Secret documents, leaked from numerous spy agencies, offer rare insights

This link goes to a 2 minute promo video for the upcoming Al Jazeera series related to secret security documents leaked to AJ.

A better link, in that it has the same promo video along with text (this link has no text) is to http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/02/spy-cables-world-espio...

Quoting from the later:

> Among the revelations, the Spy Cables disclose how:

> * Israel's Mossad told its allies that Iran was not working to produce nuclear weapons just a month after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned it was barely a year from being able to do so;

> * The CIA made attempts to contact Hamas directly despite the US government listing the Palestinian group as a "terrorist organisation";

> * Britain's MI6 sought South African help in an operation to recruit a North Korean official who had previously refused their cash; and

> * South African and Ethiopian spies struggled to "neutralise" an assassination plot targeting a leading African diplomat.
