11:40 am
a decisive battle for syria as in the entire middle east there was an active redistribution of the spheres of influence between the west and the warsaw pact countries serious to the pot being some kind of tug of war between the sides and coups followed one after another in quick succession and there was even a joke at the u.s.s.r. defense ministries main intelligence directorate the number of coups in syria is and plus one meaning that no one knew when the next 2 would happen. in much $963.00 the baath party came to power and syria ultimately became a soviet ally it was partially a victory of soviet intelligence. but it set up so says the visitor to know what. you do so i would the society's i'm a bit into pneumonia but i have that sloth and that's a huge in the e.u. dismay at the smith meeting in your.

city gate wasn't only a trial when he came to damascus with his father leonid medved go officially a task journalist an officially. a soviet intelligence operatives it was his father a soviet spy from whom he got his 1st knowledge about syria it's now possible to speak publicly about it i mean. anybody approach of i mean to be opposed to put on say i'm going to. buy the movie. at the 1000000000. however syria did not give up on the blessings of western civilization that is clearly seen in bonnie's lukins footage there were american british and french cars on the streets of damascus driven by diplomats as well as spies and military specialists serviette military specialists are a special cost not only were all of them highly experienced but they've also repeatedly proven themselves trustworthy they would know on returning all of

11:43 am
and the 70s moved a little but signal offices were of particular value buddies lukian worked in an area that turned out to be. quite vulnerable for syria. now it's hard to tell how much he was involved in u.s.s.r. intelligence operations but it's perfectly clear that he was around the soviet spies and was proficiency in transmit a signal into sections of a list who do but she's been sentenced the e-mail me see the data. of bullets you could go to. with them plenty of was the point that i will accept that i did ski to some of us all this that i do it's your thinking it he didn't got that of course a lie cohen tried to be as discreet as possible but at the same time there was an undeniably dead devil spirit about him he lived in damascus under an alias and believed that he could afford not to be ashamed of od the marines or acquaintances
11:44 am
we mean delist. bloods at blue to. the post of us to chill it come. out of a specific but ups community oh you i'd say it's over them is i live but cities east seen here and you go to india and the seas can gently exceed. guth. given that when you look at east you nor your list of cattle in the us it was at the top skinny of the total newbie you. know even the flip them yes she does the police chose to seek the. caress even got the photos she was about he had seen him slip of only one who could have well. sealed the deal. he had begun to trade his powers to the offices of senior syrian officials back in faraway argentina cohen relied on a syrian military attack amin fans he'd made friends with him in buenos aires in
11:45 am
the wake of the match 963 revolution this man returned to his homeland and became president of syria cohen was rushed to. i can't show you my face but i'm going to teach you my story in 1993 this man was sentenced to death. they could charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with his son of a $23.00. armed out that had to be. confined within 4 gray walls he'd find it seems it. turned all to help him to leave dennis room. because there's a survival guide up stacy just like all the stores simply have to travel all the

11:47 am
emotional because and. continue to grow what got good at the statistical good i used to keep going to assume you don't believe is true. cohen was close to the highest authorities of syria as evidenced by this famous picture of him standing on the roof of the prime minister's residence one more could best speech would have been yeah yeah but that was a good start you can use them about all in the almost done just that 7 but he didn't consider probably no other spy in the world had reached such heights. there was yet another job that israel's mossad tossed in lycoming with to expose and eliminate german war criminals. after world war 2 they fled europe and settled in the usa canada great britain and the middle east syria in particular. just to show that because there's a booming one your story. of what ups community nobody of the bush agenda below

the assassination attempt failed something went wrong there was only a small part. of the below him yet. so much so that some say that this particular mission brought the mossad agent in damascus eli cohen under the close scrutiny of the syrian counterintelligence service at least one of the clues pointed to him but there was no direct evidence tying him to the attempt as the right of america he was arrested before the end of $963.00 in damascus on charges of spying for west germany even though he was a fierce opponent of israel which made him a friend of syria but the western blocks interests ran counter to the official position of damascus which was seeking or approach went with the u.s.s. . cole was later released on medical grounds and he voluntarily surrendered to the g.'s of the federal republic of germany
11:52 am
a soviet officer signalman buddies lukens told this intricately woven plot on unraveling while he was stationed in syria. the center of damascus was where all our protagonist screwed run into each other at some point and considering they lived there for about 3 years there's a very good chance that it indeed happened. actually the own town was where bodies lukin used most of his 8 millimeter films dog. and then one. but he's lucky and turned his camera on and he is who in court let's see it in slow motion. and again. business woman a star a good at the over here and will. be the millionaire. that i was going to screw into the movie instill in them of us so we could have. that on the court

11:55 am
doesn't go in your book opposed to sammy but you're going to. see kind of. souza the whether or not you're going to something similar to cisco that mr their shoes are. just the studio soldiers and several plain clothes men entered cohen's apartment right when he was using a radio to transmit some messages to tel aviv cohen was caught red handed. he was a sickly in this book. about who do in your gut or a gorilla based on the publicity. sysco so he was a. loser got to the british c.d.'s an image that nothing you can store nikki. giovanni they seem. easy. on you putting snow boots the only now should do did. that idea. go wrong was sentenced to
