More than a year after an Israeli air strike took care of it, the United Nations’ blind, toothless nuclear watchdog thinks there might have been an illicit nuclear reactor in Syria.

VIENNA (Reuters) – A Syrian complex bombed by Israel bore features that would resemble those of an undeclared nuclear reactor and Syria must cooperate more with U.N. inspectors to let them draw conclusions, a watchdog report said on Wednesday.

Obtained by Reuters, the report said “significant” amounts of uranium particles were found at the site by inspectors who checked it in June but it was not enough to prove a reactor was there and further investigation was needed.
