ESPIONAGE
Egypt announced on November 28, 2000 that their internal security agents had arrested a 35 year old engineer for spying in behalf of the Israeli intelligence service - Mossad.
The accused is Shereef Fawzi Mohammed el-Falali who is alleged to have passed information on Eqypt's arms, tourism and agricultrial industries.
The Egyptians claim that el-Falali had a handler who was a Mossad agent and who currently is a fugitive and expected to be tried in abstentia.
El-Falali was reported to have been initially recruited by a Jewish woman in Germany who he said he fell in love with.

In 1996 the prestigious American Society For Industrial Security (ASIS) did a study on what countries were foremost in attempting to acquire American industrial secrets.
Not surprisingly the People's Republic Of China (PROC) was ranked number one.
Coincidentally our research (United States Department Of State) indicates that the PROC embassy in the Washington,
D. C. has a cadre of one hundred and thirty four personnel which is the largest in the United States.
This blatant over staffing is obviously intended for only one purpose when you consider the findings of the Congressional (Cox) Report which states that the PROC has been involved in a twenty year espionage operation targeted at the United States military and industrial community.
The Cox findings included the shocking fact that PROC espionage agents successfully infiltrated the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and purloined secret design data on the U.S. enhanced radiation nuclear warhead (neutron bomb).
Furthermore, the Chinese spies also went to the Federal facility
at Los Alamos and obtained data on the W-88 missile warhead which is the most advanced in the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
Another interesting fact that we discovered was that over the last twenty years the American news media, motion picture/television industry, published authors, and investigating committees of the U.S. Senate and Congress and many others have devoted a great deal of time and effort to chronicling the intelligence/organized crime activities of the former Soviet Union and the new Russia while the PROC appears to be invisible?
The other countries on the ASIS list were (in ranked order)
Canada, France, India, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Russia, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Israel, and Mexico.
The continuing problem is that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies are frequently inhibited in conducting critically needed counter-intelligence operations and the same is true with corporate securitity departments.
The American business community does itself and the nation a terrible diservice when it fails to provide its securitity managers with proper budgets and personnel to combat the theft of classified technology.
