Shock Waves from Syria
[Washington Post] Editorial - Media accounts are beginning to converge on a report that Israel bombed a facility on Sept. 6 where it believed Syria was attempting to hatch its own nuclear weapons program with North Korea's assistance. It is beginning to look as if Israel may have carried out the boldest act of nuclear preemption since its own 1981 raid against Iraq's Osirak nuclear complex. The Bush administration hopes to complete an accord with North Korea by the end of the year under which North Korea will disclose all of its nuclear programs and disable its facilities. U.S. negotiators cannot ignore the possibility that North Korea was shipping nuclear equipment to Syria even while promising to dismantle its own program.
