Do they know something we don't? The Mossad is one of the main organizations affected by the Pentagon's report revealing evidence that no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, the Saudi "al-Wattan" newspaper reports Wednesday.
The newspaper says that according to a European security official, the Mossad is "angry" at certain agents that were stationed in Iraq during the U.S.-lead attack on Saddam Hussein's regime.
According to the official, U.S. troops had searched sites in accordance with Mossad
field reports, but found no unconventional weapons.
As a result, says the official, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has ordered the agents return to Israel and have them replaced with other operatives, trusted by the agency's head.
The agents removed from Iraq can no longer enter Arab countries and have been placed in office jobs in Israel or in the territories, al-Wattan says.
Contradicting reports
The newspaper "reveals" that these recent changes by Sharon are due to an 80-page Mossad report concluding accounts by field agents of Iraq's weaponry until August 2004.
The report includes a description of Iraq's unconventional military capability and a list of arsenal storage sites.
Meanwhile, the newspaper also "reveals" that Israel is not satisfied with the new field agents stationed in Iraq and has sent a new network of operatives into Syria and Iran.
