    From the page:
    "On 16 September 2007 the Sunday Times quoted an Israeli source as saying that Syria had been planning a 'devastating surprise' for Israel, in the wake of reports that the Israel Air Force carried out an air strike against a North Korean nuclear shipment to Syria. The paper reported that Israeli sources said planning for the strike began in late spring 2007 when Mossad director Meir Dagan presented Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with evidence that Syria was seeking to buy a nuclear weapon from North Korea."
