Saddam Hussein at a nuclear reactor in France in 1975. Current
French President Jacques Chirac is at right in the glasses. Saddam
wanted a nuclear reactor capable of producing plutonium for nuclear
weapons. France supplied its Osiris reactor which was named Osirak
(Osiris + Iraq]. It was being erected when it was destroyed in a Sunday
strike [June 7, 1981] by the Israelis, timed to save the lives of the
French scientists helping with the construction.
Maybe France is up to no good too!
