| Report: Israel has plan to strike Iranian nuclear facilities | |
| 2003-10-12 | |
Israel has prepared plans for a pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear sites in order to halt the latter's progress towards attaining nuclear weapons, a German magazine says in its Monday edition. A special unit of the Mossad received an order two months ago to prepare a detailed plan to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. According to the report, the Mossad's plan is ready and has been delivered to the Israeli Air Force, which will carry out the raid. The German magazine said its source is an Israeli fighter-bomber pilot, who said the plan to take out Iran's nuclear sites was complex, yet manageable. The paper added that Israel knows Iran has six nuclear sites, all of which would be attacked simultaneously by Israeli jets. The German paper added that the Mossad believes Iran has reached an advanced stage in its nuclear development program and is capable of producing enriched uranium, a vital ingredient of nuclear bombs. The report went on to say that three of Iran's nuclear sites were totally unknown to the outside world.

| #6 If such a plan is in place and carried out, it'd be nice to ensure that the job is complete by executing a coordinated Tomahawk strike after the initial action, no? ;) |

| #5 OP - would be nice, huh? "See, that's the trouble when you mix anti-israel threats with improper handling of enriched uranium....*boom*!" |

| #4 We need to start actively subverting their regime I think Israel has beat us to the punch, Frank, and with a whole handful of spades! The IAF doesn't have to penetrate Iranian airspace to hit their targets in Iran. They have much the same standoff capability we do, but theirs is independently developed, and probably works as well or better. Look for some "sudden explosions" in and around several Iranian cities sometime in the next week or two... |

| #3 I am sure that the Israelis have been making plans and modifying them since the ground was cleared at Bushehr and other places. This "leak" is just for the |

| #2 I am shocked -- totally shocked -- to think that Israel would have just issued the order to prepare such a plan two months ago. The very idea that they would have waited that long is outrageous. The story thus lacks credibility. |
