ARLINGTON, VA --In July 2004, a Defense Department
analyst and a senior official from an influential pro-Israel
lobbying group met at the Pentagon City mall in Arlington.
Amid the stores and shoppers, the-analyst warned that Irjlnian agents were
planning attacks against American soldiers and Israeli agents in Iraq, sources
familiar with the meeting said. Alarmed, the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee official, Keith Weissman, left the mall and went to the office of
colleague Steve Rosen. The-two men then relayed the information to the
Israeli Embassy in Washington and a reporter for The Washington Post. What
the AIPAC officials did not know, the sources said, was that the fBJ was

government of Israel.
That meeting and those phone calls are a focus of a criminal case
