Germany’s BND foreign intelligence agency has issued German passports for Israel’s Mossad secret service, the daily Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger quoted a former high-ranking BND member as saying on Saturday.
According to the official, Mossad agents are using German passports during their covert operations in Middle Eastern countries. At the moment, according to the paper’s sources, the Mossad uses the German passports for missions in Iran in preparation of an air attack.

Reacting to the news report, an unidentified BND spokesman said, “Of course we also have a cooperation with Mossad. However we are not commenting on any documents which might have been forwarded.” The number of issued German passports for Mossad operatives has reportedlyincreased dramatically since September 11, 2001.
