Syria's foreign minister suggested on Wednesday that Israeli bombs may be the source of uranium traces that diplomats at the UN nuclear agency said were found at a suspected nuclear site.
Walid al-Moallem said that the leaks by the diplomats about the traces found at the site were politically motivated and aimed at pressuring Syria.
Unnamed diplomats at the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency have said samples taken from a suspected nuclear site bombed by Israeli planes last year contained uranium combined with other elements that merit further investigation.
He told a news conference Wednesday that bombs containing depleted uranium have been previously used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
