IAEA found uranium traces at alleged Syrian nuclear site

None

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found uranium at an alleged secret Syrian nuclear reactor site that was bombed by Israel last year, a diplomat told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in Vienna on Monday.

 

Another diplomat indicated that IAEA inspectors had found traces of the metal during their first visit to the al-Kibar site in the Syrian desert in June, which was bombed by Israeli warplanes in September 2007. "It wasn't natural uranium," the Western diplomat said, adding that this indicated it might have been enriched. (DPA)
