Mossad implicated in missing defector mystery

"BY WAY OF DECEPTION THOU SHALT DO WAR" - MOSSAD LOGO in Hebrew
An Iranian former spy chief is being debriefed by Western intelligence officials after defecting, sources claimed yesterday.

Speaking to The Washington Post, the sources said Ali Reza Azkari, 63, turned himself over to foreign spy agencies and was providing intelligence about Iran's close links with Hizbollah.

One of the sources said Mossad, the Israeli foreign intelligence agency which is known to have extensive contacts in Iran, coordinated his defection although there was no official confirmation from the 'Jewish State'.
