Arizona businessman Harry Ellen testified he let the FBI bug his home, car and office, allowed his Muslim foundation's activities in the Gaza Strip to be monitored by agents, arranged a peace meeting between top Palestinian activists and gained personal access to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat during more than four years of co-operation with the FBI.

Ellen's FBI handler in the late 1990s was Kenneth Williams, an agent who later became famous for writing a pre-Sept. 11 memo to FBI headquarters warning there were Arab pilots training at U.S. flight schools. The warning went unheeded.

An expanded version of the same story (post#127):

Mr. Ellen testified the operation ended abruptly in early 1999, when he and his handler disagreed over the operation. The disputes began when Mr. Ellen angered the FBI by having an affair with a Chinese woman suspected of espionage.

The Justice Department's inspector-general is investigating some allegations that came to light in Mr. Ellen's case, including that FBI agents in sensitive probes moonlighted at private companies using FBI assets or investigative subjects to assist their personal interests.

Mr. Ellen, stepson of a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, had worked for U.S. intelligence since the 1970s as an "asset," a private citizen paid to provide information or conduct specific tasks. His work started in Latin America and also involved China and the Middle East.

By 1996, his humanitarian work had won him unprecedented access to Muslim terrorists from groups fighting for Palestinian independence, including Hamas.

He set up a foundation named al-Sadaqa to further his work by bringing sewing machines, eyeglasses and other assistance to Palestinians.

Ellen's FBI handler in the late 1990s was Kenneth Williams, an agent who later became famous for writing a pre-Sept. 11 memo to FBI headquarters warning there were Arab pilots training at U.S. flight schools. The warning went unheeded.
