“Olmert: We’re prepared for any scenario”
By JPOST.COM STAFF
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The possibility that a Palestinian mob will storm the border of the Gaza Strip with Israel like it did in Rafah is of low probability, but Israel is prepared to deal with any situation that arises as Palestinians prepare to form a “human chain” along the border with Israel on Monday morning, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said early Monday when he landed in Tokyo.
“I’m not aware of such a warning,” he said. “But in the Middle East every far-fetched scenario must be taken into account and provided with a good solution. We take scenarios into account even if they are low probability.”
The prime minister responded to reports of mounting pressure on Israel to end the blockade of the Strip and cease military operations there.
“I have not received any specific message from the United States regarding the Gaza issue,” he said. “We will strike where it is necessary and we will strike anyone we need to in order to stop the Kassam rockets. We will not accept moral preaching in this matter from anyone. The information is known to all; the extent of the shooting. We don’t need to apologize to anyone.””

“Iranian dissidents urge immediate nuclear checks”
Wednesday, 20 February 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “BRUSSELS, Feb 20 (Reuters) - An Iranian opposition group called on Wednesday for the U.N. nuclear watchdog to immediately inspect facilities in Iran which it said were at the core of an accelerated nuclear weapons programme.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran dismissed a December U.S. National Intelligence Estimate that Tehran stopped trying to make a nuclear warhead in 2003, shortly after the group first revealed the country’s nuclear enrichment activity.
It charged that Iran had established a new command and control centre for the programme coded-named Lavizan-2 at Mojdeh on the southeastern outskirts of Tehran last April, near the site of a previous facility razed after its exposure.
The NCRI said the Iranian government was also actively pursuing production of nuclear warheads at a complex code-named B1-Nori-8500 at Khojir about 20 km (12 miles) further southeast.”
