WMD Redux? Germany’s ‘Der Spiegel’ Claims Syria is Attempting to Build Nuclear Weapons | Geopolitics | News, Opinions & Analysis that Matters
Timothy Alexander Guzman, Silent Crow News –A
new report published by a German news magazine Der Spiegel has
published a report claiming that the Syrian government under President
Bashar al-Assad has a “secret underground Plant” with the specific goal “of developing nuclear weapons.” The report suggests that unidentified “Western intelligence agencies” has evidence against the Syrian government because they “intercepted” private conversations between an Hezbollah operative and Ibrahim Othman, head of the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission:
But the clearest proof that it is a nuclear facility comes from
radio traffic recently intercepted by a network of spies. A voice
identified as belonging to a high-ranking Hezbollah functionary can be
heard referring to the “atomic factory” and mentions Qusayr. The
Hezbollah man is clearly familiar with the site. And he frequently
provides telephone updates to a particularly important man: Ibrahim
Othman, the head of the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission.
