KUWAIT: Kuwait and other Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries have been infiltrated by foreign intelligence agencies, as well as by the Israeli Mossad, said political experts. They made their comments after Dubai Police revealed information regarding the accused Israeli intelligence agency (Mossad) of murdering Mahmoud Al-Mabhooh, a member of the Palestinian Hamas Party last month. "I believe that Israelis are penetrating the whole world, not only the Arab world or GCC countries," said Ayed Al-Manna, a
political analyst and Kuwait University professor. He added that Dubai has achieved what other countries could not; reveal Israeli infiltration.
Usually the Mossad doesn't leave any evidence of their operations. This time, thanks to the proper utilization of technology in Dubai, Mossad made the mistake of assuming their identities would never be revealed. They were proved wrong.
Ghanim Al-Najjar, a political science professor at Kuwait University, said that all the countries in the world have an intelligence presence in the GCC and everywhere else. "This is a natural thing and it is not a strange or rare thing to happen," he said.
If a country is important then there will definitely be spies of all kinds in that country. I'm sure there are Iranian and Israeli spies in Arab countries. Even Arab countries have spies inside each other," he added. Al-Najjar asserted that it is normal for one country to try and infiltrate another.
The trick lies in being agile, careful and cautious about it. "Intelligence services cooperate with each other. They have common interests and they exchange information with each other," he noted. "In recent years intelligence agencies have concentrated more on confronting terrorism, but they shouldn't overlook threats such as foreign intelligence activities," he concluded.
