Elbaradei claims Israel's attack on nuclear facilities is prohibited by int'l law.

He's wrong & knows it.
The laws are related to nuclear POWER Stations providing power to civilians. Because civilians rely on that power.

It is NOT related to N. Processing facilities which don't provide electricity
