Egyptian paper: Israel-India nuke test caused tsunami
Joseph Nasr, THE JERUSALEM POST Jan. 6, 2005
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.
