The Syrian government is scoffing at the Bush administration's charge that Israel bombed a nuclear reactor operated by the Syrians and North Korea back in September. But if a new report from Bloomberg News is true, the Syrians--and North Korea-- may have a whole lot more explaining to do:
Ten North Koreans were killed in an IAF air strike on a Syria installation September, Bloomberg reported Monday, quoting an NHK report that cited unidentified South Korean intelligence officials.
The report quoted a Japanese broadcaster who said that they had been assisting the Syrians in the construction of a nuclear reactor. Several North Korean workers survived the air strike, the report said.
Yielding to months of pressure from the US Congress, the Bush administration gave members briefings on Thursday indicating that on September 6, Israel destroyed an alleged Syrian nuclear reactor built with North Korean help.
