Pompeo: CIA Rescued Mossad Agents in Imminent Peril


(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - In his new book, former CIA director and U.S. secretary of state Mike Pompeo reveals that during his term, the CIA rescued Mossad agents in imminent peril at the personal request of then-Mossad director Yossi Cohen. Israeli intelligence sources repeatedly denied that the operation in question was Israel's heist of Iran's secret nuclear archive in Tehran. Pompeo wrote, "Whenever Yossi called, I took it. He did the same for me....I was there to help our friends, no questions asked, no matter the risks. My people swung into action across the world. We connected with his team, and within 24 hours we had guided them to safe houses. Within the next two days, they were back in their home countries without the world ever knowing that one of the most significant clandestine operations ever conducted was now complete."
