Andere berichten geven wat meer duidelijkheid:

"Other reports say some terrorist blasts in Iraq were the creation of Mossad agents in order to foment sedition among the Iraqis. Some other CIA-Mossad agents are tailing after Iraqi scientists and about 1000 were assassinated, the reports said. The "New Yorker" magazine said Israel has taken part in the formation of a special commando unit whose prime objective is to assassinate Iraqi men of resistance." bron

"The chief of the Iraqi Higher Education Ministry's Department of Research and Development Osama Abdul Majeed said in a statement published by the Jordanian As-Sabeel weekly magazine on Tuesday that 15,500 Iraqi scientists, researchers and university professors were dismissed from their jobs in terms of the fierce Israeli campaign. Another Iraqi official who refused to be identified said the dismissal plan was drawn up in Tel Aviv with a view to taking revenge against the executive producers of Iraq's scientific programmes."
