A Spy is caught in Egypt

Oh yes it had been a long time when I heard that a spy in caught in Egypt since Sherif El-Falfai for couple of years

A spy working for Israeli Mossad was arrest in January 2006 and was sent to the Grand National security court today and thus the news official reached out to Press

The Spy is Mohammed Essam Ghonam El-Attar,31 years old , has two passports one Egyptian and one is Canadian , a student in the 3rd year in the faculty of Sciences University of Al-Azhar !! "Oh boy Al-Azhar ,I thought they teach them that loyalty to the nation is part of the religion"

He was arrested in the Cairo airport last month January 2007 on the first day of the year ,the 1st while he was coming for a family visit from Canada.There are others to be arrested in what they considered a spy ring , Israeli threes.Already they informed the Israeli Embassy with a letter , I don't know but do the authorities in Egypt and the intelligence think that the Israelis would give up their men that easy ,or it is just silly international protocol to be followed in such circumstance , of course the Israeli Embassy is too busy to respond on the letter ,they are busy in protecting the ambassador from the Maadi slayer !!

Now the details of El-Attar life and recruitment to work in Israel I believe is bit different between Filbalad and Ha'atrz

In Filbalad based upon the National Security Attorney Hisham Badawy statement :

  • El-Attar began his work with the Israeli Mossad in August 2001 ,when he traveled to Canada ,went to the Israeli Embassy and offered his espionage services and thus he was recruited , before going to Canada ,he went to Turkey in July 2001 for terrorism
  • He was trained and recruited by three officers ,one of them called "Daniel Levy" in order to work for them in Canada and Turkey.
  • His assignments were the following to spy on both Egyptian and Arabic community there , supply them with information about both communities, and to find individuals who are good to be recruited to work for the Mossad from both communities , that is he would be a spy and a recruiter "already in espionage ,the spy who recruits others got a specific name ,I know it in Arabic thanks to Dr.Nabil Farouk novels but I don't have a clue about it in English"
  • He took from them 50,000 American dollars

In Ha'atrz the following also is based upon the N.S.A Badawy :

  • He was living in Turkey in 2001 and was recruited there not in Canada
  • The Mossad assisted him in obtaining a residency permit in Canada under a fake name and found him work in a bank.
  • Among his assignments was to use his position in the bank to obtain information on specific accounts "very dangerous, so dangerous"
  • And that he had been under investigation or like in the Intel term under control since 2002

The difference between Ha'atrz and Filbalad is not big it is like the puzzle ,in fact I think the story goes like this based upon the two sources added to it the official complete statement in the official Nile News

In 2001 after finishing his third year in Al-Azhar University in the faculty of Science, El-Attar went to Turkey with a tourist visa but he wanted to work there and never return back to Egypt as he felt that he didn't belong to the Egyptian society "is he a gay or something ??" but of course he couldn't take the working visa because it means he will have to pay Turkish taxes so he took a tourist visa , he chose Turkey because it was easiest and nearest from the other European country .As soon as he arrived to Ankara the young man didn't waste his time and went directly to the United Nations commission for refugees in order to get a refugee to any western country for human reason, after that he met "Daniel Levy ",he said that in the investigation he met him the Commission of the refugees ,but I think he met him in the Israeli Embassy because the National security investigation said that he had offered his services to the Israeli Embassy in Ankara , think about it is more logic

Anyhow El-Attar trusted "Levy" and told him everything about his life circumstances and so Levy in a way to win the trust of El-Attar helped him to get the refugee right in Turkey.Look I believe that El-Attar knew very well the price and that's why it was not long in a period of month he was recruited and trained to spy on the Egyptian and Arab community there in Ankara especially in their meeting places especially Cafe "Miser" near the Egyptian Embassy in Ankara and it seemed he was good in it ,because in few weeks he would leave to Canada with another passport and a whole new id with the Name "Joseph Ramzy Atia" ,yes an Egyptian Christian , the Egyptian Christian community there in Canada is huge one where he was received by "Kamal Tobsha" another Israeli Mossad officer who provided him a work in a fast food restaurant , "El-Attar" who then became "Joseph" was spying on Egyptians and Arabs , writing reports about them for "Tobsha" and scouting those who could work for the Mossad

Then he was ordered to move to "Toronto" where there is a big Egyptian Arab community ,he was received by another Mossad officer "Tongay Bobay" who provided him with a job in a fast food near the main mosque in "Toronto" , his assignment was as like the previous ones ,spying and scouting ,writing reports

It began to change when "Bobay" provided him in a job in a Bank ,where he should do the following and read it carefully to collect information on the Egyptians and Arabs accounts there,he wrote notes about the size of their accounts ,their phone numbers ,their personalities , and scout those who can work with the Mossad.He took the Canadian citizenship in November 2006 and there he asked for permission from "Baboy" to come in Egypt

The Egyptian Intelligence knew about him since the 26 January 2002 exactly,yet they couldn't arrest him while in Canada ,as he is considered a Canadian so they waited as soon as he stepped the Egyptian land in Cairo airport he was arrested on the 1st of January 2007 in a family visit that was the first from 2002 , and by the way he was supposed to go to Israel after that visit through Jordan!! I guess he missed that trip

I don't know but this is the first time I believe to arrest an Egyptian spy who was spy outside Egypt in foreign countries like Canada and Turkey ,Of course it is clever and good for the Egyptian intelligence but I don't know about the legal point of view

Another thing won't Canada scream about its spy citizen ?? as he got the Canadian citizenship !!!

You know that traitor is not the first one to offer his services to work against his country and people as in the official statement they said that he offered his services to the Israeli Embassy ;before him there was the famous case of the spy that worked after 1967 for Israel in Alexandria's harbor I guess his name was "Gaber" ,it was turned to a movie starting "Noor El-Sherif" and "Norah"

The Names of the other Israeli Intelligence officers which are wanted in the care are the following

  • "Daniel Levy" and his nickname is "Avi" and he is in Turkey
  • "Kamal Kobsha" got two citizenship Turkish and Israeli ,and he is in Canada
  • "Tongay Bobay" ,his nickname is "Daniel" got 2 citizenship also Turkish and Israeli ,he is also in Canada

of course those guys we won't see them as I referred ,I don't know even why they bothered and put their names , may be they want to expose them ,you know the kind of making them useless in Canada and Turkish, their cover is no longer useful

Look I was angry because of the inside Security issue in Egypt and the police scandal ,but thank God 1000 times that we got other kind of security to protect us and Egypt , I hate treason , this guy had no reason what so ever and don't give me the nonsense of human rights and that the torture in Egyptian Jails and Canada will scream for their citizen , well he deserved ,already he is one big fat liar , I don't know but he is talented in lying I mean a  Muslim Egyptian goes to Canada as Egypt Christian , socialize with the Egyptian community there and of course the Christian Egyptian and it is big one with all the sensitivity ,and then returned back to Egypt , that guy could have been like Levy Cohen if he wasn't arrested as soon as his dirty foot touch the kind soil of the protected Egypt

May Allah bless the Egyptian intelligence and make its men awake to see any danger coming to us

From Nile News in Arabic ,wow this news is really developed.this is the official news source as the Nile News channel is owned by the state unfortunately it is in Arabic as I hinted before ,yet the translation you find it in my version of the story

From Filbalad.com in Arabic.

From Y Net News from Israel ,man it is interesting to read the news in an Israeli newspaper ,despite it is taken from Reuters and AP without no further details or comments or anything despite it was in FrontPage when I found it

Ha'atrz got more information than Ynet check it also the news is on the front page
