NBC In League with Mossad
NBC has hired a former Mossad chief to oversee the network’s security at the Athens Olympics. (Hat tip: ploome.)
Athena, a company co-owned by former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit and Yossi Maiman’s Merhav group, recently won a tender issued by the American television network NBC to plan and run security for the network’s facilities at the upcoming Olympic Games in Athens.
Shavit will advise NBC on security measures, and Athena may also send its own security teams to the games.
Athena did not disclose the terms of the contract, but industry sources said it was for a substantial sum - as well as being extremely prestigious.
NBC decided to hire Athena due to persistent reports that terrorist organizations intend to try to carry out a major attack at the games.
