Report: Israel Planned 1991 Strike on North Korea-Syria Missile Ship (AFP)
Israeli agents prepared to strike a ship carrying 23 Scud missiles from North Korea to Syria in 1991 but cancelled it at the 11th hour under U.S. pressure, the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported Wednesday. In February 1991, during the first Gulf War, agents of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency secretly swam underneath the ship and attached a system to guide an airstrike.
