    Probably one of the best "Intelligence" agencies in the world, specifically the Israeli one.

    "(Heb. Hamossad Le'mode'in U'le'tafkidim Meyuchadim) The Israeli government's intelligence agency. Like the CIA, it uses agents to collect intelligence, conduct covert operations and counterterrorism. Its primary focus is on terrorist organizations and the Arab nations."

    Sorry, it's Saturday and the sun just set. Now I'll back you up Zbeck. The Mosad (with one or two S's, never a U, the word means "The Institution") is Israel's primary inteligence agency. Specifically it deals with foreign inteligence. Domestic inteligence and security is handled by another body, the "Shabac", which is an acronym for "Sherut Bitachon K'lali" or "the General Security Agency", and is the equivalent of the US Department of Homeland Security (or rather the other way around - the DHS is the American equivalent of the Shabac.)
