Iraq may sue Israel for 1981 nuke attack
Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:29:40 GMT
Iraq is reportedly considering ways to force Israel to pay reparations for launching airstrikes on its nuclear reactor near Baghdad.
Iraqi legislators are looking into adopting a resolution that would urge Tel Aviv to pay billions of dollars in compensations for its 1981 attack on the Osiraq (Tammuz) nuclear reactor, Iraqi daily al-Sabbah reported on Thursday.
The lawmakers leading the campaign say they have based their case on United Nations Security Council Resolution 487, insisting that the official UN condemnation gives Baghdad the right to appropriate money for what it has suffered.
Mohammed Naji Mohammed -- a member of parliament with the United Iraqi Alliance coalition -- is leading the campaign against Israel.
Israeli warplanes struck the Iraqi nuclear reactor in a surprise attack code-named Operation Opera in June 1981. Israeli officials at the time claimed that its operation was aimed at preventing then dictator Saddam Hussein from using the reactor weaponization.

Galactica - Projector Room
Starbuck: Keep your ingress low and fast. Use the terrain to stay hidden 'til the last second. Make sure you give the flak suppression unit enough time so that they can weaken defenses.
Apollo: You don't think I'm up to this.
Starbuck: Of course I do, you'll be fine.
Apollo: Look, you're worried that I'm not gonna pull it out of the fire with some high-risk retina-detaching move, the way Starbuck would. Well, Kara, I'm sorry you're not suiting up. Because, believe me, everyone will feel so much better, me included, if you were riding along with us. But this isn't an ego trip, this is my job. And don't think for one moment that I will not get it done.
Starbuck: I hope so, 'cause we've got one shot. Don't frak it up by overthinking.

Helo: Nice thing about being on the run after a nuclear war, nobody left to complain if we hide out in their barn or raid their pantry while you're on your way to steal a ship and get off the planet. It's odd, isn't it?
Caprica Boomer: What?
Helo: That we haven't seen a single living human being since the one you shot, when you rescued me. I mean, we're still alive, why nobody else?
Caprica Boomer: Probably holed up in their fallout shelters or something.
Helo: Two ways out, and a lovely view. What could be better?
Caprica Boomer: A feather bed and a silk comforter?
