I have long been following the accusations surrounding Myanmar’s nuclear program and here is the latest twist I found of interest:

Further evidence of the Myanmar government’s apparent desire to acquire military nuclear capability was supplied recently by David Albright, the head of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, which specializes in tracking worldwide nuclear proliferation. Albright published information on the institute’s Web site saying senior officials of the North Korean company, Namchongang Trading Corporation, recently visited Myanmar. Western countries have imposed sanctions on this company and forbidden trade relations with it.

This company had a branch in Damascus, which strengthened the suspicions that Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria is aiming at developing nuclear weapons and that it set up the nuclear facility – which was destroyed by the Israeli air force in September 2007 – with the aid of the North Korean company and other elements from Pyongyang. Israeli experts are also following reports of Myanmar’s nuclear program with interest. However, like other Western countries, the Israelis are skeptical about the reliability of the two defectors’ evidence, especially since there is no supporting evidence.   [Haaretz]

Here is one caveat on this story, notice that it is based from information from David Albright, so take it for what it is worth.  However, it does make sense that since the Israelis bombed the reactor in Syria that the Syrians would move their development of nuclear technology to a third country out of the reach of Israeli bombers.
