An 18-country network codenamed "Kilowatt" reportedly gave Israeli agents information on Palestinians, some of whom were assassinated in Europe.
The United States, the United Kingdom, France, West Germany and other Western countries gave Israel information that helped its Mossad intelligence agency track down and kill Palestinian terrorists in the 1970s, The Guardian reported on Wednesday, relying on what it said were newly declassified documents.
The information was shared through a network of intelligence agencies codenamed “Kilowatt,” according to the report. It did not indicate the source of the declassified documents, which according to the report were discovered in encrypted cables found in Swiss archives.
According to Aviva Guttmann, a historian of strategy and intelligence at Aberystwyth University who according to The Guardian discovered the documents, Italy and Switzerland were also part of the Kilowatt network, which included 18 countries.
