King Hussein of Jordan says he fears Israel soon may launch a fifth Middle East war with a lightning attack to isolate Syrian forces in Lebanon and seal the Syrian-Jordanian border.
Hussein was quoted as saying he is "almost certain" Israel has nuclear weapons. At another point, he said: "Israel possesses gigantic military night butressed by advanced ground and air weapons. We don't even have guarantees that Israel does not possess nuclear weapons ready for use if the need arises."
