...previous Administrations. What he failed to mention, however, is that the great majority of the missions were undertaken by the FBI without the knowledge or approval of either the President or the Attorney General.

Israel's Attorney General Meir Shamgar says the new law amplifies the principle of extraterritorial jurisdiction, present in Palestine law since the Ottoman Empire and an integral part of legal systems derived from the Napoleonic Code.
