International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, December 6, 2004

In an exclusive report on Sunday, The Jerusalem Post claimed that the two staff members of AIPAC suspected of spying for Israel were actually set up in an FBI sting.

FBI agents apparently coerced Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin into luring the AIPAC officials who already knew him into accepting what he described to them as "classified" information on Iranian plans to take out Israeli operatives in northern Iraq.

The report suggested that David Szady, the FBI’s senior counterintelligence official, targeted AIPAC, the main Jewish pro-Israel lobby in Washington, out of jealousy for its perceived clout and extensive access to US government leaders.
