Israeli agencies snagged US secrets, reports say

February 2, 1982

Intelligence agencies from Israel used blackmail, bugs, wiretaps, and bribe offers to US government employees to get intelligence and technical information, according to published reports.

The Washington Post and the Boston Globe published similar reports based on papers seized in the Iranian takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran. The papers have been reprinted in one of 13 volumes of documents published as paperback books in Iran.

The CIA had no comment on the reports.
