Turkey Blows Israel's Cover for Iranian Spy Ring
(Washington Post) David Ignatius - The Turkish government of Prime Minister Erdogan last year disclosed to Iranian intelligence the identities of up to 10 Iranians who had been meeting inside Turkey with their Mossad case officers. Knowledgeable sources describe the Turkish action as a "significant" loss of intelligence and "an effort to slap the Israelis." Israeli intelligence officers are said to have described Turkish intelligence chief Hakan Fidan to CIA officials as "the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security station chief in Ankara." The U.S. continued to deal with Fidan on sensitive matters, however.
