Wee boy this is going to get the CT people into an uproar ... crud, that counts my in-laws. Since this isn't space related I'll plop it into Babbling.
All things considered, and the fact that I think more than one country would have detected said use, I'm doubting the case, but still, here you go:

Al-Jazeera: Strike on Syria was made by US Air Force with tactical nukes
The September 6 raid over Syria was in fact carried out by the US Air Force, Al-Jazeera's Web site reported Friday, quoting unnamed Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two strategic US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons executed the attack on a nuclear site under construction.
The sources were quoted as saying that Israeli F-15 and F-16 jets only provided cover for the US fighter-bombers, which carried one tactical nuclear weapon apiece. The site was hit by one bomb and totally destroyed. The use of nukes might account for the fact that the suspected plant was effectively erased from the earth, with few if any traces remaining, according to satellite photos.

I'm not finding anything on Al-Jazeera's English site though.
