Iran 'warns' Iraq of Israeli agents in Kurdish north
2004-10-03
Note the source, AlJazeera 10-3-04
Iran said Sunday that although it wasn't able to confirm reports that Israeli agents have been operating in the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq, Iraqi officials should "pay attention".
CBS is in need of a few good reporters.. Lets read this 'news' again: Iran said Sunday that although it wasn't able to confirm reports that Israeli agents have been operating in the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq, The Jihad boys at AlJazeera beating the same old drums.
"Regarding the presence of Israeli forces in northen Iraq, we have also heard some things," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.
heard some things?? Wow what reporting this is lolol
"We hope this news is a lie and that Iraqi officials pay attention to the sensitivities of neighbouring countries," he warned, adding the matter was the subject of "protests" by several states on the sidelines of an Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) gathering in Turkey. Although Asefi said "our proof is only based on reports",
lol
he warned that any Israeli presence in northern Iraq "is not something that the Islamic and regional nations would accept, because Israel is an enemy of the region."
Because Iran' mullahs say so ...please
Allegations that Israeli agents have been operating in Iraq's Kurdish areas has been circulating for several months.
(I bet they have with pro-Iranian reporting like this rubbish.)
On Saturday, Mustafa Feki, a leading Egyptian MP charged that Israel had taken advantage of the U.S. war on Iraq and the political turmoil in the country, to deploy large numbers of it agents there to spy on Iran and Syria.
(Somebody has something to they do not others viewing)
"They can deny it all they like but it's the reality,"
(WOW)
said Mustafa Feki, the chairman of the Egyptian parliamentary foreign affairs committee and a leading member of the ruling National Democratic Party of President Hosni Mubarak.

#3  What would the Kurds gain from a nuclear Iran? Nothing. If there is any truth to the allegations, this is the reason why. If Iran goes nuclear, the Kurds in Iran may never regain their freedom.

#1  Actually, I have no doubt that north Iraq is crawling with Israelis, who are not on hostile terms with the Kurds. However, I would also suggest that the Israelis are for the most part just passing through en route to Iran. Didn't they say as much a while back, that air power alone wasn't enough to insure that Iran didn't make nuclear weapons? If it isn't in the air, it's got to be on the ground. In any event, best wishes and godspeed.
