Amdocs exec questioned in industrial espionage affair
The police say they have enough evidence to indict the private investigators who have been arrested.
Noam Sharvit 31 May 05 13:11
This morning, Aryeh Zeiff, CEO of cigarette company Dubek, filed a complaint at the fraud division of the Israel Police Tel Aviv district, claiming that his company had fallen victim to monitoring by an unknown party. Zeiff had a computer with him, on which he said Trojan Horse spyware had been installed. He said the investigators had asked him to bring the computer for inspection.
The march of people giving testimony to the fraud division, both complainants and those being questioned, will continue today. Managers of several companies suspected of commissioning industrial espionage were due to present themselves to the police this morning. A senior manager with responsibility for security at Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), Eitan Shiron, has been questioned under caution. Amdocs is suspected of spying on "Globes" journalist Gitit Pincas, who used to cover the company.
Yesterday, Amdocs confirmed that it hired a private investigation agency to help it stop leaks of information to outside organizations, but the company denied that it had infiltrated computers at "Globes", and claimed that it had explicitly instructed the investigation agency that it must act within the law.
Last night, the police took away the computer used by Pincas at Globes, after a Trojan horse was found on it. It is suspected that Pincas's home computer was also infiltrated, but because its hard disk had recently been re-formatted, no Trojan horse was found on it.
The police investigators believe that Pincas came under surveillance when she covered Wall Street at "Ha'aretz's" business section "The Marker". Certain articles Pincas published about Amdocs apparently aroused the company's ire, and it started a comprehensive internal investigation to find her sources. Amdocs warned its employees about leaking information, and even forced some managers to undergo polygraph tests.
The threats and polygraph tests failed to reveal anything. It is alleged that Amdocs then tried other methods to uncover Pincas's sources. About a year ago, Pincas left The Marker to work at Globes, and the surveillance of her continued until last week.

Certainly your conspiracy theory is the only reasonable explanation for a computer having a trojan horse. After all, they are so rare that computers just never get them.

Last week, the Justice Department issued a new indictment of Lawrence
Franklin, the Pentagonofficial accused of passing secrets to officials of AIPAC, the pro- Israel lobbying outfit. The indictment is bad news for the Bush White House and Karl Rove.
That's not only because the Franklin case is embarrassing for the
administration, the Pentagon, and their neocon allies. (Franklin worked
with Douglas Feith, who until recently was a senior Pentagon official
close to the neocons.) The Franklin indictment is a sign that Rove and any other White House aide involved in the Plame/
CIAleak might be vulnerable to prosecution under the Espionage Act.
Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald--who is not involved in the Franklin
prosecution--has not had to state publicly what sort of case he is trying
to build in the Plame/CIA leak matter. The most obvious one would be based on the charge that the leaker violated the Intelligence Identities
Protection Act. But that law was narrowly drawn, and to win a conviction
Fitzgerald would have to prove that Rove or any other leaker knew that
Valerie Wilson was working under cover at the CIA. There are, however,
other laws under which Fitzgerald might charge the CIA/Plame leakers. The Franklin indictment points the way. (And criminal law aside, by sharing classified information with at least two reporters--Valerie Wilson's employment at the CIA was classified--Rove committed an offense that
violated various rules and would get most government workers seriously
punished or dismissed.)
The Franklin indictments notes:
On or about December 8, 1999, FRANKLIN signed a Classified Information
Nondisclosure Agreement, a Standard Form 312 (SF-312). In that document
FRANKLIN acknowledged that he was aware that the unauthorized disclosure
of classified information by him could cause irreparable injury to the
United States or could be used to advantage by a foreign nation and that
he would never divulge classified information to an unauthorized person.
He further acknowledged that he would never divulge classified information
unless he had officially verified that the recipient was authorized by the
United States to receive it. Additionally, he agreed that if he was
uncertain about the classification status of information, he was required
to confirm from an authorized official that the information is
unclassified before he could disclose it.
Yet, the indictment alleges, Franklin passed classified information to
Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, two senior AIPAC officials. And the
indictment claims Rosen and Weissman shared this information with Israel.
