Two Palestinian students were arrested, tried, and sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to cause the blast. Yet, according to classified MI5 intelligence, Mossad — Israel’s own foreign intelligence agency — orchestrated the attack.
Former MI5 officer “G91,” the lead investigator, reviewed all available evidence and covert intelligence, concluding officially that Mossad staged the bombing for two key reasons:
To pressure British authorities into tightening security around Israeli assets in London — something MI5 had previously resisted.
To dismantle a Palestinian political support network operating in the UK, to which the two convicted students belonged.
The bombing bore hallmarks of high-level sophistication, including a self-consuming explosive device that destroyed forensic evidence — technology even the IRA couldn’t match at the time.
The case mirrored an earlier 1994 bombing against Jewish interests in Buenos Aires, sharing a similar modus operandi. While the official MI5 assessment was never made public in court, it stands as one of the most striking examples of alleged false-flag operations in modern intelligence history.
This video examines the evidence, the political motives, and the global fallout from a story that today might be dismissed as conspiracy — but was, according to MI5’s own lead investigator, the agency’s official position at the time.
