[ AFP] According to German intelligence reports, a joint plan by Syria, North Korea and Iran for a nuclear reactor for military use was to have been developed at the Al-Kibar site in Syria, which was destroyed by Israel last September, Der Spiegel reported. The reports claimed that Al-Kibar was to have been used as a temporary site for Iran to develop a nuclear bomb until it was able to do so on its own territory. The plan was discussed during a visit by Iranian President Mamhoud Ahmadinejad to Syria in 2006. Syria, North Korea and Iran also cooperated in the production of chemical weapons. At the time of an explosion at a chemical site in July 2007, 15 Syrian soldiers, 12 Iranian engineers and three North Koreans were among the victims.
