My Comment: WND first reported on this story 3 days ago. I looked for more corroborating reports .... and found none. Since I am usually skeptical of WND .... I let it pass. But The Times is now carrying the story (subscription required), and they are using Israeli intelligence officials to collaborate on this story. Other news outlets are also now starting to look into this story.
