To brzmi niemniej sensacyjnie niż nalot na Osiraq!
Pamiętacie tajemniczy rajd izraelskich samolotów na Syrię
kilkanaście dni temu?
IAF prawdopodobie zniszczyły transport komponentów służących do
skonstruowania broni jądrowej, jaki przybył drogą morską z Korei
Północnej i Iranu. Wszystko było od dawna śledzone przez izraelskie
satelity szpiegowskie. Żydzi póki co nie potwierdzają tego
oficjalnie, ale czytając między wierszami sporo można się domyślić...

      Israel, U.S. Shared Data On Suspected Nuclear Site
      Bush Was Told of North Korean Presence in Syria, Sources Say

      By Glenn Kessler and Robin Wright
      Washington Post Staff Writers
      Friday, September 21, 2007; A01

      Israel's decision to attack Syria on Sept. 6, bombing a suspected nuclear site
      set up in apparent collaboration with North Korea, came after Israel shared
      intelligence with President Bush this summer indicating that North Korean
      nuclear personnel were in Syria, U.S. government sources said.

      The Bush administration has not commented on the Israeli raid or the underlying
      intelligence. Although the administration was deeply troubled by Israel's
      assertion that North Korea was assisting the nuclear ambitions of a country
      closely linked with Iran, sources said, the White House opted against an
      immediate response because of concerns it would undermine long-running
      negotiations aimed at persuading North Korea to abandon its nuclear program.

      Ultimately, however, the United States is believed to have provided Israel with
      some corroboration of the original intelligence before Israel proceeded with the
      raid, which hit the Syrian facility in the dead of night to minimize possible
      casualties, the sources said.

      The target of Israel's attack was said to be in northern Syria, near the Turkish
      border. A Middle East expert who interviewed one of the pilots involved said
      they operated under such strict operational security that the airmen flying air
      cover for the attack aircraft did not know the details of the mission. The
      pilots who conducted the attack were briefed only after they were in the air, he
      said. Syrian authorities said there were no casualties.

      U.S. sources would discuss the Israeli intelligence, which included satellite
      imagery, only on condition of anonymity, and many details about the North
      Korean-Syrian connection remain unknown. The quality of the Israeli
      intelligence, the extent of North Korean assistance and the seriousness of the
      Syrian effort are uncertain, raising the possibility that North Korea was merely
      unloading items it no longer needed. Syria has actively pursued chemical weapons
      in the past but not nuclear arms

      Snatched: Israeli commandos ‘nuclear’ raid
      Uzi Mahnaimi, Tel Aviv, Sarah Baxter, Washington, and Michael Sheridan

      ISRAELI commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit – almost certainly dressed
      in Syrian uniforms – made their way stealthily towards a secret military
      compound near Dayr az-Zawr in northern Syria. They were looking for proof that
      Syria and North Korea were collaborating on a nuclear programme.

      Israel had been surveying the site for months, according to Washington and
      Israeli sources. President George W Bush was told during the summer that Israeli
      intelligence suggested North Korean personnel and nuclear-related material were
      at the Syrian site.

      Israel was determined not to take any chances with its neighbour. Following the
      example set by its raid on an Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak 1981, it drew up
      plans to bomb the Syrian compound.

      But Washington was not satisfied. It demanded clear evidence of nuclear-related
      activities before giving the operation its blessing. The task of the commandos
      was to provide it.

      Today the site near Dayr az-Zawr lies in ruins after it was pounded by Israeli
      F15Is on September 6. Before the Israelis issued the order to strike, the
      commandos had secretly seized samples of nuclear material and taken them back
      into Israel for examination by scientists, the sources say. A laboratory
      confirmed that the unspecified material was North Korean in origin. America
      approved an attack.

      News of the secret ground raid is the latest piece of the jigsaw to emerge about
      the mysterious Israeli airstrike. Israel has imposed a news blackout, but has
      not disguised its satisfaction with the mission. The incident also reveals the
      extent of the cooperation between America and Israel over nuclear-related
      security issues in the Middle East. The attack on what Israeli defence sources
      now call the “North Korean project” appears to be part of a wider, secret war
      against the nonconventional weapons ambitions of Syria and North Korea which,
      along with Iran, appears to have been forging a new “axis of evil”.

      The operation was personally directed by Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence
      minister, who is said to have been largely preoccupied with it since taking up
      his post on June 18.

      It was the ideal mission for Barak, Israel’s most decorated soldier and
      legendary former commander of the Sayeret Matkal, which shares the motto “Who
      Dares Wins” with Britain’s SAS and specialises in intelligence-gathering deep
      behind enemy lines.

      President Bush refused to comment on the air attack last week, but warned North
      Korea that “the exportation of information and/or materials” could jeopard-ise
      plans to give North Korea food aid, fuel and diplomatic recognition in exchange
      for ending its nuclear programmes.

      Diplomats in North Korea and China said they believed a number of North Koreans
      were killed in the raid, noting that ballistic missile technicians and military
      scientists had been working for some time with the Syrians.

      A senior Syrian official, Sayeed Elias Daoud, director of the Syrian Arab Ba’ath
      party, flew to North Korea via Beijing last Thursday, reinforcing the belief
      among foreign diplomats that the two nations are coordinating their response to
      the Israeli strike.

