The Israeli secret service agent who tracked down and captured Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in South America says the United States has no chance of pulling off a similar intelligence coup as it searches for Osama bin Laden. In one of the most audacious intelligence operations in history, former Mossad agent Zvi Aharoni located Mr. Eichmann in hiding in Argentina in 1960, then helped snatch the former Gestapo chief and spirit him back to Israel for trial. But Mr. Aharoni says it is futile for the U.S. to try to capture the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist group, who is believed to be hiding in the hills of Afghanistan.
