Some headlines and summaries from JTA

Israel lobbies for U.S. convicts

Israel reportedly wants to extradite two of its citizens jailed in the United States.

Ma’ariv reported Tuesday that Justice Ministry officials are in contact with their U.S. counterparts in hope of having the two Israelis, who are serving life sentences in New York’s Sing Sing Prison for a 1977 murder, transferred to correctional facilities in the Jewish state.

According to the report, Israeli officials would release them eventually since the convicts already have spent 27 years behind bars.

The Justice Ministry had no immediate comment.


Mossad warns of Iranian atomic arsenal

The head of the Mossad said Iran is trying to develop more than one nuclear weapon.
“The concern is that if they manage to acquire the bomb, they will not make do with the fissile materials required for one, but will go on producing larger amounts,” Meir Dagan told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in his annual briefing Tuesday.

According to Dagan, Iran is months away from being able to enrich uranium independently, a key step for making nuclear weapons.

He predicted that Iran would have the bomb within two years after that. Israel has been urging the U.N. Security Council to threaten Iran with sanctions unless it abandons its nuclear program.