      The growing assumption that North Korea suffered direct casualties in the raid
      appears to be based largely on the regime’s unusually strident propaganda on an
      issue far from home. But there were also indications of conversations between
      Chinese and North Korean officials and intelligence reports reaching Asian
      governments that supported the same conclusion, diplomats said.

      Jane’s Defence Weekly reported last week that dozens of Iranian engineers and
      Syrians were killed in July attempting to load a chemical warhead containing
      mustard gas onto a Scud missile. The Scuds and warheads are of North Korean
      design and possibly manufacture, and there are recent reports that North Koreans
      were helping the Syrians to attach airburst chemical weapons to warheads.

      Yesterday, while Israelis were observing Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the
      Jewish calendar, the military was on high alert after Syria promised to
      retaliate for the September 6 raid. An Israeli intelligence expert said: “Syria
      has retaliated in the past for much smaller humiliations, but they will choose
      the place, the time and the target.”

      Critics of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, believe he has shown poor
      judgment since succeeding his father Hafez, Syria’s long-time dictator, in 2000.
      According to David Schenker, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy,
      he has provoked the enmity of almost all Syria’s neighbours and turned his
      country into a “client” of Iran.

      Barak’s return to government after making a fortune in private business was
      critical to the Israeli operation. Military experts believe it could not have
      taken place under Amir Peretz, the defence minister who was forced from the post
      after last year’s ill-fated war in Lebanon. “Barak gave Olmert the confidence
      needed for such a dangerous operation,” said one insider.

      The unusual silence about the airstrikes amazed Israelis, who are used to
      talkative politicians. But it did not surprise the defence community. “Most
      Israeli special operations remain unknown,” said a defence source.

      When Menachem Begin, then Israeli prime minister, broke the news of the 1981
      Osirak raid, he was accused of trying to help his Likud party’s prospects in
      forthcoming elections.

      Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads Likud today, faced similar criticism last week
      when he ignored the news blackout, revealed that he had backed the decision to
      strike and said he had congratulated Olmert. “I was a partner from the start,”
      he claimed.

      But details of the raid are still tantalisingly incomplete. Some analysts in
      America are perplexed by photographs of a fuel tank said to have been dropped
      from an Israeli jet on its return journey over Turkey. It appears to be
      relatively undamaged. Could it have been planted to sow confusion about the
      route taken by the Israeli F-15I pilots?

      More importantly, questions remain about the precise nature of the material
      seized and about Syria’s intentions. Was Syria hiding North Korean nuclear
      equipment while Pyongyang prepared for six-party talks aimed at securing an end
      to its nuclear weapons programme in return for security guarantees and aid? Did
      Syria want to arm its own Scuds with a nuclear device?

      Or could the material have been destined for Iran as John Bolton, the former US
      ambassador to the United Nations, has suggested? And just how deep is Syrian and
      North Korean nuclear cooperation anyway?

      China abruptly postponed a session of the nuclear disarmament talks last week
      because it feared America might confront the North Koreans over their weapons
      deals with Syria, according to sources close to the Chinese foreign ministry.
      Negotiations have been rescheduled for this Thursday in Beijing after assurances
      were given that all sides wished them to be “constructive”.

      Christopher Hill, the US State Department negotiator, is said to have persuaded
      the White House that the talks offered a realistic chance to accomplish a peace
      treaty formally ending the 1950-1953 Korean war, in which more than 50,000
      Americans died. A peace deal of that magnitude would be a coup for Bush – but
      only if the North Koreans genuinely abandon their nuclear programmes.

      The outlines of a long-term arms relationship between the North Koreans and the
      Syrians are now being reexamined by intelligence experts in several capitals.

        The outlines of a long-term arms relationship between the North Koreans and the
        Syrians are now being reexamined by intelligence experts in several capitals.
        Diplomats in Pyongyang have said they believe reports that about a dozen Syrian
        technicians were killed in a massive explosion and railway crash in North Korea
        on April 22, 2004.

        Teams of military personnel wearing protective suits were seen removing debris
        from the section of the train in which the Syrians were travelling, according to
        a report quoting military sources that appeared in a Japanese newspaper. Their
        bodies were flown home by a Syrian military cargo plane that was spotted shortly
        after the explosion at Pyongyang airport.

        In December last year, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al Seyassah quoted European
        intelligence sources in Brussels as saying that Syria was engaged in an advanced
        nuclear programme in its northeastern province.

        Most diplomats and experts dismiss the idea that Syria could master the
        technical and industrial knowhow to make its own nuclear devices. The vital
        question is whether North Korea could have transferred some of its estimated 55
        kilos of weapons-grade plutonium to Syria. Six to eight kilos are enough for one
        rudimentary bomb.

        “If it is proved that Kim Jong-il sold fissile material to Syria in breach of
        every red line the Americans have drawn for him, what does that mean?” asked one
        official. The results of tests on whatever the Israelis may have seized from the
        Syrian site could therefore be of enormous significance.

        The Israeli army has so far declined to comment on the attack. However, several
        days afterwards, at a gathering marking the Jewish new year, the
        commander-in-chief of the Israeli military shook hands with and congratulated
        his generals. The scene was broadcast on Israeli television. After the fiasco in
        Lebanon last year, it was regarded as a sign that “we’re back in business, guys”.

