Cairo/Beirut - The Syrian state-run news agency SANA said Thursday it will soon broadcast an interview with an alleged Israeli spy who they claim was arrested by security forces in Syria.
SANA said it will air the interview on Saturday during which the alleged spy will reveal how the military commander of the Lebanese Shiite movement Imad Moughaniyeh was assassinated in 2008 in a bomb blast in Damascus.
SANA said that the spy will be speaking on camera in what the agency described as 'confessions of an Israeli spy' about a plot against Syria.
The agency said the alleged spy will speak about how he got instructions to send spies to Syria to cause civil strife in the country.
Syria has been gripped by pro-democracy protests calling for the outsing of Bashar al-Assad since mid-March.
An estimated 2,600 people have been killed since protests started in Syria in mid-March, according to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay.
