The Israeli Mossad agent Zev Barkan has been running Asian criminal gangs used to obtain Australian Identity documents and other passports stolen from Australians Killed in Asia, a New Zealand security official has said.
I was contacted by a New Zealand official, who has intelligence connections in Asia while I was shopping in Toul Tom Pong Market in Phnom Penh and provided documents to support this information on the condition that it remain anonymous and I not publish the documents considering the risk to officials if the source of this leak was identified, this New Zealand official said Barkan was connected to an Israeli terrorist cell operating out of Thailand.
"He goes to Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Thailand and is running gangs that he pays to kill tourists, and steal their Identity papers passports then cover it up, most just disappear or their deaths have been reported as accidents, drownings and such, they like to throw their victims off the side of tour boats" said a New Zealand security official
Barkan has been named by New Zealand authorities as the kingpin in a passport theft ring for which two Israelis with Australian links were jailed for six months last week in Auckland.
One of the jailed men, Eli Cara, 50, had his rented home in Turramurra raided by ASIO in March. A short time later, he was arrested in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Government has named Barkan, Cara and the other convicted man, Uriel Kelman, as Mossad agents.
Barkan fled New Zealand before police moved in. There are reports that Barkan, using a Stolen Canadian Identity documents, has now made a move to North Korea out of reach of authorities.
"Barkan is mostly interested in passports and identity documents, there have been a number of Australian killed for their passports."
Intelligence analysts in New Zealand believe Barkan, a former navy diver in the Israeli IOF, was trying to secure a clean passports for use in Israeli terrorist operations in the region.
Barkan had grown up in Washington as Zev Bruckenstein, where his father was director of religious studies at a synagogue.
A New Zealand security official says his services have uncovered an Israeli operation to create al-Qaeda cells in Thailand. The security official in Thailand said Israeli terrorist are posing as operatives of al-Qaeda.
Over the past nine months we have been investigating eight cases, 11 people informed us of this Israeli operation, asking Thai Landers to join al-Qaeda. One email had even been signed by the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden. a New Zealand official said.
A New Zealand official said his services had traced back to Israel the phone calls and emails - purportedly from Germany and Lebanon and Pakistan.
We investigated the origin of those calls and found out they all came from Israel.
The people the Israelis tried to recruit were then given stolen Australian documents, and received money and weapons.
The money was provided by Israel directly to the recruits or was transferred from bank accounts in Jerusalem or Israel, said the New Zealand official.

If mossad needed (and they certainly do) fake passports, there are far better ways than murdering passport holders and using their identities. With 'deceased' written large over many security and lesser comp. files, how the hell can these pasports be valuable or even usable?
A story so easily discredited serves only the interest of those trying to bury other info or to plant disinfo.
Now who could that be?

your lips like a jack-ass
The way I read the article it stated
"Steal their Identity papers passports
Then cover it up, most just disappear"
it seems they mossad are 'disappearing people'
Assuming their identities this is very
Plausible operation these mossad animals
Probably stalk their intended victims and chose
the ones that have the profile these parasites
Need like the disabled fellow in NZ,
But in the Asian Cases they are targeting people
that can be Disappeared without being missed.

No email.
A not very likely story, given the events in NZ.
This is an attempt to divert.
Mossad are well known for assuming the identities of people - usually living. In the so called 'invisible prison' (detention centre 1391 - from memory) the unfortunate victims are kept on standby for possible further deception & information retrival.
These cases involve almost exclusivly arabs, usually palestinians.
This little snippet of info, unaccompanied as it is by any hard facts, can only discredit serious investigation and reporting of the very real crimes that the israeli ruling powers indulge in - especially the treatment of detainees & the use of counter intelligence measures against their so called allies.
Get real.

Israeli in NZ passport case worked for government
Thu 22 July, 2004 09:19
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A mysterious Israeli man at the centre of a passport fraud case that has strained relations between New Zealand and Israel, worked for the Israeli government for 10 years, a television network has reported.
Two suspected Israeli spies, Uriel Zoshe Kelman and Eli Cara, were sentenced last week to six months in prison after pleading guilty to trying to obtain a New Zealand passport by fraud.
They have lodged an appeal against their conviction.
Police are still hunting for a third man, Zev William Barkan, who the defence pinpointed as the mastermind behind the operation but who left New Zealand before he could be arrested.
Barkan, who applied for a passport under the name of a wheelchair-bound Auckland man, worked as an attache at Israel's embassy in Austria from 1996 to 2001, One News network said, citing information from the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He was also believed to have been a diplomat in Belgium, and had worked for the Israeli foreign ministry for 10 years, the network said.
"That is direct evidence that this is Israeli state involvement, whether Mossad or the diplomatic corps," Professor Ralph Pettman of Wellington's Victoria University said.
New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Phil Goff confirmed that Barkan was an employee of the Israeli foreign service "for a period of time".
"We expect an explanation (from Israel), an accounting of what the people were involved with, and an assurance that this sort of thing won't happen again," Goff said.
The two men were arrested in March after police secretly followed them as they were arranging to pick up the passport.
Police are reportedly also searching for two other people involved in the case.
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark has suspended all high-level contacts with Israel as a result. Israel has no direct diplomatic presence in New Zealand, with the closest embassy in Canberra.
The government has said there were "very strong reasons" to suspect the two jailed men were acting on behalf of Israel's intelligence services, without producing eviden
