If it can be proven that Russia or China have been using these weapons on US diplomats I hate to think what the consequences could be

I'm obviously over-simplifying this but I don't reckon he padlocked himself into the bag.

Seems like whoever did it was trying to send a message. I suspect the authorities know who did it but dont want the information to come to light.

If it was a case of not being able to read,
Then i wouldnt have made any kind of mention .
I have nothing to gian by besmirching the country

It is possible the news source was rapidly updated &
Corrected to make sure no mention of 🇮🇱 was made .

Remember Sid pointed out Myles Judd played left midfield for Barnet
According to the BBC page reporting there games.

Ive been following the story, i don't remember Israel being mentioned at all.

Why would the bbc be 'told to withdraw it'?

Very scary and feel sorry for those poor diplomatic staff affected by this weapon.
Hope they do not suffer long time affects of this awful weapon.
Mans inhumanity to man.

I have no idea , other than someone may have made a mistake . It is possible i made a mistake ,
But i dont see why i would throw 🇮🇱 in as part
Of my own reading experience .
I have an active imagination , but it wouldnt
be a reason to put it in this news story .

What i said was while reading the story it mentioned
Countries thought to develop new technolgies .
Israel the U.S China & Russia were mentioned ..

The story was published some 15 minutes
Previously at the time .

I then happened to re-read the post
Which you linked & no mention of 🇮🇱
was made in the story as is .

If you want dirt on Israel, you should look at the recent story about an israeli company developing spyware for govts to snoop on people, journalists etc.

I don't believe anything that can be construed as anti-Israel until COYOS confirms it to be correct.
