=== Lillehammer Affair ===
On July 21, 1973 in Lillehammer, Norway the Mossad conducted an assassination of an innocent Moroccan waiter they falsely believed to have been responsible for the [[Black September]] terrorist attacks. This was done in front of his pregnant wife.<ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2000/mar/02/israel</ref> The Israeli government has refused to claim responsibility for the murder, though they provided compensation to the victim's family. <ref>http://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/28/world/world-news-briefs-israelis-to-compensate-family-of-slain-waiter.html</ref>
