KK MOUNTAIN
KK MOUNTAIN was the CIA code-name for its Cold War financial subsidy program providing annual cash payments to Mossad, Israel's primary foreign intelligence service.
KK MOUNTAIN was a code-name for one of the most sensitive operations of the CIA during the Cold War. It provided untold millions in annual cash payments to Mossad, Israel's primary foreign intelligence service. In return, Mossad authorized its agents to act, in essence, as American surrogates throughout North Africa and in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and the Congo. Some of the programs under KK MOUNTAIN were financed off the shelf by CIA contingency funds.1
