The part that really got me is the one regarding the photos that Israeli agents captured from Othman's laptop in Vienna. This looks like the surface of a deeper story -- why was a top diplomatic agent carrying highly classified information lacking basic training on data security? Or why did his staff let him use an unsecured/unencrypted computer? Assuming he had no use for these pictures in Vienna, why was he carrying them to a place where attacks from foreign agents are expected? Why weren't top diplomatic agents and people trusted with state secrets issued clean (and secured) laptops before traveling abroad?
The way it was described precludes a Evil Maid Attack unless, of course, they had previous access to the same laptop. A lot of very interesting questions remain.
