Israel's vaunted Mossad missed at least two chances to capture Nazi fugitive Dr Josef Mengele, who sent hundreds of thousands of Jews to their death at Auschwitz, a former agent said Tuesday. Rafi Eitan, who commanded the audacious capture in 1960 of top Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Argentina, said that during the hunt he and his team discovered Mengele's hideout.
"At the same time as we caught Eichmann, Mengele was living in Buenos Aires. We found his apartment and kept it under observation," he told Israeli public radio as the spy agency declassified its file on operations against the man known to prisoners as the "Angel of Death".
Yediot Aharonot newspaper, citing the newly available material, said that Mengele as chief medical officer at Auschwitz had "sent hundreds of thousands of Jews to the gas chambers with a wave of his hand".

“Vaunted”, really? AFP shows their true colors here.
Well, the French do have “Clousseau”.
“Mengele died in a drowning accident in Brazil in 1979.”
Yea, sure.
We missed Osama a couple of times didn’t we Bill..
At least the Israelis didn’t turn down an offer from the Sudan to hand over Mengele.
They can now go after George Soros.
