Mossad agents arrested in ’’Arab country’’
2003-10-01
An Arab country has recently arrested Israeli Mossad agents, which were plotting to assassinate high-level Hamas political leaders abroad, including the head of the movement politburo Khaled Meshaal, a top Hamas official was quoted as saying on Wednesday.
Might be Mossad, might be just somebody off the street.
In an exclusive statement to IslamOnline.net, Mohammad Nazal, a member of the Hamas politburo, said officials in the said "Arab country", notified the movement leaders they must take utmost precautionary measures in their movements. Nazal declined, however, to specifically name the Arab country, but sources have speculated the "Arab country" is Syria.
When I hear of high-level Hamas leaders, I think of Syria too.
"Israel is still adamant on its policy of assassinating Hamas leaders in and outside Palestine but the movement has been able to thwart such schemes by adopting strict security measures," Nazal confirmed. Press reports suggest that Meshaal, who moves among a number of Arab countries, was last seen in Qatar.
Really? Have to talk to Qatar about that.

#5  This story has got to be an Arab/Hamas plant. Trying to get a surveillance target to move, maybe?

#2  If they DID actually catch a Mossad agent, I suggest releasing him/her IMMEDIATELY.

You really, really don't want to piss those guys off.

#1  doubt they actually got a Mossad agent, more likely somebody didn't like somebody else and accused them of being 'zionist informers'

anyway, while the murder wantabees are busy changing their cell phone every hour, etc. it makes them less effective raising funds, recruiting cannon fodder, etc.