            Israel's Raid on Syria: Prelude to a Nuke Crisis?
            By Dan Ephron and Mark Hosenball
            Newsweek

            Oct. 1, 2007 issue - Sam Gardiner plays war for a living. A former Air Force
            colonel who helped write contingency plans for the U.S. military, Gardiner has
            spent the 20 years since his retirement staging war-simulation exercises for
            military and policy wonks within and on the fringes of government (he keeps his
            client list confidential). Lately, more of his work has focused on Iran and its
            nuclear program. Gardiner starts by gathering various experts in a room to play
            the parts of government principals—the CIA director, the secretary of State,
            leaders of other countries—and presents them with a scenario: Iran, for example,
            has made a dramatic nuclear advance. Then he sits back and watches the cycle of
            action and reaction, occasionally lobbing new information at the participants.

            In Gardiner's war games, the conduct of Iran's nemesis, Israel, is often the
            hardest to predict. Are Israeli intelligence officials exaggerating when they
            say Iran will have mastered the technology to make nuclear weapons by next year?
            Will Israel stage its own attack on Iran if Washington does not? Or is it
            posturing in order to goad America into military action? The simulations have
            led Gardiner to an ominous conclusion: though the United States is now
            emphasizing sanctions and diplomacy as the means of compelling Tehran to stop
            enriching uranium, an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities could end up
            dragging Washington into a war. "Even if Israel goes it alone, we will be
            blamed," says Gardiner. "Hence, we would see retaliation against U.S. interests."

            How far will Israel go to keep Iran from getting the bomb? The question gained
            new urgency this month when Israeli warplanes carried out a mysterious raid deep
            in Syria and then threw up a nearly impenetrable wall of silence around the
            operation. Last week opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu chipped away at that
            wall, saying Israel did in fact attack targets in Syrian territory. His top
            adviser, Mossad veteran Uzi Arad, told NEWSWEEK: "I do know what happened, and
            when it comes out it will stun everyone."


            Official silence has prompted a broad range of speculation as to what exactly
            took place. One former U.S. official, who like others quoted in this article
            declined to be identified discussing sensitive matters, says several months ago
            Israel presented the Bush administration with reconnaissance images and
            information from secret agents alleging North Korea had begun to supply
            nuclear-related material to Syria. Some U.S. intelligence reporting, including
            electronic signal intercepts, appeared to support the Israeli claims. But other
            U.S. officials remain skeptical about any nuclear link between Syria and North
            Korea. One European security source told NEWSWEEK the target might have been a
            North Korean military shipment to Iran that was transiting Syria. But a European
            intelligence official said it wasn't certain Israel had struck anything at all.

            While the Bush administration appears to have given tacit support to the Syria
            raid, Israel and the United States are not in lockstep on Iran. For Israel, the
            next three months may be decisive: either Tehran succumbs to sanctions and stops
            enriching uranium or it must be dealt with militarily. (Iran says its program is
            for peaceful purposes only.) "Two thousand seven is the year you determine
            whether diplomatic efforts will stop Iran," says a well-placed Israeli source,
            who did not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak for the
            government. "If by the end of the year that's not working, 2008 becomes the year
            you take action."

            In Washington, on the other hand, the consensus against a strike is firmer than
            most people realize. The Pentagon worries that another war will break America's
            already overstretched military, while the intelligence community believes Iran
            is not yet on the verge of a nuclear breakthrough. The latter assessment is
            expected to appear in a secret National Intelligence Estimate currently nearing
            completion, according to three intelligence officials who asked for anonymity
            when discussing nonpublic material. The report is expected to say Iran will not
            be able to build a nuclear bomb until at least 2010 and possibly 2015. One
            explanation for the lag: Iran is having trouble with its centrifuge-enrichment
            technology, according to U.S. and European officials.

            Twice in the past year, the United States has won U.N. Security Council
            sanctions against Tehran. More measures might come up at Security Council
            discussions later this year, and recently French Foreign Minister Bernard
            Kouchner warned that European nations might impose their own sanctions. One U.S.
            official who preferred not to be identified discussing sensitive policy matters
            said he took part in a meeting several months ago where intelligence officials
            discussed a "public diplomacy" strategy to accompany sanctions. The idea was to
            periodically float the possibility of war in public comments in order to keep
            Iran off balance. In truth, the official said, no war preparations are underway.

            There are still voices pushing for firmer action against Tehran, most notably
            within Vice President Dick Cheney's office. But the steady departure of
            administration neocons over the past two years has also helped tilt the balance
            away from war. One official who pushed a particularly hawkish line on Iran was
            David Wurmser, who had served since 2003 as Cheney's Middle East adviser. A
            spokeswoman at Cheney's office confirmed to NEWSWEEK that Wurmser left his
            position last month to "spend more time with his family." A few months before he
            quit, according to two knowledgeable sources, Wurmser told a small group of
            people that Cheney had been mulling the idea of pushing for limited Israeli
            missile strikes against the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz—and perhaps other
            sites—in order to provoke Tehran into lashing out. The Iranian reaction would
            then give Washington a pretext to launch strikes against military and nuclear
            targets in Iran. (Wurmser's remarks were first reported last week by Washington
            foreign-policy blogger Steven Clemons and corroborated by NEWSWEEK.) When
            NEWSWEEK attempted to reach Wurmser for comment, his wife, Meyrav, declined to
            put him on the phone and said the allegations were untrue. A spokeswoman at
            Cheney's office said the vice president "supports the president's policy on Iran."

