Kill Him Silently Last updated: 23 January 2013 by Aljazeera The story behind Mossad's bungled bid to assassinate Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal. Filmmaker: Yaser Abu Hilalah On September 25, 1997, the Israeli secret service tried to kill Khaled Meshaal, the Palestinian political leader of the Hamas movement. A six-member team had arrived in the Jordanian capital, Amman, a week before the date set for the assassination of the head of the Hamas political bureau who was living in exile. The Israeli agents had entered through Jordan's Queen Alia International airport from Amsterdam, Toronto and Paris using false Canadian passports. Interviewed in the film, Meshaal says: "The Israeli threats started that summer. Israel had tried but failed to prevent Palestinian operations. So it escalated its threats especially against Hamas leaders abroad. With hindsight, those threats reveal what the Israelis were planning. But at the same time we felt relatively at ease since Israel had never carried out an operation in Jordan." Mossad's move to assassinate Meshaal came in the wake of a series of suicide bombings Hamas carried out in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The attacks had left over 20 Israelis dead and hundreds injured. Israel was enraged and Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, called for an urgent meeting with his security services, including Mossad. He wanted a significant and telling strike against Hamas. The objective was clear: retaliation. At the same time there was a growing sense of mutual irritation at the heart of the Jordanian-Israeli relations. With this backdrop, Netanyahu gave the green light for the Mossad covert operation against Meshaal. It was to involve a slow-acting but lethal poison that would gradually shut down the brain's respiratory centre, leading to death. The plan was to spray the toxin into Meshaal's ears, leaving no apparent trace of any weapon, and leading to death within 48 hours. One of Meshaal's bodyguards, Muhammad Abu Saif, had chased the two Mossad agents who had carried out the operation and, with the help of a passing Palestinian Liberation Army officer, later captured them. The failed assassination proved to be one of the greatest fiascos in the history of special operations, and a pivotal moment in the rise of Hamas. This two-part film features exclusive interviews with Meshaal himself as well as with Danny Yatom, the then head of the Mossad, who masterminded the attempt to kill the Hamas leader, and who later fled to Jordan with the antidote that saved Meshaal's life. Part two - this episode will start airing from January 29 The second part of the film shows events following the failed assassination attempt, including behind-the-scenes discussions during the diplomatic struggle involving Jordan, Israel and the US. Retired Major-General Ali Shukri, who was the manager of the office of Jordan's King Hussein back in 1997, played a key role in managing the crisis that ensued following the Israeli attack on Meshaal. "King Hussein called President Clinton and informed him of what had happened. Clinton listened with astonishment. He couldn't believe that could happen in Jordan. By the end of the conversation Clinton was angry and said: "That man is impossible!", referring to Netanyahu. "King Hussein informed Clinton of his demands – the antidote and the nature of the [toxins] used against Meshaal. He told him the peace treaty between Jordan and Israel would be over if Meshaal died." At the same time, Danny Yatom, then chief of the Mossad, immediately travelled to Amman to meet King Hussein, who was reportedly furious with Yatom. The aim of Yatom's trip: To contain the situation. With tensions running high, King Hussein ordered his security forces to surround the Israeli embassy in Amman, where other members of the Mossad assassination squad were believed to be hiding. Meanwhile doctors at the Hussein Medical City hospital were struggling to diagnose Meshaal, who already lay in a coma. After expert consultation the doctors concluded that a large amount of an opiate-like drug had been administered to Meshaal. Tests showed it was a drug similar to morphine, which if administered in high doses, would have the effect of disabling the body's respiratory system. On September 27, Meshaal came out of the coma, appearing to return from the dead. The media knew nothing of the secret negotiations between Jordan and Israel, or King Hussein's demand for the antidote, until later. The Israeli government and the secret service came under Israeli media fire for a double humiliation – of failing to kill the Hamas leader without being caught and of being forced to release the founder of Hamas from jail in a prisoner exchange deal. Kill Him Silently is the story behind Mossad's bungled bid to assassinate Meshaal and the part the operation played in the Palestinian group's rise to power. |

Ada Nri1: Mr ibu is a farcical actor with little or no depth in performance while Osuofia on the other hand, has depth and shows more intelligence and talent not just by words, acts and costume, but also expressions from spontenaiety which can only be seen in a few gifted comediansThanks for ur literary registers! In addition, Ibu seems miss the touch b/w stupidity in real life and on set. Seen him a couple of times in Enugu and I am of the irresistible conclusion there're some traces of pure lunacy in him! Am sorry buh its true! |
I seem to get confused when Nigerians refer to the word "sigh" as being one or two different oral/nasal activities. I really am. The Merridien Webster refers to it as " sigh/sī/Verb: Emit a long, deep, audible breath expressing sadness, relief, or tiredness Noun:A long, deep, audible exhalation expressing sadness, relief, tiredness, or a similar feeling" But oftentimes Nigerians especially on NL refer to the traditional salivery sucking sound made by the lips, teeth and tongue as sighing I.e. the sound recently represented as " mtchew" on social fora. Some even refer to it as "hissing". However, I know the movies etc I'v watched tend to agree with the dictionary meaning above. Or do we have our own African pattern of sighing or even signing as some prefer to call it? It'd be appreciated if someone'd help to throw more light on this issue which I think most Nigerians esp. on NL have fallen into a painful albeit ignorant misaprehension of! |

98 percent of persons that commented here appear to fall into the avoidable misapprehension of the Poster's (Highyo) position; he is simply quoting another person and matter of fact ends the piece by urging everyone to seek the face of Christ in all we do irrespective of whether the quoted material is true or not. That said, I fail to fathom all this 'hulabaloo' abt Op this, Op that! Even if he has a history of nonsensical postings on NL, that has no bearing with the topic at hand in which he/she is quoting another. Guys, pls remove urselvs from Nigerian ignorance and read in between the lines! That's my take |
Clueless guy |
The ol' fool again! Elechi, instead of thanking God for pulling you out of near extinction arising out of poverty, you are engaging in this vainglorious trip in tomfoolery! A phool @ 72 is a ***** forever! |

Honestly, I'v been thinking deeply: who is gonna ban NBL, Guinness plc etc from ripping us off with their promos the way NCC has leashed these telecom coys and their ads? I made half a million bucks (my 1st time) about this time last year and blew about 200k on shacks hoping to win a brand new Honda I-vtec but nver won one(forgive the pun) now they have started again. Pls who's duty as in which body regulates beer, soft drink ads in Nigeria? I nearly drank myself dead. Consciousness just set in.

Police, mopol,Army, Anti-terrorism...... They were denied bail. Two lawyers; Sunday Okonkwo and Elochukwu Isaac appeared for them but the Magistrate Mr. Chukwu denied them bail cuz the matter was beyond his jurisdiction being punishable by death. They were remanded in Enugu prisons. Some of them were band members that came to play for them + a rev. Gentleman and two minors who were ordered to be detained at the New Haven police Station. The last photo is of them filing out of the premises. More photos exist but only 200 kb allowed.like I said. The court sat outside and I risked a lot to get these pictures with soldiers breathing down my damn neck!!!
