An Egyptian recently arrested on charges of spying for Israel, Tarek Abdel Razek Hussein, has revealed to interrogators the name of a Syrian official he recruited to provide information on Syria’s nuclear program.
Hussein, in the summarized interrogations exclusively published by Al-Masry Al-Youm, said the nuclear official in Syria’s military intelligence, Saleh al-Nejm, worked with him, under Mossad’s coordination, to track Syria's uranium enrichment plants, nuclear remnants disposal spots, and other elements related to Syria’s nuclear program.
Hussein discovered that al-Nejm had been working with Mossad for years, he added.
The information was later transferred to an Israeli nuclear expert, according to Hussein, who said he believed it was a helpful tool in the Israeli air raid on alleged Syrian nuclear sites in September 2007.
