Als het koppel het doelwit niét was en het een "lukrake" schietpartij was, zou het toch wel een ongelooflijk toeval zijn dat de moordenaar nét een Israëlisch koppel treft, en dan nog één met banden met de Israëlische inlichtingendiensten.....

Tja, da's wel waar. In Israël verscheen net dit:

Report: Brussels Attack Possible 'Targeted' Hit on Israelis

Writing in Haaretz, defense analyst Amir Oren said that although Miriam and Emmanuel Riva had in the past worked for the government, they were bookkeepers rather than spies.

"Both were accountants who were employed separately by government bodies," he said, describing their tools as "numbers and computers, not cloaks and daggers."

"Still, it’s possible that the murder in Brussels was not a hate crime or an anti-Semitic attack, but a targeted assault... a battle in a covert war, though perhaps there was a mis-identification of the intended victims."

Haaretz said Emmanuel Riva had worked in the finance ministry as well as at an organization called Nativ which was founded in the 1950s to covertly encourage Jewish education in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and to drive immigration to Israel.

Miriam Riva worked for an unspecified "government agency," the paper said.

"There, and also when she was stationed at one of the agency’s missions in Europe, her post was solely administrative."

Contacted by Agence France Presse, the Israeli defense ministry denied the couple had been in their employ, while the prime minister's office declined to comment on the report.
