6....Mordechai Vanunu's Honeytrap
Whistleblower scientist Mordechai Vanunu, a disgruntled technician at the Dimona nuclear complex, planned to release information on Israel’s nuclear program to British newspaper The Sunday Times. Placed in a safe house, Vanunu was told to be careful. But he ran afoul of Mossad agent Cheryl Hanin, who claimed to be an American tourist named “Cindy.” To his credit, Vanunu asked if she was a Mossad agent, but she feigned ignorance of the organization. Vanunu would later explain: “It wasn’t in a bar, it was in the street. I was crossing the road and this woman was crossing the road and we began to talk. [ . . . ] I didn’t fall in love with her, but I thought things could continue. Initially, I told her she was a Mossad agent, but afterward, I forgot about it.” He fell for her, but she refused to sleep with him in London, telling him that they should do it at her sister’s place in Rome. He went with her to Italy, where he was arrested by Mossad and placed on a freighter bound for Israel. Vanunu spent 18 years behind bars. Initially, he believed that “Cindy” was also a victim until he finally realized the truth about three days into his slow sea journey to imprisonment. Newspaper executives blamed the success of the trap on Vanunu’s sexual status as a 31-old-virgin who was “desperate to get laid.”

5....Lillehammer
Following the brutal attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games by the terrorist group Black September, Mossad was gunning for revenge. They initiated “Operation Wrath of God” in retaliation, beginning with the shooting of Palestinian translator Wael Zwaiter in Rome and the car bombing of Mahmoud Hamshari, alleged head of Black September, in Paris. Operation Wrath of God had a flavor of righteous retribution, although some people claim that Zwaiter had no links to the terrorist organization or the attacks. But things really took a turn south with the murder of Ahmed Bouchiki, a Moroccan waiter in Lillehammer, Norway. Mossad had received information that Ali Hassan Salameh, the mastermind of the Munich attacks, was in Norway. This was actually counterintelligence sent by Salameh to throw the Israelis off his trail. Mossad tracked down the man they believed to be Salameh, but it was really Bouchiki, who had an unfortunate facial resemblance to Salameh. Mossad team leader Mike Harari was inexperienced and overconfident. The final misidentification of Bouchiki as Salameh was made by Kemal Benamane, an Algerian who worked as a courier for Black September until he became a double agent for Mossad . Bouchiki was shot dead as he walked home from work, but things quickly spiraled out of control. Lillehammer hadn’t seen a murder in 40 years. The arrival of a dozen foreigners in the sleepy town had already been noticed by residents and the police, so officers were nearby when Bouchiki was killed. While Harari and some of the team escaped, six operatives were arrested by Norwegian police and put on trial for murder. During the trial, the agents made full confessions that revealed embarrassing details about Mossad’s clandestine activities and assassination methods. In the aftermath, Mossad abandoned its entire European network of safe houses, drop boxes, and secret phone numbers.

8....Passport Scandals

In 2010, an international scandal erupted when it was
discovered that Mossad had used three forged Australian
passports to enter Dubai and assassinate Hamas leader
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. Former Mossad case officer
Victor Ostrovsky told ABC radio that it was a common
practice: “You can tell whatever stories you want. It
doesn’t take much of an accent to be an Australian or
New Zealander, or an Englishman for that matter. And
I know people had been under Australian cover not
once [but] quite a few times. So why not use it
[again]?”
Australia warned Israel that such behavior would
compromise good relations between the countries.
Britain, Ireland, France, and Germany were also
furious that people linked to the assassination had been
carrying travel documents from their countries.
According to Ostrovsky, Mossad spends a great deal of
money on a research department that falsifies travel
documents, with factories churning out these documents
based on blank or stolen passports from Western
countries. This allows Mossad agents to remain
undetected in Arab countries where an Israeli passport
would attract scrutiny.
Mossad denies Ostrovsky’s claims, although that’s
hardly surprising. In 2011, a related scandal emerged.
Ostrovsky warned six British-Israeli dual citizens who
had their UK passports stolen and used by Mossad that
they shouldn’t leave their homes or travel abroad
because Hamas might target them, either accidentally or
to send a message.


