IC Publications: "Syria must be reported to UN over nuke claims: Britain
Britain believes that Syria should be reported to the UN Security Council over its alleged illicit nuclear activity, Britain's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Wednesday.

In a restricted report circulated to member states last week, the UN watchdog said it was 'very likely' that a remote desert site in Syria bombed by Israeli planes in 2007 was indeed a covert nuclear reactor, as alleged by the United States.

British ambassador Simon Smith told reporters the report left no option but for the IAEA to refer Syria to the UN Security Council in New York.

'What the director general (Yukiya Amano) has told us about is a case of Syria's non-compliance with its comprehensive safeguards agreement,' he said."
