Konferencja prasowa, US State Department, 17 Styczen 2003.
QUESTION: UP has a story that says Israel is mounting a
major assassination program abroad. They've been
notably unsuccessful on occasion in four or five
countries. My question is: What is the U.S. view of
Israel suddenly deciding to increase the funding for
Mossad just for this purpose? The story had very good
sources, both here and in Israel. And I'm wondering --
MR. BOUCHER: I'm not going to evaluate the story. I'm
not going to evaluate the sources. I'm not going to
evaluate the intentions of the Israelis.
QUESTION: Do you agree with their decision, though? And
possibly --
MR. BOUCHER: What decision? Go ask the Israelis. If
they tell you what they've decided to do, I will
comment then.
QUESTION: If I might, Richard. The story actually
indicates that Israel is prepared to undertake targeted
killings in the United States and quotes U.S. officials
as being aware of this policy.
MR. BOUCHER: Again, I'm not going to try to react to a
whole bunch of anonymous sources in a speculative article.
QUESTION: Well, could you say whether the U.S. would be
prepared to allow Israel to undertake targeted killings
of potential terrorists in the United States?
MR. BOUCHER: If you show me something where the Israeli
Government says that they are going to undertake
targeted killings of terrorists in the United States, I
will react at that time. I think our views on targeted
killings in the region is well known. It has not
changed. Our views of the importance of everybody in
this country respecting U.S. law is very clear and well
known. And I'm not going to try to speculate on
something that anonymous sources of that kind have put
in the press.
