The latest twist in the "bugging" scandal at the University of Copenhagen is a claim by Victor Ostrovsky, an Israel-Canadian author and former agent for Mossad, that the Israeli intelligence service did "bug" the office and home of Professor Hans Gammeltoft-Hansen (he is now the ombudsman of the Danish parliament). Ostrovsky says that Mossad considered Gammelktoft-Hansen to be a Palestinian spokesman and that Danish police installed a microphone in his office in 1984 handing over the recordings to Mossad's Danish agent every other week. In February 1986 the agent put a "bug" in his home as well. Times Higher Educational Supplement, 28.10.94; see Statewatch vol 3 no 3.
