Syria And North Korea Sharing Nuclear Secrets

U.S. confirms Syria-N. Korea Nuke Link

The United States has determined that Syria has been seeking nuclear weapons from North Korea. "We do know that there are a

number of foreign technicians that have been in Syria," Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Semmel said. "We do know that there may have been contact between Syria and some secret suppliers for nuclear equipment. Whether anything transpired remains to be seen." One North Korean-flagged ship, Al Hamad, arrived in the Syrian port of Tartous on Sept. 3. Three days later, the Israel Air Force attacked an unspecified target in northeastern Syria along the Euphrates River near the border with Turkey.
