On Thursday The Washington Post reported that Intelligence gathered by the United States over the past six months points to possible cooperation between North Korea and Damascus on building a nuclear facility on Syrian land.

The report said the evidence for the claim came primarily from Israel, including satellite images that led US officials to believe the facility could be used to produce material for nuclear weapons. Israel Media has stated it’s reasons for it’s bomb attack …

Report: Suspected nuclear shipment prompted IAF raid over Syria

Prominent US expert on Middle East tells Washington Post IAF carried out raid over Syria three days after North Korean shipment arrived at country’s port carrying material labeled as cement

An IAF raid over Syria allegedly occurred three days after the country received a shipment of material from North Korea labeled as cement, according to a senior US expert on the Middle East, as reported in the Washington Post Saturday.

The expert, who spoke to the Washington Post on the condition of anonymity to avoid compromising his sources, said the attack seemingly targeted a northern Syrian facility that was labeled an agricultural research center, close to the Turkish border.

According to the expert, Israel has kept a close eye on the facility, believing that Syria was using it to extract uranium from phosphates.

It was not clear what the ship arriving from North Korea was actually carrying, although Israeli sources largely believed it was delivering nuclear equipment, the expert told the Washington Post.

US: Syria on nuclear watch list

Acting deputy assistant secretary of state for nuclear nonproliferation says North Koreans are in Syria, Damascus may have had contacts with ’secret suppliers’ to obtain nuclear equipment Associated Press

A senior US nuclear official said Friday that North Koreans were in Syria and that Damascus may have had contacts with “secret suppliers” to obtain nuclear equipment.

Andrew Semmel, acting deputy assistant secretary of state for nuclear nonproliferation policy, did not identify the suppliers, but said North Koreans were in the country and that he could not exclude that the network run by the disgraced Pakistan nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan may have been involved.

Rice concerned over Syrian nukes

In TV interview, US secretary of state addresses reports of possible nuclear facilities in Syria, says, ‘We have to have policies that prevent the world’s most dangerous people from having the world’s most dangerous weapons’

Rice did not mention any possible attack on Syria, but said the United States was working with its allies to “shut down activities”. “That’s why we have a Proliferation Security Initiative that tries to intercept dangerous cargos. So this is something that’s been at the highest point of the President’s agenda since he came into power and we work every day and we watch it every day and we’re vigilant about it and we’re determined,” Rice explained.

Condoleezza Rice told Israel News

“I’m going to do everything I can to help carry out the President’s agenda and to press forward on issues like the Middle East peace and disarming some of these more dangerous states and worrying about — making sure that we fulfill our commitments to our Iraqi allies and our Afghanistan allies. And then I’m going to happily go back to Stanford.”

Excuses from a single source are always suspect.  When that single source is an American A-Bomb-A-Nation with an Theocratic Armageddon agenda, the information is not only suspect, but less than credible.  If North Korea is enabling Syria to increase nuclear capability, would that not threaten their newly found credibility?  Would that not undermine potential economic gains from this year’s compliance?  IAEA Says North Korea Has Shut Reactor
