[Iran Press TV] The UK and US militaries have been developing new biological weapons which are capable of terminating certain races, a Middle East expert tells Press TV."They (the US and UK military establishments) even developed a black-only bomb that targeted the Afro gene. There is even talk now that there may be one for the Chinese gene," Peter Eyre, a Middle East consultant, said in a recent interview with Press TV.
Eyre described the sinister project as "absolutely insane," adding the work on such weaponry initially started in former Rhodesia [modern day Zim-bob-we] by the UK government, but was then transferred to South Africa [by then UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher] when the former British colony declared independence.
The analyst went on to say that the US and UK have not only amassed a huge stockpile of biological and chemical weapons but also provided dictatorial regimes around the world to use and develop such lethal weapons.
"The United States, the United Kingdom...were behind providing Iraq Saddam Hussein with chemical and biological warfare [during Iran-Iraq conflict]...The UK actually paid for the laboratories to be established [in Iraq] and helped them (the former Iraqi regime) produce that," Eyre said.
Ralph Schoenman, a Caliphornia-based political commentator, also told Press TV that the Pentagon has also been weaponizing genomes viral agents in level 4 and level 5 laboratories in the US.
Schoenman further stated that such weapons are either sold to repressive regimes or are deployed in operations against countries Washington wants to destabilize.
The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which prohibits the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons, called on member states to destroy all stockpiles of banned substances by April 29, 2007.
However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
the US has announced that it will not be able to destroy its stockpile of chemical weapons before a final deadline required by the CWC in 2012, saying it needs at least another decade to destroy its chemical weapons.
According to the CWC's directive, any country found to be in non-compliance will have to be referred to the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
Security Council.
Schoenman said, however, that the US has no intention of eliminating these weapons and such talk on the US part is simply propaganda.
"There is not a scintilla of evidence to suggest that the US military indents to dispose of this weaponry; on the contrary, it is escalating its supply," he added.
