My thoughts exactly. When I first heard of the raid I asked myself, Where would a country as broke as Syria is get the makings of a nuclear facility? and the stuff to put into it? It’s not like they coould run down to WalMart and pick up a few dozen scientists and a couple of bags of uranium. AQ Khan is out of business (allegedly) and Syria would probably be a little skittish about contacting him anyways. The location of the target faclity was close to the Iraqi border and close enough to the lines of communication coming out Iraq to make that a possibility.
