NZ PM in mid-air drama

From correspondents in Wellington

April 13, 2005

From: Agence France-Presse

A SMALL plane carrying New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark was forced to make an emergency landing this morning after rapidly losing altitude when a door swung open in mid-air, flight officials confirmed.

Ms Clark said she wondered whether she would "live or die" when the door dislodged and opened during turbulence on a flight from Rotorua in the cental North Island to Wellington. The pilot sent out a distress call and diverted to the nearest airport, which was at Paraparaumu just north of the capital.

Ms Clark told National Radio she was sitting in the rear of the plane reading her papers when they struck turbulence without warning.

The sudden movement of the plane dislodged the door and as it began to open, two police officers travelling with the prime minister grabbed hold of it.

They could not shut the door, so they held on to it through the emergency landing.

Ms Clark would not comment on whether the door on the six-seater plane had been closed properly before take-off, saying that the investigation would look at that question.

Oh, yeah... it was something like this:

AUCKLAND (Reuters) - New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark has suspended all high-level contacts with Israel after two Israelis suspected of being spies for Mossad were jailed for trying to obtain a passport by fraud.

And remember who visited them?

The strange case of the disappearing diplomat

American secrets, Mossad spies and sex, sex, sex
Reuters reported: “Police said a young girl testified she was filmed and photographed by the teacher, Georges Schteinberg, having sex with Israeli tourists. She also explained that Scher participated in some of the sessions . . . . ‘We confirmed that the pornographic pictures were taken next to the consul’s pool and on his deck,’ said Roberto Costa, a chief investigator for the civil police.”

He's well known in his community as well:
Meanwhile, the Australian Jewish News also reports that Australian Jewish leaders have opposed the Israel's Foreign Ministry replacement for Amir Laty.
They rejected Aryeh Scher's appointment because of alleged involvement in a child-sex scandal in Brazil five years ago.

And look what his predecessor was up to:

An Israeli diplomat was expelled from Canberra after trying to seduce women employed by some of Australia's most sensitive national security, defence and spy agencies.

Amir Laty was kicked out of the country in late December after spending most of his 18 months in Canberra trying to bed female spies, diplomats, defence specialists and even journalists.

Such activity by a young, single male (even a spy) is not considered serious enough to warrant expulsion, but selecting well-placed female government officials for "careful cultivation" to obtain secret information is a different matter.

It is understood Laty had only limited success in his quest for companionship and secrets.

The shortish, lean and plain-looking man was a frequent visitor to the B-bar in Kingston, one of Canberra's upmarket venues frequented by young, upwardly mobile professionals.

The extraordinary tale of sex, spies and allies took a bizarre twist yesterday when Attorney-General Philip Ruddock was forced to rule out any link between Laty's expulsion and his long-time friendship with his 26-year-old daughter Caitlin.

Mr Ruddock, who is responsible for the domestic spy agency ASIO, demanded privacy for his daughter who first befriended the Israeli spy six years ago during their university studies in Beijing.

"Any acquaintance she may or may not have had with this particular gentleman was totally irrelevant to his departure from Australia, and his departure is not something we're commenting on," he said.

"It's totally irrelevant and I think she's entitled to some privacy," Mr Ruddock said.

Israel's spy agency Mossad enjoys close links with two of Australia's key spying organisations – the overseas network, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service and the prime minister's own spy agency, the Office of National Assessments.

The targets for Laty's advances worked for one of those agencies as well as the military spy agency, the Defence Intelligence Organisation.

"It was an attempt at high-level espionage," a well-placed national security source said.

The espionage is said to be linked to Australia's penetration of the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist network which is the South-East Asian offshoot of al- Qaida.

Meanwhile, Laty's replacement as Consul at Israel's Canberra embassy, Aryeh Scher, yesterday had his appointment cancelled over a child-sex scandal in Brazil over photographs of the diplomat naked with young girls.
