| Iran Says Three Arab Countries Let Israel Use Their Air Space To Strike In Sudan |
| 2012-11-07 |
| [Times of Israel] Tehran's foreign minister says countries were told in advance of last month's attack on Khartoum munitions factory Three Arab countries allowed Israeli jets to fly through their airspace prior to attacking a military factory last month near Khartoum, Sudan, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi charged on Monday. Arab countries "knew about the Israeli operation before it was carried out," Salehi told Kuwaiti newspaper Al Watan. "The planes flew over three countries I won't name," he said. A direct route from Israel to Sudan would not necessarily require overflying three countries, but rather could solely involve Egypt. An attack from the east, which Sudan said is what happened, might involve a route including Jordan, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... , and Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age. ... The alleged October 24 attack in Sudan resulted in the destruction of the Yarmouk Complex, and the Sudanese Minister of Information Ahmed Belal Osman blamed Israel for the strike. Israel made no public comment. Belal said "four planes coming from the east" that "used sophisticated technology" carried out an Sudan has threatened to retaliate against Israeli interests. |

| #2 The Egyptian route might have been closer but Egypt is now ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood. As for this information, did Jarrett provide it to the Iranians as a confidence building measure or was that an act of pre-election revenge on Israel? |