Consequently, the indictment charges Franklin, Rosen and Weissman with
"conspiracy to communicate National Defense Information under sections
793(d) and 793(e) of Title 18, United States Code. And Franklin was
charged with three counts of "communication of National Defense
Information"--not conspiracy--under section 793(d). He was also charged
with one count of "conspiracy to communicate classified information" to a
foreign government.
Let's look at sections 793(d) and (e). The first generally applies to
government officials, the second to nongovernment officials. Both sections
make it a crime to transmit national defense information--and the identity
of an undercover CIA officer would probably count as national defense
information--to a person unauthorized to receive it (such as a reporter).
These sections define violators as
(d) Whoever, lawfully having possession of, access to, control over, or
being entrusted with any document, writing, code book, signal book,
sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model,
instrument, appliance, or note relating to the national defense, or
information relating to the national defense which information the
possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United
States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates,
delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or
transmitted or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be
communicated, delivered or transmitted the same to any person not entitled
to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it on
demand to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive
it.
(e) Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over
any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph,
photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance,
or note relating to the national defense, or information relating to the
national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe
could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of
any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes
to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate,
deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted
the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains
the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United
States entitled to receive it. [Emphasis added.]
Rove, like Franklin, had to sign SF-312. As Rep. Henry Waxman (news, bio,
voting record) noted in a short report he released on the Rove leak, this
nondisclosure agreement states, "I will never divulge classified
information to anyone" unauthorized to receive such information. Rove
broke that vow. And Executive Order 12958--which Bush updated on March 25,
2003-- says that "officers and employees of the United States
Government...shall be subject to appropriate sanctions if they knowingly,
willfully, or negligently...disclose to unauthorized persons information
properly classified." The sanctions include "reprimand, suspension without
pay, removal, termination of classification authority, loss or denial of
access to classified information, or other sanctions." So Rove ought to be
slapped with one of those punishments.
But worse for Rove--from a legal perspective--is section 793. Rove did
communicate classified information which could be used "to the injury of
the United States" to a person "not entitled to receive it." The
information was the identity of an undercover intelligence official
working on anti-WMD operations. Such information could be used to thwart
or undermine past or present CIA operations and assets connected to
Valerie Wilson. The persons "not entitled" to received this info were
Robert Novak and Matt Cooper (and perhaps there were more).
I am--as I've said before--no lawyer. But given the letter of the law in
section 793, it seems to me there is a case to be made that Rove
essentially did what Franklin did. There may be a difference in intent or
awareness. Perhaps Rove did not know he was passing on classified
information that could be used to the detriment of the United States
(though he should have realized that had he given the matter a moment or
two of thought), and it seems that Franklin had to know he was sharing
classified material with outsiders. But section 793 does not say a
violator must be aware he or she is passing on information that could
cause harm to the United States if exposed. It only sets as a criterion
that the violator "willfully" communicates this information. I assume that
means a purely accidental slip of the lip would not be a crime. But
Rove--who told at least two reporters about Valerie Wilson's CIA
position--cannot argue he was not "willfully" communicating this
information to others.
So might Fitzgerald have a case under section 793? Journalists don't like
these sorts of prosecutions, for it brings us close to an official secrets
act (like the one that exists in Britain). If prosecutors chased after
government leakers--say those who leaked intelligence showing that the
White House's case for war in Iraq was weak--the public would suffer.
And the Justice Department's indictment of Rosen and
Weissman--nongovernment officials--for passing along classified
information is also worrisome for reporters who pass along classified
information by publishing and airing stories that contain secret
information. But Fitzgerald has certainly demonstrated he's not too
concerned about pursuing legal cases and setting legal precedents that are
bad for journalism. And that's why Rove ought to be sweating the Franklin
indictment.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/02/26/national/main502203.shtml
Flight 93 Remains Returned
SOMERSET, Pa., Feb. 26, 2002
Flight 93, bound from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco, was one of four planes hijacked on the day of terror that saw the World Trade Center and the Pentagon struck.
(AP) The remains and belongings of 40 people who died when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a western Pennsylvania field Sept. 11 will be returned to their survivors, the county coroner said.
