The sections starting with the powerplant up to the arrest read like a spy thriller. Just wild.

    The death penalty in Israel is restricted to special circumstances, and only one execution has ever taken place there, which was Adolf Eichmann, who was executed on 1 June 1962 after being abducted from Argentina in 1960 and tried in Israel for his role in the Holocaust.

    That’s got to be updated, unfortunately.

    Holy shit, and the UK has nothing to say about abducting their citizens? Jesus Christ, the UK is weak.
