Syria has ruled out access to its military sites for United Nations nuclear investigators.
The head of the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission, Ibrahim Othman, said his country was cooperating with the UN nuclear watchdog agency, but that this did not extend to military sites. The International Atomic Energy Agency has been probing Syria since May over US allegations that it ran a secret nuclear program. Last week, the IAEA released a preliminary finding for a site which Israel bombed last year. It said test samples indicated that the location bore no traces of atomic activity. US intelligence agencies have accused Syria of building a secret plutonium-producing reactor there.
