Israel has accused the head of the United Nations atomic agency of bias in his probe of allegations that Syria hid nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons, Haaretz reported

Israel's chief delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency says IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei's repeated calls for Israeli cooperation in the probe are redundant.

He also accuses ElBaradei of refusing to meet with Israeli officials and says that shows ElBaradei has no interest in further information.

Israel Air Force jets destroyed what the U.S. said was a reactor built with North Korean help in 2007. Syria denies the target was a reactor and says uranium traces at the site come from Israeli bombs or missiles, something Israel denies.
