Dimona Employees
Sue For Damages

Jerusalem (JTA) — Eighteen for-
mer employees at the nuclear re-
actor in Dimona have charged in
a lawsuit that they developed
cancer as a result of a 1968 nu-
clear accident at the top-secret,
Negev-based plant.
The claim surfaced on Israel
Television, when the lawyer for
one of the employees, Barak Ben-
Amos, went public with the suit.
Mr. Ben-Amos claimed that he
was exposed to dangerous levels
of radiation when he and other
workers were called upon to clean
up the plant after the accident.
Mr. Ben-Amos stopped work-
ing at the plant soon after the al-
leged accident in 1968. He
underwent radical stomach
surgery at the end of 1991 for the
removal of a cancerous growth.
Gideon Frishtik, his lawyer,
said his client is seeking approx-
imately $330,000 in damages
from the plant.
Mr. Frishtik said he knew of
at least 18 other employees and
former employees who had ex-
perienced medical problems sim-
ilar to his client's.
One of these workers, Avra-
ham Benvenisti, also appeared
on television and asserted that
he had developed cancer of the
bladder and had been operated
on for the condition in 1988.
Mr. Benvenisti had worked at
the plant for 30 years, and is also
filing a damage suit against the
plant.
According to news reports, Is-
rael's Atomic Energy Commis-
sion denied that any radiation
had been leaked during the 1968
incident. The agency rejected the
workers' claim, saying the nu-
clear site is one of the world's
safest.

Amman Stages
Mosque Rally

Jordan's powerful Islamic move-
ment staged the largest mosque
rally since a breakthrough in
peace talks with Israel, with a call
to escalate resistance to normal-
ization with the Jewish state.
Hamsa Mansour, spokesman
for the Islamic Action Front,
. speaking amid chants of Allahu
Akbar (God is greater) and calls
for jihad or holy struggle, said
signs of emerging normalization
with the Jewish state were "get-
ting clearer by the day."
He called on society's thinkers
and elders to take the lead in
fighting the "phase of normal-
ization" by every means at their
disposal and warned of grave
dangers to the nation if this was
not challenged.
`The day an Israeli sets foot on
Jordan's soil is a black day in the
history of the nation," he said.
