[AFP/SpaceWar] Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Monday took a swipe at UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei for saying there was no clear and present danger from Iran's nuclear program. ElBaradei, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told Le Monde that Iran would need "between three and eight years" to develop a nuclear bomb. "If ElBaradei thinks that an Iranian bomb in three years time does not bother him, it certainly worries me, even extremely," Olmert said. "It would be better if ElBaradei made an effort to prevent them from obtaining a bomb."
