Tunisia’s Ahmed Bennour (above) is a former Governor of Sousse.
Allegedly he has worked for Mossad.
Ahmed Bennour has pointed out that it is not he who works for Mossad but a number of other top Tunisian officials.

Ahmed Bennour wrote:
“The assassination of Palestinian leader Abu Jihad on April 16, 1988 in Sidi Said Bous … certainly benefited from Tunisian complicity (see the article the Israeli newspaper Maariv dated July 4, 1997)…
“Who delivered the plans of Abu Jihad’s villa to the Mossad, who cut the telephone lines near the Presidential Palace, who proceeded to empty Sidi Bou Said of every living soul on the night of his assassination, following extensive police raids?
“All these factors combined enabled the Mossad squad to perpetrate their cowardly assassination of Abu Jihad leader undisturbed.
“According to a survey published by the Maariv newspaper, the Mossad squad benefited from the complicity of some senior Tunisian officials at the time.”
A possible accessory to Mossad’s assassinations
Allegedly:
1. Ahmad Bannour organized the bombing of the Fatah headquarters in Tunis on 1 October 1985.
2. He helped organise the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud Mabhouh in Dubai on 20 January 2010.
A reconnoitering team in Dubai was led by Ahmad Bannour.
3. He fled from Tunisia to France when Ben Ali became president because his spying for Mossad had been discovered.
4. He runs a company in France which acts as a cover for Mossad.
Ahmad Bannour has pointed out that at the time of the bombing of the Fatah headquarters in Tunis, he was ambassador in Rome and Ben Ali was in charge of security in Tunis.
Ben Ali assumed the Presidency on 7 November 1987 in a bloodless coup d’état that ousted President Habib Bourguiba, who was declared incompetent.[1]
Ahmad Bannour has written:
“Cooperation between the Tunisian government and the Israeli secret service exists, but it didn’t start until what is shamefully called the “new era”, that is after the November 1987 coup.
“During this period, an Israeli interest office was set up in Tunis.
“Since then, political, security, economic, trade and finance relations have continued to flourish and strengthen in the greatest secrecy and hidden from the view of public opinion, both Tunisian and Arab.”
