Cairo - An Egyptian accused of spying for Israel was sentenced on Thursday to 25 years in jail by a special court.

Cairo's supreme state security court found Tarek Abdel Razek, who was arrested last year, and two Israeli officers guilty of “acts of espionage” on Israel's behalf.

The court sentenced in absentia the two officers, who according to the Egyptian judiciary worked for the Jewish state's Mossad intelligence agency, also to 25 years in jail.

Razek, who runs an import-export company, was accused of providing the two Israelis, from May 2007 to May 2010, information on Egyptians, Syrians and Lebanese working in the field of telecommunications and selecting those likely to cooperate with Mossad. - Sapa-AFP