The remains of all but the plane's four hijackers will be placed into caskets. The first sets of remains were shipped Monday and the rest will be delivered when the victims' survivors are contacted, Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller said.
"Everybody's concerned about remains that they can have a memorial for," Miller said.
Officials identified remains through fingerprints, dental records and DNA. They had been stored at a temporary morgue in Somerset.
The hijackers' remains will stay in the county, Miller said, and may eventually be turned over to FBI investigators.
Relatives of most of the victims of the Sept. 11 crash met with Miller on Saturday at an Iselin, N.J., hotel to discuss what to do with the remains and personal effects.
Flight 93, bound from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco, was one of four planes hijacked on the day of terror that saw the World Trade Center and the Pentagon struck. Some passengers made phone calls indicating they were going to fight off the terrorists. All 44 people were killed when the plane - believed by officials to have been headed for a Washington, D.C., target - went down in a field about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
About 400 volunteers searched the crash site, but Miller said he isn't sure that all remains have been recovered. Officials may search the site again in the spring, he said.
The crash site, which is now guarded by county deputies, could become a national memorial, said Susan Hankinson, the county's coordinator of post-crash affairs. | | | | Alpha | | Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 2:07 am Post subject: Bogus Israeli Moving Co - Israeli Intel - Back In US? |
| Bogus Israeli Moving Co -
Israeli Intel - Back In US?
By Wayne Madsen
9-14-5
Is Urban Moving Systems chief back in US? There are indications that Israeli national Dominik Suter, the former head of Urban Moving Systems in Weehawken, NJ is back in the United States, this time in south Florida and may be using his actual name. Suter ran the Weehawken, NJ-based moving company on 9-11 when a number of Urban Moving Systems vans were spotted around north Jersey before and after the hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center. One Urban Moving van was seen at Liberty State Park in Jersey City as the first plane hit the towers. The five occupants, all Israeli nationals, were seen videotaping and celebrating the attack and were dressed in Arab clothing. The five were later arrested near Giant Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. One of the Israelis told police they were at Liberty State Park to "document the event."
After the Israelis were detained for several months in Brooklyn as terrorist suspects, they were quickly deported to Israel. After the FBI questioned Suter on September 11, he fled the United States on September 14, 2001. The FBI was due to question Suter again before he fled the country. Later, Federal law enforcement agents discovered pipes, caps, explosive chemical materials, and traces of anthrax at the Weehawken warehouse. Suter's name and those of some of his moving employees turned up in a CIA database of foreign intelligence agents. Suter's name also appeared on an FBI 9-11 terrorism suspect list. Suter's year of birth is listed as 1970 with a social security number of 129-78-0926. His addresses before 9-11 are listed as 28 Harlow Crescent Rd., Fairlawn, NJ 07410; 312 Pavonia Ave., Jersey City, NJ 07302; and 15000 Dickens, Suite 11, Sherman Oaks CA. If Suter has been permitted to re-enter the United States, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security and its chief Michael Chertoff have a lot of explaining to do.

| FBI evidence of Mossad involvement in September 11 attacks on the U.S.?!
1/6/2006 9:49:00 AM GMT
Aljazeera 1-20-06
On the day of the September 11, 2001 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked how they could affect Israeli-U.S. relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)".
An article by reporter Jim Galloway, published on The Austin American-Statesman on Nov. 25, 2001, stated that the FBI had evidence suggesting that the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence, along with some rogue American and foreign spy agencies, may be deeply involved in or even entirely responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks as well as other acts of terrorism against the United States.
According to Galloway, 100 of the 1,100 foreigners arrested by the FBI for suspicion of involvement in the 9/11 attacks were Israeli Jews. In fact, a Mossad surveillance team made quite a public spectacle of themselves on the day of the attacks. Five of the Israelis were arrested after “angry witnesses had seen the five at a waterfront park in New Jersey apparently laughing and clowning, and photographing themselves in front of the burning towers." One witness told police at the time that the men “were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me.”
According to ABC's 20/20, when police stopped the cheering Israelis, one of them told the officers: "We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem”.
One of the five Israelis had a German passport in addition to his Israeli passport. Another had an international flight booked to Thailand on September 13, two days after the attacks. The FBI also found out that one of them was a former paratrooper, assigned to an elite Israeli defense forces unit.