            In Iran, preparations for war are underway. "Crisis committees" have been
            established in each government ministry to draw up contingency plans, according
            to an Iranian official who asked for anonymity in order to speak freely. The
            regime has ordered radio and TV stations to prepare enough prerecorded
            programming to last for months, in case the studios are sabotaged or employees
            are unable to get to work. The ministries of electricity and water are working
            on plans to maintain service under war conditions. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
            Khamenei has also sent envoys to reach out to European negotiators recently, in
            the hopes of heading off further sanctions or military action.

            The question may not be whether America is ready to attack, but whether Israel
            is. The Jewish state has cause for worry. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
            vows regularly to destroy the country; former president Hashemi Rafsanjani,
            considered a moderate, warned in 2001 that Tehran could do away with Israel with
            just one nuclear bomb. In Tel Aviv last week, former deputy Defense minister
            Ephraim Sneh concurred. Sneh, a dovish member of Israel's Parliament and a
            retired brigadier general, took a NEWSWEEK reporter to the observation deck atop
            the 50-story Azrieli Center. "There is Haifa just over the horizon, Ben-Gurion

              The question may not be whether America is ready to attack, but whether Israel
              is. The Jewish state has cause for worry. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
              vows regularly to destroy the country; former president Hashemi Rafsanjani,
              considered a moderate, warned in 2001 that Tehran could do away with Israel with

              retired brigadier general, took a NEWSWEEK reporter to the observation deck atop
              the 50-story Azrieli Center. "There is Haifa just over the horizon, Ben-Gurion
              airport over there, the Defense Ministry down below," he said, to show how small
              the country is. "You can see in this space the majority of our intellectual,
              economic, political assets are concentrated. One nuclear bomb is enough to wipe
              out Israel."

              But can the Israelis destroy Iran's nuclear program? Gardiner, the war-gamer,
              says they would not only need to hit a dozen nuclear sites and scores of
              antiaircraft batteries; to prevent a devastating retaliation, they would have to
              knock out possibly hundreds of long-range missiles that can carry chemical
              warheads. Just getting to distant Iran will be tricky for Israel's squadrons of
              American-made F-15s and F-16s. Danny Yatom, who headed Mossad in the 1990s, says
              the planes would have to operate over Iran for days or weeks. Giora Eiland,
              Israel's former national-security adviser, now with Tel Aviv's Institute of
              National Security Studies, ticked off the drawbacks: "Effectiveness, doubtful.
              Danger of regional war. Hizbullah will immediately attack [from Lebanon], maybe
              even Syria." Yet Israelis across the political spectrum, including Eiland and
              Yatom, believe the risk incurred by inaction is far greater. "The military
              option is not the worst option," Yatom says. "The worst option is a nuclear Iran."

              The idea of a pre-emptive strike also has popular support. When Prime Minister
              Ehud Olmert ordered the raid on Syria earlier this month, his approval rating
              was in the teens. Since then, it has jumped to nearly 30 percent. And though
              Olmert may not believe Israeli warplanes can get to all the targets, he might be
              willing to gamble on even a limited success. "No one in their right mind thinks
              that there's a clinical way to totally destroy the Iranian nuclear facilities,"
              says the well-placed Israeli source. "You strike at some and set the project
              back. You play for time and hope Ahmadinejad will eventually fall."

              Alternatively, Israel might count on Tehran to retaliate against American
              targets as well, drawing in the superpower. To avoid that outcome, Gardiner
              believes, Washington must prevent Israel from attacking in the first place. "The
              United States does not want to turn the possibility of a general war in the
              Middle East over to the decision making in Israel," he says. Does not want to,
              certainly—but might not have a choice.

      Russians in Syria to upgrade defense systems: Report


      Printing Date: 10/4/2007

      Print

      The Times of London reported Tuesday that Russia has sent technicians to upgrade
      Syria's air defense system after Israeli electronic warfare systems allowed IAF
      warplanes to attack a target in Syria last month. The Times account also said
      that the airborne electronic warfare system, which it said jammed the
      Russian-made radar and the Syrian army's communications, was "believed to have
      been designed in readiness for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear sites." The
      Israeli military on Sunday lifted censorship on the fact that the air force
      carried out an air strike against a target deep in Syrian territory on September
      6th. But censorship remained in effect on critical details of the mission,
      including the nature of the target. Syrian President Bashar Assad confirmed an
      Israeli raid last month had targeted an abandoned military base in Syria.

      DEBKAfile Exclusive: Three groups of experts - Russian, Iranian and Syrian –
      still at sea over why Syria’s two early warning stations failed to protect its
      skies or identify Israeli air force raiders on Sept. 6.

      October 5, 2007, 8:59 AM (GMT+02:00)
      The Russian air defense system which failed

      This lapse was first revealed exclusively by DEBKAfile on Sept. 7:

      The Israeli jets said to have penetrated Syrian airspace Wednesday night escaped
      by jamming Russian-made Pantsyr-S1 air defense missiles

      DEBKAfile’s military experts conclude from the way Damascus described the
      episode that the electronic systems and radar of the Pantsyr-S1 air defense
      missiles were a letdown because they failed to down the intruders and therefore
      leave Syria and Iranian airspace vulnerable to hostile intrusion.

      Such information on the Russian weapons systems sold to Syria and Iran is
      essential to any US calculations of whether to attack Iran.

