LIBYAN INSPECTIONS POINT TO NUKE TIES WITH EGYPT
IMRA ^ | March 29, 2004 | MENL

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has found evidence that Libya traded nuclear and missile expertise with Egypt.

Inspections by a British-U.S. team of Libyan facilities in late 2003 and early 2004 have uncovered evidence that Libya was both the source for and recipient of nuclear and missile technology and expertise from Egypt. Officials said the evidence confirmed suspicions over the last three years of a secret trade between Cairo and Tripoli in strategic weapons obtained from North Korea.

"The evidence of Egyptian involvement in Libya's missile and nuclear weapons program is highly damaging and most of the doubts we had previously have been resolved," an official said. "That doesn't mean, however, that there will be imminent repercussions."

The officials did not elaborate on the type of evidence found in Libya. But they said Egypt appeared to have been using Libya as a way-station for obtaining nuclear and missile technology and components from North Korea.

We must end military aid to Egypt. Egypt didn't sign a peace treaty with Israel. It was simply a cease-fire. They have been rearming for a future agressive war ever since, and nowadays support PLO terrorist weapon smuggling.

Debka was all over this in 2002

http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=229

Pyongyang has its hand in nuclear programs and missile technology transfers with several Middle Eastern countries, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iran and Iraq. Step by step, its engineers and technology have been quietly investing in the Libyan-Egyptian al Kufra nuclear center (where Iraqi nuclear scientists are also employed); its long-range missile components are assembled in Egyptian factories near Alexandria, Syria’s medium-range missile assembly plant and chemical and biological weapons laboratories near Hama in the north use North Korean components and technology and, as we reported last month, North Korea transferred nuclear manufacturing facilities, including uranium enrichment equipment, to secret Iranian sites at Natanz and Arak. These are all multibillion projects.

In mid-October 2002, DEBKA-Net-Weekly and DEBKAfile first exposed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program’s strong bonds to the Middle East. We also reported that Pyongyang had long since shifted major parts of its weapons production and nuclear enrichment processing from Yongbyon to secret sites in Iran and Libya. More than 400 Iraqi nuclear scientists and technicians were found by our sources to be employed in Libya’s underground complex at al Kufra Oasis, where costs are covered mainly by Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

and in Oct 2003 DEBKA wrote:

One of largest nuclear sites in world operates under Libya’s al Kufra desert oasis opposite Egypt’s Aswan Dam, staffed with 400 Iraqi scientists and technicians sent by Saddam, 150 North Koreans, funded from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria.

We've been paying money to Egypt, as blackmail, to prevent Israel from ENDING the muslim threat worldwide.

I would like to see some UNILATERAL actions taken.

Mubarak.
Another islamiscum, PRETENDING to be an "Islam is peace" moderate.

there are no arab "friends" out there, no Islamic "friends" out there, only those who are scared shirtless that we will yassinate them. THOSE are the peaceful ones, the ones crushed under the brute force of cultural decimation or threat thereof.

the only difference between the peaceful ones and the MAJORITY terrorist islamics, is that the latter have a box of nails and a stick of dynamite. Given those materials only, the "peaceful ones" instantly become radicalized.

They work just like instant coffee, just add a few boxes of nails or a little c-4, instead of water.
