U.S. To Sell Bunker Buster Bombs to Israel

HeadlineSep 22, 2004

Haaretz is reporting the United States will soon sell Israel 5,000 satellite-guided smart bombs including 500 one-ton bunker busters
. One senior Israeli security official suggested the bombs may be used to attack Israel’s neighbors. He told * Reuters* “”This is not the sort of ordnance needed for the Palestinian front. Bunker busters could serve Israel against Iran, or possibly Syria.” Government sources said the $319 million deal is one of Israel’s largest weapons deals in recent years.
