Mossad losing their touch. In the old days they would have garroted the mayor and all the fireman before making their escape in the fire engine.

Driving a Ford Focus into a muddy field, I thought these guys are supposed to be the best in the world?!

I'm surprised the German police let them on their way with guns in hand. I don't think the Israelis would be reciprocating if they caught armed German spies in their own backyard.

And they say the Germans haven't got a sense of humour.

Why would they be spying on their allies?

The same reason any country, or company, spies. To get information/technology that they aren't supposed to get.

Are you really that naive?

Everyone is spying on everyone. Hi NSA.

Everyone spies on their allies unless they have an agreement not to. The most well know agreement would be the 5 eyes one of the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Yeah very strange, I wonder did they notify any higher ups?

Am I the only one who thinks that €1200 is a hefty bill for getting your car towed!

They just ask their big cousins the Americans for it

Mossad carried out a hit on Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in Dubai in 2010. 26 suspects were identified from CCTV and put on Interpol's most wanted list. They were travelling on fake passports, some of them Irish.

Some of the 26 people might have been included in error but lets say that half that number is accurate, 13 agents to kill one person? And be dumb enough to get caught on CCTV.

Hardly the work of the best spies in the world.

Now the Irish Secret Service, they are really good. When was the last time one of them got caught on a mission. :pac:

Not if it's being towed from Germany to Israel. :cool:

Hugo Stiglitz · 09-03-2016 05:19PM

Mossad aren't really the people to be annoying by sending them bills. They could slit your throat and make it look like a shaving accident.

EDIT: I love Mossad. I also need to shave. I don't want to have any nicks. Thanks guys!

How would papers from a foreign government allow its agents to carry guns in another country?

Alerting the police, officers arrived on the scene to discover that the pair had driven their car into mud and could not get it out again. The spies then revealed to the law enforcement officers that they were acting on the authority of the Israeli government, supplying the papers that proved they were allowed to carry weapons.

Menas · 09-03-2016 05:24PM

Did they give the german police the address of their secret Head quarters? Pfft....amateurs.

Probably attached to the embassy, diplomatic immunity I presume.

Yeah, another news article says that they had "diplomatic status" from the Israeli government.

TheHillOfDoom · 09-03-2016 05:42PM

What are you doing here?

We're spying on ye.

Oh, ok.

TheHillOfDoom · 09-03-2016 05:43PM

Have to say, the woman who rumbled them would be a good spy herself.

I think Patrick Bergin and his brother ran into a bit of bother back in the early 90's while on a mission.

Bill is based on the size and wealth of the organization being billed, Herr Deissmen wouldn't be charged the same ..

I can see that I did well that year a local farmer towed me out of the carpark at electric picnic for 30 beans. It didn't feel like it at the time though.

Was probably the same year I was there in that case, that chap must have made a killing as I was dragged out by him also.

Weren't mossad lads rumbled here in 2005?

recylingbin · 09-03-2016 05:55PM

Hollywood already looking into making a movie about this. The working title is 'from Prussia with shove'

Nodin · 09-03-2016 05:56PM

This is from the organisation that captured Eichmann...............

"Undercover and seemingly under orders from the Israeli government to report on a new German submarine that was making its maiden voyage through the Kiel Canal, the Mossad spies drove their rented Ford Focus into a field which had been marked with an ‘Entrance Forbidden’ post, according to NDR.

Alerting the police, officers arrived on the scene to discover that the pair had driven their car into mud and could not get it out again. The spies then revealed to the law enforcement officers that they were acting on the authority of the Israeli government, supplying the papers that proved they were allowed to carry weapons."

I'd imagine much humour in Israel from this though.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy · 09-03-2016 06:31PM

Speculation. The lads just identified themselves as Israeli diplomats, it was the locals who labelled them as Mossad agents. Best of luck getting that invoice collected, seeing as it'd be an admittance that they were working on behalf of the intelligence agency.

Mossad get stuck in the mud in Germany.