7....Operation Plumbat


Together with the alleged NUMEC theft, Israel’s
nuclear program was bolstered by Mossad’s nuclear
piracy operations, both real and faked. In the most
notorious incident, Mossad set up a Liberian front
company to purchase a tramp ocean freighter which
they renamed the Scheersberg A .
Then they enlisted a West German official at a
petrochemical company to help them purchase $3.7
million of yellowcake from the Belgian company Union
Miniere, which had mined the uranium several years
earlier in Shinkolobwe in the Congo and was looking
to get rid of it.
A contract was set up to have the shipment delivered to
an Italian paint company for processing. In November
1968, the Scheersberg A was sent to Antwerp where the
uranium was placed in barrels labeled “Plumbat,”
referring to a harmless lead product. The Spanish crew
of the ship was fired and replaced with Mossad agents
with forged passports.
The ship was ostensibly headed to Genoa, but it never
arrived. Instead, the ship rendezvoused with an Israeli
freighter and two gunboats off the coast of Crete. The
uranium was transferred to the waiting ships and taken
to Haifa. Then the Scheersberg A went to Turkey,
docking with no cargo and several pages ripped from its
log. The Italian company was told to cancel their order
as the cargo had disappeared without explanation,
which they assumed meant piracy or hijacking. It
wasn't until the 1970s that the truth was revealed.
According to Rolling Stone and other sources, Mossad
also engaged in nuclear piracy and theft aimed at
Western powers. However, two operations occurred with
the cooperation of the French and West German
governments.
In one 1968 incident, a commando unit used tear gas
to subdue the driver of a French truck transporting
uranium. The material was smuggled to military bases
in Negev, a desert region in Israel. Meanwhile, an
inquiry in the US found that at least 1 ton of uranium
and plutonium had gone missing between the 1950s
and 1970s, including a significant amount from a
plant in Irvine, Tennessee.
Foreign Affairs10 Controversial Mossad Operations. by Goahead(op):
Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, is known as a
fearsome organization, punching way above its weight
in the world of espionage. Some scandalous operations
have happened, tarnishing the agency's reputation
over the years.


10.... NUMEC.


In the 1960s, the Nuclear Materials and Equipment
Corporation (NUMEC) in Apollo, Pennsylvania,
which produced nuclear material, was the town’s
largest employer. When it closed its doors in 1983, the
federal government declared that several nearby streets
were contaminated with radiation.
To make matters worse, analysts determined that
hundreds of pounds of highly enriched, weapons-grade
uranium had gone missing from the plant in the
1960s. Some people suspect that the uranium is buried
somewhere in the town, although there’s evidence that
Mossad might have stolen the material.
NUMEC founder Zalman Shapiro was known to have
connections within the Israeli intelligence community
and government. The Ohio-born son of a rabbi, he was
extremely affected by the death of relatives during the
Holocaust and was a big supporter of the Jewish state.
Mossad was known to have conducted covert operations
to acquire nuclear material, including one alleged open-
water transfer.
When the US Atomic Energy Commission realized that
90 kilograms (200 lb) of uranium had disappeared
without explanation in 1965, US intelligence agencies
became convinced that it had been illicitly transported to
Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor.
Despite the ongoing investigation, another 180
kilograms (400 lb) went missing during the 1960s,
possibly through an arrangement with a front company
called “ISORAD,” which was founded by Shapiro in
partnership with the Israeli government.
While ISORAD was ostensibly researching food
pasteurization, many believe that it was used to
streamline the shipment of nuclear material to Israel.
Shapiro has steadfastly proclaimed his innocence and
was never convicted of a crime.

9....Arms Sell To Iran And The Contras


During the Shah’s reign, Israel sold arms to Iran. But
this arrangement came to an end when diplomatic ties
and oil exports to Israel were cut off after the Islamic
Revolution. Nevertheless, Israel resumed selling arms to
Iran covertly when Iraq invaded Iran in 1980.
Even though the two countries were technically enemies,
Iran desperately needed arms, Israel had surplus arms to
sell and needed hard currency, and both hated Saddam
Hussein. According to the memoirs of Zbigniew
Brzezinski, who was US National Security Adviser to
President Jimmy Carter, the Carter administration was
aware of the arrangement and turned a blind eye despite
the trade embargo on Iran.
In 1981, a plane carrying arms from Israel to Iran
crashed in the Soviet Union near the Turkish border.
Evidence that Israel was supplying Iran with weapons
increased when British newspaper The Observer obtained
documents from Mossad-linked arms dealer Yaakov
Nimrodi, who had close ties with the Iranian military
before the revolution. It’s unknown whether the US,
Israel, or Iran first proposed the secret arrangement .
There was also a Mossad operation called “Tipped
Kettle ” which seized arms from the Palestinian
Liberation Organization (PLO) and sold those arms to
the contras in Nicaragua in 1983 and 1984. Supported
by the CIA and funded by the US Congress, the
shipments supposedly delivered 6,000 weapons in 1983
alone. Journalists reported seeing the captured PLO
artillery, antitank weapons, and heavy machine guns
being used in Nicaragua, which looked somewhat
incongruous due to the desert camouflage paint jobs and
Russian lettering.

Foreign AffairsBreaking News:- China To End One-Child Policy! by Goahead(op):
China has decided to end its decades-long one-child
policy, Xinhua news agency reports.


All couples will now be allowed to have two children,
the state-run news agency said, citing a statement from
the Communist Party.
The controversial policy was introduced nationally in
1979, to reduce the country's birth rate and slow the
population growth rate.
However, concerns at China's ageing population led to
pressure for change.
The one-child policy is estimated to have prevented
about 400m births since it began.
Couples who violated the policy faced a variety of
punishments, from fines and the loss of employment to
forced abortions.
Over time, the policy was relaxed in some provinces, as
demographers and sociologists raised concerns about
rising social costs and falling worker numbers.
The Communist Party began formally relaxing national
rules two years ago, allowing couples in which at least
one of the pair is an only child to have a second child.
