UAE spy network busted in Oman

Oman says it has detected an espionage ring tasked by the United Arab Emirates with spying on the affairs of its government and military.


“Security services uncovered a spying network belonging to the state security apparatus of the United Arab Emirates,” Reuters quoted the state Oman News Agency as saying on Sunday.

The spy network was “targeting the ruling regime in Oman and the way its government and military work,” it added.

The discovery defied the good relations between the two sides.

Some two months ago, a number of Omani nationals, some employed by the government, were arrested, said an unnamed Omani government source.

The news agency said the suspects would have to stand trial.

David Kelly death riddle grows

Further questions have been raised over the death of Dr David Kelly after police admitted that two personal items found with his body – his mobile phone and a watch – did not have any fingerprints on them.

In another disclosure, following questions submitted under the Freedom of Information Act, police admitted they still do not know who owned the watch found beside his body. Police did not bother to check with Dr Kelly’s relatives if it belonged to him.

Now it is easier to be an informer

See something, say something

If the thought that your neighbours may be committing benefit fraud is unbearable, anonymously informing on them to the municipal authorities is now easier.

The majority of municipalities in South and Southern Jutland have systematised the citizens’ reports.

- I do not actually care for informing. But fraud is just not tolerable, says Gylling Haahr, the Mayor of Varde, to dr.dk/syd.

It is possible to inform on others to the municipal authorities online. Yesterday, Varde municipality publicised a link on its website for citizens to provide anonymous information about others.

Profitable reports
It appears many locals are pleased to have somewhere to lodge their suspicions.

Last year, the eight municipalities of South and Southern Jutland received more than 300 anonymous reports.

Along with non-anonymous reports, it generated more than 18 million kroner extra to the public coffers.
