19 January 2007
ASSOCIATED PRESS (JERUSALEM)— On January 19, 2007, Jordan's King Abdullah II told Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, his country wants its own atomic program. It was the first time Abdullah spoke openly about desires for a Jordanian nuclear program. “The Egyptians are looking for a nuclear program. The GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) are looking at one, and we are actually looking at nuclear power for peaceful and energy purposes,” he told Haaretz. In Washington, the State Department indicated it had no objection to a peaceful Jordanian nuclear program.