      Full article by DEBKAfile’s military sources of Sept. 7: HERE

      These revelations were followed up on Sept. 21 by DEBKA-Net-Weekly 318 (for
      subscribers): Syria’s vulnerability

      DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s military sources report that the Syrian early warning
      station, positioned at Marj as Sultan, 15 km east of Damascus and north of the
      Syrian air base at the international airport, is there to secure the Syrian
      capital and monitor Israeli air or missile activity on the Golan and from
      northern Israel.

      The Shinshar station south of Homs, near the small Syrian air base of Al Qusayr
      Shayrat, is located opposite northern Lebanon. Its function is to sound the
      alarm if airplanes, missiles or warships approach Syria from Lebanese territory
      of from the eastern Mediterranean.

      When the early warning stations in Syria were silenced, some communications
      systems, computers and cell phones were also knocked out in neighboring Lebanon
      – evidence that Syria had been bested in a cyber war against its electronic and
      radar systems.

      DEBKAfile adds: Syrian war planners are at sea on several key points, such as:

      1. When and from which did direction did the warplanes enter Syria airspace –
      the Mediterranean, Israel or Turkey?

      2. Was the incursion a one-off or one of several which went unnoticed?

      Until Israel released the bare information of the Sept. 6 air raid over Syria
      this week, neither Damascus nor Tehran knew for sure the identity of the air
      raiders, whether Israeli American or both.

                High Level Debate Stalled Syria Air Strike
                U.S. Was Concerned Over Intelligence, Stability to Region, Officials
                Tell ABC News
                Oct. 5, 2007 —


                The September Israeli airstrike on a suspected nuclear site in Syria
                had been in the works for months, ABC News has learned, and was
                delayed only at the strong urging of the United States.


                In early July the Israelis presented the United States with
                satellite imagery that they said showed a nuclear facility in Syria.
                They had additional evidence that they said showed that some of the
                technology was supplied by North Korea.


                One U.S. official told ABC's Martha Raddatz the material was "jaw
                dropping" because it raised questions as to why U.S. intelligence
                had not previously picked up on the facility.


                Officials said that the facility had likely been there for months if
                not years.


                "Israel tends to be very thorough about its intelligence coverage,
                particularly when it takes a major military step, so they would not
                have acted without data from several sources," said ABC military
                consultant Tony Cordesman.



                U.S. Cautious After Flawed Iraq Intelligence

                A senior U.S. official said the Israelis planned to strike during
                the week of July 14 and in secret high-level meetings American
                officials argued over how to respond to the intelligence.


                Some in the administration supported the Israeli action, but others,
                notably Sect. of State Condoleeza Rice did not. One senior official
                said the U.S. convinced the Israelis to "confront Syria before
                attacking."


                Officials said they were concerned about the impact an attack on
                Syria would have on the region. And given the profound consequences
                of the flawed intelligence in Iraq, the U.S. wanted to be absolutely
                certain the intelligence was accurate.


                Initially, administration officials convinced the Israelis to call
                off the July strike. But in September the Israelis feared that news
                of the site was about to leak and went ahead with the strike despite
                U.S. concerns.


                The airstrike was so highly classified, President Bush refused to
                acknowledge it publicly even after the bombs fell.

                ABC's Martha Raddatz filed this report for "World News With Charles
                Gibson."

      An Israeli Strike on Syria Kindles Debate in the U.S.
      By MARK MAZZETTI and HELENE COOPER

      WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 — A sharp debate is under way in the Bush administration
      about the significance of the Israeli intelligence that led to last month’s
      Israeli strike inside Syria, according to current and former American government
      officials.

      At issue is whether intelligence that Israel presented months ago to the White
      House — to support claims that Syria had begun early work on what could become a
      nuclear weapons program with help from North Korea — was conclusive enough to
      justify military action by Israel and a possible rethinking of American policy
      toward the two nations.

      The debate has fractured along now-familiar fault lines, with Vice President
      Dick Cheney and conservative hawks in the administration portraying the Israeli
      intelligence as credible and arguing that it should cause the United States to
      reconsider its diplomatic overtures to Syria and North Korea.

      By contrast, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her allies within the
      administration have said they do not believe that the intelligence presented so
      far merits any change in the American diplomatic approach.

      “Some people think that it means that the sky is falling,” a senior
      administration official said. “Others say that they’re not convinced that the
      real intelligence poses a threat.”

      Several current and former officials, as well as outside experts, spoke on the
      condition of anonymity because the intelligence surrounding the Israeli strike
      remains highly classified.

      Besides Ms. Rice, officials said that Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates was
      cautious about fully endorsing Israeli warnings that Syria was on a path that
      could lead to a nuclear weapon. Others in the Bush administration remain
      unconvinced that a nascent Syrian nuclear program could pose an immediate threat.

      It has long been known that North Korean scientists have aided Damascus in
      developing sophisticated ballistic missile technology, and there appears to be
      little debate that North Koreans frequently visited a site in the Syrian desert
      that Israeli jets attacked Sept. 6. Where officials disagree is whether the
      accumulated evidence points to a Syrian nuclear program that poses a significant
      threat to the Middle East.

      Mr. Cheney and his allies have expressed unease at the decision last week by
      President Bush and Ms. Rice to proceed with an agreement to supply North Korea
      with economic aid in return for the North’s disabling its nuclear reactor. Those
      officials argued that the Israeli intelligence demonstrates that North Korea
      cannot be trusted. They also argue that the United States should be prepared to
      scuttle the agreement unless North Korea admits to its dealing with the Syrians.

