US: Time may come for special nuke probe of Syria

VIENNA — A US envoy on Thursday suggested time was running out for Syria to cooperate with a UN atomic agency probe of alleged secret nuclear activities before the agency invokes its seldom-used authority to call for a special inspection — a possible prelude to UN Security Council involvement.
Rising to Syria@@@s defense, a senior Iranian diplomat accused the organization — the International Atomic Energy Agency — of harassing Syria by leveling false allegations in collusion with Israel and its allies.
The two officials spoke as the 35-nation atomic agency board meeting turned its attention from the agency@@@s probe of Iran@@@s nuclear activities to suspicions that Syria has a hidden nuclear program.
