The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two strategic US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a nuclear site under construction. The sources were quoted as saying that Israeli F-15 and F-16 jets provided cover for the US planes. The sources added that each US plane carried one tactical nuclear weapon and that the site was hit by one bomb and was totally destroyed.
Oy.

I wish they'd provided the source link, even to the Arabic site. Searching the English side for "US air force syria" turns up nada.
Oy, Chris:
Are you doubting Jerusalem Post? Here is the
Al-Jazeera link.
Wicked, thanks!
It's a tricky thing when news outlets cite each other without the original source material. That's true whether it's the Jerusalem Post or the Boston Globe.
I try not to take any news outlet's word for it, I want to see the dirt for myself. =)
