IAEA finds more uranium traces in Syria

Vienna - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has found traces of uranium at an additional location in Syria, according to the agency's report from Friday which also focussed on the country's alleged nuclear reactor site at al-Kibar. The Vienna-based agency made it also clear it did not believe Syria's explanations about the al-Kibar site that was bombed by Israel in 2007 and which Damascus claims was a conventional military facility. 'The information provided by Syria to date does not adequately support its assertions about the nature of the site,' IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei wrote in the report to member countries. It was the second find of man-made uranium after IAEA inspectors detected such particles at the bombed site. The new traces were found at a small reactor in Damascus that is used for education and teaching purposes and that is under routine IAEA surveillance. Normally, one would expect to find different types of uranium at such a facility, a senior official close to the agency said.
