On one hand, it was very well executed - the target is dead and no one got pinched in the process. OTOH, it seems a little sloppy that there's so many pictures available.

Personally, I think it probably is Mossad because I can't believe Obama would pull the trigger on this kind of op, IMHO.

Isn’t Israeli security and Mossad, one in the same?

Glad to see someone’s intelligence agency is still taking out Terrorists and the people that help them......Wish our CIA would......

Thank God for Mossad......

If Mossad was behind it, you would think they would implicate Iran.

[hennie pennie]

Nope, it's waaaaay too sloppy. Mossad does esquisite forgeries, but the Irish passports didn't have both letters & numbers, and what numbers there were, were all botched up.

Besideswhich, why have the Dubai LEOs extradited two Palestinians from Jordan who they are still interrogating? At first the Palestinian Authority would say nothing, but now they admit that one of them is a Pelestinian Authority OFFICIAL, although they still haven't given names.

NO way the Mossad is this sloppy nowadays.

First reaction — good for them. Reasonably well executed. Get ‘er done.

On follow-up ... must’ve been somewhat botched if we know it was them. Isn’t Mossad the Israeli equivalent of U.S. Black Ops? A truly successful operation is one the public learns about in 20 years, not 20 days.

...unless they wanted to take the opportunity to send a message.

Don’t kid yourself. Zero is very capable of violence.
He is a nasty person.
Frankly I think Americans will find this out before he is kicked out of office.

Let me guess...Israeli security officials are self hating Jews right?

If Mossad, an amazingly inept job. Living persons passports, Israelis no less, and identified almost immediately. In fact caught on tape. And no one arrested but two palestinians. Possible, heads should roll, but Hamas may have another enemy or two out there.

Two palestinians were arrested.

Thanks OldDeckHand.

Names released by Dubai matched seven people living in Israel, raising questions about why the agency would endanger its own people by using their passport data as cover for a secret death squad. At the same time, some Israeli experts said the Dubai evidence pointed to a setup to falsely blame Israel... "Israel never responds, never confirms and never denies," Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in Israel's first official comment on the affair, then added: "I don't know why we are assuming that Israel, or the Mossad, used those passports."
