This was reported 3 days ago by World Net Daily and yet no word in the MSM. Reports are that over 200 people are trapped deep underground. If this was a covert operation and was successful then this could be the beginning of something big. Kudos for WND being the first to report this.




Sabotage! Key Iranian nuclear facility hit?

Sabotage! Key Iranian nuclear facility hit?

Like it or not (the proliferation of nuclear power in Iran) it is obvious that their arrest of some foreigners on espionage and sabotage charges is not just some insane hysteria on the part of the Iranians but rather it is a real possiblity. One can't blame a nation for defending themselves. Notice that the countries that are most against Iran's nuclear porgram are mostly nations that already have a nuclear capability. That, I find, is a bit hypocritical. The Western powers want to dictate therms but if it was going the other way then we would be crying foul and complaining that other nations have no right to stell us what we can and cannot do.

Obviously here, I am not supporting or opposing Iran's neclear power move....just pointing out a few facts.

An unverified WND report and the OP apparently wants people to believe it? How funny.

Facts?

You're pointing out facts?

But, but, but, but..................................

Won't that get in the way of the war drum beaters?

Yes a nation has a right to defend itself. If Iran wasn't being controlled by insane people with a stated intent to wipe other nations off the map I don't think there'd be such a hullabaloo.
On the other hand we could end up with another North Korea, wouldn't that be grand?

I have no idea and neither do you, but considering your source, that's a high probability.

More than a week later, the report is yet to be verified by a single independent source.

One theory put forward by Shlomo Aronson, an expert in Israeli foreign security policy at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, is that Tehran had deliberately leaked false reports about a blast to prevent international inspectors from entering the site.
