TV: Al-Qaeda No. 2 was planning attacks on Israelis, Jews when killed in Tehran
[IsraelTimes] The US and Israel both had ’scores to settle’ with terror chief al-Masri, reportedly rubbed out by Israeli agents in August; Iran now said to fear more hits in Trump’s last 2 months.
The al-Qaeda No. 2 reportedly rubbed out by Israeli agents in Tehran in August was planning attacks on Israeli and Jewish Diaspora targets when he was killed, Israel’s Channel 12 news reported Saturday night.
Earlier Saturday, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reported that Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, aka Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was killed by Israeli agents at the behest of the US on August 7. Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet

denied the Times story, claiming it was "made up information."
"Abu Muhammad al-Masri had recently begun planning attacks against Israelis and Jewish targets in the world," the Israeli TV report said, quoting unnamed Western intelligence sources. This further underlined why the US and Israel had a "shared interest" in the elimination of this "arch-terrorist," it said. The US was seeking him for orchestrating two devastating attacks on embassies in Africa in the 1990s, while Israel alleges he oversaw the 2002 suicide kaboom of an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya in which three Israelis were killed.
The killing of al-Masri was the result of a huge, year-long operation, that went off without a hitch, the Israeli report said.
The Channel 12 report specified that the button men were Mossad agents. Israel’s Channel 13, by contrast, said the button men were likely "foreign agents activated by Israel."
Channel 13 further said Iran now fears further operations against terrorist chiefs in Tehran by Israel and the United States in the final weeks of the Trump presidency.
The Channel 13 news report also said the killing of al-Masri in the heart of Tehran had prompted an intensive investigation by Iran of the intelligence breach that saw him tracked down.
The nature of the killing, the TV report noted, resembled a series of liquidations of Iranian nuclear scientists in recent years attributed in foreign reports to Israel.
The Iranians were now "extremely worried" that Israel or the US, since they evidently have the intelligence, may try to eliminate additional bully boyz operating from Iran, from al-Qaeda and other groups, between now and the US presidential handover in January, the Channel 12 report said.
Channel 13 said it was curious that the US did not publicize the killing of the al-Qaeda number two, and that President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
did not reveal the killing during the presidential election campaign. It noted that nobody has claimed the up-to $10 million reward offered by the FBI for information regarding him.
