1981: Israel bombs Baghdad nuclear reactor
The Israelis have bombed a French-built nuclear plant near Iraq's capital, Baghdad, saying they believed it was designed to make nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.
It is the world's first air strike against a nuclear plant.

An undisclosed number of F-15 interceptors and F-16 fighter bombers destroyed the Osirak reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad, on the orders of Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

The army command said all the Israeli planes returned safely.

The 70-megawatt uranium-powered reactor was near completion but had not been stocked with nuclear fuel so there was no danger of a leak, according to sources in the French atomic industry.

Mortal danger

The Israeli Government explained its reasons for the attack in a statement saying: "The atomic bombs which that reactor was capable of producing whether from enriched uranium or from plutonium, would be of the Hiroshima size. Thus a mortal danger to the people of Israel progressively arose."

It acted now because it believed the reactor would be completed shortly - either at the beginning of July or the beginning of September 1981.

The Israelis criticised the French and Italians for supplying Iraq with nuclear materials and plegded to defend their territory at all costs.

The statement said: "We again call upon them to desist from this horrifying, inhuman deed. Under no circumstances will we allow an enemy to develop weapons of mass destruction against our people."

The attack took place on a Sunday, they said, to prevent harming the French workers at the site who would have taken the day off.

There have been no reported casualties.

The Osirak reactor is part of a complex that includes a second, smaller reactor - also French-built - and a Soviet-made test reactor already in use.

Iraq denies the reactor was destined to produce nuclear weapons.

Possible since Israel is the boss of the US.

Though bombing the reactor does not achieved the goal as it has not stopped the nuclear program of Saddam.

it could be a bluff, but it is enough to escalate volatility in an already volatile mid-east situation. bluff or not, it is only going to worsen things there for Israel, the Arabs and the Iranians. Israel has proven before that it could act unilaterally, only for its western allies to come to its aid regardless.

magtinarahay ra ni sila ug missile siguro kay layo kaayo ang Iran sa Israel. Moagi pa ug Iraq or Syria. Kung maki join nang duha mao na angay atngan. hehe..

Israel was developing an anti-missile system. Ambot kayha ug humana ba basin matestingan na siguro.
