Iran ‘plans attacks on British nuclear plants’

Iran ‘plans attacks on British nuclear plants’


ran is conducting reconnaissance missions on Britain's nuclear power stations in preparation for retaliatory attacks should the West strike against Tehran's nuclear installations, a European security analyst told MPs yesterday.

The claim from Claude Moniquet, president of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre, a Brussels think tank, came after David Cameron urged stronger international sanctions on Iran to force it to give up its nuclear ambitions. The call from the Conservative leader came amid reports Tehran was forging ties with al Qaeda in Iraq to prepare for a summer fight against coalition forces, and that it was arming Taliban insurgents fighting British troops in Afghanistan.

At a Westminster meeting, Mr Moniquet said his organisation had evidence Tehran had increased its intelligence agents across Europe. "We have serious signals that something is under preparation in Europe. Iranian intelligence is working extremely hard to prepare its people and to prepare actions," he said.

The security analyst said his think tank, which deals with European intelligence agencies, believed Iranian spies had carried out "reconnaissance of targets in European cities, including nuclear power stations". He added that Tehran appeared to be preparing to target "British citizens on the streets of London just as they kill British soldiers in the south of Iraq".

One of the MPs at the meeting, Patrick Mercer, the former Shadow Homeland Security minister, told The Herald that he believed the UK was in effect in an "undeclared war" with Iran given its activities in Iraq.

'Reconnaissance'?! I've just been looking at detailed satellite and map images of Capenhurst, and the biological weapons research facility at Porton Down on Google Maps.

Riiight... like some Iranians have flown into the UK on a passenger plane at some point in time, and it wasn't to have a holiday... it was to look at a nuclear power station and go "that's where we fly the plane Muhammed". :lol:

It's not 1929 anymore, we have these things called satellites, I'm pretty sure the Iranians have access to them too. :lol:

Billp, I understand you're trying to get some kind of point across, but posting this in every thread is not the proper way to go about it. You'll end up on a lot of people's ignore lists.

Just start a thread about what you want to talk about and we'll see you there, no need to spam it across every other thread.

Regards.

If Iran could avoid attacking Sellafield or Wylfa, I'd really appreciate it.

The Arab nuclear genie is out of the bottle and getting busy

Unread postby Zardoz » Sat 26 May 2007, 13:53:19

You can't blame 'em. They all feel they have no choice but to join the nuclear club:

Arabs make plans for nuclear power

As Iran races ahead with an illicit uranium enrichment effort, nearly a dozen other Middle East nations are moving forward on their own civilian nuclear programs. In the latest development, a team of eight U.N. experts on Friday ended a weeklong trip to Saudi Arabia to provide nuclear guidance to officials from six Persian Gulf countries.

Diplomats and analysts view the Saudi trip as the latest sign that Iran's suspected weapons program has helped spark a chain reaction of nuclear interest among its Arab rivals, which some fear will lead to a scramble for atomic weapons in the world's most volatile region.


Wheeeeeeee!!!
