The Mossad used a cell phone to blow an enemy’s head off....neat trick.
The Mossad tracked down and killed each and every one of those involved in the Munich horror.
Either this was NOT Mossad, or that organization has declined horribly.
My money’s on the former
It is baffling who to thank for this public service though.
I suspect it was rogue/amateur Israeli elements, or Fatah making a power play against Hamas.
The key is how the passport info was obtained.
IMHO, it was Russians. Dunno if was Mafia or “Federal Security Service” or if there is a even difference between the two. But Russkis are ruthless enough to carry out a hit like that and smart enough to divert the blame on everybody else. When everybody is blaming other folks, it only LOOKS sloppy...
Everyone makes mistakes I guess, but I tend to agree. I'd add the possibility they wanted the mission known, or equally likely someone else wanted it hung on Mossad. It'll all be forgotten in a couple weeks.
