Chon Chibu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chon Chibu is a North Korean nuclear physicist who worked on the North Korean Civilian Nuclear Programme at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center. Chibu was photographed with Ibrahim Othman, the director general of the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission, in Syria in 2007. Documents found on Othman's laptop, including a photo of him with Chon, led to the strike at the al-Khibar nuclear reactor by the Israeli military (codenamed Operation Orchard) on 6 September 2007.
