'Secret N-plant Discovered at Al-Zarqan Area'

July 29, 2008

Arab Times

Al-Seyassah

KUWAIT CITY -- A secret nuclear bomb manufacturing center at Al-Zarqan Area in Al-Ahwaziya Region, which was first established in 2000, was discovered recently, highly reliable sources told Al-Seyassah. Sources from Al-Ahwaziya claimed Tehran has started building a secret nuclear plant for manufacturing atomic bombs in Al-Zarqan Area near Al-Ahwaz City in southwest Iran and its border with Iraq.

Sources said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not aware of this plant since it was not included in negotiations with Iran held in Geneva at the beginning of this month. Sources revealed Iran started implementing the project some time between 2000 and 2003, which led to the evacuation of a large number of Arab tribes from the area to Al-Zarqan. Sources added the Tehran administration vacated the location, destroyed all the houses, wells and farms, and started full implementation of the project in 2007.

Disclosing Tehran directed international A-bomb inspectors to other places, sources warned the project poses a very serious threat to international security. Sources affirmed the Iranian authorities built a three-meter high wall around the project site, which allegedly measures thousands of kilometers.

Sources added IAEA inspectors focused on other Iranian nuclear plants, such as Dour Khawain in Al-Ahwaz and Bu Shahri reactor, because the Iranian government diverted the international media’s attention from the secret nuclear plant. Sources asserted the Iranian government is currently working on another nuclear program touted to be more dangerous than Bu Shahri.

Intensified

According to sources, intensified security efforts raised doubts on the legality of the activities in the area, especially after observing a heavy presence of Revolutionary Guards which, sources pointed out, indicates the importance of the area.

Reportedly, Al-Ahwaziya - an Islamic Sunni organization - in coordination with National Society for Arabstan State, started investigations on the activities in the area. The organization allegedly received documents from the company in charge of the project that frequently transports employees to and from the project site. After a thorough investigation, sources said the organization uncovered plans of the Iranian regime to build an A-bomb plant in the area. Attached with a report about the alleged plant are documents from the office of the assistant of Revolutionary Guard Chief in Al-Ahwaz City Brigadier Hassan Jalaliyan — dated April 7, 2008 — and stamped as “highly confidential”. Sources revealed ‘Al-Zarqan Nuclear Reactor’ was the subject of a letter from Jalaliyan to the manager of Mehab Qudus Company for Construction and Supervisory, Mohammed Kayafir.

In the letter, Jalaliyan allegedly asked Kayafir to secretly transport the construction materials from the warehouse to the nuclear reactor center, emphasizing that citizens should not question the purpose and destination of the materials.

Recruit

Jalaliyan has also instructed Kayafir not to recruit Arabic-speaking workers from Khuzestan for the construction of Al-Zarqan Nuclear Reactor. He said employees, including the administration staff, should all be recruited from the northern parts of the country. National Society for Arabstan State took satellite pictures of the location, which looked perfect for the construction of a nuclear reactor. It is near Karoon River which, sources say, will provide water for the project in addition to increasing the capacity of Al-Zarqan Power Plant. The site is more suitable for building a nuclear reactor than Bu Shahri, which is close to American bases and Dour Khuwain Plant located in an open area and an easy target. Al-Zarqan Nuclear Reactor is in the middle of very highly populated areas, making it a very difficult target due to a possibility that the Iranian authorities will use civilians as human shields.

Iranian authorities had also closed the main road between the plant and Karoon River to install main water pipes, sources added.

The French and Germans will consult with Obama and then swing into action to solve the problem. The negotiations will be so tough that Ahmadinnerjacket’s little knees will buckle.

If you look at the google earth screenshot and the image flyfree posted (currently on Arab websites claiming to be some sort of Nuke facility)...you see that the orange boxes hide nothing.

???

Arab incompetence or Arab dishonesty?

You believe Israel will use their nukes in a preemptive strike?

By God, I sincerely hope so!

USS Ohio or one of the other new SSGNs should expend 15-20 Tomohawks on this facility, soonest.

Oh, I almost forgot, Obama will talk sternly to the Iranians and they will dismantle it on their own. [/sarcasm]

They wouldn't need nukes. Conventional ordnance will blow it up REAL good!

Should be easy to check.

My estimation of Iran has fallen a bit with the photoshopped missle launch, and the photos of model airplanes that were supposed to be their air force. Could just all be part of the game, though.

Saw this. Do not have details yet. Funnily enough the MEK (Mojaheddin) might know! Will try to have posted on AntiMullah with a tickler for MEK to respond.

cheers

I’m guessing the don’t mean the square km of the site but rather km of fencing. Iraq’s al Tuwaitha was huge but at most around 100 sq km according to one source. Then again it’s an arab article and they are expected to be at least as innaccurate as our media....
