Israel to block three agents from testifying in cluster bomb probe
U S officials continue the Cedar Rapids cluster bomb investigation as Israel refuses to allow three of its Defense Ministry agents to testify before a federal grand jury. Records seized July 8 at Vector Corp in Marion and at Bexco International in Cedar Rapids are under examination amid allegations Israel tried to obtain U S technology for producing cluster bombs. Subpoenas have been issued only for Israeli purchasing mission officials in New York City. The dispute strains U S Israel ties as officials apologize for publicity that surfaced details of the probe.
