Israel believes N. Korea selling nuke material to Syria: report
Washington (AFP) Sept 12, 2007 Israel recently carried out reconnaissance flights over Syria, taking pictures of possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials believed might have been supplied with material from North Korea, The New York Times reported Thursday. A US administration official said Israeli officials believed that North Korea might be unloading some of its nuclear material on Syria, the Times reported. "The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left," the unidentified official was quoted as saying. A US defense official confirmed Tuesday that Israel carried out an air strike well inside Syria last week, apparently to send Damascus a message not to rearm Hezbollah in Lebanon. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not know the target of the strike, which was conducted Thursday, but said the US military believed it was to send a message to the Syrians. "The Israelis are trying to tell the Syrians: 'Don't support a resurgence of Hezbollah in Lebanon.'" Israel fought a devastating 34-day war in July and August 2006 against Hezbollah, whose missile firepower and use of sophisticated weaponry surprised the Israelis.

Outside View: Pressure Pakistan over Khan
Washington (UPI) Aug 31, 2007 Pressuring a weakened strategic ally by reopening old wounds carries a certain amount of risk. But in the case of Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf's current domestic political troubles provide the United States with an opportunity to put something back on the table that should never have been taken off. |
