The Crown Prosecution Service was forced by the Court of Appeal yesterday to admit that the former MI5 officer, David Shayler, was right in saying that the security services were warned before the 1994 car bombing of the Israeli embassy in London that the building was being targeted by a terrorist organisation. [...] He also referred to suspicions that the Israeli secret service, Mossad, carried out the bombing to provoke the UK into tightening its security.[...].
