White House: North Korea assisted Syria on nukes
WASHINGTON (AP) - April 24, 2008 After seven months of silence, the administration said that
after the reactor was damaged beyond repair, Syria tried to bury
evidence of its existence. The U.S. says Syria "must come clean
before the world" about its nuclear activities.
The White House called North Korea's nuclear assistance to Syria
a "dangerous manifestation" of that country's nuclear weapons
program and its proliferation activities. Still, the U.S. says it
is moving forward with six-party talks to try to resolve the
nuclear standoff with North Korea.
