The Jewish state wants the world to act. If diplomacy fails, Israel warns that it knows how to work alone. "Israel has many, many capabilities," says Danny Yatom, a former head of Mossad, Israel's international intelligence agency.

And since then one can imagine that we've improved our capabilities." Posted by: .com 2004-08-28 |
