Israelis 'using Kurds to build power base'
Israeli military and intelligence operatives are active in Kurdish
areas of Iran, Syria and Iraq, providing training for commando units
and running covert operations that could further destabilise the
entire region, according to a report in the New Yorker magazine.
The article was written by Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize-winning
reporter who exposed the abuse scandal in Abu Ghraib. It is sourced
primarily to unnamed former and current intelligence officials in
Israel, the United States and Turkey.

military strength in order to offset the strength of the Shia
militias and to create a base in Iran from which they can spy on
Iran's suspected nuclear-making facilities.
