(Ynet News) Lior Zilberstein - In a sensational autobiography released after his death, French journalist Roger Auque reveals that in 1989 he "established very close ties with Israel." "The Israeli intelligence services paid me to complete certain missions, such as secret missions in Syria under the cover of a reporter." "I traveled to Damascus a number of times in order to make contact with the local elite, doctors, researchers and others." The French intelligence services also enjoyed the fruits of his labor and later on so did the CIA. While working as a reporter in Beirut, he was taken captive in 1987 by Hizbullah and held for 391 days. His release was paid for by Libya's Gaddafi.
