Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was a Soviet spy in Damascus in the 1980s, Israels Channel 1 television reported Wednesday, citing information it said was included in an archive smuggled out of the USSR.
According to Channel 1s foreign news editor Oren Nahari, the famed Mitrokhin archive, kept by KGB defector Vasily Mitrokhin, revealed that Abbas was a Soviet mole in Damascus in 1983.
The documents obtained by Israeli researchers Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez purportedly show that Abbas, code-named Krotov (mole), was involved with the Soviets while Mikhail Bogdanov, today Vladimir Putins envoy to the Middle East. was stationed in Damascus.
Bogdanov was caught in a diplomatic tussle earlier this week after trying to broker a summit between Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Moscow, who both claimed a willingness to meet while decrying the other for allegedly refusing. ..."

Leon Czolgosz shoots and mortally wounds William McKinley, the last Civil War veteran president in 1901.
The KGB also trained his predecesor, Yasser Arafat.
Arafat’s dad was pals with Hitler.
McKinley enlisted in the Ohio infantry and served under fellow future president, Maj. Rutherford Hayes.
It wasn't his dad, it was his "uncle", the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin Al Husseini.
I stand corrected, but still, close enough.
Yeah, I seem to remember that the relationship was unclear and that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was Arafat’s uncle. But what is clear is the two conspired to rid the Middle East of Jews. Once they had conquered the Soviet Union, the intention was for the German army to sweep into the Middle East and clean out the Jews.
The takeaways I got from the event:
German security forces were total keystone coppers. Getting caught in their won cross fire. If modern German forces are still anything like this, Europe never has to fear Germany
