London Times claims Mossad agent in Azerbaijan confirmed existence of intelligence agency's base near Iran; says Baku is 'ground zero for intelligence work'
Why would a Mossad agent say such a thing?

#1  Because he was told to. I doubt MOSSAD would have any tolerance for bad CIA agent-type antics like blabbing to the press.

Remember what happened to Mordechai Vanunu (nuclear engineer who talked about the Israeli nuclear weapons program).

So the reason for doing this could be any of a number of things, such as anger at Azerbaijan, or calling al-Quds to come play, or counter-threatening Iran with non-linear attacks, or plans 'D' through 'ZZ'.
