Title: Son of Hamas founder spied for Israel
Post by: bijou on February 24, 2010, 10:26:30 AM

The son of a Hamas founder served as a spy for Israel's Shin Bet security service, Haaretz reported.

Mosab Hassan Yousef served for more than a decade as the Shin Bet's most valuable source on Hamas. He converted to Christianity 10 years ago and left the West Bank in 2007 for California, where he now lives.

Yousef, 32, is the son of Sheik Hassan Yousef, a Hamas leader in the West Bank.

His intelligence, under the moniker of "The Green Prince," led to the prevention of dozens of suicide bombing attacks and assassination attempts on Israeli officials, and the exposing of several terrorist cells, Haaretz reported Wednesday.

"Son of Hamas," a book written by Yousef and Rob Brackin, will be released next week in the United States. ...

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a food taster, and a significant security detail.
