| 520 | |a The historical origin of the intelligence services is undoubtedly to be found in the area of the ancient Near East, where the use of spies is already attested in the third millennium BC.

The abundant epistolary documentation of this period sheds light on the terminology used to define spies/informers, the organisation of intelligence activities, and the management of the flow of information that Zimri-Lim received from intelligence activities. | ||
