Imagine if this was an Iranian spy! Bombs would be dropping on Iran…
New documents presented in federal court in Washington, D.C. reveal deep ties (more than was known) between Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Dr. Stewart David Nozette, an American astronomer accused of spying for Israel.
The media here covered his arrest on October 19, 2009 and then interest waned, though the American media are still monitoring the case.
Two attorneys in the counterespionage unit of the U.S. Department’s of Justice National Security division, Deborah Curtis and Heather Schmidt, presented documents found on the scientist’s computer. One document, titled “Proposed Operations for 2005-2006,” referred to the need to carry out “a penetration of NASA,” the U.S. space agency.
Another document, according to the prosecution, shows Nozette attempted to obtain highly confidential material by using his high-level security clearance and infiltrating other people’s computers.
Other documents mention the names of Yossi Weiss and Yossi Fishman. Weiss is a former project manager and today the deputy CEO of IAI and head of the company’s missile and space division. Fishman was the IAI’s representative in the U.S. and is today the CEO of ODF Optronics.
Fishman told Haaretz he knew Nozette the way he knew other Americans employed by the IAI at the time as consultants. “We did not engage in any kind of spying activity or information gathering, perish the thought. The relationship was business as usual.”
