Israel Flagged as Top Spy Threat to U.S. in New Snowden/NSA Document
By Jeff Stein
Israel was singled out in 2007 as a top espionage
threat against the U.S. government, including its intelligence
services, in a newly published National Security Agency (NSA) document
obtained by fugitive leaker Edward Snowden, according to a news report
Monday.
The document also identified Israel, along with North
Korea, Cuba and India, as a “leading threat” to the infrastructure of
U.S. financial and banking institutions.
The threats were listed in the NSA’s 2007 Strategic Mission
List, according to the document obtained by journalist/activist Glenn
Greenwald, a founding editor of The Intercept,
an online magazine that has a close relationship with Snowden, a former
NSA and CIA contractor who fled the U.S. with thousands of top-secret
documents last year.http://www.newsweek.com/israel-flagged-top-spy-threat-us-new-snowdennsa-document-262991
