NORWAY: FURTHER REVELATIONS IN THE MOSSAD AFFAIR

FECL 04 (March 1992)

The Norwegian Minister of Justice, Kari Gjesteby has admitted that the Mossad officials who had succeeded in interviewing a number of Palestinian refugees in Norway last year by presenting themselves as "Nordic policemen" had been provided with genuine Norwegian passports by Norwegian security police (Overvakningspolitiet). The news has led to further turmoil.

Indeed, this new evidence of active collaboration between Norwegian police and the Israeli secret service had been suppressed in a government report on the affair adressed to the Storting (Norwegian Parliament).
