Car bomb kills Iranian nuclear scientist

I suppose. "Plausible deniablity" was never Mossad's or Tzahal's forte.

This is the bunch who are still trying to pretend they haven't got nukes.

Simple - neither Mossad nor Tzahal (in and of themselves) have nukes.

Yup, and the CIA has no bullets and the KGB has no firearms...

No, I'm serious! I didn't say Israel doesn't have nukes, I said Mossad and Tzahal don't have nukes. 8)

They were, however, the lot in change of making sure that Israeli secrets stayed secret. They weren't overly successful in that case, and it's therefore because of them that the official line of "Nukes? What nukes?" is treated with the mild amusement it is.

[Mikey]

Yeah, they're certainly better at blowing up Ethiopian air traffic control towers than keeping state secrets.

[Graham Kennedy]

In fairness, they've never actually denied that they have nukes, have they?

[Deepcrush]

That and they denied having cruise missiles, you know... the ones the US gave them.
