Title: CIA: Videotape Links N. Koreans to Secret Syrian Nuclear Reactor
Post by: TheSarge on April 24, 2008, 05:45:26 AM
WASHINGTON —  U.S. intelligence officials will show members of Congress a videotape and other evidence supporting their case that Syria was building a nuclear reactor with North Korean assistance before it was bombed by Israeli planes in September 2007, a U.S. official said Wednesday.

Intelligence officials who have seen the evidence consider it "extremely compelling," the U.S. official said. He said it was gleaned from a variety of sources, not just Israeli intelligence. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information.

The Syrian reactor was similar in design to a North Korean reactor that has in the past produced small amounts of plutonium, the official said. It was not yet complete but was far enough along to demonstrate a resemblance to the North Korean reactor at Yonbyon.

The official said no uranium_ the fuel for a reactor_ was evident on site. Syria has maintained in the past that the site was an unused military facility.

Well, what would you expect the opportunistic little pimps to say?  Of course they seem to be rather quiet about what difference telling them any earlier would have made, it's not like the IDF works for them.
