Jordan Kicks Mossad out and Yatom to take fall for
Netanyahu
Jordan, Politics, 10/10/1997Israeli Mossad agents operating in Jordan have reportedly left Amman upon
orders from King Hussein who demanded that all Mossad activities in the
kingdom be brought to an end in the aftermath of the failed assassination
attempt on Hamas political leader in Amman, Khaled Mishal. Israeli
sources in Tel Aviv claimed that the presence of Mossad agents in Amman
was known to the Jordanian authorities and that they worked closely with
Jordanian security officials. The Israeli version of the assassination attempt
had distanced the Mossad agents in Amman from the opration but King
Hussein had not been convinced and asked that those be pulled out of
Jordan immeidately.Senior Jordanian sources said that King Hussein has demanded that all the
Mossad members who were involved in the assassination attempt on
Khaled Mishal be fired. According to the sources, the King has not yet
forgiven and has even told Israel that there will be no security cooperation
between the two countries for as long as persons connected to the
assassination attempt remain in the Mossad, including Mossad head Danny
Yatom.Israeli intelligence capability has as such faced a major setback, Israeli
intelligence sources said lately, noting that the Mossad station in amman had
been used to collect information not only on Jordan but also on Syria, Iraq
and Iran. "Without the station operating in Amman, the Mossad will have to
go back to the old days when it was extremely difficult to collect
information on those countries," intelligence sources said. Those sources
were among a number of Mossad officials who had opposed to the
assassination attempt and argued that even in case of full success, the attack
would torpedo Israel's relations with Jordan, the only country that
supposedly has warm peace ties with the Jewish state. The sources claimed
that prior to the assassination attempt, excellent relations developed
between Mossad agents in Jordan and their counterparts in the Jordanian
intelligence and security forces. The departure of Mossad agents from
Jordan has caused security damages to Israel, they said. Jordanian
intelligence sources , however, were quoted by Hebrew papers on Friday
as saying there is a deep crisis of trust, and a complete cut-off in
cooperation between Jordan and Israel, following the exposure of the affair.Reports circulating in Israel said the Jordanian authorities were angry at he
assassination attempt also because of the fact that Mossad head Dany
Yatom was former prime minsiter Yitzhak Rabin's military secretary with
whom they became acquainted long before the warm negotations between
the two sides led to the peace treaty in 1994. The disclosure that Yatom
was responsible for sending the hit squad to Jordan had reportedly stunned
the King and the various security agencies in Jordan. The feeling of lost trust
also caused the Jordanians to suspect that the Mossad compound in their
country was connected to the affair. At one point, they even refused to
believe that Ambassador Oded Aran didn¹t know anything about the
operation. This is due to the fact that four of the participants in the failed
assassination took refuge in the Israel embassy in Amman.Israeli press on Friday noted that Jordan has shown a reluctance to burn
bridges with Israel altogether. The papers noted that the visit to Jordan by
Israel air force commander had not been canceled, and that on Thursday,
many Jordanian officials, and the King¹s sister, visited the Israeli stall at an
international sport conference being held in Amman. Profits from the
exhibition were to go to help orphans in Jordan.Meanwhile, Canada and Israel are likely to settle the diplomatic crisis that
erupted between the two countries in the wake of the usage of Canadian
passports in the failed Mossad operation in Jordan. Israeli foreign minister
David Levy and his Canadian counterpart Lloyd Axelworthy are expected
to sign a joint statement in which Israel will express willingness to reach an
understanding with Canada on consular affairs (a hint that Israel will
promise not to use Canadian passports in the future). Israel will also
express sorrow in the statement over having gotten Canada involved in the
affair.Canadian passportsIsrael, Canada deny report that Mossad still uses fake
Israel-Canada, Politics, 11/5/1998Just one year after the attempt made by Israeli Mossad agents using forged
Canadian passports to assassinate Khaled Mishal, chairman of the political
bureau of the Palestinian Hamas movement, in Jordan, Canadian television
on Wednesday reported that Mossad agents try to carry Canadian
passports illegally.This was done by the Israelis "despite promises that Israel would stop doing
