Sharon to Mossad: "Kill the Bastards"
2002-12-03
(link by way of Fark.com)
AS soon as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon learned of last Thursday's terrorist attacks in Kenya, he summoned Mossad chief Meir Dagan to a meeting that promises to have momentous consequences for the conduct of the US-led war on terror.

War had been declared on the state of Israel by the global Islamic terror syndicate, Mr Sharon told Israel's top anti-terrorist expert. Change your priorities and get the enemy one by one.
The very mention of the word "Mossad" has made terrorists foul their underwear in the past. While some of this reputation is myth, a great big chunk if it is justified.

According to a well-informed source, the service has alerted sleeper agents in Saudi Arabia and Yemen to hunt down the planners of the attacks on the Israeli-owned tourist hotel and Israeli passenger plane at Mombasa.

Codenamed Warriors, these highly trained agents who volunteer to live under cover in Arab countries normally remain dormant except in wartime, when their mission is to undermine Arab preparations for strikes against Israel.
You can run, but you can't hide...

The last time such a serious order was given was in 1972. The then prime minister, Golda Meir, ordered Mossad to kill the Palestinians involved in the murder of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. All but one were eliminated over six years.

Mr Dagan is a veteran of such operations and is reputed to have killed more than 30 Palestinian terror suspects in Gaza during the 1970s.
Beyond the fevered imagination of conspiracy theorists (a large chunk of the population of the Middle East), Mossad doesn't really do high-profile stuff; it's not in their best interest. However, once in a while, the stuff that they do pull off is enough for 30 years worth of legends.
