Photo: DPAIsrael's vaunted Mossad missed at least two chances to capture Nazi fugitive Dr Josef Mengele, who sent hundreds of thousands of Jews to their death at Auschwitz, a former agent said Tuesday. Rafi Eitan, who commanded the audacious capture in 1960 of top Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Argentina, said that during the hunt he and his team discovered Mengele's hideout. "At the same time as we caught Eichmann, Mengele was living in Buenos Aires. "Mengele wasn't at home and the neighbours said he would be back in a week," Eitan continued. "We waited a week but in the meantime his (Eichman's) capture was announced to the world and Mengele never returned to his apartment in Buenos Aires."
