| Mossad chief threatens Iran, Arab states aiming to attain weapons of mass destruction |
| 2002-06-27 |
| Israel cannot spare any effort to foil, prevent or delay the attainment of weapons of mass destruction by states like Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya, the head of Israel's Mossad said Wednesday in a rare speech. Speaking to a meeting of NATO's North Atlantic Council in Brussels, Mossad chief, Ephraim Halevy, warned that Islamic terrorism as a whole, and suicide attacks in particular, pose a "formidable threat" to NATO member states whose "Muslim communities are rapidly developing and increasing in numbers and influence." Halevy took the opportunity to harshly criticize Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, who he said signs "an agreement with a view to violating it the moment circumstances would permit." The Palestinian leader is also maintaining his "traditional link" with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Halevy was quoted as saying by Haaretz. Ummm... That sounds about right. So why hasn't Mossad caused him to have a "heart attack" yet? |
