Photos show Syrian bomb site rebuilding
2008-01-17
A news report says a satellite photo of a Syrian site bombed by Israel in September appears to show new construction that resembles the site's former main building. The image, released Friday by DigitalGlobe, appears in yesterday's New York Times, which says the photo was taken from space Wednesday. The Israeli air strike has been shrouded in mystery for months.

Israel has maintained almost total silence since the Sept. 6 attack, which Syria said hit an unused military installation.

Foreign media reports, some quoting unidentified U.S. officials, have said the strike hit a nuclear installation linked to North Korea. Damascus denies it has an undeclared atomic program, and North Korea has said it was not involved in any such project.

Syria has signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and allowed agency experts to inspect its only known nuclear facility -- a small, 27-kilowatt reactor, according to diplomats linked to the UN watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.

#6  I've sorta been wondering if F-22s weren't used to bomb that site the first time. Driven by Israeli pilots, of course! ;-)

Perhaps it's a trap. When someone goes in for the re-bomb, the Russians Iranians Syrians will be watching to figure out how it was done. Maybe Israel could do it with a rented B-2 bomber the second time around.
