| 'Dozens died in Syrian-Iranian chemical weapons experiment' |
| 2007-09-18 |
| FWIW 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. |

| #5 I think maybe they don't really in their heart of hearts believe in the US chemical=nuclear=MWD equation. Hit somebody with VX they will, and with bottled sunshine respond we will. |
