‘Dozens Died In Syrian-Iranian WMD Experiment’
J-Post:
Proof of cooperation between Iran and Syria in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was brought to light Monday in a Jane’s Magazine report that dozens of Iranian engineers and 15 Syrian officers were killed in a July 23 accident in Syria.
According to the report, cited by Channel 10, the joint Syrian-Iranian team was attempting to mount a chemical warhead on a scud missile when the explosion occurred, spreading lethal chemical agents, including sarin nerve gas and VX gas.
The factory was created specifically for the purposes of altering ballistic missiles to carry chemical payloads, the magazine report claimed.
Reports of the accident were circulated at the time, however, no details were released by the Syrian government, and there were no hints of an Iranian connection.
The report comes on the heels of criticism leveled by the Syrains at the United States, accusing it of spreading “false” claims of Syrian nuclear activity and cooperation with North Korea to excuse an alleged Israeli air incursion over the country this month.
According to Global Security.org, Syria is not a signatory of either the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), - an international agreement banning the production, stockpiling or use of chemical weapons, or the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
Syria began developing chemical weapons in 1973, just before the Yom Kippur War. Global Security.org cites the country as having one of the most advanced chemical weapons programs in the Middle East.

Hmm …. what caused that explosion
There is still something else that happened that is putting these fuckers on their heals, and everyone is mum, including,.. those bastards.
Personnaly what I find hysterically funny is dumb dumb micky mouse pack leader Dennis kucinich. He decides to go over and play nicey nice with Syria without a clue of the world around him.
September 18th, 2007 at 4:09 pmTime to invade Syria.
September 18th, 2007 at 4:48 pmHmmm. So the Iranians are helping the Syrians figure out how to use Iraqi WMD’s.
September 18th, 2007 at 5:06 pmNo no, that was the only one they had… Iran and Syria really don’t have any kind of WMD program.

Vx gas. Lovely stuff.
September 18th, 2007 at 5:15 pmBest news I have heard in quite a while.
September 18th, 2007 at 6:14 pmGreg G.S. - beat me to it.
The Dems managed to smear the issue so severely that everyone seems to be content without knowing what happened to Iraq’s chemical weapons. We know they had them - 50,000 dead Kurds can’t be wrong. (or whatever the final tally is) They sure as hell weren’t destroyed as a gesture of Saddam’s good will and they didn’t dry up in the desert sun. My (completely serious now) guess is that they wound up in Syria.
September 18th, 2007 at 7:24 pmWhat do you call an accident that was perfectly timed?
September 18th, 2007 at 8:10 pmyeah how about that, using Iraqi wmd’s..Remember the reports from the top Air force General in Saddams military saying they were taken to Syria? the remarks were really never picked up by the MSM but what about it now? any takers?
September 18th, 2007 at 9:24 pmGBU43 your not trying to imply something or (cough someone)triggered that detonation in the Middle of nowhere, Syria
September 18th, 2007 at 11:23 pmThey said it was due to hot weather. Unusual for Syria!
