Israeli Connection
British writer Gordon Thomas hinted that the Mossad (Israel's foreign intelligence agency) was involved in the explosion. Thomas wrote that the train was carrying Syrian nuclear scientists working on the Syrian and Iranian nuclear-weapons programs, and fissionable material that they had arrived to collect. All of the technicians were killed in the blast. Thomas wrote that the site was cordoned off for days as North Korean soldiers in anti-contamination suits collected wreckage and sprayed the area, with Mossad analysts suspecting they were trying to recover weapons-grade plutonium.

Famous quotes containing the words israeli and/or connection:
“...I want to see a film, they send the Israeli army reserves to escort me! What kind of life is this?”
—Golda Meir (1898–1978)
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
