in Dubai in January. The decision follows a similar action taken by the U.K. in March after London said 12 forged British passports were used in the plot to kill Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel room. In both cases the original passports belonged to people living in Israel. "These are not the actions of a friend," Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith told Parliament today, according to several media reports. "No ...
State-Sponsored Assassins Tend to Get Away
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(March 6) -- Details continue to trickle out about the assassination in January of Hamas military leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. And while Israel has not confirmed or denied involvement, everyone -- even Israel's friends -- suspects its intelligence service, Mossad, masterminded and carried out the hit. The Mossad has conducted plenty of assassinations in the past. And so, too, have other countries. The only thing surprising about the latest hit is how quickly the details of the operation became public -- thanks to Dubai's release of the surveillance footage and (forged) passport ...
