Remember the Syrian nuclear reactor that Israeli warplanes bombed last year? We know it’s been kept relatively hush-hush, but it’s back in the news. [FOX]
Some people are speculating that the Syrians weren’t building it on their own.
Photos released today by U.S. intelligence officials show that the facility was incredibly similar to a nuclear reactor in North Korea. [ABC]
So wait, the North Koreans are mentoring the Syrians in how to build nuclear reactors?
It’s possible. Aside from the practically identical designs, U.S. intelligence claims they have video evidence of North Koreans working at the Syrian facility just before its destruction last September. [New York Times]
Video that was probably shot by Israeli intelligence, according to a source close to the administration. [CNN]
However, there was no evidence that North Korea was supplying fuel for the reactor, and North Korea is refusing to admit any role in supplying the facility or advising the Syrians on it.
Why are the feds admitting it now after months of hushing rumors and classifying information?
Many in the State department believe that Dick Cheney and other administration hawks hope that releasing the information might undermine a potential deal with North Korea that would take it off an American list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Congress is holding several closed door briefings on the situation today, with a press conference expected either today or tomorrow. [FOX]
We’ll be watching to see what happens.
