US claims North Korea helped Syria build reactor bombed by Israel

April 24, 2008 

Members of the United States Congress were briefed today on United States intelligence that alleges that North Korea has been taking part in proliferation with Syria by helping them build and use a nuclear reactor located in the Syrian desert. 
According to news reports, citing sources familiar with matter, members of Congress viewed a video purporting to show North Korean workers at the Syrian plant. The plant was destroyed in a airstrike last September by Israeli F-15Is of 69 Squadron IAF. 
The video allegedly also shows that the reactor core design is identical to that of North Korea's Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center reactor.
