One year after Israel allegedly bombed a partially constructed nuclear
reactor deep in the heart of Syria, the nuclear aspirations of Syrian
President Bashar Assad have not subsided, with the country redoubling its
efforts to develop a nuclear program, Asharq Alawsat reported on Thursday.
According to the report, Israeli military sources told the London-based
paper that following the reported airstrike against the nuclear reactor at
Al-Kibar on September 6, Syria changed course and began a nuclear program
based on the Iranian model of simultaneously building multiple facilities in
various sites throughout the country. The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the report. The newspaper quoted the sources as saying that like the bombed nuclear
reactor, the newest facilities were being built with the backing of North
Korea. Furthermore, last month, a group of Iranian experts arrived in Syria
and also joined the project, the sources told the paper. The sources emphasized that Israel would not sit idly by and allow such
activity to proceed unhindered, adding that in the past year, three separate
events have proved that a "nuclear armed Syria is a red line which can't be
crossed." The three events, the Israeli sources said, were the reported
destruction of the first nuclear reactor, the assassination of top Syrian
adviser Brig.-Gen. Muhammad Suleiman in early August and the car bomb
explosion in Damascus last weekend which killed 17 people. According to the report, the sources claimed that Suleiman's death and the
car bombing were directly connected to the nuclear issue. The Syrian
adviser, they said, was responsible for the nuclear project in the country,
and among the fatalities in car bomb was another high-ranking Syrian
official involved in the nuclear program. |
