I said:

Another theory is that the spies tracked Al Qaeda (fact), knew of the plan (theory), but failed to warn officials (theory) because they perceived the result would be in their national interest (fact).

You clipped off the beginning part:

Another theory is that the spies tracked Al Qaeda (fact)

And you stated:

You're saying that's a theory, and then labeling it a fact. Which is it?

Obviously, I was labeling the entire sentence as a theory. I then labeled individual parts as fact or theory. Would you prefer I write it in crayon for you? -g-

Having said that, what noteworthy circumstance remains to make one believe that they were spies?

--- the fact that they were IDed as Israeli military
--- they were carrying the multiple passports, lots of cash, etc.
--- they were movers, the same cover as some of the other Israeli spies