      During a breakfast meeting on Oct. 2 at the White House, Ms. Rice and her chief
      North Korea negotiator, Christopher R. Hill, made the case to President Bush
      that the United States faced a choice: to continue with the nuclear pact with
      North Korea as a way to bring the secretive country back into the diplomatic
      fold and give it the incentive to stop proliferating nuclear material; or to
      return to the administration’s previous strategy of isolation, which detractors
      say left North Korea to its own devices and led it to test a nuclear device last
      October.

      Mr. Cheney and Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser, also attended
      the meeting, administration officials said.

      The Israeli strike occurred at a particularly delicate time for American
      diplomatic efforts. In addition to the North Korean nuclear negotiations, the
      White House is also trying to engineer a regional Middle East peace conference
      that would work toward a comprehensive peace accord between Arabs and Israelis.

      The current and former American officials said Israel presented the United
      States with intelligence over the summer about what it described as nuclear
      activity in Syria. Officials have said Israel told the White House shortly in
      advance of the September raid that it was prepared to carry it out, but it is
      not clear whether the White House took a position then about whether the attack
      was justified.

      One former top Bush administration official said Israeli officials were so
      concerned about the threat posed by a potential Syrian nuclear program that they
      told the White House they could not wait past the end of the summer to strike
      the facility.

      Last week, Turkish officials traveled to Damascus to present the Syrian
      government with the Israeli dossier on what was believed to be a Syrian nuclear
      program, according to a Middle East security analyst in Washington. The analyst
      said that Syrian officials vigorously denied the intelligence and said that what
      the Israelis hit was a storage depot for strategic missiles.

      That denial followed a similar denial from North Korea. Mr. Hill, the State
      Department’s assistant secretary for East Asia and Pacific affairs, raised the
      Syria issue with his North Korean counterparts in talks in Beijing in late
      September. The North Koreans denied providing any nuclear material to Syria.

      Publicly, Syrian officials have said Israeli jets hit an empty warehouse.

      Bruce Riedel, a veteran of the C.I.A. and the National Security Council and now
      a Middle East expert at the Brookings Institution, said that American
      intelligence agencies remained cautious in drawing hard conclusions about the
      significance of the suspicious activity at the Syrian site.

      Still, Mr. Riedel said Israel would not have launched the strike in Syria if it
      believed Damascus was merely developing more sophisticated ballistic missiles or
      chemical weapons.

      “Those red lines were crossed 20 years ago,” he said. “You don’t risk general
      war in the Middle East over an extra 100 kilometers’ range on a missile system.”

      Another former intelligence official said Syria was attempting to develop
      so-called airburst capability for its ballistic missiles. Such technology would
      allow Syria to detonate warheads in the air to disperse the warhead’s material
      more widely.

      Since North Korea detonated its nuclear device, Ms. Rice has prodded Mr. Bush
      toward a more diplomatic approach with North Korea, through talks that also
      include Japan, Russia, South Korea and China. Those talks led to the initial
      agreement last February for North Korea to shut down its nuclear reactor in
      exchange for fuel and food aid.

      That deal angered conservatives who believed that the Bush administration had
      made diplomacy toward North Korea too high a priority, at the expense of efforts
      to combat the spread of illicit weapons in the Middle East.

      “Opposing the Israeli strike to protect the six-party talks would be a
      breathtaking repudiation of the administration’s own national security
      strategy,” said John R. Bolton, former United States ambassador to the United
      Nations.

      But other current and former officials argue that the diplomatic approach is
      America’s best option for dealing with the question of North Korean proliferation.

      “You can’t just make these decisions using the top of your spinal cord, you have
      to use the whole brain,” said Philip D. Zelikow, the former counselor at the
      State Department. “What other policy are we going to pursue that we think would
      be better?”

      Analysts Find Israel Struck a Nuclear Project Inside Syria
      By DAVID E. SANGER and MARK MAZZETTI

      WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 — Israel’s air attack on Syria last month was directed
      against a site that Israeli and American intelligence analysts judged was a
      partly constructed nuclear reactor, apparently modeled on one North Korea has
      used to create its stockpile of nuclear weapons fuel, according to American and
      foreign officials with access to the intelligence reports.

      The description of the target addresses one of the central mysteries surrounding
      the Sept. 6 attack, and suggests that Israel carried out the raid to demonstrate
      its determination to snuff out even a nascent nuclear project in a neighboring
      state. The Bush administration was divided at the time about the wisdom of
      Israel’s strike, American officials said, and some senior policy makers still
      regard the attack as premature.

      The attack on the reactor project has echoes of an Israeli raid more than a
      quarter century ago, in 1981, when Israel destroyed the Osirak nuclear reactor
      in Iraq shortly before it was to have begun operating. That attack was
      officially condemned by the Reagan administration, though Israelis consider it
      among their military’s finest moments. In the weeks before the Iraq war, Bush
      administration officials said they believed that the attack set back Iraq’s
      nuclear ambitions by many years.

      By contrast, the facility that the Israelis struck in Syria appears to have been
      much further from completion, the American and foreign officials said. They said
      it would have been years before the Syrians could have used the reactor to
      produce the spent nuclear fuel that could, through a series of additional steps,
      be reprocessed into bomb-grade plutonium.

