IAEA Viewing Satellite Imagery Of Israel Syria Strike-Sources

VIENNA (AP)--U.N. experts have been provided satellite imagery of the site struck last month by Israel warplanes and are analyzing it for signs that it might have been a secret nuclear facility, diplomats said Friday

One of the diplomats indicated that the photos came from U.S intelligence. Another said the images, which have been studied by experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency since being received Thursday, don't at first examination appear to substantiate reports that the target was a nuclear installation, but emphasized that the images were still being looked at.

The diplomats were briefed on the agency's receipt of the images. Officials of the Vienna-based nuclear watchdog said they had no comment.
