Last update - 15:39 28/04/2008 North Koreans said killed in IAF strike on alleged Syria nuclear reactor site By Haaretz Service and Reuters Tags: North Korea, Syria, IAF  Ten North Koreans helping build a suspected nuclear reactor in Syria may have died in an Israeli air strike last September, the Japanese public broadcaster NHK said on Monday, citing South Korean intelligence officials. The report follows the release of photographs by the United States last week of what it said was a Syrian nuclear reactor capable of producing plutonium built with North Korean help. Advertisement Israel has refrained from acknowledging that its jets attacked the facility in the September 6 air strike. NHK said the dead included officials of the North Korea's communist party unit that exports weapons and military technology and members of the North Korean military unit which made nuclear facilities in the country. Two or three North Koreans survived the air strike but it is not clear what happened to them afterwards, NHK reported. Syria has denied as "a fantasy" the U.S. charges regarding alleged nuclear weapons activity at the site, which some Syrian officials have described as an abandoned military base. Pyongyang has been reluctant to discuss any transfer of nuclear technology to other countries, notably Syria, as well as to account for its suspected pursuit of uranium enrichment.
