Would any nation other than Israel have had the balls to do such a necessary job, so quickly?

Syria refuses peace talks with Israel

DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Senior Syrian officials said Monday the U.S. airstrike on a Syrian nuclear facility Sept. 6 has ruined all chances of peace with Israel.

The announcement came after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said earlier Monday there would be no war with Syria, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Olmert said ongoing tension with Syria in the past few weeks would not turn into armed conflict, and while Syria's troops are "on alert," Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal said Syria would not initiate an attack, Ynetnews reported.

Regarding talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Olmert said they "have gained momentum since the Palestinian unity government was dissolved and Hamas took over the Gaza Strip," the report said.

Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu challenged Olmert, saying the prime minister was "the only one in the State of Israel who believes (Abbas) is a partner," the report said.

North Korea hosts Syrian delegation

Pyongyang has denied any nuclear links with Syria, saying it was sticking to its non-proliferation pledge

Kim Yong Nam, North Korea's titular head of state and number two in the country's government, has met with a Syrian delegation in Pyongyang.

Confirmation of the talks, which were held over the past two days, came amid US and Israeli allegations of a nuclear connection between the two countries.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the country's official news outlet, said Kim Yong Nam had had "a friendly talk" with the Syrian delegation, which was led by Saaeed Eleia Dawood, director of the organisational department of Syria's Baath Arab Socialist Party.

'Secret suppliers'

KCNA said the Syrian official expressed satisfaction that the "friendly and cooperative ties" between the two countries "are growing stronger under the deep care of" Bashar Al-Assad, Syria's president and Kim Jong Il, the North Korean leader.

On Friday, the Syrian delegation held talks with Choe Tae Bok, a senior official of the North's ruling Workers' Party.

The delegation's trip to Pyongyang came amid allegations that the North may be providing nuclear assistance to Syria and against the background of an alleged Israeli airstrike on an undisclosed Syrian target on September 6.

Andrew Semmel, acting US deputy assistant secretary of state for nuclear nonproliferation policy, claimed last week that North Koreans were in Syria, and that Syria may have had contacts with "secret suppliers" to obtain nuclear equipment.

Pyongyang has angrily denied helping Syria, insisting it was sticking to an earlier pledge not to allow the transfer of nuclear materials.

In a landmark six-nation deal brokered in February, North Korea agreed to dismantle all its nuclear facilities and programmes in exchange for diplomatic concessions, energy and other aid.

This is the first mention of the "Alleged Attack" that I have been able to find in Al Jazeera. Maybe I need a new Islamic news source?
