"The French general said the scientists hunted by Israel are the same
ones who were listed by U.N. weapons inspectors for interviews during their
mandate in Iraq .."
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM - Some 150 Israeli commandoes are currently inside
Iraq on a mission to assassinate 500 Iraqi scientists, a retired French
general told the French TV Channel 5 on Friday, April 18.
He asserted that Israel was seeking to liquidate 500 Iraqi armament
scientists who were involved in the country's biological, chemical and
nuclear weapons, reported the Israeli Maariv newspaper which carried the
news.
The French general, who was not identified, said the scientists hunted by
Israel are the same ones who were listed by U.N. weapons inspectors for
interviews during their mandate in Iraq which was terminated two days before
the unleashing of the U.S.-led war on March 20.
The Israeli commandoes might be operating within the ranks of the American
Marines now occupying Iraq, said the French general, without elaborating on
how they managed to sneak into the war-ravaged country.
Brigadier General Vincent Brooks, spokesman of the U.S. Central Command war
headquarters in As-Sayliya, Qatar, had repeatedly said the U.S.-led war was
seeking, beside toppling Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, to eliminate the
country's capabilities in developing biological, chemical and nuclear
weapons.
Appealing to the world community to protect them from the U.S. aggression
aimed at obliterating Iraq's minds, a number of Iraqi scientists and
university professors had sent an SOS e-mail complaining American occupation
forces were threatening their lives.
In their e-mail, a copy of which was sent to
www.IslamOnline.net Friday,
April 11, they asserted that occupation troops demanded them, particularly
physicists, chemists and mathematicians, to hand over all documents and
researches in their possession.
American forces had, in this respect, gate-crashed the house of Iraqi
scientist Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, dubbed Mrs. Anthrax by the Americans.
Mrs. Ammash's picture and name were listed by the U.S. Central Command as
one of 55 most-wanted Iraqis.