so," Canadian television reported on Wednesday.The Israeli prime minister's media advisor denied that Mossad agents
continue to use Canadian passports, saying that there is "no basis" for the
Canadian media reports.Canadian Foreign affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy on Wednesday stated
that the allegations could not be corroborated.In a statement issued Tuesday night the Canadian government said:
"Minister Axworthy takes these assertions very seriously. He has instructed
his officials to immediately review the claims stated in the report."The Canadian report said that Israeli agents had repeatedly asked Leslie
Lewis, a dual Canadian-Israeli citizen, to use his own passport and that of
his daughter, adding that Lewis informed the Canadian authorities the
Mossad approached him as recently as last February about obtaining the
Canadian passport.http://www.codoh.com/newsdesk/971002.HTML
Israeli Agents Use Forged Canadian
Passports In Failed Mossad Assassination
Attempt
OTTAWA, Oct 2 (AFP) - Canada recalled its ambassador to Israel
Thursday as it stepped up pressure to end the apparent use by the
Israeli secret service of fake Canadian passports for its undercover
operatives.Furious Canadian officials were scrambling to find out the truth
behind the use of forged Canadian passports by two unsuccessful
hitmen in Jordan last week in a failed assasssination attempt on a
HAMAS leader.In a rare move, indicating Ottawa believed the Israeli government to
be behind the forgeries, Canada's ambassador to Israel, David
Berger, was recalled for consultations and the Israeli ambassador in
Ottawa, David Sultan, was summoned to the Department of Foreign
Affairs.There was confusion in the House of Commons as opposition
members of parliament tried to find out what was happening, with
Prime Minister Jean Chretien in Vancouver and Foreign Minister
Lloyd Axworthy at the United Nations in New York.David Kilgour, secretary of state for Latin America and Africa,
appeared flustered as he suggested Canadian officials had not seen
the alleged forged passports and then indicated that they had.He admitted he did not know the whereabouts of the two forged
passports found in the possession of two men arrested by Jordanian
authorities and accused of the attempted murder of Khaled Meshaal,
the head of the Hamas political office in Amman.Meshaal was attacked a week ago in Amman by two men posing as
Canadian tourists who sprayed him with an unidentified debilitating
chemical. He was released from hospital late Thursday.Officials in Amman said Jordan had irrefutable proof the two
assailants were Israeli agents.In the House of Commons, Kilgour said: "The wherabouts of the
passports at this moment are not known to myself. It has been
determined beyond a reasonable doubt, to my knowledge, that they
are forged passports."Axworthy, in New York, was angry.
"We, of course, take great exception to the use of Canadian
passports for that purpose," he said. "There are very strict
international standards for the use of international documents."Axworthy, insisting Canada did not cooperate in any way with the
Israelis on providing identities for the alleged hitmen, said, "We want
to make it very clear that Canada was not in any way involved."The foreign minister said he took up the issue in a meeting with US
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and added that recalling
Berger from Israel "is a very serious step to take."Axworthy, who was due to meet Jordanian Foreign Minister Fayez
al-Tarawneh later Thursday to hear the findings of Amman's
investigations into the attack, said Canada took the incident "very
seriously."He is to return to Ottawa later Thursday, cutting short his New York
visit.Canadian officials in Ottawa, speaking on background, said that
Israel had promised in 1981 to bar its secret agents from using
Canadian passports, after such an incident had come to light.But a 1990 book by a former Israeli secret agent and a Canadian
journalist claims that the Israelis are still producing forged or stolen
Canadian passports.Former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky and journalist Claire Hoy, in
their book "By Way of Deception," claimed that Ostrovksy had
personally seen a Mossad passport factory which contained "a large
batch of blank Canadian passports."Ostrovsky concluded: "They must have been stolen. It looked like an
entire shipment. There were over 1,000 of them."He also said in the book that "many immigrants to Israel are also
asked if they will give up their passports to save Jews."These passports "end up in a huge library-like room, containing many
thousands of passports, divided by countries, cities and even
districts."
