BIZARRE ALLEGATIONS
Remarkably, the arrestees in question -Imad al-Rimi, 23, Ali al-Mahfal, 24, and Bassam al-Haidari (a.k.a. Abu al-Ghaith), 26- are being accused by Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh of working for “an Islamist terrorist cell with links to Israeli intelligence, [which] ha[s] been dismantled”[3]. On January 10, a Yemeni court heard that al-Haidari communicated with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert via email, offering to collaborate with the Israeli authorities prior to the US Embassy attack. The intercepted emails allegedly show that al-Haidari wrote to Olmert “[w]e are the Organisation of Islamic Jihad and you are Jews, but you are honest, and we are ready to do anything”[3]. Prosecutors for the Yemeni government claim that Olmert (or, more likely, someone from the Israeli intelligence services who was forwarded al-Haidari’s message) actually wrote back telling al-Haidari “[w]e are ready to support you [...] as an agent”
The allegations may seem bizarre, to say the least. However, if true, they will not signify the first time that Israeli intelligence agencies have actively supported militant Islamist groups in the Middle East.
Professor Anthony H. Cordesman [4], who currently holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Washington, DC-based Center for Strategic & International Studies, has near-conclusively demonstrated Israel’s systematic financial and monetary aid to Hamas, which began in the late 1970s.
According to internal documents published several years ago by the Israel-based Institute for Counter Terrorism [5], in 1978 Israeli authorities allowed Hamas co-founder Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Yassin to establish the group under the early name “Islamic Center” in Israel
A few years later, during the Iran-Contra Scandal (1985-1986), Israel acted as Washington’s conduit in supplying US-made weapons to Iran and then channeling the profits to the Contras paramilitary mercenaries fighting Nicaragua’s Sandinista government.
Israel did so in full knowledge of the fact that the Iranian government was at that time Hamas’ primary military supplier.

Very interesting. It's common knowledge that Israel funded Hamas as an opposition to Fatah, but if the Yemen government really do have email evidence of the Israeli government offering to support an Islamic terrorist organisation then that's a major smoking gun. How many more 'agents' might they have?
I'm very surprised this hasn't had more attention.
Here's more info from the Yemen Times:
Yemenis tried on charges of spying for Israel

No one is ignorant enough to know they are not being used.
Pawns know they are pawns and kings know they're kings. At this point just ask yourself how long has it been since they sold their souls to the devil? how long has it been since yours was sold without your permission?
All this is the same old, old trick in the book. How do you control the masses? by fear, by making sure that a big gov't is needed in order to maintain your restricted freedoms.
Funding groups like Hamas, like Al-Qaeda, Iraq, Iran, Fatah.
What we are doing right now as civilians in a restricted world is living out the chapters in a story written long before we were born, but like all historical stories, the ending is still not written.

The Spanish police announced Wednesday that they had arrested six people suspected of a £420 million fraud in a public company traded on the AIM exchange in London. No names were released, but the newspaper El Pais reported that among those arrested is a former Mossad agent, Avraham Hochman, whom the newspaper described as the one of the "brains" behind the fraud.

olmert was never involved,it was forwarded elsewhere.
