(IsraelNN.com)- A new book being published next month reveals that Israel provided key intelligence to UN weapons inspectors starting in 1994. "The United Nations and Iraq" by Yale University scholars Jean E. Krasno and James S. Sutterlin, documents that Israel provided important intelligence to the inspectors on Iraq's Special Republican Guards, the Saddam's henchmen tasked with hiding Iraq's secret weapons. Rolf Ekeus, Lead Inspector, risked diplomatic fallout by authorizing contact with the Israelis. The book also mentions that the Israelis interpreted U.S. satellite reconnaissance photos better than the Americans themselves.
