Israel’s secret service warns of Iranian terror plans against Jewish institutions in Europe before the Olympic Games. Criminal groups are said to be involved.
According to media reports, Israel’s foreign intelligence service Mossad is warning of Iran’s support for terror attacks against Jewish and Israeli institutions before the Olympic Games in Paris. Israeli media reported that, according to the Mossad, Tehran is relying on criminal groups in Europe. The allegations cannot be independently verified.
The Jerusalem Post named two groups called Foxtrot and Rumba. They were “directly responsible for violent activism and sponsoring terrorism in Sweden and across Europe.” They had received financial support and instructions from Iran.
Iran is said to be behind incidents in Brussels and Stockholm
According to Mossad, Iran is behind an incident in which a man is said to have thrown an airsoft grenade in the direction of the Israeli embassy in the Brussels municipality of Uccle just under a week ago. This also applies to shots fired near the Israeli embassy in Stockholm two weeks ago. There were no casualties in either incident.
According to Mossad information, Foxtrot is behind the incident in Sweden. The group is otherwise known for murders and drug trafficking and is also active in other European countries. According to reports, the leader of Foxtrot, a Swedish citizen with Kurdish roots, was arrested in Iran for criminal activism and then recruited for terrorist activities and released.
Is Iran using the wave of anti-Semitism to recruit helpers?
According to Mossad, Iran is trying to use the global wave of anti-Semitism in the wake of the Gaza war to recruit new accomplices for terrorist attacks. Mossad is working with European intelligence services to thwart these activities.
Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Israel has been Iran’s declared arch-enemy. This year, a court in Buenos Aires held the Iranian government responsible for a bomb attack on the Jewish community center in the Argentine capital in which 85 people were killed and 300 others injured 30 years ago. The Shiite militia Hezbollah carried out the attack on the orders of the Iranian government, the judges ruled in April. According to media reports, they also held Iran responsible for an attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 in which 29 people were killed.
