 ISRAEL TARGETED FOR NUKE DISARMAMENT |
|
JERUSALEM [MENL] -- The International Atomic Energy Agency, directed by
Arab states and Iran, plans to launch a campaign to force Israel to permit
international inspections of its Dimona nuclear facility.Israeli officials said the campaign was meant to be sparked by a spate
of articles and television documentaries based on information provided by
Israeli nuclear spy Mordechai Vanunu. Vanunu was released from an Israeli
prison on April 21 and has been living in a monastery in Jerusalem."There has been a feeling within the international community that too
much attention has been paid to Iran's nuclear program at the expense of
Israel," a senior Israeli official said. "There is a drive to switch the
focus from Iran to Israel over the next few months by portraying Israel as
an immediate nuclear threat."IAEA director-general Mohammed El Baradei plans to visit Israel over the
next two months, officials said. The visit was expected to take place
following the IAEA board of directors's meeting in mid-June to discuss
Iranian compliance with international nuclear inspection efforts. The United
States has charged that
Teheran has violated its pledge to the IAEA.
