King Abdullah: Jordan Will Develop Nuclear Power
[Ha'aretz] Akiva Eldar - Jordan aspires to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes, King Abdullah II of Jordan said Thursday. "The rules have changed on the nuclear subject throughout the whole region. Where I think Jordan was saying, 'we'd like to have a nuclear-free zone in the area,' after this summer, everybody's going for nuclear programs....The Egyptians are looking for a nuclear program. The GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] are looking at one, and we are actually looking at nuclear power for peaceful and energy purposes. We've been discussing it with the West."
