Former Mossad agent Rafi Eitan hinted in an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel magazine that Israel may abduct Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in order to bring him before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
"It could very well be that a leader such as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suddenly finds himself before the International Criminal Court in The Hague," the Minister for Pensioners' Affairs told the German publication in an interview published Monday.
In an interview surrounding Eitan's recent revelation that The Mossad agents who kidnapped Nazi mastermind Adolf Eichmann from Argentina in 1960, which he led, knowingly let the notorious death camp doctor Josef Mengele get away, the 81-year-old minister was asked whether the Mossad still hunts Nazi war criminals. In response, Eitan said "that era is over. But that's not to say that such operations are completely a thing of the past."
Asked what he meant by that, the former Mossad agent hinted at the possibility that Ahmadinejad could be abducted, as the Nazi war criminals had been, and placed before the international court.
The interviewer asked Eitan whether he was serious, to which he answered "absolutely. Those who spread poison and want to eradicate another people have to expect such consequences."
