Mossad femme fatale Sylvia Rafael to be buried in Israel

Sylvia Rafael, a legendary Mossad hit woman convicted of mistakenly assassinating a Moroccan waiter in Norway 31 years ago, is to be buried secretly in Israel according to her last wishes.
Rafael, 67, died over the weekend in her native South Africa, reportedly from leukemia.
Little was known of her exploits beyond her part in one of the Mossad's greatest fiascos. In July 1973, Rafael joined a hastily assembled team of agents to track down a man they believed to be Ali Hassan Salameh, the Black September's operation chief in Europe.
It was a time of wholesale vengeance for the Mossad, ordered by then prime minister Golda Meir, against the Palestinians responsible for the massacre of Israel's 11 Olympians at Munich in 1972.
In the lonely Norwegian village of Lillehammer -- host of Winter Olympics 21 years later, the team gunned down a Moroccan waiter called Ahmed Bouchiki in front of his pregnant wife instead of Salameh.

MEANWHILE
Israeli diplomat Amir Lati was apparently ejected from Australia by ASIO for espionage. It has been speculated Lati was chasing women in sensitive positions in an attempt to gather intelligence for his bosses back in Israel, an accusation he denies.

Diplomat Aryeh Sar who was due to replace the alleged Mossad spy in Canberra was reportedly photographed nude with under-age girls when on a posting to Brazil five years ago.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz said the country's foreign ministry is now holding off sending the new consul to Australia.
