    The AIDS virus, previously thought to have been transmitted from chimps to humans in the 1930s, may have leapt the species barrier more than a century ago in west-central Africa, scientists said on Wednesday. Analysis of tissues preserved by doctors in the colonial-era Belgian Congo shows that the most pervasive strain of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) began spreading among humans at some point between 1884 and 1924. "The diversification of HIV-1 in west-central Africa occurred long before the recognised AIDS pandemic," they announced in the British-based science journal Nature.

According to the report, Israeli military sources told the London-based paper that following the reported air strike against the nuclear reactor at al-Kibar on September 6, Syria changed course and began a nuclear program based on the Iranian model of simultaneously building multiple facilities in various sites throughout the country. The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the report.
