Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 .. Pakistani General: U.S. Will Attack Iran and Syria The United States will launch an attack on Iran and Syria in October, a former top official in Pakistani intelligence claims. Retired Maj. Gen. Hameed Gul, former chief of Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence, told reporters that the United States. would definitely attack the two Muslim countries and condemned his own country’s weak reaction to Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon. He also predicted that after Iran and Syria, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan itself would be targeted by the United States. A frightening report written by another retired Pakistani military officer, Maj. Tahir Ahmad, appeared in the Pakistani newspaper Khabrain and suggested that the Muslim nation might use its nuclear capability to attack Israel: “[Gul] could confidently say that Pakistan was the only country in the Islamic world that could give a befitting response to Israel and defeat its designs. “What could Lebanon or Hezbollah do against such awesome firepower? God had blessed Pakistan with nuclear capability; therefore, it should play a part in defending the Muslim world. Hezbollah’s and Iran’s leaderships were bold, but they were unable to respond to the attacks of a nuclear Israel. However, by the grace of God, if Pakistan made bold decisions, it could defeat Israel.” NewsMax.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
