IAEA inspects Syria reactor in uranium traces probe

The IAEA is far behind in the game of connect the Dots .
There is a reason why Syria will not let the IAEA inspectors search the Alleged Nuclear Sites !

IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING !



(Reuters) - U.N. inspectors have been able to revisit a Damascus nuclear research reactor as part of a probe into possible covert atomic activity in Syria, diplomats said on Tuesday.

But Syria continues to deny inspectors follow-up access to a desert site where Israel bombed a building in 2007 which U.S. intelligence reports said was a nascent, North Korean-designed nuclear reactor geared to yield atomic bomb fuel.

The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency has been checking whether there could be a link between the Damascus reactor and the bombed Dair Alzour site after discovering unexplained particles of processed uranium at both.

Syria turned down a planned IAEA inspection of the Damascus reactor in February, saying it was too busy with preparations for an IAEA Board of Governors meeting. But inspectors have now been allowed to examine the site.

"They visited Damascus only," a diplomat close to the IAEA said. The nuclear watchdog's next report on Syria is due toward the end of May.

Syria, an ally of Iran which is under investigation over nuclear proliferation suspicions, has denied ever having an atom bomb programme.

But in his February report on Syria, new IAEA chief Yukiya Amano gave independent support to Western suspicions for the first time by saying the uranium traces found in a 2008 visit by inspectors pointed to nuclear-related activity on the ground.

Syria's envoy to the IAEA has suggested Israel dropped uranium particles on to its soil to make it look as if a covert nuclear weapons plant was being built, an explanation which has been treated with skepticism by Western diplomats.

The IAEA wants to re-examine the desert site so it can take samples from rubble removed immediately after the air strike.

A point of serious Stupidity here ,
If the samples they would like to inspect were removed immediately After the Israeli airstrike how are they going to Examine them ?

Would they not need to go to where they were removed to ?

Do they think Syria will just hand them over for inspection ?

The agency has also been seeking access to three other Syrian sites under military control whose look was altered by landscaping after inspectors asked for access.

Look a shrubbery here a Nice Hosta over there throw in a few flowering plants in between and surprise , No nuke Site here !


Israel is widely believed to be the only Middle East state to possess nuclear weapons, although it maintains public ambiguity about its capability.
