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)
“Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
