Syria's nuclear programme will be a key topic for the UN nuclear watchdog, at its week-long meeting in Vienna. Amid pressure from the U.S. and other states, the IAEA is discussing whether Dair Alzour, which was destroyed by Israeli warplanes in 2007, was a nuclear site. Damascus insists it was a peaceful facility, but the atomic agency is demanding concrete evidence to back up those claims. abah Al-Mukhtar from the Arab Lawyers Association told me earlier that Washington and its allies are using the allegations as a tool to remove the current rulers in Syria.
