Washington, Aug 27(ANI): The United States and Israel are monitoring Syria's suspected cache of weapons of mass destruction, according to Israel's Ambassador to the US, Michael Oren.
United Nations (UN) investigators had recently concluded that Damascus had been secretly constructing a nuclear reactor with North Korean help before Israeli jets destroyed the site in late 2007.
US and UN nonproliferation officials, however, worry that North Korea may have provided Syria with additional nuclear-related equipment.
"We are very concerned about the status of Syria's WMD, including chemical weapons," the Wall Street Journal quoted Oren, as saying.
"Together with the US administration, we are watching this situation very carefully," he added.
Officials from both the countries also fear that terror groups could take advantage of the revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to obtain nerve gas and long-range missiles. (ANI)
