Syria has indicated that it has built a missile facility on the site of an alleged nuclear reactor that IAF warplanes reportedly bombed, diplomats said Tuesday.

The diplomats said that the facility appeared to be either a missile control center or an actual launching pad. They demanded anonymity for reporting on the closed meeting.

The site was bombed in 2007. The US said the reported Israeli air strikes destroyed a nearly completed reactor that would have been able to produce plutonium once completed.

In a land full of empty desert, they keep going back to THE SAME PLACE and spending money??

Sounds like the land is owned by the brother-in-law/son of a Democrat Congressman or Alderman!!
