Citizen journalism: where did the Israelis bomb?

Read this fascinating entry by Ogle Earth to see how citizen journalism can use geoweb tools to discover the facts behind the headlines. OG uses several threads of information and Google Earth to come up with a convincing candidate for the target site.

Which installation did the Israeli bombing raid in Syria on September 6 target?

That question has been been on the minds of quite a few pundits since news outlets began reporting on the night-time raid by Israeli jets deep in Syrian territory. At first, very little was known, as sources were uncharacteristically mum. Slowly, it became apparent that there was a nuclear angle, and a North Korean angle.

Meanwhile, can we figure out from the available piece-meal evidence what precise location this raid might have targeted?
