David Kimche, Israeli Spy, Is Dead at 82
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 10:55 a.m. ET
JERUSALEM (AP) -- David Kimche, the Israeli spy-turned-diplomat who played a key role in the Iran-Contra scandal that rocked President Ronald Reagan's administration, has died. He was 82.
Kimche, who would later become involved in the Middle East peace process, died at home late Monday after a yearlong battle with brain cancer.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Kimche for the way he ''combined elegance, patriotism and sophistication'' and ''exemplified how to fulfill a public mission.''
A former journalist, the British-born Kimche became known for bringing an urbane and cerebral tone to the rough-and-tumble business of Israeli intelligence operations.
He specialized in Middle Eastern and African missions as a spy, and later championed behind-the-scenes involvement in those areas as a senior government official.
He began his career with the Mossad spy agency in the 1950s after emigrating to Israel, and rose to become deputy director of the agency. He later served as director-general of the Foreign Ministry in the 1980s, and most recently was serving as President of the Israel Council on Foreign Relations.... |

''combined elegance, patriotism and sophistication''
Who would have thought it? James Bond = Kimche!
Probably poisoned. |

Kimchi will never die. And as long as you eat enough of it, neither will you.
If only David Kimche had eaten more of it he'd probably still be with us. |
