Russia denies recovering remains of Israeli spy Cohen
Russia's Foreign Ministry has strongly rejected Israeli media reports claiming that Russian officials have taken the remains of legendary Israeli spy Eli Cohen out of Syria, where he was executed more than five decades ago.
Cohen infiltrated the top echelons of Syria's leadership in the early 1960s and obtained top-secret intelligence before he was caught and publicly executed in 1965.
Israeli media reported earlier this week that a Russian delegation took Cohen's remains out of Syria.
