South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela secretly traveled to Ethiopia and received paramilitary training from Israeli spies shortly before he was arrested in 1962, according to a memo that was reportedly just unearthed from Israel's State Archives.

A byzantine international spy scandal has been unravelling over the past two weeks with no end in sight. It involves double-agents, Mossad assassinations, nuclear sabotage, and the too-good-to-be-true code name "Prisoner X."

Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, a weekly newspaper serving Atlanta's Jewish community, devoted his January 13, 2012 column to the thorny problem of the U.S. and Israel's diverging views on the threat posed by Iran. Basically Israel has three options, he wrote: Strike Hezbollah and Hamas, strike Iran, or "order a hit" on Barack Obama. Either way, problem solved!

Ever wanted to know the MasterCard numbers of alleged Mossad agents? Thanks to Wikileaks, you can!

Mossad have really not done Israeli diplomats any favors. Australia has now summoned the country's envoy to ask about three new suspects in the Dubai assassination — who used fake Aussie passports. Police now suspect 26 people were involved. [BBC]

Israeli officials are to meet with their British and Irish counterparts to talk about the passports that 'alleged' Mossad agents stole to kill a senior Hamas leader in Dubai. France and Germany, whose citizens also had passports cloned, are expected to follow suit.

The mysterious hit squad that executed, and possibly tortured, a Hamas leader in Dubai was bigger than first thought, and stole the identities of Britons living in Israel. Who are now confused as to why Interpol are searching for them.

Dubai authorities have released video of an 11-member assassination team (likely Israeli) before, during, and after they killed a Hamas official last month, as caught by surveillance cameras at the airport, malls, and hotel rooms. It's like Munich, but real.

What are state secrets worth to a NASA scientist? In the case of Stewart David Nozette, undercover agents posing as Israeli intel were able to get the price down to around $10 grand. What a bargain!
