#2 Wonder if maybe there was a financial doublecross someplace. That is a possibility, too. Maybe he was also carrying a lot of cash and it was basically a robbery. Maybe instead of meeting with Iranian arms dealers he was meeting with "Iranian arms dealers".

Such a deal would reek of Russian mafia involvement.

I am still not convinced beyond all doubt that it was Israel. This guy associated with too many vipers. He could just as easily have been bitten by his own associates.

#4 He added: "The Irish passport has great standing internationally and the Minister must do all he can to ensure its status is not debased.

A bit tardy by a hundred years or so in that effort, but if they could only learn the language......

#5 The thing is, nobody is arguing these are anything but genuine passports... or that the diplomatic papers are also not genuine. There has long been a lucrative trade in large numbers of genuine, blank passports issued by a number of European countries. I remember back in the '90s, a large number of blank Belgian passports were taken by someone who simply jumped over the counter and swept up piles of them from the official's desk. If it was indeed Israel taking advantage of the situation, they would be the least harmful of those carrying such passports. Nobody seems to be asking who else has acquired the probably tens of thousands of other legitimate passports over the years, and what nefarious activities have they gotten up to...

#7 The "International community" ??
he must have meant "Bunch of Eunuchs"

The profet Daniel said it best: "MENEH, MENEH, TAKEL UFARSIN"
The witing is on the wall.
If it was indeed the Mosad, I congratulate them for their UEVOS
