One of the many things I love abut the Israelis is their no nonsense approach to their security. Now that this has been leaked, I wonder if the Syrian 'expert' is going to live to see his next birthday?

Mossad reportedly used a Trojan to hack into a Syrian official's laptop while he stayed in a London hotel.The information extracted was used to plan a bombing raid at a suspected nuclear reactor facility in Syria, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports.
The air raid on the partly-constructed Syrian nuclear facility in September 2007 took place a year after the unnamed Syrian official left his unattended laptop in his room in a hotel in Kensington, London. The government worker was already under surveillance by Mossad agents, who used his absence to plant the Trojan in order to extract data from the compromised PC.
