Egyptian Authorities have announced that they have detained an Egyptian engineer from the country’s nuclear energy agency for allegedly spying for Israel. The State security prosecutor declared that two foreigners, one Japanese and one Irish, were wanted in connection with the case but remained at large.
The Egyptians have identified the engineer as Mohammed Sayed Saber, 35, stole “important documents” from the Atomic Energy Agency and passed it on to agents of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service in return for $17,000.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mark Regev dismissed the news. “We’ve heard about this from the media. These sort of charges unfortunately appear all too often in the Egyptian media and they always prove to be baseless,” he said.

The Egyptian media reads like a comic book.
Yeah, Huh, an Irish and Japenese spying for Israel.
But then again only a Jew State would pay a mere fee of $17,000.
