IAEA chief confirms traces of uranium found at Syria site
AP via Haaretz, Nov 17 2008
ElBaradei confirmed for the first time on Monday that samples taken from a Syrian site bombed by Israel last year, suspected to have been a nuclear facility, contained traces of uranium. ElBaradei said that the IAEA needs more transparency from Syria and other nations to determine whether traces of uranium found at the site indicate Damascus was building a nuclear reactor there. ElBaradei made the comments after a speech to business leaders in Dubai, days before the IAEA is expected to circulate a confidential report to board members outlining the status of his agency’s investigation. ElBaradei told reporters:
It’s not highly enriched uranium. It could have come from so many different ways. That’s why we’re looking at so many different scenarios. We still have a lot of work to do. We haven’t yet reached a conclusion whether that was a reactor or not a reactor. We need cooperation from everybody. We are not going to be able to reach a quick conclusion or jump the gun unless we have absolutely credible information.
The IAEA chief called specifically for more cooperation from Damascus, saying it needs a lot of transparency on the part of Syria. He said he was hopeful that Syria would allow inspectors back into the country to carry out further tests. But he also said Israel needs to provide more information to address Syrian allegations that the uranium may have come from Israeli bombs dropped on the site during the Sep 2007 raid. Moallem last week said it was unclear what type of bombs targeted the site, adding that the US has used bombs containing depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel’s Foreign Ministry had no comment on the matter when asked last week.

Where else, besides jew-controlled media, has “ElBaradei confirmed … that samples taken from a Syrian site bombed by Israel last year … contained traces of uranium”?
The story is infantile crap. It’s so easy to distinguish DU, yellowcake, reactor fuel, and Gaseous Uranium from each other that it would take less than half an hour to teach anyone how to do it. Only the dingbats at Haaretz would have the chutzpah to suggest that the IAEA is even mildly confused about the type and grade of Uranium residues found at the Syrian site, if any.
Besides, the IAEA is treated as a joke by the US and Occupied Palestine. So one has to marvel at the hypocrisy when either of them quotes or, as in this case, attributes bullshit to, ElBaradei.
The IAEA is just another irrelevant rabbit for the US and/or Occupied Palestine to pull out of the propaganda hat when either rogue state wants to embellish a hype-fest.
