US brokers secret deal to secure Syrian nuclear material

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will remove the material from the "Site 99" facility, which contained yellowcake and residue from the former Al-Kibar reactor project. While not usable for a nuclear weapon, the material could be used for a dirty bomb, prompting Israel to threaten bombing the site if Syria attempted to access it. AI
