No idea about direct evidence, but I would be surprised if it were not
true. A core of Narus' business is selling high performance
surveillance boxes for exactly this kind of use -- they are the folks
who built the box that was found in an AT&T backbone data center closet
in 2006. Interestingly for this case, Narus was founded by a couple of
Israelis.
Here's a post I wrote about Narus a couple years ago:
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/surveillance/2008/11/11/narus-security-through-surveillance/
Glancing at that post, I see that Narus listed Telecom Egypt as one of
its representative customers.
