ISRAEL SEEKS U.S. BUNKER BUSTERS

HA'ARETZ, Sept. 21 -- The Israeli air force will purchase $319 million in
air-launched bombs from the United States, including 500 deep
earth-penetrating "bunker-buster" bombs, Ha'aretz reports, citing a senior
Israeli security source.

"This is not the sort of ordnance needed for the Palestinian front. Bunker
busters could serve Israel against Iran, or possibly Syria," said the
source.

The sale, which includes 4,500 other guided air-launched munitions, is not
expected to go through until after the U.S. presidential election in
November.
