Yes, I agree. I'll start digging around if time permits.

US TO SELL ISRAEL 'BUNKER BUSTERS'


The United States plans to sell Israel $US139 million worth of air-launched bombs, including 500 "bunker busters", able to penetrate Iran's underground nuclear facilities, Israeli security sources say.

The Haaretz newspaper quotes a Pentagon report as saying the planned procurement sought "to maintain Israel's qualitative advantage and advance US strategic and tactical interests".

The US embassy in Israel declines comment and refers questions to Washington.

Israeli officials also have no comment.

But a senior Israeli security source said: "This is not the sort of ordinance needed for the Palestinian front.

"Bunker busters could serve Israel against Iran, or possibly Syria."
