Israel Plot To Kill Ahmadinejad
Unfolded As Iran Arrests Israel-Linked
Spy Network |
|
|
|
November 24, 2008 Former Israel army chief
of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon
reportedly told an Australian newspaper that
Israel should consider assassinating Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"We have to consider killing him," Ya'alon
told the Sydney Morning Herald. "All options
must be considered."
Ya'alon's aide denied Sunday that the former
chief of staff had made those statements to
the Australian paper.
"He said that Israel needs to defeat the
Iranian regime," the aide said.
There was no comment from the paper.
Last week, Ya'alon announced his candidacy for
the Likud list in the upcoming Knesset
elections. He is being touted as a possible
candidate for defense minister if Likud wins
the elections.
"We have to confront the Iranian revolution
immediately," the paper quoted Ya'alon as
saying. "The Iranian nuclear program must be
stopped.” In another interview with an
Australian paper on Sunday, Ya'alon told The
Australian that even if Israel attacked Iran,
the move would need to be followed up by tough
action to prevent the regime from
rehabilitating itself.
Iran Says Israel-Linked Spy
Network Arrested
Iran's Revolutionary Guards have arrested a
spy network linked to Israeli intelligence who
tried to gather information on Iranian nuclear
and military programs, the guard's chief said
on Monday. "The intelligence bureau of the
Revolutionary Guards Corps has recently
discovered a spy network linked with the
Israeli Mossad," Mohammad Ali Jafari said on
state radio. "The ring was traced back to the
Mossad and all of its operatives have been
arrested." This act, he added, "is a severe
blow to the Mossad," Jafari added. He also
said that all members of the espionage ring
were apprehended and that they had modern
communication gear they admitted they were
trained by Israel to carry out attacks and
murders in Iran. "This network sought to
gather important information from the Guards'
military section, the country's nuclear
centers and some security officials," he said.
"Very good information as well as equipment
that this network were supplied with have been
discovered and people will be informed of the
evidence in the near future," he said.
Jafari did not specify how many people were
detained or where and when the group was
arrested. He said the detainees had confessed
to "being trained in bombing and assassination
in Israel and had bought vehicles and lots of
equipment with Mossad support," the state
broadcaster's website said.
Iran said on Saturday it had hanged an Iranian
telecoms salesman, Ali Ashtari, convicted of
spying for Israel and warned that a "more
serious intelligence war" had begun with the
Jewish state. |
