30/08/2004 Report: FBI agents tailed Israeli Embassy official in mole affair

By Nathan Guttman, Haaretz Correspondent

(conclusion - do not engage in warm discussion with Israelis who are US allies - keep the distance to keep calm the Franch, the Arabs and other Muslim states)


Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday that the FBI began investigating suspected Pentagon mole Larry Franklin after tailing the Minister of Political Affairs at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, Naor Gilon, who met an AIPAC representative for lunch. Franklin reportedly approached their table and engaged in a warm conversation with them.


The magazine also said Franklin was once posted at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv when he served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. The magazine said FBI counterintelligence agents were following Franklin when they saw him attempt to pass a classified policy document on Iran to an unnamed surveillance target.

The U.S. administration believes that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will refrain from charging Franklin with espionage, American media said Sunday. The FBI apparently lacks any evidence that the Pentagon data analyst was operated by either Israel or AIPAC.
