first Arab atomic bomb The West warns first Arab atomic bomb The West warns


Sunday Nov 05 2006.

Media and political circles have rushed to respond to the announcement of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about the desire of many Arab countries, among which Algeria, to have access to nuclear technology for development purposes.




They qualified it by having pure regional dimensions in connection with Iran nuclear issue and warned that the first Arab atomic bomb is to be made.

Mr. Tomihiro Tanigushi, IAEA Deputy Director and Head of Department of Nuclear Safety and Security revealed that some Arab countries: Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, have showed interest in the using the nuclear energy for development purposes.

In a statement to weekly “Middle East Economic Digest”, he said that “the Agency has made primary discussions with these countries governments and that a consultative technical program is to be offered to them to assist them in studies aimed at building energy facilities.” Western countries are anxious and refuse the idea of Arabs benefiting from any technology of the like.

Although the IAEA has confirmed the pacific nature of such programs, the British “Times”, which added Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates to the list of countries interested in such pacific and declared technology, warned from the quick proliferation of nuclear reactors in one of the most destabilized areas of the world and from fears that the intentions of these countries are to obtain nuclear technology needed to produce the first Arab atomic bomb
