Israeli authorities said it
appeared that the Syrian spy
ring was cooperating with
Egyptian intelligence in that
area.
The Druze ring was based

the Golan Heights near the
Syrian border and was head-
ed by Abu Jamal Shaquib,
51, a wealthy Druze who em-
ployed his sons and other
relatives in espionage activ-
ities. Shaquib and 14 mem-
bers of his clan were ar-
