All sings hint at the fact that this is a classic Mossad operation. The MO of a drive-by, close range, shooting or small explosive, is classic Mossad - and has been used in the past.

That said, DEBKAfile is a dubious source of educated speculation - at best. It is not considered a news source, and it does not operate by any standard. They publish mere theories which are loosely backed by hard facts.

It does make a good read, though - I'll give them that.

That MO sounds familiar. I had no idea there were so many Mossad operations in south central LA.

Levity aside - this MO is not common in the Middle East. This is not your typical gang-war drive-by shooting.

No one claimed it was. There are a lot more potential culprits than the Mossad, though, and plenty of folks in the region who'd be quite happy to have the Mossad blamed for something that benefits them (as the diplomatic cables detailing the Arab nations' opinions on Iran have shown).
