The Media Line

The Media Line: "Associated Press is reporting that according to a confidential document it has seen, Syria is reversing its policy and will cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s investigation into Syrian construction of a secret nuclear site that could have produced nuclear weapons. The site in question was destroyed by Israeli war planes in 2007. After the attack, the IAEA tried to verify the nature of the bombed facility, but was thwarted by Syria in those attempts. The agency suggests that the about-face is an attempt to avoid action by the U.N. Security Council where the U.S. is pressing for action. The Syrian move, if true, also comes within days of an IAEA report concluding that the site Israel bombed was, indeed, a nuclear facility. The document viewed by AP is a memo from the IAEA head to his board informing them that Syrian officials informed him that “we are ready to fully cooperate with the agency.”"
