Norway issued an international arrest warrant for an ex-Mossad agent it believes mistakenly killed a Moroccan waiter in Lillehammer in 1973. The warrant calls for the arrest of Michael Harari regarding the shooting of Ahmed Bouchiki, who was killed in a bungled revenge attempt for the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, when Palestinian terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes. The Israeli government, which has refused to accept official responsibility for the shooting, paid compensation to Bouchiki’s family in 1996.
