mualem : probably israel’s d.u. bombs

Syria’s foreign minister suggests that Israeli bombs may be the source of uranium traces that diplomats at the UN nuclear agency said were found at a suspected nuclear site. Walid Mualem says the leaks by the diplomats about the traces found at the site were politically motivated and aimed at pressuring Syria. He told a news conference Wednesday that bombs containing depleted uranium have been previously used in Iraq and Afghanistan. (AP)
