UNSC to discuss 'secret' Syrian nuclear programme

The UN Security Council planned to discuss Syria's alleged secret nuclear programme with a senior International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspector who was travelling to New York to present the agency's findings, diplomats in Vienna said Wednesday.
The 15-nation council meeting on Thursday was to take place behind closed doors with senior IAEA inspector Neville Whiting, but was not expected to adopt any immediate action, diplomats said. The council is being presided over by Germany for July. The IAEA's governing board formally referred the case to the top UN body last month, reacting to IAEA chief Yukiya Amano's conclusion that Syria had likely been building a reactor.