Two more Israelis were caught in a truck on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania, near the site of the crash of American Airlines flight 93. Police became very suspicious when they found maps of the city with certain locations highlighted, box cutters (like the ones used by the hijackers), along with other incriminating evidence. Police also said that bomb sniffing dogs reacted as if they smelled explosives when they were brought to the Israelis’ truck.
The FBI believes that most of the arrested Israelis belong to an Israeli intelligence unit operating outside New Jersey, near where the Anthrax letters were mailed. They all worked for a U.S.-based company known as Urban Moving Systems.
An editorial on whatreallyhappened.com states that an FBI SWAT team raided the New Jersey warehouse of the Urban Moving Systems and confiscated a number of computer hard drives and files. It further adds that the Israeli owner of the company, Dominick Suter, closed his business days after the Sept. attacks and returned to Israel. He was in such a hurry that some of Urban Moving System's customers were left with their furniture stranded in storage facilities.
Behind closed doors, Israeli authorities were doing all what they can to get the men released and the FBI probe closed. Israeli lawmakers contacted their “friends” in the U.S. Congress, and the Mayor of Jerusalem, Ehud Ohmert personally called the New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and asked him to intervene.
An article on Power of Prophecy reported that a war brewed inside the FBI between the agents conducting the probe and their superiors, who warned that involving the Israelis in the attacks could be an "explosive political volcano." But the lower-level agents didn't buy it. They believed that the arrested Israeli Jews might just hold the key to the whole 9/11 debacle. "These Israeli guys knew what was coming down," one FBI veteran was quoted as saying. "We would be fools if we let them just fade away into the sunset and pretend they weren't involved."
It was later confirmed that the five detained Israelis were in fact Mossad agents. However, FBI and Justice Department superiors succeeded in pushing aside the local FBI agents and the Israelis were released after spending just 71 days in U.S. custody. "Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information,” a U.S. official told Fox News at the time.
The compliant mainstream media completely ignored the Israeli connection. Rather it immediately blamed OSAMA BIN LADEN even though he had no record of doing anything on this scale. On the day of the attacks, CIA Director George Tenet said "You know, this has bin Laden's fingerprints all over it."
But a number of intelligence officials have raised questions about BIN LADEN's capabilities. "This guy sits in a cave in Afghanistan and he's running this operation?" one CIA official said at the time. "It's so huge. He couldn't have done it alone."
BIN LADEN himself denied any involvement in the attacks. The BBC published his denial in which he clearly stated: "I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself…” (Most of us never heard that quote on our nightly newscast).
To date, the only shred of "evidence" against bin Laden is a barely audible fuzzy amateur video that the Pentagon just happened to find "lying around" in Afghanistan.
U.S. intelligence analysts believe that Israel benefited most from the September 11 attacks. Israel has been widely criticized by the West for its aggression against the Palestinians. Israeli occupation soldiers were, and still are, shown on international TV news in heated exchanges with Palestinian youths armed with nothing more than stones. Israeli tanks bulldoze Palestinian farms and homes, and human rights groups complain that Palestinian detainees are tortured and abused in Israeli jails.
But after 9/11, things changed dramatically. Sympathy for the Palestinians vanished. The Arabs were universally portrayed as the "bad guys." Israeli Prime Minister ARIEL SHARON reportedly said: "Now we and the Americans are in the same fight."
An article by political analyst Richard Becker published on Jan. 9, 2003 on the Workers World newspaper states that “SHARON and other Israeli leaders aspire to fulfill what the goals of the political ZIONIST movement have been since its origin a century ago: to turn all of historic Palestine into an exclusively Jewish state. A central tenet of the ZIONIST ideology is expressed in the racist slogan, 'A land without people for a people without a land.'"
The implication of the Arabs in the 9/11 attacks provided the Israelis with a golden opportunity to achieve the above-stated goals because the world would view the Palestinians as terrorists.
Blaming the horrible attacks on the Arabs was the best thing that has even happened to Israel. Now Washington, once again, solidly stands in the pro-Israeli camp, and "Palestinians be damned"
