The CIA station chief opened the locked box containing the
sensitive equipment he used from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel, to
communicate with CIA headquarters in Virginia, only to find that someone
had tampered with it. He sent word to his superiors about the break-in.
The incident, described to the Associated Press by three former senior
U.S. intelligence officials, might have been dismissed as just another
cloak-and-dagger incident in the world of international espionage,
except that the same thing had happened to the previous station chief in
Israel.
It was a not-so-subtle reminder that, even in a country friendly to the United States, the CIA was itself being watched.
