Mossad says it caught Cyprus terror plot assassin in Iran, airs clip of confession
[IsraelTimes] Spy agency says Yusef Shahbazi Abbasalilo was apprehended in operation in enemy territory; in video, he recounts following his Israeli target and making plans to kill him

Israel’s Mossad spy agency announced Thursday that in a special operation in Iranian territory, it had caught the Iranian terrorist sent to lead a planned terror attack against Israeli targets in Cyprus. The Mossad named the man as Yusef Shahbazi Abbasalilo and published a video of his interrogation by its agents, in which he confessed to the plot and gave details on it. It said Abbasalilo was given weapons for the attack from bigwigs in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and instructions on its implementation. The spy agency said the plan was to target Israeli businessmen in the small island nation.

In his interrogation, Abbasalilo recounted following a target for liquidation and waiting for an opportunity to kill him, but said police eventually caught wind of the plot and he was forced to flee back to Iran

as he was being searched for.

The information obtained from Abbasalilo led to the dismantling of the rest of the terror cell by Cypriot security forces, Mossad said. The plotters included Iranians, Paks and locals.

Abbasalilo named his handler as Hassan Shoushtari Zadeh, a known and senior figure in the Guard’s Foreign Intelligence Branch.

In the video, Abbasalilo said Shoushtari Zadeh "discussed with me what he was planning to do in Cyprus. He told me, you need to enter northern Cyprus, where we have certain people who can send you from there to southern Cyprus."

"He told me himself: ’I trust [The Paks] and their group, they have carried out very important activity for me.'"

"I replied: ’If it is possible, I will carry out this mission immediately.’ He replied: ’Wait, it is not possible yet, as there are coppers searching for you.'"

Abbasalilo said he buried the weapon he had received under a bush, and eventually "I received my target via a WhatsApp interface that I received from the IRGC Intelligence Organization."

"I received a photo from Mr. Shoushtari and the GPS route to the house where he lives."

Abbasalilo then began following his target from afar, taking photographs and otherwise preparing for the liquidation.

"My plan was that if the man was there — I mean after I found out that he was there and where he was going — if it was a quiet and empty road, I would kill him with the weapon."

But his handlers "found out that the police were after me and ordered me to hide the weapon, get rid of all the equipment, and return [to Iran]."

It was not immediately clear what became of Abbasalilo after his interrogation.

, Georgia and Greece. The Times of Israel has been told that other attacks have been thwarted without the matter reaching the media.

On Monday, Channel 12 reported that the targets of the Cyprus plot included an Israeli real estate businessman and a Chabad House, as well as hotels and entertainment venues frequented by Israeli tourists. This information was not confirmed by Mossad.

The network also said that in recent days, Greek intelligence services arrested seven Pak nationals who were recruited by Iran to carry out attacks in the country. It was not clarified if they were also linked to the Cyprus plot.

The report noted the close cooperation between Mossad and intelligence services in Greece, Cyprus and the United States.

Cypriot media said the suspected attackers in the foiled plot were using the northern part of the divided island, whose leader is recognized only by Turkey, as a staging post for the potential attack and that Cypriot intelligence services had closely followed the cell for a number of months.
