Syria Dismisses IAEA Call for More Access for Inspectors
(Reuters-Washington Post) Khaled Yacoub Oweis - Syria dismissed on Saturday an International Atomic Energy Agency recommendation to allow its inspectors unrestrained access, days after the agency said a bombed Syrian complex could have been a nuclear site. The report, by new IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano, prodded Syria to permit unfettered inspections to check out any covert atomic activity. "Syria is not obliged to open its other sites to inspectors," Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said.
