Not "Hacking a journalist to pieces is bad". Not "Let's hope they don't murder anyone else". But "Next time, come to us; we're shit hot at killing people" Also, this seems to be an admission (of what everyone knows already) that Israel was behind the various murders of Iranian nuclear scientists and other targets. Given it's in the fraudian, I'm going to guess this is the permitted version of everything but still some interesting reading. |
