Israel tries to block Jordan's signing of any nuclear cooperation

Israel is trying to block Jordan's bids to obtain nuclear technology for peaceful uses through agreements with the world's leading nuclear powers, the daily Alarab Alyawm reported Wednesday, citing a senior diplomat.

Over the past three years, Israel 'sought to obstruct the signing of any nuclear cooperation with Jordan,' the paper quoted an unnamed senior Jordanian diplomat as saying.

'Israeli agents were following closely the movements of the President of the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC), Khalid Touqan, and his discussions with concerned officials in other states of the world, and tried by all means to sway those countries not to sign cooperation agreements with Jordan,' the diplomat said.
