Israel reportedly fears Iran or a proxy
organization may seek to attack Israelis during the Olympic Games, set
to begin later this week, The Sunday Times reported.
Israel had already planned for beefed-up
security for its delegation at the Games in London, but now harbors
concerns that the terrorists responsible for last week’s bombing of an
Israeli tourist bus in Burgas, Bulgaria, will strike again, the paper
reported Sunday.
According to the Times, agents from the Mossad
spy agency and Shin Bet security service, who flew to Bulgaria in the
wake of the bombing, have hurried to try to identify the bomber and his
helpers in an effort to counter any possible threats on Israel’s
delegation to the high-profile event.
A Mossad agent in Bulgaria has reportedly been
in close contact with Britain’s security service about possible
threats. According to the report, special Mossad agents have been
dispatched to capitals around Europe where members of Iran’s Quds Force
are known to be working out of embassies.
