Mossad Agents in our Midst?

Cafe Nero at London Bridge
Since the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, I've not been able to get the thought out of my head that this sort of "James Bond" shit is actually very real...I read a good bit of background shortly after the news broke which really made me think...especially the comments from author Gordon Thomas, who wrote a book about Mossad agents, specifically the "Kidon" called Gideon's Spies...The kidon, he says, are hand-picked when taking part in compulsory national service, sent into military intelligence and from there receive further training as Mossad agents. They work in big teams, but don't work in isolation, a system of "Sayanim" (support agents) provide help on the ground - a quote again now - "The sayanim can be anywhere around the world. They can rent you a car or own a fast food stall. A sayan will rent a car or pass money to a kidon with no questions asked. Every country has a network of sayanim built from the Jewish community"...

So whenever I pass one of these little stalls now (and they *litter* London), I can't help but wonder...is the person running it just another mild-mannered economic migrant, or are they a highly skilled, ruthless Jewish Sayan (trained in handgun marksmanship, improvised bomb making, poison fabrication and delivery, seduction techniques and methods of killing without leaving a trace)...sitting there, waiting...patiently serving coffee...until the proper order arrives...

"One special latte with extra banana froth and sprinkles please"...*prolonged sinister wink*...
