North Koreans May Have Died in Israel Attack on Syria, NHK Says
2008-04-28
April 28 (Bloomberg) -- Ten North Koreans may have been killed in an Israeli air strike on Syria in September, NHK reported on its Web site, citing unidentified South Korean intelligence officials.
It's a start
The 10 people, whose remains were cremated and returned to North Korea in October, had been helping with the construction of a nuclear reactor in Syria, Japan's public broadcaster said. Some North Koreans probably survived the air attack, NHK said.
But perhaps not the "welcome" home. Dead men tell no tales.
The U.S. government last week accused North Korea of helping Syria build a secret nuclear reactor capable of producing plutonium.
