IAEA: Syria reports past nuclear work, blocks access
None
Syria has revealed some details of past nuclear experiments to UN inspectors but is still blocking access to a desert site where secret atomic activity may have taken place, a confidential IAEA report said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency report, obtained by Reuters on Monday, said Syria was not allowing follow-up access to a bombed desert site which US intelligence reports said had been a North Korean-designed nuclear reactor under construction, geared for atomic bomb fuel. "Such access is essential to enable the agency to establish the facts and make progress in its verification," IAEA chief Yukiya Amano wrote. (Reuters)
