Syria Foils Mossad Assassination Plot Against Hamas

HeadlineMay 04, 2004

The Tehran Times is reporting that Syria recently thwarted an attempt by the Israeli spy agency Mossad to assassinate the Damascas-based Hamas leader Khaled Meshal. According to the paper, five members of Mossad who were disguised as Muslims were detained by Syrian officials after they tried to meet with Meshal. According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, another Mossad assassination plot of Meshal was foiled in 1997 after two agents were caught in Jordan with forged Canadian passports.
