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 US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a suspected nuclear site under construction.

Had a nuke detonation gone off, the Russians would have caught it on their detector satellites. Nukes have a unique signature that can only be generated by a detonation.

No doubt the Syrians are now going to produce radioactive materials from the area. Not from the destruction of their nuke site and the scattering of the fuel supplies but from the "nukes" the "Americans" dropped.

A biased opinion that, if I ever heard one. Obviously your assumption is that the Syrians are so untrustworthy that they would fabricate evidence, whereas the US would never be so brash as to use a tactical nuke, so that they could then say "look at all the nuclear waste material scattered by the explosion".

Further, there is no guarantee that the Russians would say much, unless of course they wanted to make an big international stink, which they may not at this time, for whatever reasons.

But basicly I agree with Josh. Unlikely but in the range of the possible.
