Israel Building Nuclear-Proof Bunker

JERUSALEM - Israel is building a wartime command center under the
hills outside Jerusalem that will be able to withstand nuclear,
biological or chemical attacks, officials said Monday.
The compound would enable the Israeli prime minister and Cabinet to
conduct state affairs during an all-out attack. Israel has been
warning of a concerted Iranian effort to acquire nuclear weapons.
Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web
sites), said the project has been underway for some time. "Every
country in the world has a bunker for emergency uses to keep
functioning," he said.
Bulldozers began excavating tunnels outside Jerusalem last year,
security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Secrecy about the project is tight, but Israeli military censors
allowed Channel 10 TV to broadcast some pictures. The report showed
the entrance to a network of large dirt tunnels in a hillside, while
construction crews worked under cover of darkness.
"With the Iranian threat becoming more urgent, I think it's more
important for Israel to have this type of bunker that will be not
vulnerable to that kind of attack," said Efraim Inbar, director of the
Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Illan University near
Tel Aviv.
The bunker command post would be Israel's second. An underground
compound beneath the Tel Aviv headquarters of the Israeli military has
been in use for more than 30 years, starting with the 1973 Middle East
war.
That bunker was used strictly by the military, not elected officials,
and experts worried about the facility's security during the 1991 Gulf
War (news - web sites), when Iraqi missiles fired at Tel Aviv landed
nearby.
Tunnel excavation alone will cost more than $100 million, while the
costs of construction and the communications and ventilation systems
are unknown, the officials said.
The project is expected to take several years, media reports said.

Aha! This must be the New Jerusalem!
For they shall need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord
God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
