(WMR) -- Israeli
mall kiosk vendors, identified by the National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S.
counter-intelligence agencies as part of an Israeli intelligence-gathering
operation in the United States, have started to abandon their kiosks in malls
across the United States, according to information received by WMR.
In particular, kiosks that sell Israeli Dead Sea skin care
products have recently been vacated by young Israeli nationals at the Arundel
Mills Mall in Hanover, Maryland, and at malls in the Philadelphia area. The
kiosks have been emptied of their products and have been vacated, according to
our sources.
In the past, Israeli mall kiosks sold products ranging from
toys to ear jewelry.
NSA security warned NSA employees that the Israeli-owned
kiosk at the nearby Columbia, Maryland, mall should be avoided by NSA personnel
as NSA intercepts determined the kiosks are affiliated with Israeli
intelligence-gathering operations in the United States.