      Many details remain unclear, most notably how much progress the Syrians had made
      in construction before the Israelis struck, the role of any assistance provided
      by North Korea, and whether the Syrians could make a plausible case that the
      reactor was intended to produce electricity. In Washington and Israel,
      information about the raid has been wrapped in extraordinary secrecy and
      restricted to just a handful of officials, while the Israeli press has been
      prohibited from publishing information about the attack.

      The New York Times reported this week that a debate had begun within the Bush
      administration about whether the information secretly cited by Israel to justify
      its attack should be interpreted by the United States as reason to toughen its
      approach to Syria and North Korea. In later interviews, officials made clear
      that the disagreements within the administration began this summer, as a debate
      about whether an Israeli attack on the incomplete reactor was warranted then.

      The officials did not say that the administration had ultimately opposed the
      Israeli strike, but that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense
      Secretary Robert M. Gates were particularly concerned about the ramifications of
      a pre-emptive strike in the absence of an urgent threat.

      “There wasn’t a lot of debate about the evidence,” said one American official
      familiar with the intense discussions over the summer between Washington and the
      government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel. “There was a lot of debate
      about how to respond to it.”

      Even though it has signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Syria would not
      have been obligated to declare the existence of a reactor during the early
      phases of construction. It would have also had the legal right to complete
      construction of the reactor, as long as its purpose was to generate electricity.

      In his only public comment on the raid, Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad,
      acknowledged this month that Israeli jets dropped bombs on a building that he
      said was “related to the military” but which he insisted was “not used.”

      A senior Israeli official, while declining to speak about the specific nature of
      the target, said the strike was intended to “re-establish the credibility of our
      deterrent power,” signaling that Israel meant to send a message to the Syrians
      that even the potential for a nuclear weapons program would not be permitted.
      But several American officials said the strike may also have been intended by
      Israel as a signal to Iran and its nuclear aspirations. Neither Iran nor any
      Arab government except for Syria has criticized the Israeli raid, suggesting
      that Israel is not the only country that would be disturbed by a nuclear Syria.
      North Korea did issue a protest.

      The target of the Israeli raid and the American debate about the Syrian project
      were described by government officials and nongovernment experts interviewed in
      recent weeks in the United States and the Middle East. All insisted on anonymity
      because of rules that prohibit discussing classified information. The officials
      who described the target of the attack included some on each side of the debate
      about whether a partly constructed Syrian nuclear reactor should be seen as an
      urgent concern, as well as some who described themselves as neutral on the question.

      The White House press secretary, Dana Perino, said Saturday that the
      administration would have no comment on the intelligence issues surrounding the
      Israeli strike. Israel has also refused to comment.

      Nuclear reactors can be used for both peaceful and non-peaceful purposes. A
      reactor’s spent fuel can be reprocessed to extract plutonium, one of two paths
      to building a nuclear weapon. The other path — enriching uranium in centrifuges
      — is the method that Iran is accused of pursuing with an intent to build a
      weapon of its own.

      Syria is known to have only one nuclear reactor, a small one built for research
      purposes. But in the past decade, Syria has several times sought unsuccessfully
      to buy one, first from Argentina, then from Russia. On those occasions, Israel
      reacted strongly but did not threaten military action. Earlier this year, Mr.
      Assad spoke publicly in general terms about Syria’s desire to develop nuclear
      power, but his government did not announce a plan to build a new reactor.

      The Gulf Cooperation Council, a group of Persian Gulf states, has also called
      for an expansion of nuclear power in the Middle East for energy purposes, but
      many experts have interpreted that statement as a response to Iran’s nuclear
      program. They have warned that the region may be poised for a wave of
      proliferation. Israel is believed to be the only nuclear-armed nation in the region.

      The partly constructed Syrian reactor was detected earlier this year by
      satellite photographs, according to American officials. They suggested that the
      facility had been brought to American attention by the Israelis, but would not
      discuss why American spy agencies seemed to have missed the early phases of
      construction.

      North Korea has long provided assistance to Syria on a ballistic missile
      program, but any assistance toward the construction of the reactor would have
      been the first clear evidence of ties between the two countries on a nuclear
      program. North Korea has successfully used its five-megawatt reactor at the
      Yongbyon nuclear complex to reprocess nuclear fuel into bomb-grade material, a
      model that some American and Israeli officials believe Syria may have been
      trying to replicate.

      The North conducted a partly successful test of a nuclear device a year ago,
      prompting renewed fears that the desperately poor country might seek to sell its
      nuclear technology. President Bush issued a specific warning to the North on
      Oct. 9, 2006, just hours after the test, noting that it was “leading
      proliferator of missile technology, including transfers to Iran and Syria.” He
      went on to warn that “the transfer of nuclear

        The North conducted a partly successful test of a nuclear device a year ago,
        prompting renewed fears that the desperately poor country might seek to sell its
        nuclear technology. President Bush issued a specific warning to the North on
        Oct. 9, 2006, just hours after the test, noting that it was “leading
        proliferator of missile technology, including transfers to Iran and Syria.” He
        went on to warn that “the transfer of nuclear weapons or material by North Korea
        to states or non-state entities would be considered a grave threat to the United
        States, and we would hold North Korea fully accountable.”

