La advertencia de un disidente

Iraqi parliamentarian Mithal al-Alusi is warning that Iran is much closer to attaining nuclear capability than most sources, including the International Atomic Energy Agency and the US State Department, believe. In fact, he predicts the Iranians could have a nuclear capability – and may announce that they have it – as soon as next month.

“I am talking about Iranian insider information. Very clear, from inside Iran,” he said. “There are people within Iran who want to be normal… They know this is a dangerous regime. You see how they treat their own people… Iran is terrorizing the world already. What will they do once they have the bomb and they are stronger?”
...
An ideological pioneer, Alusi has frequently been ahead of the curve. Iraqi-born and bred, he fled to Germany in 1977 after being sentenced to death by Saddam Hussein for circulating anti-Ba’athist flyers. Following Saddam’s ouster, he returned to Iraq with his two sons to accept a leadership position in the Supreme National Commission of de-Ba’athification.

In September 2004, he traveled to Israel to attend a counterterrorism conference. He did so because, in his words, he believes “Israel is a modern state and an important part of the Middle East.”

Then, in February 2005, terrorist insurgents murdered his two sons, Ayman, 30, and Gamal, 22, apparently as payback for Alusi’s visiting the Jewish state – a taboo in Iraqi society. Minutes after the attack, he told reporters, “Even if these terrorists try to kill me again… peace with Israel is the only solution for Iraq. Peace with everybody, but no peace for the terrorists.”
