Exiled Palestinians Feared Assassination By Mossad

Mossad's preliminary plan
is to keep an eye on these Palestinians

TEL AVIV, May 26 (IslamOnline) - Europe is afraid that the Israeli intelligence, Mossad, try to assassinate the 13 Palestinians exiled in six European Union countries under an EU-brokered deal after spending nearly 40 days besieged by Israeli forces in the Church of the Nativity.

Based on Italian media sources, the Israeli Daily newspaper, Ma’ariv said Friday that British intelligence has prepared a secret document discussing the fears of the seven European countries, to which the Palestinians were exiled, that the Mossad assassinate them. These countries are Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium and Cyprus.

According to this document, Mossad’s preliminary plan is to track and keep an eye on these Palestinians in the European countries they were exiled to. The next step, the paper said, would be to kill them.

This was not an unprecedented action coming from the Mossad. The document gave an example of what happened to the Palestinians resistance activists who killed 11 Israeli athletes during Munich Olympics in 1972, as the Mossad had tracked them down and killed them.

Reacting to the document, Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, said he had received a personal guarantee from Israel's Foreign Minister Shimon Peres that there would be no attempt from the Israeli part to kill the 13 exiled Palestinians, the paper reported.

The Italian Prime Minister told a news conference that Peres "gave me a guarantee: there will be no action by Israel."

During an earlier visit to Rome, Peres said Israel would, however, retain the right to demand the extradition of the 13 Palestinian activists from the European countries hosting them, saying the men "have blood on their hands".

Italy, like EU president Spain, has agreed to take in three Palestinians, Greece and Ireland two each, while Portugal and Belgium and Cyprus will take one each.
