In the early 1960s, Israeli intelligence became aware of a dastardly plan by Egyptian dictator Colonel Nasser to bombard Israel with ballistic missiles designed by former Nazi V-2 rocket scientists living in Egypt. Some of the missiles would be armed with radioactive waste! Mossad launched Operation ‘Damocles’, a desperate campaign to stop the Egyptian plan from actually being enacted, a plan that included murdering Nasser’s hired Nazis!
