BERLIN-The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohammed El-Baradei again hit out at 'Israel's' willingness to take unilateral action against countries such as Syria, in comments published in a magazine interview Monday.

As well as the build-up of nuclear arms, the increasing penchant of countries to bomb suspected nuclear facilities also posed a growing threat to world peace, IAEA chief Mohamed El-Baradei told news magazine Der Spiegel.

"With unilateral military actions, countries are undermining international agreements, and we are at a historic turning point," said El-Baradei.

He was referring to the 'Israel' bombardment of Syria's Al-Kibar complex last September.
"We only heard of the 'Israeli' action from the television. No-one gave us any information or informed us of their suspicions," he said.

"We were only given access to pictures of the building and its destruction at the same time as the US Congress. That is unacceptable," ElBaradei said.

El-Baradei also slammed 'Israel' and the United States for not passing on earlier intelligence that allegedly showed the Al-Kibar site was a covert nuclear reactor.

The International Atomic Energy Agency had received "too little information too late," El-Baradei complained.

IAEA is sending a team of experts to Syria on June 22-24 to investigate the allegations and El-Baradei said his inspectors would demand visits to a number of locations that may have delivered components to the destroyed facility.
