Report: Germany Helping Syria Rebels with Spy Ship Intelligence
(Reuters) Germany is helping Syrian rebels with information gathered by a German navy vessel off the coast of Syria, Germany's Bild am Sonntag said on Sunday. The boat had spying equipment from the German intelligence service, enabling it to observe Syrian troop movements up to 600 km. inland. Information on the military operations of President Assad's troops is passed on to U.S. and British secret services, who give it to the Free Syrian Army. Bild also said German intelligence agents stationed at a NATO base in the Turkish city of Adana were intercepting telephone calls and radio communications from Syria. They are also maintaining informal contact with sources close to Assad's government.
