Spy Report : A new nuke spy in Egypt

It has been announced on today the 17th of April 2007 in that stormy sandy day full of news here and there . At first I read it in Al-Jazeera after my dear friend Aardvark told me about  in the previous post comment than I found it every where in Filbalad ,in Yahoo! ,in BBC and in all Israeli newspapers like Ynet News ,Jpost and Haaretz
It is all over the globe and I think it will cause more and more buzz than the famous Al-Attar case ,well of course inside because our new man spy this time doesn't have another foreign passport like Al-Attar
In the morning The Prosecutor Hisham Badawy from the national state high court made conference revealing about the case and here is a quick summary
The Egyptian National security aka Egyptian intelligence arrested an Egyptian national working as an engineer at the National atomic energy agency called Muhammad Sayed Saber Ali, a 35 years old on the 18th of February 2007 in Cairo airport when he was coming back from Honk Kong
The prosecutor also announced that two foreigners are wanted to be arrested in the case
The first one is an Irish called Brian Peter
The second is a Japanese called Shiro Izo
I guess now it is time to say sorry for what I said or considered before that this case won't cause an international buzz as it seems it will cause so for the existence of an Irish man and a Japanese .
The alleged spy was arrested on the 18th of February and he was detained all that time yet it wasn't announced except today till the investigation was completed.
According to what was announced today
Dr. Mohamed Sayed Saber Ali was graduated from the faculty of Nuclear engineering in the University of Alexandria in year 1994 and after the graduation he joined the faculty of computers in Cairo University in 1997 and had a Diploma in the physics of nuclear sciences from the University of Cairo in 1999
He worked in the National Nuclear agency in 1997 yet had some problems with his bosses there that made him take a leave without salary, tonight in the national TV the head of the agency confirmed this without referring to the problems , just a leave to comfort the viewers that he wasn't working in the agency.
In May 1999 he went to the embassy of Israel in order to take a visa , he wanted to go there in order to have a scholarship in Ben Gourian University to study in the Nuclear reactors field as I read , to tell you the truth I don't get the scholarship thing ,I mean it is like begging to study for free !! plus if he wanted for a cheap but excellent study in the nuclear field ,he would go to Eastern Europe countries, he would not to goto a country like Israel considered as the main enemy according to the people
Anyhow after his visit to the Israeli embassy he was called by the Egyptian intelligence "they didn't say it directly but I understand the word of high  security entity" , they warned him from the dangers of going there especially for a young man in his field.
After several year he went to work in Saudi Arabia in the faculty of "Teachers and Science" as a researcher "I am not sure from his position yet"
During that time he uploaded his resume online in order to find a job .
After 5 years that was in 2005 he found an Irish man called Brian Peter calling him about a job vacancy in an multinational corporation working in the field of Space research in Japan , he wanted him to travel there but it didn't work and instead the place of meeting was shifted to Honk Kong , where he met Brian and also he met a Japanese man called Shiro Izo who introduced himself as the human resources manager in that corporation
They requested from him information about the agency of Atomic energy , its activities ,information about its head and the reports about the nuclear reactors in "Anshas", they wanted to know the problems the two reactors are facing and the inspection rate of visits from of the IAEA , all that for $3000 per month and of course the man agreed.During his stay in Honk Kong , he was given $2000 as pocket money , they brought to him lots of women and they asked him to cut off his leave and return back to his old job in Egypt , already the information they asked needed to be updated
Of course anyone would suspect about the kind of the information they wanted , especially when you know that this multinational company is working in the Space research field , I don't know what is the relation between the Space research field and the nuclear field !! pardon me for my ignorance but I promise I will search to know the relation.
Of course a man in his intelligence level knew they were from the Mossad , they didn't have to tell him that they were cousins
Anyhow He returned back to Egypt and to his old job and in December 2006 he managed to steal some important confidential documents and a very important documents about the "Anshas" nuclear reactors , he went to Honk Kong to deliver them and to get a reward that was equal to $17,000
In his last visit for Honk Kong in February 2007 he was given a special laptop which has a special hacking software to be implanted in the computers of the Egyptian Atomic agency.
They also gave a special email with a special password to communicate through it
He returned back to Egypt on last 18th of February to be arrested in Cairo airport
He is married and lives in 16 "El-Tyser" street in Faisal populated area in Al-Ahram with his wife who didn't and doesn't want to talk to media and I can understand her reasons.
From another side Israel as expected denied the allegations and accused Egypt of making up the whole thing
I am waiting to know more about the incident as today we had a very big sand storm that nearly was going to kill me as I am very sensitive to dust
This is just the beginning , ironically today I had some updates about El-Attar !!

  2. @ Zenobia I wish that gy was realy a spy! Because this would mean that Egyptian nuclar programme was/is not totaally dead.

    Non the less i doubt it. It is a well known fact that in terms of human resources Egypt posesses a very strong base. Egyptian nuclear experts are scattered all over the world, for example the ambitious and advanced Iraqi project was started by Egyptians in the begining.

    Also instutional capacity and research infrastructure in Egypt is capable of gettting along with advanced nuclear projects.

    The reasons our Nuclear programmes are ino the fridge is:

    a weak service based economy that is dependent on tourism, foreign aids and parasitic activities- which n turn wouldn't be able to stand up to international pressure.

    lack of a strong national independent political will despite of the great wisdom and patriotism of president Moubarak:).

    Moreover that guys who was arested seems to be a minor researcher , not the sort of guy who have access to top secret issues. Also he applied for a scholarship i TEL-Aviv, SO there happened to be even a slight probablity that he would have access to calssified information, intelligence would have dealt with him back then.


    Besides, the Egyptian programme started in 1961 and went into the fridge after 1967. Therefore i really doubt there is something worth spyin on in it

    For all the above mentioned factors combined i find myself inclined to believe that the whole thing is smoke and mirrors to work off the boiling anger among Egyptians recently.

  3. The Counter-Intelligence System deteriorated into a [Farting Dog] level....

    The pathetic loosely knetted story reminds me of the cheap suspense comics [Al-Rajol Al-Mustaheel] heroism against the malicious Mussad & Co's, thank Allah i thew all of them away long time ago....

    what makes me angry is that they expect us to swallow their shet!!!,

    [And the man applied for a scolarship in Tel Aviv, 7'7'??]

  5. I read your article and wondered if you wouldn't mind posting this comment. I am a journalist working on this story and would very much like to hear from anybody who knows anything about the Brian Peter character, who is said to be an Irish citizen and Mr Ali's "handler".
    Thanks in advance for your time.
