C'mon... who're ya gonna believe...

The North Koreans and the Syrians... or your lyin' eyes?

-- BBC -- North Korea was helping Syria build a nuclear reactor, US officials are to tell lawmakers in a closed session.

Unnamed officials told a number of US newspapers that the US had video footage of the Syrian facility with North Koreans inside.

Syria has repeated denials that it has any nuclear weapons programme, or any such agreement with North Korea.

The claims follows an unexplained air strike by Israel last September on a target inside Syria.

Whaddaya mean "unexplained?"

It was explained plenty.

But Syria is apparently sticking to their, er guns...

Syria's ambassador to the UN, Bashar Jaafari, denied the links.

"There was no Syria-North Korea co-operation whatsoever in Syria. We deny these rumours."

And apparently... the video evidence.

Yeah Bashar... go with that.
