Israel Preparing for War

An Israeli human rights group has sued North Korea over the 1972 Lod Airport massacre by the ultra-left-wing Japanese Red Army terrorist group. Click here for the report.
The attack was carried out on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
A North Korean shipment of chemical- safety suits that may have been destined for Syria’s military is under investigation by the United Nations Security Council, diplomats familiar with a UN report said.
South Korea has told the Security Council that it seized garments “deemed to have military uses for chemical protection,” according to a report from Turkish Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan, chairman of a committee that monitors implementation of UN sanctions against North Korea.
Bloomberg notes:
Possible ties between Syria and North Korea have raised concerns in the Middle East.
Israeli warplanes bombed a desert site in Syria in 2007 to destroy what U.S. officials later said was a nuclear reactor project being built with North Korean help. While Syria has denied it was trying to develop a covert nuclear facility, UN atomic inspectors said last year they had found uranium traces in the country that may be linked to the site.
But Israel's former top general doubts the country can successfully launch (conventional) preemptive attacks against Iran's nuclear sites. Click here for the story.
