Mossad: Jordan
built 656 days ago
The first step was taken in November 1988, when the Mossad told the Israeli foreign office to stop all talks with the Iraqis regarding a peace front. At that time, secret negotiations were taking place between Israelis, Jordanians, and Iraqis under the auspices of the Egyptians and with the blessings of the French and the Americans. The Mossad manipulated it so that Iraq looked as if it were the only country unwilling to talk, thereby convincing the Americans that Iraq had a different agenda.

[T]he dirty work is not confined to stealing information; it ... includes terrorist attacks on members of Islamic resistance, at which Mossad has shown itself to be so inept. In 1997, for instance, Mossad operators bungled an attempt on the life of the Hamas leader Khalid Masha’al in Jordan. But despite this outrage, Jordan subsequently deported Hamas. Palestinian leaders are also the victims of periodical crackdowns by Arab dictators, including Arafat.

On 24 September 1997, Mossad operatives attempted to assassinate Khalid Meshaal, a top political leader of the Palestinian group Hamas. The assassins entered Jordan on fake Canadian, and injected Meshaal with a poison. Jordan was able to wring a number of concessions out of Israel in the aftermath of the fiasco, including the release of the founder of Hamas, Shaykh Ahmad Yasin, from an Israeli jail.

It is not known how much Mossad paid either to the Iraqi officers or to merchants based in Jordan who acted as intermediaries. It may have been as much as £30,000 each.
