CAIRO, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Egypt and Russia signed on Thursday an agreement to build a nuclear plant in the Arab country not long after a Russian plane crashed over Egypt's restive Sinai.

In a ceremony attended by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, the two countries signed on Thursday an agreement to establish a nuclear plant in the Arab country, the Egyptian state TV reported.

"It is a peaceful nuclear program to generate electric power and Egypt is fully committed to the treaty of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons," said Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi in a statement after the signing of the deal.

President Sisi also described the establishment of a nuclear power station as "an Egyptian dream."

Why give them a small airplane to plant a bomb on undetected when you can give them a Nuclear Bomb instead.

There is no way I would give them any plans to build such a plant there! Especially after all the riots and trouble they have had there not too long ago.

A nuclear power plant in Egypt is no more dangerous than one in Pakistan with its 100-130 nuclear weapons.
