Devastating Explosion At Key Iranian Nuclear Facility Confirmed By London Times
The Inquisitir ^ | 1/29/2013

Posted on 02/04/2013 2:04:58 PM PST by EBH

According to the London Times, the arch Conservatives at World Net Daily finally got one right. On Friday, WND reported the destruction of Iran’s top secret uranium enrichment facility at the Fordow nuclear installation. Fordow, buried deep under ground, is reported to have completely collapsed in a massive explosion, trapping 200 workers in the ruins of the facility.

WND published a report on the explosion written by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard officer and CIA agent named Reza Kahlili, An author of several alarmist books and dozens of articles, Kahlili claims Iran intends to bring about a nuclear apocalypse in order to create an Islamic paradise on earth. For months now, critics have ridiculed his writings and claimed that WND is not a reliable source for news.

However on Monday, reports began to circulate in the mainstream media that there might be something to the story. Finally the London Times published an article confirming the story, citing Israeli intelligence officials in Tel Aviv, who discussed the story with the British newspaper.

“An explosion is believed to have damaged Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, which is being used to enrich uranium, Israeli intelligence officials have told The Times. Sources in Tel Aviv said yesterday that they thought the explosion happened last week. The Israeli Government is investigating reports that it led to extensive structural damage and 200 workers had been trapped inside.

I suspect Mossad could shift their attention to domestic US Moslem terrorists, like the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, should circumstances require.

Wasn’t the 0bama regime claiming late last week that there was no explosion? I guess our “intelligence” agencies may be too busy checking up on Americans to keep an eye on our enemies.

The NY Slimes knew it was true.

But then again, they didn’t consider the news “fit to print”.

After all, they had to print that article about a man agonizing over whether or not to get his schwanztuker cut, and other mods done so that he could be as ugly as Lady Gaga.

“I suspect Mossad could shift their attention to domestic US Moslem terrorists, like the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, should circumstances require.”

I didn’t see that.

I didn’t see that even the tenth time I read it and chuckled.

I gotta go read the article, but there are a lot of qualifiers in the above;

“An explosion is believed to have damaged”

“that they thought the explosion happened last week.”

“The Israeli Government is investigating reports “

What’s Arabic for “it done blowed up” ?

Will be interesting to see if this was penetrating ordnance, smuggled explosives, explosive gas, or a kinetic event with the centrifuges, or whatever?

My money goes with the smuggled ordinance. The Mossad via Saudi Arabia.

Taken from the article:

“recent satellite photos show a rather extensive hole in the ground where a large building used to exist.”

Only if it’s in Israel’s best interests. Given the large number of American Jews who hate Israel and voted for the Muslim, I can’t imagine Israel giving a rip about the terrorist at 1600 Penn.

The bankers of the City in the UK say: no need to do anything about Iran building nukes. So what else is new?

I think this story needs to be in “Breaking News.”

The headline is so misleading. Nothing has been ‘confirmed’. The London Times has NOT confirmed it. All they have is speculation by a source in ‘Israeli Intelligence’ that maybe it happened. Maybe.
I hope it did. But I wish they would stop citing hearsay as ‘proof’. Thus far there is NO proof. It seems to me that something of such magnitude underground would have been detected seismically if it was that powerful.
Maybe some Freeper with knowledge of whether or not this should/could have been a registered seismic event could explain why or why not.
