Particularly interesting story, because it explains the sudden ban on laptop batteries from certain Middle East countries a few months ago. Apparently Israel had penetrated the ISIS bombmakers, who were able to conceal bombs in laptop batteries.

This revelation, assuming it is true, should be of special interest to HN, where there was a debate about the cause and merits of the ban.

Also, apparently, this is one of the things Trump told the Russian minister in their celebrated meeting recently.
