"No official in the world trusts Israel"

So said al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade's Jihad Jaara when Irish Special Branch officers promised not to let any harm come to him at the hands of Israel's secret service: Mossad.

Jaara has lived in Dublin since being exiled following the Church of the Nativity siege in Bethlehem in 2002. In spite of assurances from Israel:

Irish intelligence authorities tracked down two Israeli intelligence (Mossad) agents who were apparently attempting to enter the country to assist in the assassination of a senior Palestinian militant, Irish newspaper Evening Herald. reported.

Not surprisingly, the Israeli foreign ministry has denied the allegations and equally unsurprisingly:

Ireland has not filed an official complaint against Israel as of yet, but Irish security sources said the country is "concerned."
