Russia derides repots on alleged nuclear facility in Syria

Moscow, SANA-The Russian Foreign Ministry sniffed at reports about a secret underground nuclear facility in Syria, describing them as “silly.”

The German Der Spiegel weekly magazine had published a report earlier claiming that Syria was in the process of building an underground nuclear facility, an allegation that Syria vehemently dismissed as “pure lies.”

“We can only regret the damage done to the reputation of the magazine when it publishes such silly news,” said the Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Friday.
