The International Atomic Energy Agency says findings at a Syrian site destroyed by Israel in 2007 are consistent with the presence of a nuclear reactor.
In a confidential report, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said the ousted government of Bashar Assad failed to report nuclear material, facilities and activities linked to the site at Deir Ezzor.
The assessment revives scrutiny of Syria’s undeclared nuclear activity and the facility targeted by Israel nearly two decades ago.
