>>Not quite crazy - the Israelis have a history in staging attacks that would be attributed to Arabs. Go back to 1949, Hotel King David (or something to that effect), and the gunning of a US ship.

Straight from paragraph one of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_Bombing:"The King David Hotel bombing (July 22, 1946) was a bombing attack against the British government of Palestine by members of Irgun — a militant Zionist organization.
Members of the Irgun, dressed as Arabs, set off a bomb in the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, ... "
I suppose they were dressed as Arabs so everyone would think the Norwegians did it. The article is probably revised, because last time I read it, there was something about Irguna planning to cast the blame on Palestinians.
Also, in case of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_Incident, it looks like a failed attempt to blame Egypt.
