UAE FEARS LEAKAGE FROM IRAN’S N-REACTOR

(AFP)

DUBAI — Interior Minister Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan voiced fears yesterday of a leakage from neighbouring Iran’s planned nuclear reactor.



“The danger poised by Bushehr nuclear reactor is that it is unpredictable, while protection is practically impossible,” Shaikh Saif told AFP.

“All kinds of detection (of leakage) from a distance would not help to protect against any kind of leakage from this reactor, due to the high-speed movement of the radiation” he added.

Iran, with Russian help, is building a nuclear reactor on its Gulf coast but is facing world pressure over its nuclear work amid fears it is seeking to build weapons.

leaking radiation + easy access to US ports + documented support for terrorists = dirty suitcase bombs. Boy, I sure feel safer, thanks a lot, Bushco.

4. Oh, oh, but the article goes on to enlighten us on how the UAE
has been so very effective in avoiding terrorists from setting up shop, how they've done it by having a "centrist", humane government......etc. etc.
