Iraqi security forces have arrested two individuals on charges of affiliation to the Israeli Mossad spy agency and suspected collaboration with other foreign intelligence services, a source with knowledge of the matter says.
The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Kurdish-language Rudaw television news network on Tuesday that the two people were captured following surveillance operations, and are now undergoing police interrogations.
Thorough investigations have exposed their involvement in a spy cell active in more than one Iraqi province, and that they are suspected of communicating with several foreign intelligence agencies, the source added.
According to the source, relevant authorities are currently pursuing a number of suspects linked to the cell, including individuals operating secretly within Iraqi territory.
Last November, an Israeli settler captured by Iraqi security forces admitted to have worked for the Israeli and American spy agencies, Mossad and the CIA, both in Iraq and Syria.
In a video aired by Iraq's Al Rabiaa satellite TV network at the time, Elizabeth Tsurkov said in Hebrew that she was tasked with establishing ties between the Tel Aviv regime and the US-backed militant group Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
She also confessed to her role in coordinating the October 2019 demonstrations in Iraq to sow strife among Shias in the Arab country.
