CIA knew of Israel nukes years ago

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had affirmed more than three decades ago that Israel had nuclear bombs, a new report says.

 

"The Central Intelligence Agency, backed by (other) bodies including the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Defense Intelligence Agency, determined in August 1974 that Israel had nuclear weapons," the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.

 

The top secret document was released at a time when US President George W. Bush was visiting occupied Palestine.

 

Israel's former nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu revealed details of the reime's nuclear weapons program in 1986 and for the first time drew global attention to the cover-up.

 

Zionist regime is believed to have more than 200 nuclear warheads.
