Iran behind 'terrorism' in West Bank: Israeli president |
2004-10-22 |
VIENNA: Iran is behind "terrorism" in the West Bank, visiting Israeli President Moshe Katzav charged Thursday. "Iran is very active in the area of terrorism" and "between 60 and 70 percent of West Bank terrorism is carried out by the Hezbollah (Lebanese Shiite movement) which is financed by Iran," he told the Austrian news agency APA. "Iran is not just a totalitarian state, it also backs terror in the Middle East as well as international terrorism," he added. Katzav, who is on the first-ever visit by an Israeli head of state to Austria, also stressed that Iran's nuclear program was a threat "to Israel and Europe". "Why does Iran need rockets with a range of 3,000 kilometers (1860 miles)? Why does Iran invest in the development of weapons of mass destruction," he rhetorically asked. |

#2 Typical, the Israelis would say that as Iran is next in their scope in order to become a regional power. Suppose they won't let the UN inspect their nuclear facilities! Mossad causes a lot of problems and blame it elsewhere ! |

#1 All the more reason to reduce Iran's exposed nuclear facilities to rubble. |
