October 28, 2007

Mohamed ElBaradei, the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, criticized  Israel in a CNN interview for it’s Sept. 6 airstrike on a facility in Syria, saying that Israel’s pre-emptive strike “is very distressful because we have a system.  If countries have information that the country is working on a nuclear-related program, they should come to us.”

ElBaradei told CNN that the IAEA has not received any information about secret nuclear activity in Syria and that Israel’s strike will make it more difficult to investigate or resolve any suspicions.
