The United States is monitoring information indicating that North Korea may be running a large underground military base in Syria that could be used for advanced weaponry and nuclear-related work, according to regional reports and U.S. officials tracking the situation.
Regional reports have begun to surface indicating North Korea has neared completion of the construction of an underground military base located near Qardaha in Syria, the hometown of embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"According to … satellite images and a military source the underground facility has been under construction for seven years, started by the beginning if the Syrian revolution in March 2011," Zaman Al Wasl, a Syrian news outlet, reported earlier this month. "The high level of secrecy and tight guard in the North Korean base raise speculations whether it's a nuclear facility or overseas depot for North Korean weapons."
U.S. officials told the Washington Free Beacon they are monitoring these reports and efforts by North Korea to help Assad rebuild Syria's chemical weapons factories.
"We are aware of reports regarding possible DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] assistance to Syria to rebuild its chemical weapons capabilities," a State Department official, speaking on background, told the Free Beacon. "We take these allegations very seriously and we are working assiduously to prevent the Assad regime from obtaining material and equipment to support its chemical weapons program."

Whatever is inside, it must be another target Israel has to destroy. It could be built underground to avoid IDF strike.
The US intel community sez it’s so, huh.
Uh...
Okay.
P!
“US Intel Community admonishes that NK missile base in Syria totally contributes to global warming and fluffy puppy death.”
Is this true, or more deep-state propaganda to prevent Trump from getting his tear-down-this-Berlin Wall moment on?
Maybe the Iraq WMDs are in there also.
The IC “monitors” mass shooters in the US too.
Generally ineffective they are.
“Whatever is inside, it must be another target Israel has to destroy. It could be built underground to avoid IDF strike. “
If that’s the case, we need to give Israel one of those deep penetrator weapons we’ve used against UG stuff elsewhere in the ME!
uh-oh...
A little over 300 miles from Tel Aviv as the bomber flies. They can fly over water the whole way. At least Trump won’t have to convince a skeptical public what’s there. Let Israel handle it. Can’t wait.
Didn’t Israel destroy something in Syria when W was president?
