 Comments
by freed nuclear spy Mordechai Vanunu that Israel was behind the
assassination of US President John F. Kennedy failed to bring smiles to
government officials Sunday.
One would expect that such
claims would portray Vanunu as a man with a credibility problem, but as
far as the defense establishment is concern, the former nuclear
technician still has secrets to reveal and a declared goal of ending
Israel's nuclear program. He shouldn't be talking to the media and is
actually barred from meeting with foreigners.
Nevertheless, the
London-based al-Hayat published Sunday an interview it claims it had
with Vanunu. According to the interview which appeared in its Arabic
supplement Al-Wassat, Vanunu said that according to "near-certain
indications", Kennedy was assassinated due to "pressure he exerted on
then head of government, David Ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona's
nuclear reactor."
"We do not know which
irresponsible Israeli prime minister will take office and decide to use
nuclear weapons in the struggle against neighboring Arab countries,"
Vanunu was quoted as saying. "What has already been exposed about the
weapons Israel is holding can destroy the region and kill millions."
Vanunu also said that the
reactor in Dimona, where he worked, could become a second "Chernobyl."
He said that an earthquake could cause fissures to the core and that
would cause a massive radiation leak threatening millions.
Vanunu warned that Jordan
should test the residents along the border with Israel for exposure to
radiation and give them pills just like Israel decided to do for its
citizens.
Vanunu also criticized the visit to Israel early this month by the head of the Atomic Energy Agency, Mohammed el-Baradei.
"He (Baradei) should have refused to have visited Israel (because) he was not allowed to inspect the nuclear reactor," Vanunu said.
According to al-Hayat, Vanunu now lives "with his Palestinian friends" in east Jerusalem.
It was not clear how al-Hayat
did the interview, which the publication claimed with the first Vanunu
has granted to a newspaper since his release from Ashkelon prison last
April.
Vanunu has been barred from granting interviews to foreign media.
