US memo: Israel bombed Syrian reactor
Cable leaked to WikiLeaks website, but yet to be published, is first and detailed confirmation of attack on Syrian nuclear facility. Document, revealed by Yedioth Ahronoth, was sent by then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to US representatives worldwide.
Further details, no surprises.
“…The first part of the memo details unprecedented information. “I would like to inform you that the Israeli attack was aimed at destroying the secret reactor built by Syria in a desert area in the east of the country called al-Kibar,” the secretary of state wrote.
“The Israeli mission was successful – the reactor was destroyed without an option of rehabilitation. Syria completed the site’s evacuation, got rid of the evidence of what existed in the area and set up a new building on the site.
“We believe, based on solid evidence, that North Korea helped Syria build the reactor – and we have decided that it’s time to share more information on this matter with you.”“
