Regarding the story on NBC, I never take one source for granted. Some day we will know who is behind those assassinations in Iran, if we will care to know. Anybody working on weapons of mass destruction in Iran is a fair target in my book. Tell this to your USA/Israel partner also. Admit it, you were hit many times below your belt while growing up. So now you are redeeming yourself on anybody who comments here. You could just say to the misguided John Robey that he needs to study history a bit more.

There's always some 'unnamed Official, telling us how the MOSSAD does it's job. No 'unnamed official ever talks about the US Secret Service, British MI5, German, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Chinese plans or methods, but the Mossad appears to always immediately share 'it's secrets with 'foreign newspapers or 'unnamed officials. True or fals, one thing is sure....It 'always makes a good HEADLINE and as long the job gets done it doesn't make any difference who did what.

or maybe NBC got it right.

I thought all this would have been common knowledge Eichman was brought to Israel for a show trial for the victims of the Holocaust but plenty of other Nazi's were assassinated without trial. Mossad found them and then put a bullet through their head. After the Munich olympics Israel sent Mossad people all over Europe killing anybody who had been involved. In has spies in Lebanon who I am sure would turn assassins for the right price. They screwed up an attempt to kill a Hamas man at his Bhrain hotel. It has killed plenty of terrorists around the world over the past 60+ years and continue to do so without remorse. As for the Iranians I imagine that some of them at least were killed by recruited locals. Using a local who knows his way around, doesn't have to worry about disgueses and also the fact that if an Israeli is caught he will be given a show trial and assassinated which will be a problem, if an Iranian is caught he will be given a show trial and assassinated but as far as Israel is concerned he is disposable.

it very well. There is no need to sugar coat the truth.

news are jsut news and without supporting facts & evidence, ha, ha, ha!

It's comforting to see how many Muslim Terrorist sympathizers there are in Europe, especially the UK. I guess that's what happens when you allow your country to be taken over by Islamists; it becomes a Caliphate...and Non Muslims become Dhimmi. England and the rest of Europe will be back in the Stone Age in no time at all. Wake up Europe...time for Civil War against the Muslim Invaders! The Right Wing Islamists want to kill the Jews first, then Christians, and any Muslim that doesn't follow the hard right line! Wake up...deport them first...in coffins if necessary!

If we can train a few hundred thousand of them, a war can be averted. Kol hakavod Yisrael.

Iranian scientist. It's a cruel world with many double standards.

Let's blame everything on Israel including the election of Obama!

militant, far-right Israelis? Now you're whining that US officials spilled the beans. Really. Do you just like to whine or something? (rhetorical question, of course.)

Terrorism is not defined as "unexpected violence", though these days any time anyone makes a protest in the world its labeled quickly as terrorism....mostly from the US of A. Terrorism is the deliberate attacking of civilians to extract a political concession. That's been the Arabs MO for 92 years now. Remember 9/11, don't you? A scientist or weapons manufacturer for a military industry in a nation who is at war with you is allowed to be attacked under the rules of war. During the days of the Irgun, only British military were attacked, and that was after the Brits both attacks Jews and refused to offer them protection from the violent Arab massacres. Basic knowledge Robey....of which there is plenty in the libraries of Austin. Spend more time there and less time at liberal coffee houses without other Occupy (we want whatever you have) movement.

under the Geneva Convention, the Iranian scientists was not a civilian but part of a military apparatus in an enemy country who is at war with Israel officially, and the West unofficially. A country which funds intl terrorism and has hit more than 20 countries through such proxy terrorists. The only double standard here is from you - claiming that, despite Intl Law, this man is a civilian and deserves the same protection as the women and children whom his country's proxy terrorists mostly target.

This entire report is false. An Iranian claimed this and according to NBC some unnamed "American official" said they believed it. Not exactly the same thing as what was reported here.

Why aren't the US sources revealed? Let me guess... Because the Tooth Fairy does not want to disclose Santa's true identity. Regards

ONe step among many in building up heat against Israel, ambassadors' comments, Panetta's remarks, generals' remarks, now he's getting NBC involved. Just wait.. this is only the beginning......

haaretz is a better fit for you than to come where people have the temerity to have a different opinion than yours.

This scandal, for those not in the know, involves arms of the US Justice Department under Eric Holder allowing thousands of guns to reach Mexican drug cartels with the stated purpose of tracing them to "higher ups". Of course, this operation wasn't coordinated with Mexico, or US agents operating in Mexico. Those guns were used to kill hundreds of Mexicans and at least one US border agent. No one has yet been properly held to account. CBS has covered this story, but not NBC. If it's a scandal involving the Obama administration, they usually ignore the story.
