The U.N.'s nuclear agency has decided to refer Syria to the Security Council over a suspect installation that is widely believed to have been a clandestine nuclear reactor. The installation was destroyed in a 2007 Israeli air strike, but IAEA officials say its inspectors have been banned from fully investigating the vestiges as well as other suspect installations in Syria. The Security Council could impose sanctions on Damascus similar to those already in place for Iran.
