JERUSALEM — The Mossad, Israel's spy agency, this week brought home to her final rest one of its legendary female operatives, Sylvia Raphael.

Only now is it being revealed that she was one of the secret agents who penetrated the PLO bases in Jordan and Lebanon four decades ago when a little-known gang leader named Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) was beginning his terrorist attacks.

Her story reads like . . . well, like a spy novel.

Raphael was born in 1937 in South Africa to a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother. That made her non-Jewish, technically . . .

Fascinating! Will there be a book?

[lilylangtree]

Sounds like a movie, play or book. Wonder which will be first?

[nina0113]

I see you're new here - it's considered uncouth to post accusations without evidence. Please provide some.

[Awestruck]

God rest her valiant soul... and God help the soul of the newbie/terrorist who called her names...

[sofaman]

Oh..another one....

[Telit Likitis]

I see from a google search for "Sylvia Raphael" that Angelfire
has pulled a few pages relating to this woman. Do you think this may account for our newbie's presence?

[LibWhacker]

Don't know. Can't wait, though!

Looks like he's just another hit 'n run DUmmy. Have half a notion to report him.

LeCarre wrote one some time ago and I think that Diane Keaton had the role - in The Little Drummer Girl. Let the opinions begin.

Bye, Trufth.

"He's dead, Jim!"

The Mossad, Israel's spy agency, this week brought home to her
final rest one of its legendary female operatives, Sylvia Raphael.

Well, bless her soul.

May she rest in peace.

[kingsurfer]

She and other agents were assigned to the Norwegian town of Lillehamer in July 1973 to eliminate Hassan Ali Salameh, the Black September operations chief. But other agents mistakenly killed another man — and Raphael was arrested in the ensuing dragnet.


She was convicted and sentenced to 51/2 years in jail. She married her defense lawyer, Annaeus Schjodt, behind bars.

...........................................................

Tragic killing of an innocent man. But is should be noted that Israel did compensate the victim's family unlike certain Arab countries would do.

[Darksheare]

Yes, always ripping the tails off and tearing the catnip mouse open so it's diced filler sprinkles onto the floor.
;-)

[Slings and Arrows]

Annoying, but plenty more where those came from.

[OSHA]

Looks like trufth got an F in truth.



Sorry.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
That she did.

[Darksheare]

Wonder when the next one will come squeaking into the light?
