The UN nuclear watchdog’s board of governors lifts a longstanding noncompliance complaint against Syria after Damascus led agency experts to key nuclear sites, diplomats say.

The board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) “adopted by consensus” a text stating that a 2011 resolution finding Syria in noncompliance with its obligations was “terminated,” noting the current government’s cooperation, two diplomats tell AFP.
