Nork nukes sold to Syria. Iran?

Ynet:

Israel believes that North Korea has been supplying Syria and Iran with nuclear materials, a Washington defense official told the New York Times. “The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left,” he said.

The official added that recent Israeli reconnaissance flights over Syria revealed possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials estimate might have been supplied with material from North Korea.

Meanwhile on Wednesday the Nazareth-based Israeli Arab newspaper The Assennara cited anonymous Israeli sources as saying that Israeli jets "bombed a Syrian-Iranian missile base in northern Syria that was financed by Iran... It appears that the base was completely destroyed."

According to the Times, American officials confirmed Tuesday that Israeli jets launched an airstrike inside Syria. Sources said that Israel struck at least one target in northeastern Syria, but could not provide more details.

North Korea commented on the incident Tuesday, calling it a "dangerous provocation", Chinese News Agency Xinhua reported on Tuesday.

The most likely target was, according to some administration officials, weapon caches sent by Iran to Hizbullah through Syria.

There appears to be a good bit of inconsistent speculation on what, if anything, was attacked. It is also not clear what North Korea thought was a dangerous provocation. Perhaps that should be considered an admission against interest, that it was indeed involved in helping the Syrians and Iranians with a nuke facility. If so, Syria would be wise to pull back from their UN demands. It would not appear to be in its interest to have such a program exposed at the UN.
