Egyptian paper: Israel-India nuke test caused tsunami

The earthquake that struck the Indian Ocean on December 26, triggering a series of huge waves called tsunami, "was possibly" caused by an Indian nuclear experiment in which "Israeli and American nuclear experts participated," an Egyptian weekly magazine reported Thursday.

According to Al-Osboa', India, in its heated nuclear race with Pakistan, has lately received sophisticated nuclear know-how from the United States and Israel, both of which "showed readiness to cooperate with India in experiments to exterminate humankind."

Since 1992, the magazine argued, leading geological centers in Britain, Turkey and other countries, warned of the need "not to hold nuclear experiments in the region of the Indian Ocean known as 'the Fire Belt,' in which the epicenter of the earthquake lies.

Geologists labeled that region 'The Fire Belt' for being "a dangerous terrain that can move at anytime, without human intervention," Al-Osboa' wrote.

Despite warnings not to carry out nuclear experiments in and around the 'Fire Belt', "Israel and India continue to conduct nuclear tests in the Indian Ocean, and the United States has recently decided to carry out similar tests in the Australian deserts, which is included in the 'Fire Belt', the Egyptian weekly magazine wrote.

"Last year only, Arab and Islamic states have asked the United States to stop its nuclear activities in that region, and to urge Israel and India to follow suite," Al-Osboa' reported.

Although Al-Osboa' does not rule out the possibility that the tsunami could have been caused by a natural earthquake it speculates however that, "while it has not been proved yet, there has been a joint Israeli-Indian secret nuclear experiment [conducted on December 26] that caused the earthquake."

The Egyptian weekly magazine concludes in its report that "the exchange of nuclear experts between Israel and India, and US pressure on Pakistan which is exerted by supplying India with state-of-the-art nuclear technology and preventing Islamabad from cooperating with Asian and Islamic states in the nuclear field, pose a big question mark on the causes behind the violent Asian earthquake."

Incitement against Israel and Jews in Egyptian media is usually limited to the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict yet exceptions are known to occur.

In August 2002, the Paris Supreme Court summoned Ibrahim Naafi', editor of the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, for having authorized the publication of a controversial article entitled 'Jewish matza is made from Arab blood' in the October 28, 2000 edition of the paper.

Naafi' was charged with incitement to anti-Semitism and racist violence.

I thought the Australians wouldn't even let as much a nuclear powered American vessel near their shores, much less a nuke explosive.

And Americans won't accept George W Bush being inaugurated

Don't confuse the noisy trantrums of a few Greenpleasers wih what Australian in general think.

HAW! That's got to be the dumbest idea to come out of the Middle East since Islam!

Not even the Soviets at the height of the Cold War possessed a nuclear weapon capable of causing a tsunami like the one on December 26. What was the equivalent force of the earthquake? About 1300 megatons? The biggest bomb ever tested was the Tsar Bomba, or "King Bomb", and its yield was "only" about 50 megatons.

Only minds poisoned by Islam's hateful piety could come up with such dreck and then publish it as news.

I believe that's New Zealand that won't allow US Navy ships carrying nuclear weapons. I could be wrong, though.

It's amazing how many claims can be discounted as pure BS when you sit down and crunch the numbers, isn't it?

;-D

While Indians can be pretty weird at most times,I don't think they are shameless to buy nuclear tech from someone to take on the Pakis of all people.Heck,even Uganda probably has better indegnious nuclear tech than the Pakis,unless we're talking bout Pakiland's transplanted Chinese arsenal.

They aren't claiming that the presumed blast CAUSED the tsunami directly, they are claiming that the blast caused the earthquake, which in turn caused the tsunami. Personally, I think it would be easier to build a 2.4 teraton device than to calculate how to cause an earthquake, especially one that would cause a 'targeted tsunami'. Maybe they think it was just an accident and that we didn't INTEND to cause an earthquake. In any event, these people will believe whatever pushes forward their agenda even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Which, by the way, is the definition of a religious belief.
