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)
“Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people’s crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translate into concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
