Syrian Ambassador: U.S. Allegations are "Madness"

03 May 2008

May 3, 2008 (LPAC)--The Bush Administration presented its hoked up allegations of nuclear cooperation between Syria and North Korean at a conference on nuclear non proliferation held in Geneva.

In a statement dismissive of the claims, Syrian Ambassador Faysal Al Hamoui told the conference, "U.S. allegations about the reactor were manufactured in order to create further crisis in the Middle East...We call upon member states to exercise caution and not to follow as other people have followed the vein of an administration which can only be described as madness."

In response to statements by France, claiming to have been "troubled" by the U.S. allegations, Al Hamoui said that France lacks credibility, "France played a major and pivotal role in building the Israeli nuclear program and continues to supply Israel with nuclear technology, which is a clear infringement of the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty)."
