Iran: We Arrested Mossad Agents

January 11, 2011 - 4:35 AM | by: Yonat Friling

Iranian state TV showed Monday a young man who claimed to be an assassin for the Israeli spy agency.   The suspect, Majid Jamali Fesh (28), said that he was responsible for the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist in Tehran last year.  He was arrested by the Iranian intelligence along with 10 other alleged Mossad operatives in the country.

In a TV interview to Press TV, the man described how he traveled to Israel, for training and briefing sessions “We arrived at the airport in Tel Aviv and at passport control I was asked a question and since I didn’t know Hebrew it aroused the suspicion of the official. At that moment, the person responsible for me came and presented a ticket, took my passport and we went a different way,” he said.

“We exited Tel Aviv on the highway towards Jerusalem and after half an hour arrived at Mossad headquarters, which is located on the main road between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It was building surrounded by a 3-4 kilometer long wall and encircled by an electric fence.”

Senior intelligence analyst, Dr. Ronen Bergman finds faults in the televised testimony of the alleged Israeli spy. “Although he supplied many details, some are unrealistic. If Mossad wants to bring an operative to Israel, they will make sure he will not go through passport control.”

Israeli authorities declined to comment.
