Assassination is such a cold-blooded business. How cold-blooded?
This report comes The Yeshiva World, a legitimate new site for Israeli religious news. The site interviewed a Mossad agents who helped track down the Palestinians who kidnapped and killed 11 Israel athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Agent D: “It could be he’s smart, strong, intelligent – we had a lot in common. But he killed 11 athletes in Munich in front of the whole world, he slaughtered them in Germany. Therefore he deserved to die – I didn’t have the slightest doubt about it. He could have been the most charming person in the world but so what?”
Interviewer: And it didn’t constantly plague your mind that you were going to kill him?
Agent D.: “It didn’t plague my mind. I knew that this was my vision and that’s what I was here for.”
The story closes with an important footnote to the Mossad’s campaign of revenge: “The elimination [campaign] killed four innocent bystanders and injured at least 16 people.”
