#1 Get ready for another Iraq style quagmire as soon as Biden's neocons start their shit. Based on the same lies and the media will line up to bleat the talking points just like in Animal Farm.

#2 Mossad agents are wandering the streets of the Iranian capitol with plans of mayhem in their hearts?

They may be there - but not to shoot individuals.

#3 ...I thank God that Israel has men (and likely women as well) with the courage to do these things.

#6 I have to wonder given the NYT historical lame reporting using FACTS.

Was this a work of fiction or a Anti-Israel Agenda tactic to cover internal political issues in Iran.

What better way to disrupt the Peace accords currently underway by the Trump Admin, than to plant blame on Israel. Thus pausing such peace deals and giving IRAN's government cover for killing Israeli leaders anywhere in the world?

#7  What better way to disrupt the Peace accords currently underway by the Trump Admin,

The MidEastern countries in talks with Israel or considering it would be glad Israel is quietly eliminating another of their problems. It is for this that they were persuaded to pursue peace in the first place.

#8 During a May 1993 meeting of senior Islamists held at the Popular Arab and Islamic headquarters in Khartoum in May 1993, and at a meeting that followed, Al Qaeda's al-Masri and Zawahiri were present. There resulted an Iraq-Iran-Sudan "contingency plan" to confront directly the United States military forces in Somalia. Al-Masri was named to lead AQ activity in Somalia. The result? They suckered Bill Clinton into a policy that was a disaster.

#11 Zawahiri dead, al-Masri dead, Abdelkader Mokhtari (Abu el-Ma'ali, The Gendarme)the Islamist commander who was a "sacred legend" in Bosnia is dead. It's been a bad week propaganda-wise for the Mujahideen.

#12 Oops, sorry, al-Ma'ali was killed sometime back. I have his name confused with another AQ character who was killed this week.

...killed in a special operation by the National Directorate of Security (NDS)

Clearing all sorts of decks for action? It really is interesting that so many are suddenly pronounced deceased.
