US Smuggles Nuclear Materials into Iraq
This just in from The Tehran Times.
U.S. Trucks Carrying Radioactive Materials Intercepted In Iraq-Kuwait Border
TEHRAN (MNA) -Ð The UAE-based daily Al-Khaleej reported on Monday that
Kuwaiti tariff officials have intercepted a truck loaded with
radioactive materials in the Iraq-Kuwait border.
The daily quoted informed sources as saying that the radioactive
control team from KuwaitÕs Health Ministry discovered that one of the
trucks belonging to the U.S.-led coalition forces was carrying heavy
radioactive materials trucks. The trucks were headed for Iraq.
The daily said that such materials could only enter a country when
there is permission from related bodies while the materials were
secretly being carried to Iraq.
Security forces stressed that no contamination had been caused by the
material.
The MNA reported for the first time the coalition forcesÕ suspicious
transfer of WMD parts from Kuwait to Southern Iraq by trucks.
The possible presence of WMD in Iraq and its likely nuclear programs
were the main U.S. pretext for attacking the country.
However, their failure to find weapons of mass destruction in the
country and the continuing turmoil in Iraq questioned the legitimacy
of the U.S. war against Iraq and their presence in the country.
