US claims video shows North Korea helped build Syrian reactor

The Guardian: The White House is today set to unveil a video it claims supports allegations that North Korea was helping Syria build a nuclear reactor.

The suspected reactor was destroyed by Israeli planes last September, in an attack reminiscent of Israel's 1981 raid on the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq.

Little is still known about the raid seven months on, and today's evidence has been keenly anticipated. US media reports say the video images, believed to have been obtained via Israeli intelligence, show Korean faces among the workers at the Syrian plant.
