Sudan: Israel tries to spy on oil production

After one of Darfur’s rebel fac­tions decided to open an office in “Israel”, an act which is con­demned by Sudan say­ing: this proves “for­eign hands” in Dar­fur.

A Sudanese offi­cial Dr. Amin Hasan, inter­viewed by al-Bayan news­pa­per two days ago and he accused “Israel” of financ­ing the rebels in Dar­fur saying:

One of the biggest “Israeli” insti­tu­tions in the U.S., the Holo­caust Museum in New York orga­nized two sem­i­nars on the Dar­fur cri­sis in the Holo­caust Museum.

Open­ing an office in “Israel” means the coop­er­a­tion between “Israel” and the rebels is becom­ing pub­lic instead of secretive.

This is reported yes­ter­day on the Sudanese news­pa­pers:

Sudanese cos­tumes offi­cer Brigadier Gen­eral Jamal Al-Din Salih said in a press con­fer­ence yesterday:

Cus­toms of Khar­toum air­port seized a highly sophis­ti­cated Israeli spy­ing device that sends data of Sudan’s oil production.

The device called “Router Power” man­u­fac­tured in Israel dis­cov­ered in a cargo came with friendly air­craft, and meant to be installed in one of the oil pro­duc­tion depart­ments to send pro­duc­tion data to groups linked with Israel.

The Iran option

Not long time ago I wrote “The US is push­ing Sudan to the Iran option”, and today news­pa­pers say it all: Sudan and Iran signed a defense treaty.
