Another week is gone, and rumors continue to swirl around the globe as to what, exactly, the Israelis hit in a Sept. 6 airstrike on Syrian soil. The Israelis maintain that it is a nuclear facility, and are reporting that Syria is now dismantling the site. The Syrian government continues to deny all accusations–with the Syrian ambassador to the U.S. reiterating the denials to an audience in Texas this week.

Meanwhile, a U.N. interpretor mistranslated the words of Bassam Darwish, a Syrian representative, seemingly confirming to the U.N. that the site was a nuclear project.  A flurry of damaging media reports emerged, heightening concerns around the region and the world that Syria has nuclear ambitions.

Soon after, it was revealed that the interpretor had been mistaken. The same interpretor will now face disciplinary action.

The mystery remains.
