Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Syrian President Bashar Assad is seeking Tehran's help to relocate a dozen Iraqi nuclear scientists who were moved to Damascus prior to the collapse of Saddam Hussein's government last year, a report in London's Sunday Telegraph said. Quoting unnamed Western intelligence officials, the paper said Assad is "desperate" to unload the 12 middle-ranking Iraqi nuclear technicians and their families, fearing that their presence in Syria could be used by the U.S. as a pretext to target the nation. The Iraqis brought with them CDs packed with information on Saddam's atomic program. They have been given new identities and have been "conducting research on behalf of their hosts," the paper said. In exchange for the safe haven, Assad offered to transfer the Iraqis and their families with some essentials, and the team would assist Iran in its nuclear weapons development program. For his part of the deal, Assad wants Iran to agree to share the results of their research with Syria. According to the report, Assad is still waiting for an answer from Tehran.
