Ex-Mossad chief signals Israel attacked Iran nuclear assets
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) The outgoing chief of Israels Mossad intelligence service has offered the closest acknowledgment yet his country was behind recent attacks targeting Irans nuclear program and a military scientist.
The comments by Yossi Cohen, speaking to Israels Channel 12 investigative program Uvda in a segment aired Thursday night, offered an extraordinary debriefing by the head of the typically secretive agency in what appears to be the final days of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus rule.
It also gave a clear warning to other scientists in Irans nuclear program that they too could become targets for assassination even as diplomats in Vienna try to negotiate terms to try to salvage its atomic accord with world powers.
If the scientist is willing to change career and will not hurt us anymore, than yes, sometimes we offer them a way out, Cohen said.
