Today's Contribution to World Peace
Olivier Guitta at the Counterterrorism Blog notes that Iran was caught trying to smuggle radioactive material into its country last week:Agence France Presse reported that Bulgaria had stopped at its border with
Romania a truck filled with radiocative material destined to Iran.
According to Serguei Tstatchev, head of the Bulgarian Nuclear Control Agency,
the truck rented by a British company and Turkish registration was on its way to
Istanbul and then Tehran. It contained radioactive material including
cesium and its radiocative rate was 200 times the normal rate.
In other news, the president of Iran continues to engage in a letter-writing campaign. His latest penpal? Angela Merkel.
A German government official gave Reuters more details of the letter, on
condition of anonymity.
"It talks about how both Germany and Iran have been
victims of historical developments," he said. "It also says 'we have to find a
solution to the Palestinian problems and Zionism' and so on. It's rather weird,"
he added.
So let's do a quick recap of Iran's (known) activities of the last 2 weeks:
- attempted to smuggle radioactive material into the country from eastern Europe
- instructed its wholly owned subsidiary terror group to attack Israel, sparking a regional conflict
- sent a letter to Germany in which it proposes the resumption of the "final solution" towards Jews after a 60 year hiatus
- suggested on a daily basis that Israel has no right to exist (while simultaneously denying any involvement in the current conflict)
