Israel, Syria clash over "North Korean style" nuclear facility

While the Turkish raids were meant to be dominating the news Wednesday, Israel managed to steal the show again.  According to a report written by David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security, Israel may have destroyed a "North Korean style" nuclear facility in Syria during an airstrike Sept. 6.  Speculation that the attacks were on "nuclear facilities" had begun earlier this month in the New York Times and the Washington Post, but it was not until today that any expert of official would put his or her name behind the accusation

Though Iran, Iraq and North Korea were dominating the nuclear news for a few years, Syria may have been on its way to becoming the next rogue nuclear state.  Of course, all Syrian officials have denied that the photos showed a reactor, but let us not forget that Syria is one of the three countries that the State Department added to the "Axis of Evil."

Israel has remained quiet about the airstrike for over a month.  The only official statement indicated that an Israeli aircraft struck a target deep inside Syria.  All of the details remain classified and Israel remains quiet.

Within the next month, Syria the International Atomic Energy Agency should announce its analysis of the imagery, but until then we can only wonder:  Did we miss the weapons of mass destruction by just a few hundred miles?
