- Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon on Thursday
rejected a report published by the German newspaper Die Zeit, according
to which Israeli Mossad agents tracked the perpetrators of the September
11 terror attacks for an extended period of time, and passed over information
on them to the CIA and the U.S. administration.
-
- Ayalon said in an interview on Army Radio that there
were no Mossad agents operating in the United States.
-
- According to the Die Zeit report, which is to be published
Friday, the CIA ignored the information on the terrorists and deported
the Mossad agents.
-
- The agents rented an apartment in Florida in December
2000, close to the apartments of Mohammed Atta and Marwan al Shehhi, both
of whom were aboard the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center.
-
- According to the paper, the agents followed Atta and
al Shehhi, discovered that they were taking flying lessons at the Florida
Airman flight school and passed the information on to the U.S. administration.
