A confidential memo from Condoleezza Rice to U.S. State Department representatives around the world has confirmed that Israel destroyed a Syrian nuclear reactor, a cable leaked to WikiLeaks says. The cable which has not yet been published was reported by the Israeli newspaper Yediot Acharonot before its official publication on the WikiLeaks website.
The document was sent on April 25, 2008, by Rice, then secretary of state. It reads, in part, On September 6, 2007, Israel destroyed a nuclear reactor Syria was clandestinely constructing, we judge with North Korean assistance. The cable, which includes detailed information about the attack, is the first official confirmation of the attack, Yediot reported.
