German Intel Claims Syrian Reactor Was For Iranian A-Bomb

International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, 23 Jun 2008

According to German intelligence reports, a joint plan by Syria, North Korea and Iran for a secret nuclear reactor for military use was to have been developed at the Al-Kibar site in Syria, which was destroyed by Israel last September, Der Spiegel is reporting.

The report claimed that Al-Kibar was to have been used as a temporary site for Iran to develop a nuclear bomb until it was able to do so on its own territory.

The plan was discussed during a visit by Iranian President Mamhoud Ahmadinejad to Syria in 2006. The report comes as a team of IAEA inspectors arrived in Syria on Sunday for a first-hand look at the al-Kibar site.

Damascus quickly buried the bombed-out structure in hopes such a UN inspection would not detect its nuclear use.

Syria denies it has any covert nuclear weapons program and says the Israelis hit an ordinary military structure being built at al-Kibar, in the northeastern desert.
