Israeli Intelligence Aware of Syrian Nuke Facilities
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Israeli intelligence agencies are aware of additional Syrian nuclear facilities, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Thursday, amid reports that Syria was harboring a uranium conversion reactor near Marj as-Sultan, about 15 km. east of Damascus. The German Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper on Thursday identified the location of the site, which is suspected of containing a uranium conversion facility functionally related to the covert reactor at al-Kibar that the Israel Air Force destroyed in September 2007. Barak said the International Atomic Energy Agency was also aware of the Syrian facilities and that UN inspectors were working to gain access to them.