        While Bush administration officials have made clear in recent weeks that the
        target of the Israeli raid was linked to North Korea in some way, Mr. Bush has
        not repeated his warning since the attack. In fact, the administration has said
        very little about the country’s suspected role in the Syria case, apparently for
        fear of upending negotiations now under way in which North Korea has pledged to
        begin disabling its nuclear facilities.

        While the partly constructed Syrian reactor appears to be based on North Korea’s
        design, the American and foreign officials would not say whether they believed
        the North Koreans sold or gave the plans to the Syrians, or whether the North’s
        own experts were there at the time of the attack. It is possible, some officials
        said, that the transfer of the technology occurred several years ago.

        According to two senior administration officials, the subject was raised when
        the United States, North Korea and four other nations met in Beijing earlier
        this month.

        Behind closed doors, however, Vice President Dick Cheney and other hawkish
        members of the administration have made the case that the same intelligence that
        prompted Israel to attack should lead the United States to reconsider delicate
        negotiations with North Korea over ending its nuclear program, as well as
        America’s diplomatic strategy toward Syria, which has been invited to join
        Middle East peace talks in Annapolis, Md., next month.

        Mr. Cheney in particular, officials say, has also cited the indications that
        North Korea aided Syria to question the Bush administration’s agreement to
        supply the North with large amounts of fuel oil. During Mr. Bush’s first term,
        Mr. Cheney was among the advocates of a strategy to squeeze the North Korean
        government in hopes that it would collapse, and the administration cut off oil
        shipments set up under an agreement between North Korea and the Clinton
        administration, saying the North had cheated on that accord.

        The new shipments, agreed to last February, are linked to North Korea’s carrying
        through on its pledge to disable its nuclear facilities by the end of the year.
        Nonetheless, Mr. Bush has approved going ahead with that agreement, even after
        he was aware of the Syrian program.

        Nuclear experts say that North Korea’s main reactor, while small by
        international standards, is big enough to produce roughly one bomb’s worth of
        plutonium a year.

        In an interview, Dr. Siegfried S. Hecker of Stanford University, a former
        director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, said building a reactor based on
        North Korea’s design might take from three to six years.

        Washington and Steven Erlanger in Jerusalem.

      EXCLUSIVE: The Case for Israel's Strike on Syria
      Official: Air Attack Targeted Nascent Nuclear Facility Built With North Korean
      'Expertise'
      By MARTHA RADDATZ

      Oct. 19, 2007—

      Israeli officials believed that a target their forces bombed inside Syria last
      month was a nuclear facility, because they had detailed photographs taken by a
      possible spy inside the complex, ABC News has learned.

      The Bush administration has steadfastly refused to say anything about the
      Israeli raid on Syria, or to confirm what was hit. But ABC News has learned of
      the apparent mole and other dramatic and secret details about the events leading
      up to the airstrike, plus the evidence that supported it.

      A senior U.S. official told ABC News the Israelis first discovered a suspected
      Syrian nuclear facility early in the summer, and the Mossad  Israel's
      intelligence agency  managed to either co-opt one of the facility's workers or
      to insert a spy posing as an employee.

      As a result, the Israelis obtained many detailed pictures of the facility from
      the ground.

      Watch the Full Report Tonight on "World News With Charles Gibson"

      The official said the suspected nuclear facility was approximately 100 miles
      from the Iraqi border, deep in the desert along the Euphrates River. It was a
      place, the official said, "where no one would ever go unless you had a reason to
      go there."

      But the hardest evidence of all was the photographs.

      The official described the pictures as showing a big cylindrical structure, with
      very thick walls all well-reinforced. The photos show rebar hanging out of the
      cement used to reinforce the structure, which was still under construction.

      There was also a secondary structure and a pump station, with trucks around it.
      But there was no fissionable material found because the facility was not yet
      operating.

      The official said there was a larger structure just north of a small pump
      station; a nuclear reactor would need a constant source of water to keep it cool.

      The official said the facility was a North Korean design in its construction,
      the technology present and the ability to put it all together.

      It was North Korean "expertise," said the official, meaning the Syrians must
      have had "human" help from North Korea.

      A light water reactor designed by North Koreans could be constructed to
      specifically produce plutonium for nuclear weapons.

      When the Israelis came to the CIA with the pictures, the U.S. then got the
      site's coordinates and backed it up with very detailed satellite imagery of its
      own, and pinpointed "drop points" to determine what would be needed to target it.

      The Israelis urged the U.S. government to destroy the complex, and the U.S.
      started looking at options about how to destroy the facility: Targeters were
      assembled, and officials contemplated a special forces raid using helicopters,
      which would mean inserting forces to collect data and then blow the site up.

      That option would have been very daring, the official says, because of the
      distance from the border and the amount of explosives it would take to take down
      the facility.

      The options were considered, but according to the official, word came back from
      the White House that the United States was not interested in carrying out the raid.

      But as ABC News reported in July, the Israelis made the decision to take the
      facility out themselves, though the U.S. urged them not to. The Bush
      administration, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary
      Robert Gates leading the way, said the Israelis and the U.S. should "confront
      not attack."

      The official said the facility had been there at least eight months before the
      strike, but because of the lack of fissionable material, the United States
      hesitated on the attack because it couldn't be absolutely proved that it was a
      nuclear site.

      But the official told ABC News, "It was unmistakable what it was going to be.
      There is no doubt in my mind."
