Prisoner X Sabotaged "Israeli" Spy Mission to Recover Soldiers’ Bodies

Local Editor

ABC channel reported Tuesday that Australian-"Israeli" Mossad agent Ben Zygier unwittingly sabotaged a top secret spy operation aimed at bringing back the bodies of "Israeli" soldiers missing in Lebanon.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, which broke the story in February of Zygier's arrest, detention and suicide in a Tel Aviv jail, said his recklessness forced Mossad to abort the sophisticated mission.

The "Israeli" government went to extreme lengths to cover up the existence of Zygier, known as "Prisoner X", and the reason for his imprisonment.
German magazine Der Spiegel previously revealed that Prisoner X felt in the trap of Hizbullah.
ABC said "Israel" gagged his existence due to the sensitive nature of the operation he compromised.

The mission would have meant closure to a 30-year campaign for the return of the remains of three tank crewmen who were killed during "Israel's" invasion of Lebanon in 1982, it said.
They were identified as Zachary Baumel, Yehuda Katz and Tzvi Feldman, who were killed in Lebanon's Bekka Valley.

The broadcaster interviewed a Lebanese man, Ziad al-Homsi, a former commander of Lebanese forces in the Bekka Valley, who said he was recruited by Mossad in 2007 after being lured to China for a convention.
In Beijing he was contacted by a Syrian named George Attar, who claimed his brother in Europe was working to return the remains of missing "Israeli" soldiers.
Al-Homsi said he suspected Mossad was involved, which was confirmed over five trips to Thailand to meet with other operatives.

"After one year of meeting with them, at the last meeting they informed me about the location of the corpses, exactly where they were," he said.

The agents wanted Al-Homsi to arrange to dig up the remains and leave them for someone else, according to the report, which also cited a former Mossad agent.
But before this happened, the mission was exposed after Lebanese intelligence sources were told Al- Homsi was an "Israeli" agent.

The broadcaster said Zygier, who was raised in Melbourne but moved to the Zionist entity about a decade before his death, was responsible for blowing his cover.
It said that in 2008 he was desperate to please his spy masters at Mossad and embarked upon a rogue mission to make contact with a Hizbullah agent.
Al Homsi was arrested by Lebanese special forces and accused of spying for Mossad.

Zygier was arrested in January 2010 by "Israel's" internal security service Shin Bet and found dead in his supposedly suicide-proof cell in December 2010 at the age of 34.
