Less than five days ahead of the forthcoming parliamentary elections, the "Israeli" Mossad-linked spying cells remained at the top of the priorities in the country...
While the politicians seem to be preoccupied with Sunday's so-called "fateful" elections, not one day passes without new "surprises" and "scandals" in the spying file, revealing more flagrant acts and "crimes" committed by those who chose to "betray" their own country..
On Tuesday, Lebanon's General Security Department known as Surete Generale arrested an Egyptian, identified as Mohammad R., in the southern village of Aita al-Shaab on suspicion of spying for the "Israeli" enemy. They said a security force raided his house and seized a computer set and a number of CD ROMs.
A police patrol also arrested a school teacher in the southern town of Qsseibeh. The teacher, in his 60s, was not identified. But media reports said a computer set was confiscated from his house.
Meanwhile, Lebanese daily As-Safir quoted well-informed sources as saying that the investigations with agent Jawdat Hakim (54 years old) revealed that he was a major partner in the preparation of the assassination of martyr Ghaleb Awali in the southern suburb of Beirut on July 19, 2004.
According to As-Safir, Jawdat confessed that he started dealing with the enemy in the mid-90s, admitting that he has visited the Palestinian occupied territories four times where he met with a number of "Israeli" officials who trained him. He said that he was paid, for his "services," in a regular basis since the beginning of his "spying" activities.
The mentioned agent also confessed, according to As-Safir, of working in favor of the "Israeli" enemy during the "Israeli" July 2006 war against Lebanon. During the war, he didn't leave his southern town of Ibl Al-Saqi and did his best to provide the "Israelis" with information on the Resistance and Lebanese army's moves as well as the Resistance's abilities in a daily basis.
For its part, Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar quoted well-informed sources as saying that the arrested colonel, identified as S.T., has admitted in his interrogation that he was recruited by "Israel" in the mid-1990s and entrusted with spying on both the Lebanese and the Syrian armies as well as on Hizbullah. The sources noted that communication devices - which were being used by the agent to stay in touch with his "Israeli" employers - had been confiscated from his house.
