""Israeli officials have confirmed that that "job" for the Mossad
was probably to set up a straw company in Italy that sold electrical equipment
to Iran. In those shipments, intelligence officials add, he could have sent
other equipment necessary for Mossad operations in Iran." "Let's say that you
wanted to plant a bomb on a car. How would you get the explosive material into
the country? Or let's say you wanted to bug something. What better way than to
send in appliances that already carried the bug?" one Western intelligence
official told McClatchy, speaking only on the condition of anonymity because of
the sensitivity of the subject. "Iran depends on these companies, because it is
the only way it can do business around the sanctions, and that makes it
vulnerable." Zygier, with his blond hair, blue eyes and Australian passport,
wouldn't have raised a lot of suspicion.""
